This discussion will be continued at the next meeting when more members are present. a. Tree Permit Review Applications for the removal of non-hazardous trees will be referred to CZMC for review because this activity is considered an unlisted action under the Town's Environmental Quality Review Act. It was noted that if the application for 74 Landsdowne Drive did not involve the removal of trees, the proposal would not have required CZMC review. Applications for projects that involve the importation of a significant amount of fill should be reviewed by CZMC. b. Waterfront Revitalization Law The Town's Waterfront Revitalization Law requires applicants to submit a Coastal Assessment Form. Elizabeth Paul,the Town's Environmental Coordinator is requesting that CZMC review whether this form is duplicative and unnecessary because applicants are required to prepare an Environmental Assessment Form. c. Environmental Quality Review Law Judith Gallent, the attorney for the Town of Mamaroneck Planning Board requested that CZMC review the Town's Environmental Quality Review Law(MEQR). Section 92-3 currently states: "The procedures of 6 NYCRR 617.4 shall be amended in that the last sentence of 617.4(h) shall state: "Any unlisted action located partly or wholly inside or substantially contiguous to a CEA must be treated as a Type I action by an involved agency.' This section is no longer valid because Section 617.4(h) of SEQR was eliminated when SEQR was amended in 1995. If the Town-:.could like to require aii unlisted act uns in or contiguous to a CEA to be treated as a Type I action, an amendment to MEQR will be required. The meeting was adjourned at 8:45 p.m. The next scheduled CZMC meeting will be held on March 22, 2004 at the Mamaroneck Town Center, 740 West Boston Post Road,2"d Floor, Conference Room A.
