CALL TO ORDER

APPROVAL OF MINUTES
On motion of Mr. Darsky, seconded by Mr. Negrin, the minutes of October
12, 1994 were approved unanimously, 5-0, as amended.
PUBLIC 11 RING - Subdivision - Gila Lourie - 109 Griffen Avenue -
Block 305 Lot 903
On motion of Mr. Negrin, seconded by Mr. Gonye, it was unanimously, 5-0,
RESOLVED, that the Public Hearing be, and hereby is, declared opened.
The Public Stenographer was present for this application and her
transcript will become a permanent part of this record.
Mrs. Lourie appeared with Eliot Senor of Gabriel Senor, Engineering. At
the meeting he distributed a new profile of the driveway and information
about pre-built bridges. It is proposed that the driveway cross the
stream at its narrowest point, parallel to Griffen Avenue. The bridge for
the driveway would be prefabricated and 12 feet wide. It would cross the
stream where it is 10 feet wide with a span of 20 feet.

Mr. Senor represented that he had contacted the Army Corps of Engineer and
that it had said that the stream in question is out of its jurisdiction.
Mr. Trachtman stated that he felt that the plan was feasible from an
environmental standpoint, but that more elaborate details such as
placement of hay bales was necessary. Mr. Silverberg stated that the
Board could make a negative declaration (following its previous Type I
action) that night, but that it might not feel comfortable with the lack
of certain information on the plans. The missing material included the
location of the bridge, direction of ground water and the proposed
mitigating measures for the extra water. He remarked that he, Mr.
Trachtman and the Board were all at a disadvantage because the plans were
not submitted in advance of the meeting.
Neighbors Eugene and Jane Kaplan were concerned about the effect of a new
house behind their house. Mrs. Reader assured them that the Board would
require mitigating measures for the driveway and the bridge. It was noted
that a new house would probably require an application for a Fresh Water
Wetlands and Water Courses permit before the Planning Board. Mr.
Trachtman stated that during construction down spouts, drywells or a swale
of gravel were likely to be required.
On motion of Mr. Fay, seconded by Mr. Darsky, it was unanimously, 5-0
RESOLVED, that the Public Hearing be, and hereby is, declared
adjourned until the meeting of December 14, 1994.
PUBLIC HEARING - Site Plan - Winged Foot Golf Club - 851 Fenimore Road -
Block 357 Lot 1.
Lawrence Gordon, architect, appeared with Russell Pelton, Esq., counsel
anda member of the club.
On motion of Mr. Negrin, seconded by Mrs. Reader, it was unanimously, 5-0,
RESOLVED, that the Public Hearing be, and hereby is, declared
opened.
The Public Stenographer was present for this application and her
transcript will become a permanent part of this record.
With more women playing golf, the applicant has found that it has become
necessary to add more sanitary facilities. The proposed comfort station
will not be placed near the existing one or the clubhouse. Its location
will be 400 yards from the stream crossing the golf course. This
application was approved by the CZMc and the septic system by the County
Planning Board

Board of Health. The structure will be built of stone which matches the
clubhouse and with a slate roof.
The proposed ball shelter will be built near the driving range and will
also be stone with a slate roof.
Mr. Silverberg explained that a computer glitich had caused a problem with
providing legal notice to some of the neighbors of the golf course, and he
suggested delaying the final vote.
On motion of Mr. Negrin, seconded by Mrs. Reader, it was unanimously, 5-0
RESOLVED, that the Public Hearing be, and hereby is, declared
adjourned until the meeting of December 14, 1994.
REFERRAL FROM TOWN BOARD - Amendment to Moratorium of Cellular Antennaes -
Mr. Fay again recused himself from the decision.
Mr. Silverberg explained to the Planning Board that the 90 day moratorium
declared in August was about to expire. The Town has hired a consultant
to aid in its decision. Should new legislation result, time would be
required for public hearings.
Mr. Negrin stated that he had felt that the original 90 days would be too
short.
On motion of Mr. Darsky, seconded by Mr. Negrin, the following resolution
was adopted unanimously, 4-0.
WHEREAS, the Mamaroneck Town Board has previously adopted a moratorium
on placement of cellular telephone antennas, and
WHEREAS, the Mamaroneck Town Board has referred a proposed extension
of the moratorium to this Board for consideration, and
WHEREAS, at its November 9, 1994 meeting this Board reviewed the
proposed extension and discussed its recommendations to the Town
Board; it is hereby
RESOLVED, that the Planning Board of the Town of Mamaroneck recommends
to the Town Board the adoption of the proposed extension to the
moratorium on placement of cellular telephone antennas for a period
extending to February 15, 1995 in order to permit the Town to conclude
its evaluation and study and to draft and implement such legislation
as may be appropriate based upon the study. Such recommendation is
consistent with the previous Resolution of this Board dated August 10,
Planning Board

1994, which recommended adoption of the moratorium in order to allow the
Town Board to appropriately review and research issues relating to the
concerns of the public with regard to the public health, safety and
welfare, the complex legal issues relating to such regulations, the
potential impacts upon critical environmental areas of such structures and
in particular, the consideration of the potential impacts of such
structures on property values, in particular zoning districts, and on the
visual aesthetic character of the Town.
ADJOURNMENT
On motion of Mr. Gonye, seconded by Mr. Negrin, the meeting was adjourned
