The Board then at 7:30 p.m. recessed into a Work Session to discuss the Memorial Park. RECONVENE REGULAR MEETING The Regular Meeting of the Town Board was called to order by Supervisor Price at 8:25 p.m. CALL TO ATTENTION Supervisor Price pointed out to those assembled the locations of exits as required by law for public gatherings. PUBLIC HEARING - Amendment to Local Law No. 7-1994 Moratorium on Placement of Cellular Telephone Antennas Supervisor Price explained that the purpose of this law was to extend the moratorium on cellular antenna installation, which was originally for 90 days. She said that the Town had retained the services of Cleary Consultants, who were environmental consultants and that they conducted the study of the Town's land use regulations with respect to placement of cellular telephone antennas with the Town. She said that as a result of the study Cleary Consulting had advised us that they will recommend certain amendments to the Zoning ordinance and because Town regulations State statutes require procedures as to referrals of proposed zoning amendments, it has become necessary to extend the of time for the moratorium to ensure the Town's compliance with State and local Environmental Quality Review Laws. The Supervisor requested anyone in favor of the law to now come forward. There being no one, she asked if anyone wanted to speak in opposition. November 16, 1994 David Snyder, legal representative for NYNEX read the following statement into the record: Comments of NYNEX Mobile Communications Company Before the Town of Mamaroneck Public Hearing on the Proposed Extension of its Cellular Moratorium November 16, 1994 Good evening. My name is David L. Snyder, and I am a partner in the White Plains law offices of Snyder & Snyder. I am appearing this evening on behalf of NYNEX Mobile Communications Company ( "NYNEX") . As the record in this matter amply demonstrates, NYNEX and its approximately 85, 000 customers in Westchester County are vitally concerned by the actions this Board is contemplating tonight . As NYNEX has repeatedly demonstrated in its testimony before this Board and other Town agencies, there exists a serious gap in cellular coverage within the Town of Mamaroneck. This gap poses an immediate risk to all persons (including public and private agencies) that rely on cellular service to report fires, automobile accidents or other incidents that directly threaten public health, safety and welfare. This risk is not speculative or otherwise overstated. Indeed, I would respectfully remind the Board of the August 17, 1994 letter from the United States Coast Guard which we previously placed in the record. The Coast Guard letter indicates that due to its proximity to Long Island Sound, seamless cellular service in Mamaroneck is vital to the federal effort to provide emergency service and assistance to persons on the nation' s coastal • waterways . 2 November 16, 1994 The development of a cell site in the Town of Mamaroneck thus continues to be a high priority for NYNEX. And I must. stress that this priority is imposed on NYNEX as a matter of law. NYNEX is obligated both under its license from the Federal Communications Commission, and as a public utility of the State of New York, to remedy any gap in service which impedes its ability to render safe, effective and seamless coverage within its franchise area. Accordingly, NYNEX is deeply troubled by and opposes, the Board' s stated intention to extend the cellular moratorium for an additional ninety (90) days . We believe our opposition is justified, since NYNEX has been given no idea of the steps the Board has taken thus far, to address the issues which prompted the moratorium originally. Indeed, while NYNEX was assured that it would be permitted to share its cellular expertise as the Town considered its options, the Town has made no effort to include NYNEX in the regulatory process . The exclusion of NYNEX from the regulatory process seems particularly unfair, since NYNEX has elected to work with the Town in resolving its citizen' s concerns, rather than immediately instituting litigation, as for example, was done by another utility in response to the Tarrytown Cellular Moratorium. As you may know, the Tarrytown Cellular Moratorium, which was in purpose and effect identical to the moratorium we are considering this evening, was twice overturned by the Courts . In the Tarrytown cases -- copies of which I will gladly provide -- the Courts found that cellular facilities posed no risk to public health. The Courts further determined that since a federal agency had considered the health impacts of these facilities, any inconsistent action by a local agency was pre-empted. The Tarrytown decisions are particularly relevant, since the Tarrytown moratorium, like the moratorium being consider tonight, stated that it was initiated in response to a "perception" 3 November 16, 1994 of risk. I note that in the Tarrytown case the Court found that : "The Village cannot, by law override a federal mandate by the enactment of a moratorium based solely on a perception of risk. " While NYNEX might be willing to accommodate a brief extension of the Mamaroneck Moratorium, it cannot do so without knowing where this matter stands, what has been done, what remains to be done, and when it will have an opportunity to participate in the regulatory process . In any event,. however, while NYNEX has acted with great restraint thus far, it cannot accept an extension of the Moratorium for an additional ninety (90) days . There is simply too much at stake . I appreciate your consideration, and remain hopeful that we can initiate a dialogue this evening that advances the interests of all parties, by identifying a definitive course of action that will move this process expeditiously to a conclusion. Thank you for your attention. Dated: Mamaroneck, New York November 16, 1994 The Supervisor commented that the appeal which Mr. Snyder was referring to that had occurred in Tarrytown differed significantly from this matter. Ernie Odierna said that speaking on his own behalf as a resident, the world is becoming dependent more and more on cellular communication and for the Town to study this and spend a great deal of money on studies seems ludicrous. Supervisor Price pointed out to him that other than Mr. Snyder, no one had objected or spoken out against this moratorium, and as a result of the moratorium, we engaged a study that has gathered research regarding concern about the public perception that had been voiced at our meetings. Mr. Batruss, Bruce Road - invited the Board to take as much time as they feel is necessary to address concerns that have been verbalized here and in many other places, and added that it was his belief that these antennas would work well out on Long Island Sound. 4 November 16, 1994 The Supervisor then read a communication she had received from Sandy Tashoff: November 16, 1994 1 AOMw:' ;., :d5 OFFICE TOWN OF .:AM RONECK Ms. Elaine Price Supervisor, Town of Mamaroneck Town Center 740 W. Boston Post Road Mamaroneck, New York 10543 Dear Elaine: I regret that I cannot attend the Town Board meeting this evening. However, for the record, I favor extending the moratorium on the installation of cellular antennas in the Town of Mamaroneck. Realistically, the density of the Town's population together with the location of our schools makes such installation a serious health and safety threat to all residents and their families. I implore the Board to be prudent, to seriously consider the scientific and medical expertise and advice of both your consultants and concerned residents, and to keep the health and safety of the residents a primary factor in such decisions. Once such cellular antennae are installed, the hazardous physical results cannot be reversed. The reality of our very lives being threatened for the sake of "state of the art" communications systems is not a well balanced equation! This is not a risk I'm willing to take! Thank you for your consideration. Sincerely, /gca•-,A8,0_ 40-d). • Sandy Tashoff The Town Attorney said that Cleary Consultants were working on drafting a zoning ordinance that will take the state issues into consideration, with the proviso that federal regulations be also respected. He suggested that 60 to 90 days be granted to allow the process the recommendations and for the Planning Board to review the proposal, and for the Town Board to set a hearing date. Mr. Snyder thanked the Board for their diligence and said that he was pleased to''see the process progressing, and it would be helpful if a draft was circulated since NYNEX and its engineers would then have the opportunity to have input as well. Ms. Silverberg explained that this draft was a working document that has not even passed staff approval, but at the appropriate time, a copy would certainly be given to him. Mr. Snyder asked if the Town would commit to a time. The Supervisor replied that there were too many variants to make such a commitment, because it depends on how much work needs to be done, noting that to give a date would only be misleading. Mr. Snyder asked if two weeks seemed fair, to which the Supervisor agreed. He then asked if he and NYNEX would be allowed access and input into the report, to which she also agreed. Ernie said that it seemed strange that the Board's consultant did not ask for the opinion of the NYNEX engineers. Councilman Weprin answered that NYNEX engineers would not have the independence necessary to be totally impartial. 5 • November 16, 1994 More discussion followed regarding procedure, and timing. On motion of Councilwoman O'Keeffe, seconded by Councilwoman O'Flinn, the Public Hearing was closed. On motion of Councilman Weprin, seconded by Councilman Ryan, it was unanimously RESOLVED, that the Town Board does hereby make a Determination of Non-Significance as follows: NEGATIVE DECLARATION NOTICE OF DETERMINATION OF NON-SIGNIFICANCE November 16, 1994 This notice is issued pursuant to Part 617 of the implementing regulations pertaining to article 8 of the Environmental Conservation Law and Local Law #4 of 1989 . The Town Board of the Town of Mamaroneck having previously declared itself lead agency hereby determines that the proposed action described below will not have a significant effect on the environment and that a Draft Environmental Impact Statement will not be prepared. Name of Action: Proposed local law entitled "Amendment to Local Law #7 of 1994, Moratorium on Placement of Cellular Telephone Antennas" . SEQR Status: Unlisted Description of Action: Extension of an existing ninety day moratorium on any approvals which would result in the erection of cellular telephone antennas in the Town of Mamaroneck, to February 15, 1995, in order to allow the Town Board to review possible implementation of local land use regulations relating to such installations. Location: Throughout the entire unincorporated area of the Town. fve Reasons Supporting Determination: The proposed action is a limited extension of an existing moratorium to allow the Town Board an opportunity to complete the study commenced by its consultants relating to the location of cellular telephone -antennas and determine whether it is appropriate for the town to implement regulations with respect to the placement of these antennas as part of its authority under local zoning and other land use regulations. After reviewing the criteria contained in 6 NYCRR 617 and local law # 4 of 1989, this Board has determined that there will be no significant impacts from the proposed moratorium extension. Any regulations which may be adopted as a result of the ongoing study shall be subject to separate evaluation under applicable environmental regulations. 6 November 16, 1994 On motion of Councilman Ryan, seconded by Councilman Weprin, the following law was unanimously adopted: LOCAL LAW No. , 1994 This Local Law shall be known as "Amendment to Local Law No. 7, 1994, Moratorium on Placement of Cellular Telephone Antennas" . BE IT ENACTED by the Town Board of the Town of Mamaroneck as follows : 1 . This Local Law shall be known as Amendment to Local Law No. 7, 1994, "Moratorium on Placement of Cellular Telephone Antennas" . 2 . Purpose and Intent : The Town Board, on August 17, 1994, adopted Local Law No. 1994, known as Moratorium on Placement of Cellular Telephone Antennas, which provided for a moratorium, for a period of ninety (90) days from adoption, on any action which would permit the erection of a cellular telephone antenna within the Town of Mamaroneck. Since the adoption of the Moratorium the Town Board has retained the services of Cleary Consulting, planning and environmental consultants, for the purposes of undertaking a study of the Town' s land use regulations with respect to placement of cellular telephone antennas within the Town of Mamaroneck. As a result of the study Cleary Consulting has advised that they will recommend certain amendments to the Town Zoning Ordinance with respect to the citing of cellular telephone antennas within the Town so as to address aesthetic, as well as public health and safety concerns arising from the proliferation of these antennas . Town regulations and State statute require that prior to the adoption of a zoning amendment that such amendment be referred to the Town of Mamaroneck Planning Board and to the County Department of Planning and, further, that the Town undertake compliance with the State Environmental Quality Review Act . It will be impossible to review the proposal of our consultant and to implement any changes before the expiration of the initial ninety (90) day moratorium period. it is, therefore, the purpose of this Local Law to amend Local Law No. 7, 1994 for the purposes of extending tpe moratorium so as to allow the Town to complete its study and adoption of regulations based upondthat study and to • maintain the status quo pending the adoption of those regulations so as not to render the Town' s efforts to review e these uses moot . P 3 . Section 6 of Local Law No. 7, 1994 is hereby amended to read as follows : "This Local Law shall be in effect until February 15, 1995 . " 4 . Severability Should any provision of this Local Law be declared unconstitutional or invalid by any court of competent jurisdiction, such declaration of unconstitutionality or invalidity shall not affect any other provisions of this Local Law .which may be implemented without the invalid or unconstitutional provision. 5 . Effective Date This Local Law shall take effect immediately. 7 November 16, 1994 ORAL COMMUNICATIONS Irving Scharf said that he was here to request that the Town Board take action on what is an increasing hardship on owners of coops and condos. Because of the way the law is written many renters actually pay less in rent than it costs the owners to run it, especially when you figure in the maintenance charged to the owners. He requested that a letter be sent to the Rent Guidelines Board regarding this problem. The Supervisor affirmed that she had knowledge of this problem and if Mr. Scharf would call her, she would prepare the correspondence. Councilwoman O'Keeffe requested Mr. Scharf to explain the procedure for rent stabilization. He outlined that one-third of the apartments are under rent control, and 80 percent of those are paying less in rent then what is charged to the owner for the maintenance. He then thanked the board for their attention. REPORTS OF THE COUNCIL Councilwoman O'Flinn reported that 22 trees had been planted along Murray Avenue, which had been funded through a grant received from the DEC. She said that the trees were purchased from a business located in the Town. Councilman Ryan reported that the new stand at the Ice Rink opened on October 26, that they had an excellent menu, and the response so far seems excellent. He said that the stand is open Monday -Thursday, from noon to 6; and Friday, Saturday and Sunday from noon to 10 PM. The Supervisor reported that there would be a meeting on November 28, in the Mamaroneck Senior Center, spearheaded by Martha Kaufman, who is revitalizing the Committee on Family and Youth, and the program will be on the use of alcohol by teens and discussion on intervention.
