Elfreich, Town Engineer Patrick Thomas Leddy, Highway Superintendent Deputy Supervisor Bloom at this time pointed out to those assembled the location of the exits as required by law for public gatherings. ADJOURNED PUBLIC HEARING: Water District #1 Improvements Deputy Supervisor Bloom announced that the public hearing cannot be held tonight since it is required that four members: of the Board be present to vote, thereupon on motion by Councilman Amlicke, seconded by Councilwoman Silverstone, it was unanimously RESOLVED, that this Board hereby adjourns the public hearing relative to Water District #1 Improvements until the next regular meeting of this Board to be held on April 21, 1982. ADJOURNED PUBLIC HEARING: Special Permit Application - Proposed Nursery School - Larchmont Acres Following Mr.. Bloom's query, it was noted by Richard Clifford, Attorney representing Samson Management Corp. that the Applicant was prepared to go forward with the Hearing even though Councilman McMillan and Supervisor Goldsmith were both ill and only three members of the Board were present. Thereupon, on motion by -Councilwoman Silverstone, seconded by Councilman Amlicke, it was unanimously RESOLVED, that the public hearing be and it hereby is declared open. -1- 082 Deputy Supervisor Bloom stated some time has passed since the original submission of this application and reviewed and updated the proposal. Mr. Clifford gave an elaborate description of the proposal noting that two apartments would be converted to a .nursery school and that the plan is to offer morning and afternoon sessions for 22 through 5 year old youngsters from 9:00 A.M. to 4:00 P.M. with fifteen (15) children in each session and staffed by two certified teachers and one aide. In answer to a question, it was noted that 621A and 621B were the apartments to be converted. Arnold Goldstein, Owner of Samson Management Corp. , further clarified the project stating the,..proposed fee schedule and described his reasons for proposing such a program including his assumption that 90% of pupils would be from Larchmont Acres complex although he admitted a survey had not been conducted, bu.t was based on the complex population. At this time Deputy Supervisor Bloom entered into the record the June 17, 1981 memorandum of. the Town Planning Board recommending approval of the application on the condition that review is made at least once every 18 months; the September 8, 1981 letter from Westchester County Department of Planning noting the need to provide for pick up/drop off zone for those outside of the apartment complex using the facility; and a letter from Kathleen E. Kopa, an Acres tenant, expressing her opposition to the propo- sal. Councilman Amlicke asked how the figure of 15 was arrived at and Mr. Goldstein answered that this project was being patterned after a similar successful program on Long Island operating out of another building he owns. Councilwoman Silverstone stated that this proposal could provide a service to working parents which is a paramount need in this community, but does not coincide with their needs which are for 7:00 A.M. to 6:00 P.M. and asked for an explanation of the difference between day care center and nursery school since this project has been referred to as both, causing some confusion. Richard Clifford emphasized the application is only for a nursery school. During the discussion Councilman Amlicke asked Mr. Goldstein how the in- Creased traffic will be handled as well as pick up/drop off area. Mr. Goldstein answered that consideration is being given to a change in the makeup of the parking lot to accommodate such needs. Mr. Bloom asked why not leave the apartments as dwellings with the critical parking and multi- housing shortages. Mr. Goldstein answered that he thought it would benefit the tenants and was totally surprised:-at the objections. At this time Leonard Martin, tenant of Larchmont Acres, addressed the Board and enumerated the names of day care centers and nursery schools in this area, pointing out that there is no need for another; noted that he had conducted a survey throughout the apartment complex and found only three families interested in the proposed nursery school; spoke in oppo- sition to all points made by the Applicant and his Attorney and also spoke of the fears on the part of the tenants he had spoken to about-safety relative to increased traffic, parking and noise. Don Brown, Larchmont Acres tenant, emphasized the apartment vacancy rate in this area and the need to add apartments and not take away and questioned Mr. Goldstein about this proposal providing employment for his daughter. Mr. Goldstein answered that it should not be implied as his .reason for submitting the proposal, but it would be a possibility that his daughter would be employed in the nursery school. Pat O'Donnell, Larchmont Acres tenant, spoke about the problems of access to the complex by persons dropping off or picking up children and who is to be responsible for children notpicked up on time or dropped off too early. The Applicant stated that he does not envision children roaming -2- t'63 • about the complex and the lease to the operators of the nursery school will contain a section regarding that matter. Sid Kelter, another Larchmont Acres tenant, noted that he has lived:there for twenty (20) years and felt the tenants' rents would be raised to finance this project and to convert the area back to apartments if the proposal should fail. Judy Martin, tenant of Larchmont Acres, voiced her concern for the safety of ingress and egress of the building by children, noise problems and sound- proofing and the use of the playground area by the proposed nursery school, emphasizing the small playground now on the premises. Mr. Goldstein an- swered that the anticipated use of the playground is to be one half hour each session and does not think there will be a conflict. Mrs. Martin also strongly objected to valuable parking spaces being taken away. Marian Renta, Acres tenant, asked that consideration be given to the senior citizens in the complex many of whom are confined and noted the noise would create problems for:them. Mike Caballero, tenant of Larchmont Acres, further reiterated the question of entrance and exiting by the chidren and the matter of security since it is possible for someone to come in behind the children making the security doors no longer protective. Mr. Goldstein noted that provision is to be made to handle that situation with staff personally letting in the pupils, and consideration is being given to entrance to the nursery school being made through the rear of the building. Elaine Samuels, Director of Town/Village Community Services, noted that the proposal could be good for the area if the objections that have been raised could be overcome. She noted further her concern for the single parent families and the two paycheck families who would need this kind of service if more geared. to the day care center type. Objections wert.e raised relative to Mrs. Samuel's statement mainly in re- lation to traffic and parking. It was pointed out to the Applicant that perhaps because he does not live in the complex as many of the tenants present tonight, he may not be aware of the various problems in the vicinity of the apartments and referred to the Boston Post Road conditions and the tenants access to the complex and parking by of the.nearby shopping center. Mrs. O'Donnell advised. the Board about parents of Central School students dropping them off at the apartment complex to cut through that property as a short cut to school and the dangers involved in that situation. Mr. Goldstein noted his disappointment at the negative emphasis on his pro- posal and toward the failure of the project and re-emphasized his willing- ness to be considerate and desire to go forth with this proposal, provided this Board approves his application. Leonard Martin speaking to Mr. Goldstein's proposal to have entrance gained through the rear of the building, noted that people will do what is most convenient and using the rear entrance will be quite inconvenient. Mrs. Doris Whitehurst, tenant on first floor of Building #6, noted she has lived there for more than 25 years and is afraid she will be quite seri- ously affected by the noise. Mr. Goldstein assured the Board that soundproofing will be done for a min- imum of disturbance and will build into the lease provisions for entering and exiting by the pupils. The discussion continued with numerous objections from the tenants of Larchmont Acres, most of which had already been stated. -3- 064 At this time, on motion by Councilwoman Silverstone, seconded by Councilman Amlicke, it was unanimously RESOLVED, that the public hearing be and it hereby is declared closed. The Town Clerk advised the Board members that the hearing had been taped and could be played for the absent members benefit and the Town III Attorney noted that they could listen and acquaint themselves, but would probably decline to vote since they had no opportunity to ask questions. Upon Deputy Supervisor Bloom's query of the Board's pleasure on this matter, Councilman Amlicke stated his desire to reserve decision in order to speak further with the Planning Board and Councilwoman Silverstone agreed noting her need to know their reason for the 18 month review. Mr. Bloom noted that special permits can be granted with special conditions and limitations. Councilman Amlicke further stated that he had heard many good reasons tonight for denial, and again reiterated his wish to review the proposal further with the Planning 'Board. Councilwoman Silverstone stated she would be inclined to vote in favor of the proposal if it were more geared to a day care center and felt she need- ed more time to think about the proposal. Thereupon, on motion by Councilman Amlicke, seconded by Councilwoman Silverstone, it was unanimously RESOLVED, that this Board hereby reserves decision on the Special Permit Application for a Proposed Nursery School at Larchmont Acres until the next regular meeting of the III Town Board on April 21, 1982. Deputy Supervisor Bloom thanked everyone for participating in the Public Hearing and stated he appreciated their views, noting further that careful consideration will be given to the proposal. Not on Agenda Mr. Bloom announced that Supervisor Goldsmith was released from the hospital today. APPROVAL MINUTES The minutes of the regular meeting of December 2, 1981 were deferred to the next meeting since there was not a quorum of those present at that meeting in attendance tonight to take action on said set of minutes. The minutes of the regular meeting of February 10, 1982 were presented and on motion by Councilman Amlicke, seconded by Councilwoman Silverstone, who noted the minutes were well written, unanimously approved with cor- rections. OLD BUSINESS 1. Update - Town Administrator Deputy Supervisor Bloom reviewed the matter and stated that 14 letters had been sent to applicants with 7 responses thus far with one new appli- cant, noting further that 4 were from a considerable distance. He also stated that he has spoken to all interested applicants and asked that dates be set for Executive Sessions in order to conduct interviews for the position of Town Administrator. -4- 065 At this time on motion by Councilwoman Silverstone, seconded by Councilman Amlicke, it was unanimously RESOLVED, that this Board hereby sets April 3rd (Saturday) and April 8th (Thursday) as the dates to conduct interviews during Ex- ecutive Sessions at times convenient to the applicants and the Board members conducting III the interviews. Not on Agenda Mr. Bloom spoke of his call to the District Attorney's Office relative to the Police Matter. He stated that it was explained that the inves- tigation is continuing and that a particular bank has not provided that office with the backup material requested and now that the material has been subpoened, the investigation can move along and was assured that a total disclosure to the public will be made upon completion of the inves- tigation. 2. Authorization - Deputy Supervisor - Letter to D.O.T. - Weaver Street. and Boston Post Road. It was noted that there was no action necessary in order for the Deputy Supervisor to sign a letter drafted by Mrs. Silverstone requesting allo- cation of federal funds and high priority be given to the changes at the above mentioned intersection. III 3. Authorization - Solicit Proposals - Exterior Painting of Police Headquarters. Following presentation of the Engineer's memorandum, the question of why informal bids were to be taken and the Engineer answered that formal bids would cost more since bonds would be involved and noted also that they should come in under $5,000.00 and that he would try to get at least six bids. Since police headquarters was the topic, Councilwoman Silverstone addressed the matter of an unexpected item that had come to attention by OSHA who has insisted that an outside stairway be built in conformity with safety stan- dards, thus causing the outside painting to be delayed. Councilman Amlicke asked if this must be done even if the department would possibly be moving to another location and Mrs. Silverstone reiterated OSHA's recommendations. Some discussion followed regarding the penalty for non-compliance and time element involved. It was then noted that since the Police Chief and Comptroller's Office were already working together relative to correcting deficiencies and several of the violations had been corrected in a short period of time, all projects relative to police headquarters should be con- sidered together and the Engineer is to join with the Chief and Comptroller to work on the problems and their solutions and bring back to the Board a report of proposed costs. III4. Discussion - Parking Lot #1 - Myrtle Boulevard The Town Engineer's memorandum describing the lot, a plan for rearrange- ment and the approximate number of spaces was prasented and Councilwoman Silverstone stated that she has been riding around the parking lot and working with the Town Clerk and both feel changes are now due to obtain -5- 066 the best utilization of the lot with the thought in mind to increase the fees. She further noted that the Town should be very careful about shutting out non-residents who should be allowed to use the lot. Deputy Supervisor Bloom noted there is much conversation at the railroad station relative to Larchmont's impending change in commuter parking regulations and pre- sented a letter from Mrs.. Ruth Campanelli...of Barnum Road in which the serious shortage of spaces after a certain time in the morning was high- lighted. Since Mr. Bloom noted that a public hearing would have to be held if any changes are contemplated, it was decided that further infor- mation be presented to the Board in preparation for setting a date for public hearing. 5. Development of Novak Property Deputy Supervisor Bloom presented the Engineer's memorandum and attachments and commented on the background of the captioned property and reviewed right up to the present including the confusion about whether Old Hommocks Road is a private or public road. A great deal of discussion ensued during which Mr. Tannenbaum, Attorney for the property owner addressed the Board relative to his client's dilemma in selling the property to a builder for development, the Town Engineer spoke about the Planning Board's approval of the subdivision and recommended that the Town share in the cost of improvement to the road, ._the Town Attorney further clarified the present situation and alternatives open to Mrs. Novak. Deputy Supervisor Bloom pointed out that various good suggestions were made tonight to get the matter settled which also indicated justification for the Town to _share in the paving costs, Thereupon, following further discussion during which the Board members agreed with Mr. Bloom, on motion by Councilman Amlicke, seconded by Councilwoman Silverstone, it was unanimously RESOLVED, that this Board hereby authorize that up to one-half of the cost of improving Old Hommocks .Road, but no more than $3,000 be paid by the Town of Mamaroneck. 6.
