Approval of Minutes The minutes of the April 25, 2000 meeting were reviewed and approved. 2. 10 Evergreen, Mamaroneck,NY Lili Andrews reported that the owner was seeking site plan approval for development of the property. The lot has been previously approved by the Planning Board as a"buildable lot". This project was previously presented to the Commission for review.

Report on Work Session on Wetlands Law Marc Godick indicated that the session was very productive and the law was generally well received by the TOM and VOL. The TOM and VOL expressed concern regarding the financial and administrative burden (time) to both the Town/Village, as well as the applicants. During the meeting of May 23, 2000, the Commission agreed that by devising a"general permit" for nominal size decks, many permits would not necessarily need to be reviewed. The following suggestions were discussed for such a permit. If the applicant could not meet these criteria, then a full wetlands permit would be required Administrative information will be ascertained by using the simple one-page form to be developed by the CZMC. The aerial size of the deck shall be no greater than 300 square feet. The closest edge of the proposed deck shall not encroach within 25 feet of the delineated wetland. Planks of the deck shall be separated by no less than 1/8-inch apart to allow surface water to drain through the deck. Notwithstanding, there shall be no other design features on the underside of the deck system which would compromise drainage through the structure. The underlying ground surface shall be covered with crushed stone or gravel to minimize the potential of sediment runoff No paving, lining, or other materials shall be placed on the ground surface under and around the deck which would otherwise reduce the permeability or drainage in and/or around the proposed structure. Implementation of adequate sediment and erosion controls during construction of the deck. Future expansion or modification of the deck, exclusive of repairs or maintenance, shall be strictly prohibited. The Commission agreed that incorporation of the general permit into the proposed wetland law should be discussed with Judith Gallant(TOM-Attorney). 4.
