This item is adjourned until the next regularly scheduled meeting on January 28, 2003. b. Consistency Review—Floating Dock Reconfiguration—Larchmont Yacht Club— 1 Woodbine Avenue,Larchmont Referred by the NYS Department of State Coastal Resources Program Larchmont Yacht Club is proposing to add additional docks and modify the arrangement of the existing docks. The Yacht Club would like to eliminate the need for storage racks on the docks and improve safety for the Junior Sailors. Several residents from Cedar Island were present. They expressed several concerns: l • Safety -making sure the boats were properly tied down when not in use, {v Lighting—that there be no lights on the proposed docks, • , avigation—that the docks did not interfere with navigation, • Visual —the tender dock, which would be used for storing rubber rafts, may be unattractive. Three members of CZMC did not vote on this proposal due to a conflict of interest. CZMC finds the proposed installation of six(6) 20' x 20' docks, a 20' x 12' dock in both the proposed and alternate location, and the 20' x 10' transitory float to be consistent with the policies set forth in the LWRP. CZMC bases this finding on the agreement that the applicant • will not place boat storage racks on the six (6)proposed 20' x 20' docks, will not use lighting on any of the docks, and ensures that the boats are properly tied down when not in use. CZMC has requested to view the location of the proposed 55' x 10' tender dock during a site visit prior to making a determination of consistency on that dock. 3. Open Space Inventory Update Kate Dehais gave an update on the Open Space inventory. She distributed the remaining packages to CZMC members to be investigated. These parcels will be assigned to those members who have visited the properties or know the owners personally. In addition, we have aerial photographs available. 4. Old Business a. Hampshire Country Club The Town of Mamaroneck Planning Board approved the Hampshire Country Club proposal at its last meeting. Although CZMC found the Hampshire Country Club proposal to be inconsistent with the policies in the LWRP,the installation of a stormwater detention facility and the planting of native wetland plants could mitigate any potential impacts created by the proposed action. The Town of Mamaroneck Planning Board accepted CZMC's recommendations, however, since CZMC did not state that the proposed action was substantially inconsistent with the LWRP, the Planning Board was not required to send CZMC a letter. • CZMC- 11/26/02,Page 2 of 3 Revised 1/30/2003 b. Proposed Wetlands Law The proposed wetlands law had been reviewed by the Town Board during a work session. The Board had some comments on the law and planned to give any additional comments to CZMC. CZMC should ask the Board for a second consideration in January. c. Forest City Daly Forest City Daly is currently preparing their Draft EIS based on the scope that was given to them. CZMC will be notified when this is completed. 5. New Business a.
