2. Approval of Minutes
The minutes of the October 26, 2020 meeting were approved as submitted.
3. Referral – 112 North Chatsworth Avenue, Residential site plan approval for the
construction of a new single family house.
Eliot Senor and Frank Marsella presented the proposal to construct a new single family house on
at 112 North Chatsworth Avenue. Cultec units in the front and rear yards will be used to control
stormwater runoff from the site. The driveway will be shorter than the previous one because the
detached garage will be removed and the new garage incorporated into the proposed house. A
trench drain will direct stormwater runoff from the driveway into the front Cultec units. Six trees
will be removed from the property including two large sweet gum trees that were evaluated by an
arborist. The arborist recommends that the tree in the rear yard be removed because of a pre-
existing hazardous condition and the front tree due to structural issues and likely root damage
during construction. Three sugar maples are proposed in the rear yard and two elm trees are
proposed in front of the house. CZMC found the proposed action to be consistent with the
policies in the Local Waterfront Revitalization Program.

4. Local Consistency Review – US Army Corps of Engineers – Reauthorization of Nationwide
General Permits.
The NYS Department of State (DOS) is requesting comments on the proposed reauthorization of
the US Army Corps of Engineers (ACOE) Nationwide General Permits. These permits generally
pertain to activities that are routinely conducted and includes sea walls, piers, docks. The last
time we reviewed this they wanted to permit the disturbance of large portions of river banks and
we wrote a letter stating that the disturbance of river banks was inconsistent with the LWRP. The
DOS has only given CZMC a short period of time to comment, and it is likely we will not get a
response back to them within their timeframe. However, we will still send in a comment letter to
them. Elizabeth Aitchison will resend the correspondence from DOS to CZMC members and will
draft a letter in response.
5. Old Business
The current moratorium on rock removal is still in effect. Because of the pandemic, the Town
board issued a moratorium on rock chipping in an attempt to control the noise pollution while
most residents and students are working from home.
6. New Business
Manor Park Pathway – An email was sent to CZMC by the Manor Park Association notifying us
of their plans to replace the pathway in the park. They are also restoring native plantings in the
park. The project will only take two to three weeks to complete and no start date has yet been
provided.
The meeting was adjourned at 8:30 p.m.
