Samela, Deputy Town Clerk CALL TO ORDER The regular meeting of the Town Board was called to order by Supervisor O'Keeffe at 8:30 PM, who then pointed out the location of exits. PUBLIC HEARINGS - Establish No Parking Zone -40 N. Chatsworth Avenue -Add Position of Director of Building Code Enforcement and Land Use Administration to the Town Code ESTABLISH NO PARKING ZONE -40 N. CHATSWORTH AVENUE The following public hearing 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 Thursday, November 7, 2002 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 Parking Zone -40 N. Chatsworth Avenue". On motion of Councilwoman Seligson, seconded by Councilwoman Myers, the hearing was declared open. The Supervisor explained each of the Council members had visited the 40 N. Chatsworth Avenue site. She then asked if there was anyone from the audience who would like to speak. Mr. Maker explained the purpose of the local law was to change parking at 40 N. Chatsworth Avenue to allow for a safer exit from the driveway for the homeowner. The Supervisor read the contents of the amended law. She then questioned whether the six feet north and south of the driveway as stated in the law was actually the driveway or the apron, and from where the measurements were being taken. The Supervisor said the site had been visited by all members of the Board and asked if anyone wished to speak. Councilwoman Seligson suggested putting up signs restricting the size of cars being able to park in this area. Mr. Maker said this is a public street and the Town could not make this type of regulation. November 7, 2002 Mr. Rick Gear, owner of 40 N. Chatsworth Avenue, stated when he built the house and the driveway the sub-contractor had checked with the Town to ensure the driveway was within code as far as the width. He also stated the normal barrier for a driveway was three feet on either side, so in actuality, there would only be a total of six feet being considered. Councilwoman Myers stated the Traffic Committee had discussed this and said the driveway in question would require more than three feet. Councilman Odierna said he had pulled into the driveway, the visibility seemed to be no problem when making a right turn out of the driveway. Mr. Gear said it depended on the type and size of the vehicle parked near the driveway. It is impossible to see uphill towards Rockingstone because people tend to crowd the apron of the driveway, so much so he had to call the police on one occasion. The Supervisor said if the Town put up signs within three feet this would push the cars back a bit. She proposed six feet from the driveway line, mentioning it would be a disaster if lots of residents started asking for this. Mr. Richard Mari, member of the Traffic Committee, said the no parking sign should be put from the perpendicular line on each side. The Supervisor asked if he knew how wide the driveway was. The Board then discussed the width and splay of the driveway and it was decided to hold this over to allow the Board to get the precise measurements of the driveway, and to get the regulations from the building department. On motion of Councilwoman Wittner, seconded by Councilman Odierna, the hearing was declared closed. On motion of Councilwoman Seligson, seconded by Councilwoman Myers, it was RESOLVED, that the Town Board finds that the adoption of the proposed local law will constitute a Type II action under the New York State Environmental Quality Review Act (SEQRA); and BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the Town Board hereby declares itself to be lead agency with respect to the proposed action. The above resolution was put to a roll call vote: Seligson - Aye Odierna - Aye Myers - Aye Wittner - Aye O'Keeffe - Aye It was suggested this public hearing be adjourned until November 20. More information is needed, including the width of the driveway involved in the matter, before the hearing can proceed. On motion of Councilwoman Myers, seconded by Councilman Odierna, it was RESOLVED, that the Town Board does hereby adjourn the Public Hearing to "Establish a No Parking Zone at 40 N. Chatsworth Avenue" until November 20, 2002. The above local law was put to a roll call vote: Seligson - Aye Odierna - Aye 2 November 7, 2002 Myers - Aye Wittner - Aye O'Keeffe - Aye ADD POSITION OF DIRECTOR OF BUILDING CODE ENFORCEMENT AND LAND USE ADMINISTRATION TO THE TOWN CODE 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, November 17, 2002, 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 a Local Law to add the position of Director of Building Code Enforcement and Land Use Administration to the Town's Code. The purpose of the law is the Town of Mamaroneck has created the position of Director of Building Code Enforcement and Land Use Administration. The Director performs the same functions as the Building Inspector. Throughout the Code of the Town of Mamaroneck there are references to "Building Inspector" which now also should include "Director of Building Code Enforcement and Land Use Administration:". This local law makes that change. On motion of Councilwoman Wittner, seconded by Councilman Odierna, the hearing was declared open. The Town Attorney explained the amended local law substitutes the title of"Director of Building Code Enforcement and Land Use Administrator" for the title "Building Inspector" throughout the code. Some of the changes required more drafting than just the substitution of the one title for the other. The new section 106.37B allows the Town Board to hire building inspectors, assistant building inspectors and other deputies. To ensure a proper chain of command, under the revised statute all of these appointees report to the Director. The Supervisor asked if anyone had any comments or questions. There were none. Councilwoman Wittner noted this had been referred to the Planning Board for comment and review. On motion of Councilwoman Myers, seconded by Councilwoman Seligson , the hearing was declared closed. On motion of Councilman Odierna, seconded by Councilwoman Myers, it was unanimously RESOLVED, that the Town Board finds that the adoption of the proposed local law will constitute a Type II action under the New York State Environmental Quality Review Act (SEQRA); and BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the Town Board hereby declares itself to be lead agency with respect to the proposed action. On motion of Councilman Odierna, seconded by Councilwoman Seligson, the following Local Law was adopted: Local Law No. 10 -2002 This local law shall be known as the "The addition of the title of Director of Building Code Enforcement and Land Use Administration to certain sections of the Code of the Town of Mamaroneck" Local Law.

Councilwoman Seligson attended, along with other Town Board members, a meeting with Con Edison with regard to service to the Marbourne areas. The Supervisor stated there would be another meeting with Con Edison in May. The Town Clerk gave a synopsis of the election results and stated 80% of the unincorporated area of the Town had voted. Councilman Odierna extended congratulations to all those who ran in the election. Councilwoman Myers said the Town residents deserved a pat on the back for their election turnout. The Town Clerk stated in 1992 during the presidential election, turnout was 105%, which happened because more people turned out to vote then were registered -thus there were an abundance of affidavit ballots. The Supervisor extended condolences to Police Officer Adam Libertella on the death of his father. ORAL COMMUNICATIONS Mr. Richard Mari asked if the sidewalk on Dillon Road would be realigned to the driveway to the shopping center. Mr. Altieri said it would not.
