PUBLIC HEARINGS
STOP INTERSECTION - FERNWOOD ROAD WHERE IT INTERSECTS CLOVER STREET
The following notice was placed into the record:
PLEASE TAKE NOTICE, that a Public Hearing will be held by the Town Board of the Town of
Mamaroneck on Wednesday, Oct. 4, 2000 at 8:15 PM or as soon thereafter as is possible in
the Court Room of the Town Center, 740 W. Boston Post Road, Mamaroneck, New York to
consider the adoption of a proposed Local Law entitled "Stop Intersection - Fernwood Road
Where It Intersects Clover Street."
Mr. Altieri explained that this matter had been brought before the Traffic Committee to
consider the installation of a stop sign on Fernwood Road. The Traffic Committee generally
has a policy where stop signs should be used as a way to control traffic going from a
secondary street to a primary street. Stop signs should not be use to control the speed of
traffic. The Committee is recommending that a stop sign be installed on Fernwood Road and
Clover Street that will hopefully help control the traffic on both of these streets.
On motion of Councilman Odierna, seconded by Councilwoman Wittner, the hearing was
declared open.
The Supervisor asked if there was anyone who would like to speak in favor of the proposed
local law.
Beth Boyle of 52 Fernwood Road spoke. She has been a resident for the past seven years.
Two and a half years ago this matter was brought before the Traffic Committee, but they were
not willing to look into it at that time. She has the unanimous support of all of her neighbors
who are in agreement with the installation of the stop sign. They would like to see the stop
sign come to fruition.
Richard Mari, a member of the Traffic Committee, spoke against installing a stop sign; his
was the only vote against installing the stop sign. He felt that this street did not warrant it.
He said that he has observed the traffic pattern on Fernwood Road and feels that the sign is
not justified.
Bill Wolf of 53 Fernwood Road spoke in favor for the reasons stated by Mrs. Boyle.
OCTOBER 4, 2000
There were also two other families in the audience, Dr. Densky of 72 Fernwood Road and
Mrs. Henderson of 50 Fernwood Road who are in favor of the law.
Councilman Odierna spoke in favor as long as the sign can be removed if it doesn't solve the
problem.
Councilwoman Myers compared this to the new stop signs that were installed on Harmon
Drive which seem to be helping the speeding problem. She suggested using the speed meter
on Fernwood Road to oversee the traffic situation.
Councilwoman Wittner spoke saying that she does not recommend the use of stop signs to
slow down traffic.
The Supervisor stated she grew up in that neighborhood and that she was very familiar with
the area and was in favor of the law. She wondered if W. Garden Road would then have the
brunt of the traffic.
On motion of Councilwoman Wittner, seconded by Councilman Odierna, the hearing was
declared closed.
On motion of Councilwoman Myers, seconded by Councilman Odierna, the following Local
Law was adopted:
LOCAL LAW NO. 16 -2000

STOP INTERSECTION - HOWELL AVENUE AT THE INTERSECTIONS OF MEADOW PLACE
AND HAWTHORNE ROAD
The Administrator explained that this has been before the Traffic Committee in the past. The
uniqueness of this situation is that Carleon and Howell Avenues often serve as shortcuts
between Palmer Avenue and Weaver Street. The Howell Park community requested that stop
2
OCTOBER 4, 2000
signs be installed.
The following notice was placed into the record:
PLEASE TAKE NOTICE, that a Public Hearing will be held by the Town Board of the Town of
Mamaroneck on Wednesday, Oct. 4, 2000 at 8:15 PM or as soon thereafter as is possible in
the Court Room of the Town Center, 740 W. Boston Post Road, Mamaroneck, New York to
consider the adoption of a proposed Local Law entitled "Stop Intersection - Howell Avenue at
the Intersections of Meadow Place and Hawthorne Road."
On motion of Councilwoman Wittner, seconded by Councilwoman Myers, the hearing was
declared open.
The Supervisor asked of anyone would like to speak regarding the stop sign for Howell
Avenue.
David Getz of 70 Howell Avenue spoke in favor of the stop sign. He will be directly affected by
the installation of the stop sign. He is concerned about the speed and flow of traffic.
The Supervisor asked Mr. Altieri what the Traffic Committee's decision was on this matter.
Steve responded by saying that they recommended the installation of the stop sign.
Richard Mari spoke against the stop sign. He feels it's being used to control speeding and to
aggravate the drivers using that route. There are stop signs on the side roads.
On motion of Councilwoman Wittner, seconded by Councilwoman Seligson, the hearing was
declared closed.
On motion of Councilman Odierna, seconded by Councilwoman Wittner, the following Local
Law was adopted:
LOCAL LAW NO. 17-2000

NO LEFT TURN FROM MYRTLE BOULEVARD ONTO PRESTON STREET
The following notice was placed into the record:
PLEASE TAKE NOTICE, that a Public Hearing will be held by the Town Board of the Town of
Mamaroneck on Wednesday, Oct. 4, 2000 at 8:15 PM or as soon thereafter as is possible in
the Court Room of the Town Center, 740 W. Boston Post Road, Mamaroneck, New York to
consider the adoption of a proposed Local Law entitled "No Left Turn from Myrtle Boulevard
onto Preston Street."
On motion of Councilwoman Wittner, seconded by Councilwoman Myers, the hearing was
declared open.
The Supervisor asked if there was anyone who wished to speak on this matter.
The time stated on the local law was corrected from 4:00 - 7:00 PM to 4:30 - 7:30 PM.
Paul Schwendener of 27 Edgewood Avenue spoke in favor of the no left turn sign. A petition
was signed by every resident on Edgewood Avenue and Preston Street. This is a request to
reinstate of an old local law which was passed some years ago. Edgewood was widened
sometime ago. There is no sidewalk on one side of the street. Traffic was monitored on four
separate occasions during the rush hour period. The average number of cars traveling on
Preston Street during rush hour ranges from twenty to twenty-six. Although these seem to
be relatively low numbers, the cars drive extremely fast through the area.
Katherine Wachs of 31 Edgewood Avenue spoke in favor. She suggested that the time frame
be changed from 4:00 PM to 7:00 PM to 4:30 PM to 7:30 PM.
The Supervisor addressed Ms. Wachs regarding this matter.
Dr. Carl Nathan of 5 Edgewood Avenue said that he walks to the train station and is
concerned for his safety and the safety of others walking in the area. He requested that
Lieutenant Anderson use the speed monitor to observe the area for a while.
Richard Mari, spoke against the local law. He said that he had mixed feelings and that we are
getting carried away with controlling speed with signs. Perhaps lowering the speed limit
would be another solution to the problem.
Councilman Odierna asked Mr. Mari what the impact would be on Weaver Street.
Mr. Mari said that the center line on Myrtle Boulevard near Weaver Street is more to the
center and suggested that it be repainted slightly off center to allow for a left and right lane at
the light. This would allow vehicles going toward the Duck Pond or making right turns to do
so if there are cars making left turns onto Weaver Street.
Peter Perciasepe a resident of 96 Myrtle Boulevard stated that there are three driveways on
Preston Street that the residents will not be able to access. He is also concerned about the
volunteer firefighters responding to fire calls making the left turn onto Preston Street. He
referred to Myrtle Boulevard as a "speedway".
At the Supervisor's request, Councilwoman Wittner read a letter into the record which was
received from George Carroll.
To: Town Board of the Town of Mamaroneck
From: George Carroll(Hillside Road)
Date: October 4, 2000
Re: Proposed regulation prohibiting left turns from Myrtle Boulevard onto
Preston Street
4
OCTOBER 4, 2000
Twice a day five days a week during heavy commuter traffic off the ramp at the
railroad station parking lot, it is often convenient(as well as helpful in relieving
traffic congestion) to be able to avoid the Myrtle/Murray/Chatsworth
intersection by turning up Myrtle and onto Preston and then via Edgewood to
Murray or Echo or Emerson or wherever.
Please bear this in mind as you consider the referenced proposal.
Thank you.
Councilman Odierna asked what the Traffic Committee's vote was on this matter was. Mr.
Altieri said that is was one vote against and six in favor.
The Supervisor said that she was concerned about the volunteers responding to fire calls.
A discussion on this matter followed with Mr. Perciasepe, the Supervisor and the Town
Attorney.
Ms. Wachs asked about the old law. Mr. Perciasepe explained that the old law regarding no
left turns onto Preston was not obeyed and the police never enforced it.
The Attorney stated that volunteers should not be exempt for liability and safety reasons.
Mr. Gordon Albert a resident of 17 Edgewood Avenue said the problem is that people have a
disregard for speed and he would like to put a stop to it.
A lengthy discussion followed regarding this local law.
On motion of Councilwoman Wittner, seconded by Councilwoman Myers, the hearing was
declared closed.
On motion of Councilwoman Wittner, seconded by Councilwoman Myers, the following Local
Law was adopted as amended:
LOCAL LAW NO. 18-2000
This Local Law shall be known as a "No Left Turn from Myrtle Boulevard onto
Preston Street Except for Fire Personnel Vehicles Displaying Emergency Lights".
Section 1. Purpose:
To prevent left hand turns from Myrtle Boulevard onto Preston Street between the
hours of 4:30 PM and 7:30 PM Monday thru Friday except for fire personnel
vehicles displaying emergency lights.
Section 2. Sign to be Erected:
A "No Left Hand Turn Between the Hours of 4:30 PM and 7:30 PM Monday thru
Friday" to be erected on Myrtle Boulevard at the intersection of Preston Street
except for fire personnel vehicles displaying emergency lights.
Section 3. Severability:

NO TURN ON RED FROM MYRTLE BOULEVARD ONTO WEAVER STREET
The following notice was placed into the record:
PLEASE TAKE NOTICE, that a Public Hearing will be held by the Town Board of the Town of
Mamaroneck on Wednesday, Oct. 4, 2000 at 8:15 PM or as soon thereafter as is possible in
the Court Room of the Town Center, 740 W. Boston Post Road, Mamaroneck, New York to
consider the adoption of a proposed Local Law entitled "No Turn on Red from Myrtle
Boulevard onto Weaver Street."
On motion of Councilwoman Wittner, seconded by Councilwoman Myers, the hearing was
declared open.
Mr. Altieri explained that this matter was brought before the Traffic Committee at its last
meeting. When cars attempt to make the right turn on red from Myrtle onto Weaver one has
to pull out a bit and this makes it a very unsafe condition.
On motion of Councilwoman Wittner, seconded by Councilwoman Myers , the hearing was
declared closed.
On motion of Councilwoman Myers, seconded by Councilman Odierna, the following Local
Law was adopted as amended:
LOCAL LAW NO. 19-2000
This Local Law shall be known as a "No Turn on Red From Myrtle Boulevard onto
Weaver Street".
Section 1. Purpose:
To prevent turns on red from Myrtle Boulevard onto Weaver Street.
Section 2. Sign to be Erected:
A "No Turn on Red" sign to be erected on Myrtle Boulevard at the intersection of
Weaver Street.

AFFAIRS OF THE TOWN
1. Resolution Pryer Manor Marsh Grant - Phase II
Councilwoman Wittner explained that this resolution is part of a grant that was approved but
because the grant is actually being funded in a different fiscal year than the grant was
awarded we need a new resolution to accompany the grant. This Grant is the second phase
of the restoration of the Pryer Manor Marsh. Briefly described, the first phase of the project
7
OCTOBER 4, 2000
is intended to restore the tidal influence to the Marsh. This will be accomplished by the
installation of piping across Pryer Manor Road to reintroduce salt water to the marsh on the
opposite side of the street. At this time, we are awaiting the completion of the survey of the
area to prepare for construction of the piping. In order to proceed with Phase II of the
project, the State Department of Environmental Conservation is asking that the Town adopt a
second resolution showing its continued support for the project.
Phase II will continue the restoration activities begun in Phase I of the Pryer Manor Marsh
Restoration project. Salt penetration will be expanded to the periphery of the marsh, and
invasive plant species will be removed and replaced with native salt marsh plants. The
combination of activities will expand and improve aquatic habitat for resident and migratory
fish and wildlife.
Total Project Cost: $283,665
