PUBLIC HEARING - Request for Variance of Local Law #3-1990 - Winged Foot Golf Club Town Counsel, Steven Silverberg, explained the provisions of Local Law #3-1990 - The Limited Development Moratorium, noting that this type of moratorium is a recognized basis by which municipalities maintain a status quo while undertaking major studies. He added that there is, however, a provision in Section 10, entitling a property owner affected in a way that creates unnecessary hardship, to a variance. He concluded that the application presented tonight is for a determination of whether there is hardship, so the applicant may apply to the Planning Board for site plan approval. Supervisor Silverstone asked for a motion to open the Public Hearing, and on motion by Councilwoman Price, seconded by Councilman McGarr, it was unanimously RESOLVED, that the Public Hearing be, and hereby is declared open. William Maker, Attorney for Winged Foot Golf Club, spoke on its behalf, noting that relief from the moratorium is not an approval of the application which will still have to go through stringent site plan review procedures before the Planning Board, with all issues; Proper Planning, environmental concerns, drainage, etc., being discussed at great depth by that Board. He requested that the record include his letter of July 10th and the enclosures contained in it, his letter to the Town Board on August 30th, and the full environmental assessment form filed at that time, as well as material and maps presented tonight by the architects. He went on to say that the presentation will be brief, and will consist of three people, Mr. Edward O'Reilly, President of Winged Foot Golf Club, and Architects, Mr. Peter G. Rolland and Mr. Brian Bates. He then gave a contrast between the purpose of the moratorium and what Winged Foot is trying to do. 4 372 September 5, 1990 Edward O'Reilly spoke regarding the purpose and need for the improved practice fairway, noting that golf is the primary function of the Club, that this procedure had begin in Spring of 1988, and that the key issue is the feasibility to increase the size of the teeing area by 400 to 500% and add substantial length to the practice range, which would occur if they relocated a continuous parking lot and fenced in about a 100 yard portion of the driveway. He went on to say that this is feasible and viable by adding to the size of another parking lot on the premises and by improved functionality from the increase in the new parking areas, all of which in no way conflict with the purpose of the moratorium. Peter Rolland of Rolland/Powers Site Planners and Landscape Architects, spoke of his involvement in coordinating this project since 1989, told how all preparation had begun long before that, explained the studies undertaken on the grounds and trees, and about the effect of removal of an existing 130 car parking lot. He pointed out that to improve the fairway would entail relocating the entrance road, relocating 130 parking spots, minimimizing the effect on trees by saving or relocating them, and removing overhead utility lines which presently exist within that area. Brian Bates, the project architect for Rolland/Powers since August 1989, then reviewed with the Board the drawings and plans, step by step, and fielded questions from the Board, together with Bill Maker. The Supervisor then asked if anyone wished to speak in opposition to the request by Winged Foot for a variance from the moratorium. Richard J. Leahy, an attorney and member of Winged Foot, had been asked to speak for The Committe For Evaluation of Winged Foot Capital Projects. Supervisor Silverstone cmmented that the Board had received a letter in opposition from the Ccumitte, which would be included for the record. Mr. Leahy went on to say that before presenting a loyal opposition, he wished to state that they are indeed proud of the their President and Board for the labor they have performed in trying to solve this problem. He stated further that 48.4% do not agree with the project and he would like to present the reasons why the Board should not grant the variance. He noted that in presenting plans a beautiful practice area is shown, but the left side of the practice area is to the right of the tee on the 1st tee west and the practice area on the right is on the border of the 9th. tee east. He then called on Warner Pyne to expound further on why the variance should not be granted. Warner Pyne of Oakdale Road stated that there is a dispute in the parking, a well respected construction engineer contests the amount, saying that the plan is 42 spaces short. He noted the most sensitive issue is that of drainage due, to a large extent, to transplanting of trees. He felt more studies were needed. At this time, former Town Supervisor, and former Mayor of Larchmant, Leo Goldsmith spoke enquote: "In your very good judgement, you decided that you wanted to have a period of time for you to consider the direction which will be taken with respect to the golf properties within the town and, therefore, you placed a moratorium upon construction on such properties. You want to give yourself time to came to certain conclusions with respect to future ordinances or regulations that might challenge that direction. You have now been asked to abdicate that right and to say 'we'll pass over that step, go on to the next step, and well give over that right to use that 5 37.1 September 5, 1990 time to give consideration to the things that we were going to take into consideration.' It is perfetly true that if they were to Proceed further, they would have to appeal and make applictions to other Boards, but at that time they would be able to say to this Board, 'you Passed by your opportunity to consider and determine, and to pass ordinances and regulations toward the general direction that should be taken with respect to those properties, now we go to someone else.' If you do, you will have given up the reason for Passing the moratorium in the first place, and you will have given up your opportunity, in your very good judgement, to determine the future direction of these properties for the benefit of the total communities.11 James Morley of Willow Avenue stated that having come through seventy years with the current driving range, he felt that six months more would not create a great deal of hardship. Jim Ryan and Barbara Bloom of Carriage House Lane, Frank Peal, Steve Rosen, Mel Berning, Frank Pia and Daniel Greenbaum of Boulder Brae, William Altman of Dudley Lane, Fred Powers of Poccia Circle, and Joan Williams of Summit Avenue were all in opposition. Dr. Alan Mason mentioned his concern about the hydrological studies and the effects during heavy rains, of drainage on the Sheldrake and the Duck Pond, adding that he is not comfortably reassured and hopes the Board will not grant the variance. The Supervisor asked if there were any further questions from anyone or from any of the Board. Some discussion followed. The following letter was included as part of the record: The undersigned are regular members of Winged Foot Golf Club and, as a committee, represent a substantial portion of all such members. This letter is to oonment upon the application by Winged Foot Golf Club to the Mamaroneck Town Council for a waiver of the one-year moratorium on construction at golf clubs within the Town. We oppose the waiver application at this time for a number of reasons. First, we believe that it is important for the Town to complete its GEIS studies relative to golf courses in Mamaroneck before any construction (especially involving parking relocations, drainage modifications, electrical installation relocation) is permitted. It is advisable that the results of these studies be coordinated, through the Planning Board, with plans for future construction at Winged Foot or other golf clubs. The possibility of premature construction should be avoided until the GEIS and related studies are completed and evaluated, and it seems unlikely that this can be accomplished, in any event, before normal expirtion of the moratorium. Therefore, a waiver would not be needed, and granting one at this time does not serve an immediate purpose. Second, we are concerned about proposed condominium construction at Bonnie Briar, and believe that inclusion of Winged Foot in the moratorium helps void inferences of discrimination against the owners of Bonnie Briar. A waiver of the moratorium at Winged Foot, however innocuous by itself, may adversely affect the position that discrimination against Bonnie Briar is not present. Third, many members believe that Winged Foot's capital improvement plans for the next five years, especially with 6 September 5, 1990 374 regard to the proposed driving range and parking lot modifications, need further consideration by the hip. For example, many members are concerned about the loss of a number of beautiful trees inherent in the range/parking modification proposal (over fifty trees are estimated for removal) . A special meeting of members has been requested, under the Winged Foot bylaws, to evaluate, and to approve or disapprove, the driving range/parking proposals. This may involve coordination with property owners adjacent to Winged Foot, some of whom (we understand) have questions about the present proposal. Such meetings and studies should be scheduled for this fall, and granting of a construction moratorium waiver at this time would be premature. We request, therefore, that the requested construction moratorium waiver not be granted, with Winged Foot Golf Club reserving the right to reapply, if necessary, at an appropriate future time.
