1. Roll Call
2. Approval of Minutes
The minutes of the March 22, 2021 meeting were approved as submitted.
3. Referrals:
a. 1 Spanish Cove
Robert Keller, Joeseph Pajones and Bruno Iacono presented the proposal to install a
swimming pool at 1 Spanish Cove. The Village of Larchmont Planning Board had previously
referred the construction of a new house on the property to CZMC in 2020, which is under
construction now. The Applicant has decided to add a pool to the project and so they are
returning to CZMC.
Erosion control and stoiniwater mitigation are being provided and the pool is being situated to
minimize visual impacts. Because the proposed pool is located in an AE flood zone,it is being
built on pilings with extra concrete to prevent it from uplifting during flood events. CZMC
found the proposed action to be consistent with the policies in the Local Waterfront
Revitalization Program.

b. 25 Ocean Avenue
Robert Keller presented the plans for the renovation of the house at 25 Ocean Avenue. The
majority of the work to be done will be inside the house. Exterior work will include the
expansion of terraces, the installation of a Cultec drainage system, reduction of the driveway
area and landscaping.
CZMC found the proposed action to be consistent with the policies in the Local Waterfront
Revitalization Program. However, when landscaping the property, efforts should be made to
preserve the public views from Ocean Avenue and Walnut Avenue to the Harbor.
c. 14 Old Colony Drive
Robert Keller presented the proposal for renovations to the house and property at 14 Old
Colony Drive. The exterior renovations will include a new facade, a deck extension, a new
front walkway and a gravel terrace.
Two Cultec units will be installed to capture and treat some of the sediment and stoiniwater
from the site. The system will overflow to a popup emitter on the lawn. CZMC found the
proposal to be consistent with the policies in the LWRP.
d. 40 Ocean Avenue
In January, CZMC heard the proposal to subdivide and construct two new houses at 40 Ocean
Avenue. At that time, CZMC requested additional infoiivation to deteiiuine if the proposed
houses would be consistent with Policy 25B, C and D which seek to preserve the visual and
scenic qualities of the neighborhood. The Applicant was asked to return to CZMC with
realistic renderings of the proposed houses so that a deteiiuination could be made.
Adam Wekstein and Thomas Kerrigan presented the renderings which demonstrate that the
homes would not impact the scenic views of the Harbor. Based on these renderings, CZMC
found the project to be consistent with Policy 25 B, C and D.
4. Old Business
No Old Business
5. New Business
The Town of Mamaroneck has issued a 6-month long moratorium on the demolition of houses so
that the Town Board could study the issue further.
The meeting was adjourned at 8:50 p.m. The Next CZMC meeting will be held on Monday, May
24, 2021 at 7:30 p.m.
