CALL TO ORDER The meeting was called to order by the Chairman at 8:05 P.M. ROLL CALL Present: Mr. Paul Kalos, Chairman Mrs. Mary Carlson Mr. Anton Schramm Mr. Emil Nicolaysen Mr. Sanford Bell Mrs. Caryl Mahoney Mr. Lester Bliwise Also present: Mr. Lee Hoffman, Jr. , Town Counsel Mr. Gary Trachtman, Engineering Consultant Mrs. Caroline Silverstone, Town Councilwoman Mr. Stephen Altieri, Town Administrator Dr. Alan Mason, Conservation Advisory Committee APPROVAL OF MINUTES On motion made, seconded and carried the minutes of the meeting of December 12, 1984 were accepted as corrected. APPLICATION OF JOSEPH T. MALONEY (BERRINGER PROPERTY) - CONSIDERATION OF DRAFT ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT Mr. Hoffman explained to the Board that the procedure would be for the Board to make a motion to set up a Public Hearing for both the acceptance of the Draft Environmental Impact Statement and the application for the preliminary subdi- vision approval. The reason for doing both at the same time Mr. Hoffman said was because the Town Law sets a time limit for holding a public hearing after a complete pre- liminary subdivision application is filed. The preliminary subdivision application is only complete after the Draft Environmental Impact Statement has been accepted. Mr. Hoffman had prepared a draft Resolution which was read aloud and a motion was then made and seconded with all the members in favor. The following Resolution was adopted: 1. That the Board accept the Draft Environmental Impact Statement prepared for Joseph Maloney by William Morganroth, P.E. , as completed based upon the report of the Consulting Engineer (Gary Trachtman) and upon the review of the Draft En- vironmental Impact Statement by the members of the Planning Board; 2. Direct the Secretary to the Planning Board to give notice of acceptance of the Draft Envi- ronmental Impact Statement to all parties entitled to such notice and set the period for public comment as January 17, 1985 to February 23, 1985 (ten days after the close of the hearing) . 3. Set the date for Public Hearing on the Draft Environmental Impact Statement for Feburary 13, 1985 at 8:00 P.M. at the Weaver Street Firehouse, Weaver Street and Edgewood Avenue, Larchmont, New York. 4. Direct the Secretary to the Planning Board to give notice of Public Hearing on Draft Envi- ronmental Impact Statement to all parties entitled to notice; 5. Set the date for the Public Hearing for Pre- liminary Subdivision for a Preliminary Plat filed on behalf of Joseph Maloney and dated July 23, 1984 for February 13, 1985 and immediately fol- lowing the Hearing on the Draft Environmental Impact Statement. 6. Direct the Secretary of the Planning Board to arrange for publication of the notice. APPLICATION OF GARFIELD HOUSING CORP. - SUBMISSION OF ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT FORM Mr. Kalos turned the meeting over to Mr. Schramm to act as Chairman. The Board had received copies of a long form Environmental Assessment Form on the site plan application to be sub- mitted by Garfield Housing Corp. Mr. Trachtman had also received a copy of the Form. Mr. Hoffman advised the Board that no action could be taken since no formal ap- plication had been presented to the Board. Mr. Sachs, the Attorney for the applicant said that his understanding was that after the last meeting which was a presubmission application they should not present a formal conference until such time as they had prepared the new long assessment form. Mr. Sachs said they under- stood that if the assessment form was acceptable then a formal site plan application could be submitted. Mr. Sachs stated that their Architect had met with Mr. Trach- tman with the hope that what they had prepared for this meeting would have been reviewed and if Mr. Trachtman wanted any additional information it could be submitted. Mr. Schramm pointed out that there had been a change in the procedure and the site plan application would have to be submitted. Mrs. Carlson questioned as to whether when they receive the information it would be a Public Hearing on the SEQR issues. Mr. Hoffman said that the Board would make its decision based on whether it is significant or not significant and that would have bearing on whether a Public Hearing would be necessary or not. Mr. Sachs pointed oit that the Board had not only the assess- • ment form to base their review on but also the previous documents and he hoped that if there was any new technical information or other reports required they would be in- formed prior to their submission. Mr. Trachtman said he would review the form and get in touch with them before the next meeting. Mrs. Carlson requested they take a look at question #5 on the assessment form and said that the pumping station is not adequate to handle the additional load this pro- ject will bring. Dr. Mason pointed out that it is not adequate to handle the conditions that exists now and by adding an additional load it will be worsened. Mr. Sachs said they would address that in their further analy- sis and asked Mr. Trachtman how soon they would be hear- ing from him. Mr. Trachtman said he would do the best he could and it would probably be within a week. !'ADJOURNMENT There being no further business to come before this meet- ing it was adjourned at 9:15 P.M.
