1. Approval of Minutes
The minutes of November 26, 2002 were accepted as submitted.
2. Referrals
a. Freshwater Wetlands and Watercourses Permit—4 Adrian Circle—Block 307,
Lot 73
Referred by the Town of Mamaroneck Planning Board
James Miller,the Architect for the Applicant presented the proposal to build an addition to
the rear of the house,which would be located within the wetlands buffer zone. Mr. Miller
explained that since the proposed addition was less than 100 square feet, a dry well was not
required. He proposed connecting the roof leaders to an existing drainage pipe but was not
sure where this drained. It is likely that this line connects to an existing dry well or carries
stormwater to the stream in front of the property.

•
CZMC finds the proposed action not inconsistent with the policies set forth in the LWRP. •
Although the proposed addition is less than 100 square feet, CZMC would have preferred
the use of a dry well to control the increased runoff from the site since the proposed action is
located in a wetlands buffer zone. The applicant has agreed to modify the proposed plans by
installing splash blocks, orienting these to direct the runoff to gravel placed under the
addition, and removing the vapor barrier that was specified for placement beneath this
gravel.
b. Site Plan Amendment/Freshwater Wetlands and Watercourses Permit—Winged Foot
Golf Club—Creation of Tee Area—851 Fenimore Road - Block 347, Lot 1
Referred by the Town of Mamaroneck Planning Board
Winged Foot Golf Club has not submitted plans for their proposal to CZMC, the Town of
Mamaroneck Planning Board or the Town's Building Department at this time. This item is
adjourned until the next regularly scheduled meeting on February 25, 2003.
3. Open Space Inventory Update
Kate Dehais gave an update on the Open Space inventory. She presented a draft of the open
space map, indicating the locations of the parcels on the inventory. CZMC discussed the format
for the report on open space that will be prepared. A subcommittee will meet to complete the
parcel review and collect any additional data needed.
4. Phase II Stormwater Regulations •
The Town of Mamaroneck is preparing a Notice of Intent (NOI)to obtain a SPDES permit for
stormwater discharges, which is due on March 10, 2003. Elizabeth Paul, the Environmental
Coordinator is preparing a draft of the NOI and will send it to members of CZMC for their review
and comment before the next meeting.
5. Old Business
a. Special Meetings
Both the Town of Mamaroneck and the Village of Larchmont have approved CZMC's
request to hold special meetings.
b. Larchmont Yacht Club—Cedar Island Visit
Larchmont Yacht Club has amended their application to New York State by removing
the tender dock in response to the requests of its neighbors on Cedar Island.
5. New Business
a. Road Salt Use
Frank Buddingh discussed the potential impacts of excessive road salt use on trees and
vegetation. He agreed to look into the potential impacts on water quality in freshwater
streams and alternative products. •
b. Alternating Meetings with Village of Larchmont
CZMC—1/28/03, Page 2 of 3 Revised 2/26/2003
It was suggested that CZMC alternate its meeting locations between the Town of
Mamaroneck and the Village of Larchmont. Marc Godick will check the availability of
a meeting place at the Village of Larchmont.
c. Liaison Assignments
Kate Dehais will now be the Liaison to the Village of Larchmont Planning Board and
Dickson Brown will be the Liaison to the Town Planning Board. Elizabeth Paul will
notify Eileen Finn and Marguerite Roma of these changes and request to have the
Village Zoning Board agendas mailed to Lili Andrews.
d. Flint Park
Several CZMC members attended a meeting on the proposed renovations to Flint Park.
CZMC has concerns with the proposal because the Park is part of a Critical
Environmental Area and contains wetlands. A letter will be sent to Mayor Ken Bialo
requesting that CZMC be included in the review process.
The meeting was adjourned at 9:40 p.m.
The next scheduled CZMC meeting will be held on February 25,2003. Anyone unable to attend this
