3. Referral of Blockbuster Video, 1331 Boston Post Road
Town of Mamaroneck Planning Board
Block411, Lot 119
The Commission reviewed a Site Plan Approval Application, and accompanying
Environmental Assessment Form for this site. The owner proposes to reconfigure the
existing parking lot to change a two-way exit/entrance into a one way entrance and create
a one way exit. Robert Novak, the owner of the property, described the proposed changes
for the Commission. The changes will require an additional 16 foot sidewalk cut and the
exit of cars over a small strip of Town property, however there will be a reduction in the
width of the existing sidewalk cut. The Commission determined that there is no need to
recommend an oil/water separator at the lot because of the relatively small number of cars
using the site, and the fact that it is used for short term parking. Mr. Novak described the
additional screening and plantings proposed for the site in conjunction with the proposed
changes. The Commission determined that this proposal is neither consistent nor
inconsistent with the LWRP and that there will be no significant change to the current
use.
4. Proposed Town Attendance Policy
The attention of the Commission was called to a proposed local law, entitled "Removal
from Boards, Commissions, Council and Committees of the Town of Mamaroneck"
which was scheduled for public hearing on August 23, 2000. The law states that persons
appointed to serve on boards, commissions, councils and committees of the Town are
subject to removal from office by reason of three unexplained absences within a twelve
month period. The Commission discussed the need to notify the Chair in the event that a
. member will be absent, to ensure that there will be a quorum of the scheduled meeting.
5. Old Business
The Commission was advised that the proposal for construction at 10 Evergreen Lane is
on the agenda for the Town Planning Board meeting in October.
6. New Business
The Commission discussed the possibility of conducting an open space inventory and
zoning analysis, in light of the trend toward building very large houses on the relatively
small parcels of open land available. A question was raised regarding the zoning of the
current Badger Sports Club (day camp), with regard to the potential for future residential
construction at the site.
