Authorization - Police Pension Fund After explanation by the Supervisor and further clarifications by the Town Administrator, it was unanimously decided to defer the above-captioned matter to the next Town Board meeting of September 5, 1984. 5. Expansion of Planning Board Membership Supervisor Battalia suggested increasing the membership of the Planning Board from five to seven members, as allowed by statute, because of an increased workload re the Site Plan and review and update of the Master Plan. Town Counsel explained that the two (2) new appointees would have terms of six and seven years respectively and that the terms of the present members would remain as is. Future appointments will be for a term of seven years. Councilman Bloom, although absent, voiced his opposition per his memo of May 29, 1984 and requested it be made a part of the minutes of this meeting. Councilman Amlicke stated that he agreed with Councilman Bloom and he was also opposed to this increase. -11- 217 May 28, 1984 From: Lee H. Bloom To: Dolores Battalia Bill Boraczek Tom Amlicke Paul Kalos Larry Lerman Steve Altieri Caroline Silverstone Steve Silverberg Zoning Board and Planning Board • Membership and Terms Supervisor Battalia has suggested increasing the membership of each of these Boards from five to seven members. The enabling statute in each case specifies five members but permits an , increase to seven or a reduction back to five. The Planning Board of the Town of. Mamaroneck originally had seven members but the number was reduced to five after eighteen months as stated in Steve Silverberg's memo of February 7, 1984. The reasons for the Supervisor's suggestion as I understand them are that we forsee a great deal of work for each of these Boards (what with Master Plan Review, Site Planning Review, Joint Planning efforts with the Villages, and various new development projects); and that conflicts often result in less than five members of each Board being present at a regular meeting, whereas a seven member Board might be able to provide at least four or five members for each such meeting. I understand that the chairmen of the two Boards favor the proposal. I am opposed to this suggestion for the following reasons: 1. Members of these important Boards should not be encouraged to feel that it is all right if they are not able to attend all meetings on a regular basis. As quasi-judicial bodies they have important responsibilities. Of course there are occasions when all members cannot attend, but the idea that any five or four out of seven is good enough to handle their business is wholly unacceptable to me. 2. Applicants are entitled, as are opponents, to a decision by a full Board. Indeed it has been the custom the Zoning Board of Appeals to give applicants the option of having a hearing on their application delayed until a full Board can be present. It will be harder to get full attendance from seven than from five. Also the decisions of these Boards should not depend on which four out of seven are present. This is much more likely to be the case with a seven member Board than a five member board 3. For the Planning Board the enabling law requires seven year terms if there are seven members. Although we have regularly reappointed able members of these Boards after five year terms, seven is an unduly long time before the Town Board can deal with an unsatisfactory situation. 4. Such matters as the Master Plan Review and the Joint Planning efforts can and should be dealt with through joint committees made up of members of both Boards as well as the Town Board and with the help of ad hoc:.. panels of interested and experienced citizens. They do not justify changing the basic structure of these quasi-judicial Boards. -12-. 218 5. Studies in organization theory and practice favor smaller rather than larger decision making bodies. Five is an ideal number. Seven is bordering on a difficult structure. Incidentally Steve Silverberg's memo mentions that he was advised that the Rules and Regulations of the Planning Board did not exist. I have provided him with a copy. The III regulations for subdivision plat approvals are included in the Code of the Town of Mamaroneck as an appendix following the Zoning Ordinance. ® (end of Lee Bloom's memo) Councilwoman Silverstone noted the vast and tremendous tasks ahead and felt longer terms make for better continuity and stated that she heartily concurs on an increase. Thereafter, upon motion by Councilwoman Silverstone and seconded by Councilman Lerman with Councilman Amlicke opposing, it was decided that WHEREAS, the Town Board by passage of local law has granted significant additional duties to the Planning Board; and WHEREAS, the work load of the Planning Board shall therefore be significantly increased; III and WHEREAS, the Town Laws of the State of New York grants authority to increase the size of the Planning Board from five (5) members to seven (7) members; and WHEREAS, it is felt that the efficient operation of the Planning Board will be enhanced by a larger membership; NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, that the Planning Board of the Town of Mamaroneck is increased from five (5) members to seven (7) members. Supervisor Battalia then explained that with an increase in membership on the Planning Board in mind, Councilwoman Silverstone has been interviewing perspective applicants. Thereafter, on motion by Councilwoman Silverstone, seconded by Councilman Lerman with Councilman Amlicke abstaining, it was decided that III WHEREAS, the Town Board has increased the membership of the Planning Board from five (5) to seven (7) members; NOW, THEREFORE BE IT -13-. 2i9 RESOLVED, that Sanford A. Bell of 11 Maple Hill Drive, Town, is appointed as a member of the Planning Board to serve for a period of seven (7) years commencing August 8, 1984; and be it further RESOLVED, that Caryl B. Mahoney of 6 Vine Road, Town, is appointed as a member of the Planning Board to serve for a period of six (6) years commencing August 8, 1984.
