1. Approval of Minutes
The Minutes of the June 24, 2013 meeting were approved as submitted.
2. Referral, 529 Weaver Street, Subdivision
Referred by Town of Mamaroneck Planning Board
Larry Nardecchia, the Consulting Engineer for 529 Weaver Street presented the proposal for the
subdivision of the property and the construction of two new single family homes. The property
currently has a single family home and a caretaker's cottage, accessed by a long driveway off of
Weaver Street. The applicant is proposing the construction of two new single family homes with
a shared driveway. This was suggested by the planning board to eliminate the need for a second
driveway on a blind curve on Weaver Street.
Four cultec units are proposed for Lot 1 and 5 units for Lot 2, with overflows from the front units
leading to a "basin"next to Weaver Street. CZMC had several comments about the design of the
proposed stormwater system. The system is designed to the 25-year stoiui as required by the
Town Code, however, due to the frequent flood conditions on Weaver Street, CZMC

recommends that the system be designed to the 100-year stoiui. Mr. Nardecchia agreed to
increase the number of infiltrators on each lot to increase stormwater capacity.
The second concern was regarding off-site drainage and how the proposed site changes could
impact stormwater flows along Weaver Street. Mr. Nardecchia explained that the drainage divide
on the property will be changed and a larger percentage of the stormwater will be directed
towards the front of the property. Infiltrators located near the front of the property will overflow
to a basin before discharging to Weaver Street. CZMC is concerned that during a larger-sized
stoiui, when infiltrators exceed capacity, Weaver Street would be negatively impacted by this
additional runoff. CZMC would like more detailed information on how this increase in flow will
impact the homes on Weaver Street, and would like to continue their discussion at its August 26th
meeting.
3. Referral, 2 Beach Avenue, Repair of Seawall, Referred by the Village of Larchmont
Building Department
Benedict Salanitro, the consulting engineer for the project presented the proposal to
repair the seawall damaged during Hurricane Sandy. The seawall will be repaired and
weep holes and scupper drains added to aid in the passage of water through the wall.
Access to the property will be through the Village-owned "Dog Beach".
CZMC found the proposed action to be consistent with the policies in the LWRP.
4. Town of Mamaroneck/Village of Larchmont LWRP Discussion
CZMC members will continue this discussion at the next meeting.
5. Old Business
No old business to discuss.
6. New Business
Marc Godick reported that the County is considering a change in the amount of rainfall
used to calculate runoff volumes for the 100 year storm. This is based on new data
collected during recent years. Rainfall quantities would be changed from 7.2" in a 24-
hour period to 9" during that period.
The meeting was adjourned at 9:30 p.m.
