BOSTON POST ROAD, MAMARONECK, NEW YORK PRESENT: Supervisor Valerie M. O'Keeffe Councilwoman Phyllis Wittner Councilman Ernest C. Odierna Councilwoman Nancy Seligson Councilman Paul A. Winick ALSO PRESENT: Patricia A. DiCioccio, Town Clerk Stephen V. Altieri, Town Administrator William Maker, Jr., Town Attorney WORK SESSION Cablevision Mr. Altieri explained there is a disagreement between Cablevision and Verizon on whether or not Verizon will be required to get a franchise agreement before they begin construction on their infrastructure. The FCC said they may receive permission from the Public Service Commision to go ahead but Cablevision thinks that puts them at a disadvantage. Councilman Winick said the Board of Control met and the attorney came up from Washington who explained this is much more of a problem then we can imagine. If Verizon does not get what they want it could be self defeating —they have a right to string this stuff. There will be an informational meeting next Wednesday about the life of LMC/TV, we may have to fund all or part of it. Special Permit Procedure — Forest City Daly The Administrator said he will have Ron Carpaneto look through the files to find examples of special permit texts. Mr. Maker said first they will file for a special permit and then it will get referred to the Planning Board. Notification Law There was a discussion on the wording in the law which says adjoining or adjacent property rather than radius in the old law. CALL TO ORDER CALL TO ORDER The regular meeting of the Town Board was called to order by Supervisor O'Keeffe at 8:25 PM. She then pointed out the location of exits. PUBLIC HEARINGS — Proposed Stop Signs West Garden Road and Clover Road The following notices of public hearing were entered into the record: PLEASE TAKE NOTICE, that a Public Hearing will be held by the Town Board of the Town of Mamaroneck on June 15, 2005 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 local law entitled "Stop Signs at 2 June 15, 2005 the point where Mardon Road terminates at West Garden Road" Law Purpose The purpose of this Local Law is to regulate traffic where Mardon Road Terminates at Clover Road. The full text of this Local law may be examined and copies obtained at the Town Clerk's office during regular hours (Monday through Friday, 8:30 AM to 4:30 PM, or until 4:00 PM during June, July and August) at740 W. Boston Post Road Mamaroneck, New York PLEASE TAKE FURTHER NOTICE that at the Public Hearing all persons interested will be given an opportunity to be heard and that all persons are invited to submit written comments at or prior thereto. PUBLIC HEARING — Stop Signs West Garden and Mardon Road PLEASE TAKE NOTICE, that a Public Hearing will be held by the Town Board of the Town of Mamaroneck on June 15, 2005 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 local law entitled "Stop Signs at the point where Mardon Road terminates at West Garden Road" Law Purpose The purpose of this Local Law is to regulate traffic where Mardon Road Terminates at West Garden Road Supervisor O'Keeffe said she is very familiar with the road where it intersects with Mardon, you can't see and it's a problem. Councilman Winick said he drives this road everyday and suggested before the Board considers the stop sign he would like to see if the sight line with the hedges is being enforced. Councilman Odierna said trimming hedges won't do it and wanted to know how to selectively enforce the law and if it will change the character of the block. Councilwoman Wittner asked why the people who requested this law were not here and thought it was a good idea to have the Building Inspector look at the corner and the hedges. Councilwoman Seligson said it was difficult to understand the rationale in using stop signs to control speed. Councilman Odierna suggested adjourning to the July 13 meeting and putting up a sign notifying people of the date and time. Then on motion of Councilman Winick, seconded by Councilwoman Wittner, these public hearings were unanimously adjourned to the meeting of July 13, 2005. PUBLIC HEARING — Stop signs Locust Ridge and Glen Eagles Road The following notice of public hearing was entered into the record: PLEASE TAKE NOTICE, that a Public Hearing will be held by the Town Board of the Town of Mamaroneck on June 15, 2005 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 local law entitled "Stop Signs at the point where Locust Ridge Road terminates at Glen Eagles Drive" Law 3 June 15, 2005 Purpose The purpose of this local law is to regulate traffic where Locust Ridge Road terminates at Glen Eagles Drive. The full text of this Local law may be examined and copies obtained at the Town Clerk's office during regular hours (Monday through Friday, 8:30 AM to 4:30 PM, or until 4:00 PM during June, July and August) at 740 W. Boston Post Road Mamaroneck, New York. On motion of Councilman Odierna, seconded by Councilman Winick, the hearing was unanimously opened. Councilman Winick said the concern was caused by people entering the street from Locust and that speeding is the issue, but a stop sign won't work if people are speeding on Glen Eagles. Councilwoman Seligson said maybe the Town is evolving into a place where we need this. Councilman Winick said he had read the Traffic Committee minutes concerning requests for stop signs and it seems to him that the Traffic Committee has to generate more of a report regarding their rationale for these recommendations, especially since this stop sign would not help slow down traffic on Glen Eagles. Councilwoman Seligson agreed there needs to be a more thorough findings statement from the Traffic Committee as the Board needs to know more to make these decisions. On motion of Councilman Winick, seconded by Councilwoman Wittner, the Board unanimously adjourned this matter to the meeting of July 13, 2005.
