ORAL COMMUNICATIONS
The Supervisor introduced Mr. Pat Cunningham, saying he was here to speak about the sound
barriers.
Mr. Cunningham said the sound barriers were installed along 1-95. He thanked the Board on
behalf of several hundred families who were involved in this matter. He said this project had
first begun back in the 1980's when John Perone was in the Assembly. Mr. Cunningham
thanked the NYS Thruway Authority and the residents of the Town who wrote letters and made
phone calls.
The Supervisor spoke briefly on this matter and thanked all for their perseverance.
Abby Katz of the Larchmont Garden Civic Association also thanked the Board for their work on
the 1-95 sound barriers. She then spoke regarding leaf blowers. She asked if summonses were
being given out. The Supervisor said they had spoken to the Police Chief about this issue.
The police are not going to issue any further warnings but would be issuing tickets.

Ms. Katz voiced her concerns about the sediment and algae in the duck pond.
The Administrator said that he had contacted Nita Lowey's office asking for assistance. From
the Gardens Lake area to the reservoir would be evaluated by the Army Corp of Engineers and
a report prepared. The study should be completed by the end of August or early September.
The Town is also working with the County evaluating a process using copper sulfate, which is
a very expensive process costing $1,500 to $2,000 per treatment.
Councilwoman Seligson asked about putting an aerator in the pond to provide oxygen to
reduce the algae.
The Administrator said that this could be a problem because the lake was too shallow, in some
spots, it's only a foot deep.

The Supervisor then reminded residents not to blow leaves and debris into the Lake or the
brook.

Mr. Altieri explained that the Town is intending to submit an application for funding under the

streetscape improvements on the Boston Post Road and Dillon Road. Councilwoman Wittner
asked whether Parkland, Locust Terrace and Edgewater Place would be included. Mr. Altieri

3. Set Public Hearing -Amendment to Town Code - Director of Buildings
The Attorney explained that this Local Law was to add the position of Director of Building Code
Enforcement and Land Use Administration to the Town's Code. The title being used by our
current head of the department, is Director of Building Code Enforcement, and the code was
never updated to reflect this change when the position was changed. At some future date
should the Town decide to have both titles, the code will give the option by including the
phrase and/or when referring to this position. He said his assistant had searched the Code for
all of the references to "Building Inspector," and he then changed those sections where
needed. In a number of sections, the wording had to be redone to incorporate the new term of
director to make it more understandable. Mr. Maker noted the Town Clerk had contacted the
Secretary of State's office to determine if this format was acceptable, which she was informed
it is.
On motion of Councilwoman Wittner, seconded by Councilwoman Seligson, it was
4
