PUBLIC HEARINGS -Amendment to Waterfront Revitalization Law
- Request for Exemption From Food Related Business Moratorium
NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING
PLEASE TAKE NOTICE, that a Public Hearing will be held by the Town Board of the Town
of Mamaroneck on Wednesday, January 21, 1998 at 8:15 PM or as soon thereafter as is
possible in the Court Room of the Town Center, 740 W. Boston Post Road, Mamaroneck,
New York to consider the adoption of a proposed Local Law entitled "Amendment to the
Waterfront Revitalization Law(Chapter 234), Consistency Law."
The purpose of the Local Law is to amend Chapter 234 of the Town of Mamaroneck
Waterfront Revitalization Law by recognizing modifications to the State Environmental
Quality Review Act and the need to modify this Consistency law in view of these changes.
Councilwoman Wittner explained that the current law regarding referrals to the Coastal
Zone Management Commission for consistency were rather cumbersome and this
amendment would remove certain consistencies from the process. This was being done
in response to advice from the Department of State. She added that a question raised by
Paul Ryan at the last Board meeting concerning item (gg) in the proposed amendment had
prompted another discussion with the Department of State and she was then advised that
items (dd) through and including (gg) appearing in that amendment should be omitted
because they only apply to the State. They also advised clarifying the definition of
"Advisory Opinion."
Councilman Ryan asked if advisory opinions from surrounding communities would
change. Councilwoman Wittner replied that there was no change to that aspect.
On motion of Councilman Ryan, seconded by Councilwoman Wittner, the public hearing
was opened.
Supervisor Price stated that the name "local waterfront" was a misnomer, as this law
actually addressed all the land use problems in the Town that are generated because the
Town was at the bottom of a watershed area. The Town therefore needs the jurisdiction to
protect our waterfront. She said that the Coastal Zone Management Commission has
been given broad powers, those powers helped to stop David's Island from being over-
developed. Local communities should give these laws periodic review, which is what we
are doing tonight and that the Town had been given significant grant monies because we
do take it so seriously.
Councilwoman Wittner added that the Department of State sends to the Town items to
review which the CZMC has commented on in the past.
The Supervisor asked if anyone wished to speak in favor of or against the amendment.
Nancy Seligson, from the CZMC, said that she was here to support the amendment and
that Councilwoman Wittner should be thanked for crafting the changes, which is no easy
matter. She said that she had spoken to State Senator Suzi Oppenheimer concerning
earmarking more funds towards environmental groups, but had been told by Suzi that the
funding level is extremely low. She said that they thought by stirring up the State it
might in turn help to rally the EPA and NOAA.

Public Hearing - Request for Exemption From Food Related Business Moratorium
2423 Boston Post Road, Larchmont
The Town Administrator said that in October of 1997, Mr. George Poline appeared before
the Board to request a hardship exemption from the food related business moratorium for
the above referenced address. At that time Mr. Poline did not have a tenant for his store
and there was therefore no hardship. The Town Board adjourned the hearing in October
and since he now has a tenant , he is applying for the exemption.
PUBLIC NOTICE
PLEASE TAKE NOTICE, that the Town Board of the Town of Mamaroneck will hold a
Public Hearing on Wednesday, October 8, 1997 at 8:15 PM or as soon thereafter as is
possible in the Court Room of the Town Center to consider a request for a variation of the
Moratorium on Food Related Retail Uses based on Section 8 Hardship provision of the .
Moratorium. Said application is on behalf of Chinese Take Out Restaurant, 2423 Boston
Post Road, Larchmont, New York.
The Supervisor read the following letter from Mr. Poline into the record:
I own the property as well as all the restaurant equipment in the
Chinese Take Out restaurant located at 2423 Boston Post Road,
Larchmont, New York.
The restaurant has not been in use since February 1,1997. 1 had a
prospect for renting the restaurant but with a moratorium, this would
not only prevent me from renting but also selling the business. In
order for the equipment to be removed(giant walk in refrigerator
system) the front of the store would have to be taken down.
This is a prior non-conforming business. The new proposed local law
would cause extreme hardship in my case. If I lost the rent from the
store I would be running at a loss concerning the upkeep of the
building. My taxes are presently$13, 547.00 per year not to mention
insurance, repairs, heat, electric, etc. I have an apartment upstairs
5
January 21, 1998
bringing in $725.00 per month.
I am asking for a variation from the compliance with the local law. I am
also requesting a public hearing at your earliest convenience, as
required by the moratorium law.
Thank you very much for your consideration in the above matter.
Respectfully Yours,
GEORGE POLINE
The Supervisor read another letter sent by Mr. Poline:
As you will remember, I appeared before the Town Board on October 8, 1997
an my request for a Section 8 hardship variation of the moratorium on food
related retail uses at the Public Hearing was postponed because I did not
have a specific tenant. Mr. Tanagak Trisophon will be my tenant and will
open a Japanese-Thai take-out restaurant.
I therefore request a variance from the current moratorium.
Very truly yours,
GEORGE POLINE
Mr. Poline was introduced and the Town Attorney asked him the following:
Will there be the same cooking facilities? A: Yes
Is the lease signed? A: Yes
Is it the same type of lease? A: Yes

2. Authorization - Conservation Easement Laurel Manor Subdivision
The Administrator reported that during the review of the Laurel Manor Subdivision a
concern was raised about the wetlands on the property and how the wetlands would be
protected. As part of the subdivision review, the Coastal Zone Commission along with
staff recommended the establishment of a conservation easement to protect the wetlands.
The easement area would also serve as the primary storm drainage basin for the
subdivision. He said that this conservation easement was made a condition of the
subdivision approval and that in addition Town Board approval is required since the
Town will have certain responsibilities for the easement area. Under the terms of the
easement, the owners of the property cannot alter the water courses, marshes, trees and
shrubs in the easement area. There may be no dumping of any type in the easement area
and there can also be no construction in the easement. The Town will be the enforcing
agent for the easement agreement. A resolution is required of the Town Board to approve
the easement agreement.
On motion of Councilman Ryan, seconded by Councilwoman Wittner, it was unanimously,
RESOLVED, that the Town Board does hereby authorize the
Easement Agreement for the Laurel Manor Subdivision with the
proviso that all conditions set by the Planning Board are met

January 21, 1998
The Administrator said that on December 17, 1997 the Town publicly opened and read
bids for the addition at the Hommocks Ice Rink. The contract calls for the construction of
an 1,800 sq. ft.. addition to the ice rink that would house two locker rooms, a garage for
the second Zamboni, and storage space. Bids were received from fourteen contractors
The bids were divided into contracts for general construction, electric, plumbing and
heating. The total costs for the addition ranged from $140,000 to $304,000. Bids were
reviewed by the project architect and staff of the Building and Recreation Departments.
Our consensus is that these prices are high and that an alternative structure should be
considered. One alternative being evaluated is the use of a prefabricated building that
would be placed on the site. Therefore the recommendation is that all bids for Contract
#97-7 be rejected since they exceed our cost estimates for the project.
Following discussion, on motion of Councilman Weprin, seconded by Councilman Ryan, it
was unanimously,
RESOLVED, that the Town Board does hereby reject all bids that
were submitted for the addition to the Hommocks Ice Rink, as
they all exceeded the expected costs.

in two payments, the first of which has been received in the amount of$75,000. A
resolution must be adopted to amend the project budget to reflect the payment.
On motion of Councilwoman Wittner, seconded by Councilwoman O'Keeffe, it was
unanimously,
RESOLVED, that the Town Board does hereby amend Capital
Project-97-3, renovation to Hommocks Field to reflect a
reimbursement of costs from the School District for the total
amount of$125,000.

The Administrator explained that the 1998 Town Budget includes an appropriation of
funds to provide for the position of Ambulance District Administrator to be converted
from a part time position to a full time position. As the requirements for the billing of
patients and the supervision of personnel become more demanding, a full time district
administrator will better fill our needs. The annual salary for the position will be $54,000
and the position has been structured in a way that will provide more full time management
at the least possible cost. As a full time position, the district administrator will also serve
as a working paramedic two days per week, in this way the position was funded in part by
eliminating 784 hours of paramedic service at a savings of$13,000. He said authorization
is requested to execute the employment agreement.
