CONSIDERATION OF SITE PLAN - Town of Mamaroneck - 1361 Boston Post Road Block 411 Lot 169 Stephen V. Altieri, Town Administrator; Bradford Perkins, architect; and Martin Siefring, architect; appeared to present the new plan for affordable housing at the former Larchmont Motel site which is in the Urban Renewal area. Mr. Altieri requested that the Planning Board schedule a Public Hearing on the Site Plan and SEQRA. He stated that a referral to the ZBA would be necessary concerning lot coverage and parking in an adjacent lot and to grant a variance for the proposed Senior Citizen apartment. On motion of Mr. Gonye, seconded by Mrs. Jacobson, it was unanimously RESOLVED, that the Planning Board of Appeals is the Lead Agency and solely responsible for determining whether the proposed action may have a significant impact on the environment; and it is Planning Board June 10, 1992 -6- FURTHER RESOLVED, that this is a Type I Action which may have a significant impact on the environment as determined by New York State or corresponding local law; and it is FURTHER RESOLVED, that this matter be referred to the Coastal Zone Management Commission for environmental review. Mr. Seifring stated that his firm and the Affordable Housing Task Force had decided that 60 units, which would be allowed. were too many for the project. A 22 story "stick-built" design had evolved. Each building will have three units and three garages. 27 additional parking spaces will be provided to meet this Board's mandate of 12 spaces per living unit. 11 spaces will be on the adjoining school lot. Mr. Seifring demonstrated a landscape plan with a row of trees and a second line of shrubs near the Post Road. A quantity of rock removal will be necessary, as the site is on a slope. Mr. Bell reiterated this Board's strong negative feelings to blasting, and it was noted that the presence of school children during this part of the project could be hazardous. Mr. Altieri made corrections to the Environmental Impact Statement and will submit a revised one to the Board. Mr. Bell stated, on behalf of the Board, that the project was certainly one that the members would like to see happen. On motion of Mr. Donatelli, seconded by Mr. Murray, it was unanimously RESOLVED, that this Board hereby sets Wednesday, July 8, 1992 at 8:15 PM as the date and time for a Public Hearing for the application of the Town of Mamaroneck for a Site Plan Application and SEQRA determination; and be it FURTHER RESOLVED, that the Board Secretary is hereby authorized to publish the Notice of said Public Hearing in the Official Newspaper of the Town of Mamaroneck. CONSIDERATION OF AMENDMENTS TO SERVICE BUSINESS ZONE Proposals for changes to the Service Business (SB) Zone had been drafted by the CZMC and referred to the Planning Board by the Town Board. The SB Zone is zoned to be the only place for auto sales and auto repairs. This proposal has more stringent controls for oil disposal and other such residues. At this time, auto sales dealerships do not require a Special Permit in the SB Zone, and, thus, do not get a review from the Planning Board. Without such review, special conditions are not a part of the building review process. Mr. Silverberg stated that there are laws which limit such operations such as in the case of fast food restaurants and stated that such legislation be drafted to apply to new car dealerships. Conditions could be made with a change of ownership. Several members of the Board questioned the provision to sell cars inside and to wash them inside. Planning Board June 10, 1992 -7- The Board decided to study the similar Larchmont law and directed the Secretary to write to the Town Board to request an extension of the 45-day referral period. APPROVAL OF MINUTES On motion of Mr. Donatelli, seconded by Mr. Murray, the minutes of the meeting of May 8, 1992 were approved with several corrections. ADJOURNMENT On motion of Mrs. Jacobson, seconded by Mr. Donatelli, the meeting was adjourned at 10:00 PM. • Bonnie M. Burdick
