PUBLIC HEARING: Resolution Approving Certain Street Lighting Improvements in and for Street Lighting District No. 1 of the Town of Mamaroneck On motion by Deputy Supervisor Vandernoot, seconded by Councilman Bloom, the hearing was declared open and the Affidavits of Publi- cation and Posting of the Notice of Hearing were herewith presented and ordered received and filed for the record. The Supervisor called to attention that the amoritization of the bonding for the proposed lighting would have to be 5 years rather than the 15 years originally planned because it was a replacement rather than new installation. Therefore, she recommended that this hearing be adjourned in order to afford the Engineer the time necessary, to draw up the new figures for the Board's consideration. In reply to the Supervisor's statement that persons wishing to be heard in favor of or in opposition to the proposal were now invited to address the Board, several residents spoke to the following items concerning: 1) why only five years was allowed for the bonding; 2) why it was necessary to install such unappealing lighting; -5- 110 8-6-75 3) whether it was possible to consider the installation of more of the present lighting (such as a light on every pole rather than every other pole as seemed to be the case in most of the Unincor- porated Area) especially in areas where more frequent robberies occur; III 4) questioning of life expectancy of this type of lighting which was still pretty new; 5) evidence of amount of savings (if any) to an individual property owner; 6) and last, the question of adverse effect on trees and vegetation. Following some observations by members of the Board and Engineer with reference to articles by experts concerning any effect of sodium vapor lighting on plant life and the technical advantages and disadvantages of sodium vapor versus incandescant and mercury vapor lighting, since no one else addressed the Board, on motion offered by Deputy Supervisor Vandernoot and seconded by Councilman Bloom, it was unanimously RESOLVED, that this hearing be and it hereby is adjourned to the next regular meeting on Wednesday, September 3, 1975. The Supervisor thanked all those who had participated in the dis- cussion and stated that the Board would be happy to receive any additional information prior to its next meeting. OLD BUSINESS 1.

Huntington, Westchester County Deputy Commissioner of Solid Waste, herewith ordered received and filed, in which those questions raised at the previous regular Town Board meeting were satisfactorily answered, and pursuant to her recommendation that the Town Board enact and accept the County Plan, following some discussion relative to the pros and cons of the Mt.

Title: This Resolution shall be known as the Solid Waste Disposal Resolution. Section 2. Purpose: The purpose of this resolution is to provide for the disposal of all solid waste generated in this municipality in compliance with Federal and State standards for the control of air, water, and ground pollution through participation in the "Plan for Solid Waste Management in Westchester County, New York", dated May 7, 1974, adopted by Westchester County Board of Legislators by Resolution No. 162-1974.

(c) Solid Waste Facility, includes any fixed facility that is established, maintained and operated either as its primary function or in support of some other facility or operation, for the transfer, treatment, disposal or salvage of solid waste. It in- cludes, but is not limited to, any facility that is established for the purpose of trans- ferring, bailing, composting, incinerating, recycling, separating, salvaging, shredding or landfilling any solid waste or any combin- ation of functions thereof, including stationary compactors located at points of collection. (d) Plan means, "A Plan for Solid Waste Management in Westchester County, New York" dated May 7, 1974. Section 4. Transfer of Solid Waste: This municipality shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Solid Waste Facility (or facilities) for Wasteshed #4 as designated in the Plan for Westchester County (except as emergencies at or agreed changes in County disposal facilities occur) and which are licensed, operated or approved by Westchester County, all solid waste collected or caused to be collected within the boundaries of this municipality, subject to such restrictions as may be required by the County in conformity with the Plan as set forth in Resolution 162-1974 of the County Board of Legislators, except that bona fide recycling or resource recovery programs or drives within this municipality and operated or licensed by it may be exempted from this Section with the approval of Westchester County.

The Supervisor stated she would be glad to cooperate in that kind of effort and would welcome suggestions. 2. Upon recognition, Mr. Louis Petrillo, 34 Vine Road, Town stated that he wished to request the Town Board's consideration of a stop sign at Vine Road and Vine Place. He described the area as being a blind corner due to overgrown shrubbery and although used by many children as a direct walking route to Murray Avenue School, there were no sidewalks. Mr. Ralph Best of 39 Vine Road, Town re-emphasized the statements made by his neighbor.

Allen of 11 Bruce Road, Town, under date of July 11, 1975. in behalf of property owners on Bruce Road and Old White Plains Road asking the town to extend its sanitary sewer district to service their area and also to make Bruce Road a public street, was herewith presented and ordered received and filed. -9- 114 8-6-75 Mr. Allen was in the audience and reiterated some of the points made in his letter. The Supervisor noted that the property owners would have to dedicate the roadway to the town before it could become a public thoroughfare and that although a decision could not be made tonight on either request, since the Board would have to have more time to study the matter, the Engineer would be in- structed to investigate and study the costs involved in the extension which was so ordered. 2.
