1. Approval of Minutes
The minutes of the September 26,2016 meeting was approved as submitted.
2. Referral—Village of Larchmont Proposed Local Laws
CZMC continued its discussion of the proposed amendments to the Village's local laws that began at the
September meeting. The Village of Larchmont has drafted amendments to their Zoning, Stormwater
Management and Tree protection Laws. CZMC members were given a red-lined version of the Stormwater
Law and some additional time to review the documents before making a consistency determination.
It was the consensus of CZMC that the proposed amendments are consistent with the policies in the Local
Waterfront Revitalization Program(LWRP)and that the Village should move forward with their adoption.
However,in the future,CZMC would suggest additional amendments to the Stormwater,Drainage and
Water Pollution Control Law and the Wetlands Law which would reflect the latest updates to the LWRP.
3. Referral—Winged Foot Golf Club—Wetlands and Watercourses Permit for the Restoration of the
West Course-Referred by the Town of Mamaroneck Planning Board
The Winged Foot Golf Club has begun the restoration of its West Course. This entails the reconstruction of
greens and bunkers to improve drainage,tree removals and planting,the enlargement of a stream crossing
and the removal of accumulated sediments from the streams. The Club is seeking a Wetlands and
Watercourses permit for the work to be conducted within the channels and within the wetland buffer.
CZMC found the proposed action to be consistent with the policies of the LWRP. Unfortunately,the Club
is opposed to replanting the banks and buffers of most of the watercourse with a meadow or riparian seed
mix because it is located along the fairways. They agreed to this type of restoration planting in those areas
not interfering with play.

4. LWRP Update
Elizabeth Paul sent CZMC members a markup of Section 1 and 2 of the LWRP along with drafts of several
of the maps. A substantial amount of editing has been completed on these sections so far and there is still
more work to do updating the information. Additional help is needed from the Village of Larchmont with
updates and edits to ensure the information is correct.
A revised draft of Section 3 will be completed for the November meeting along with additional mapping.
Comments on these sections should be sent to Ms.Paul in electronic or handwritten format.
