CALL TO ORDER
The regular meeting of the Town Board was called to order by Supervisor
O'Keeffe at 8:15 PM. She then pointed out the location of exits.
PRESENTATION - Sheldrake Environmental Center
Suzanne Frank, President Sheldrake Environmental Center, addressed the Board
with the following comments:
Thank you Supervisor O'Keeffe and Town Council members. I very much
appreciate this opportunity to highlight Sheldrake Environmental Center and
its accomplishments.
In 1998 the Town board had the vision to offer a permanent home for
Sheldrake's predecessor organization—Local Involvement For the
Environment(also known as L.I.F.E.). This afforded L.I.F.E. a stable home from
which we could expand our nature programming for the community— at the
site we quickly started our summer ecology program and Eco-kids for the
Mamaroneck Avenue pre-k program children, we expanded into birthday
parties for children, and developed our spring lecture series. Those are just a
few of our then new programs.
With the close proximity to the Larchmont Reservoir Conservancy property,
L.I.F.E.'s relationship with the stewards of that property-Friends of the
Reservoir- became even closer. L.I.F.E. and Friends formed a "natural
partnership"; L.I.F.E.'s mission of environmental education, and the Friends'
mission of Conservancy property stewardship dovetailed neatly. The merger
of Friends and L.I.F.E. in 2001 created Sheldrake with its dual mission to
inspire environmental awareness and action in our community and to
preserve, protect and enhance local environmental resources, particularly the
conservancy property.
Two years ago, Sheldrake undertook a process to more fully understand the
needs of the property. We developed a plan of action for the care of it— our
Stewardship Plan. Now, two projects are coming to fruition. The first is the
Mary Ann Johnson River Walk, which is along the Sheldrake River as it winds
its way from Goodliffe Pond down to Weaver Street. It was started in the
summer of 2004. Thanks to the Town's Summer Conservation Crew non-
native overgrowth was pruned away, allowing us to see the possibilities. Over
the next year, native plants will be reintroduced in the area along the river.
This trail is named in honor of Mary Ann Johnson, a long-time L.I.F.E. Center
environmental educator and wife of Jimmy Johnson— same James G.
Johnson, Jr. whose name graces the Larchmont Reservoir property. Together
they have been known as Mr. & Mrs. Reservoir.
October 19, 2005
The second project the bird blind- is nearly complete and was introduced this
past Sunday at the Fall Festival. At the waters'edge of Goodliffe Pond there is
an old stone building, which we've renovated. We've opened up a window into
the building which will allow people to observe birds without disturbing them.
A small patio with a bench and interpretive signage finishes the site— making
it a quiet place to enjoy nature. This project has been done in the memory of
Lawrence Lowy, first president of L.I.F.E. in the early 70's, and of Margie
Strauss, a long-time environmental educator.
Both projects are being done to enhance the educational value of the
property. This will be the only area of the property with interpretive signage.
We believe in allowing nature to speak for its self, and we also know that there
is value in providing information about nature.
Sheldrake is a non-profit membership organization with a long history in our
community. Our funding comes from program income, grants from
foundations and service contracts with school districts and municipalities,
and most importantly, from tax-deductible membership contributions and
donations.
We rely on volunteers to accomplish most all that we do. Our focus is helping
people make a connection with nature and learn from nature. Our trained
naturalists lead thousands of kids each year on walks of discovery. To those
people at home viewing tonight, if you love nature and you want to make a
difference in your community, call us. Our number is 834-1443. Whether your
interest is in board work, training as a naturalist, or helping out around the
office, we need you. We are in the phone book and on the web at
www.sheldrakecenter.org.
To speak about our many programs, I'd like to turn the podium over the Marie
Venezia, our new executive director. Shortly after moving here in the late 90's,
Marie discovered our hidden jewel, the conservancy property, came into the
office and simply said, "How can I help?"A Westchester County VIP-trained
naturalist, an accomplished business woman, a dedicated wife & mother,
Marie has a multitude of talents, and believe me, Sheldrake needs and uses
them all. Thank you and now Marie....
Suzanne Frank then introduced Marie Venezia, Executive Director Sheldrake
Environmental Center, who made the following comments:
Thank you Suzanne for your kind words, and to you Madame Supervisor and
Town Council for inviting us here this evening.
I knew from my five years on the board of directors that Sheldrake had a
dedicated board, a beautiful property and a mission I supported. But it wasn't
until I assumed, what I consider, the stewardship of the front office as
executive director, that I truly learned about what a valuable service Sheldrake
provides to the community
Ongoing this fall, Sheldrake has programs for children and their caregivers for
schools, for scouts and the community
Our children's programs include:
Mommy and Me, for 3 and 4 year olds and their caregivers. Pre-K drop-off for
the more adventurous 4 year olds, and 5 year olds.
After-school programs for K through 4t" grade, (Currently, we have 3.d graders
who started out with us years ago in Mommy and Me.)
Our school programs are given to primarily the elementary grades and involve
seasonal walks or walks addressing specific topics at the Sheldrake River, the
reservoir, or at Dog Beach.
My favorite programs are those that we provide to children for whom we are
the only chance they get to walk in the woods. There is nothing more special
to hear from a child that "Wow! This is real nature.....or wait until I take my
dad here!" We work to ensure that lack of financial resources doesn't
preclude a child from attending our programs,
We also provide programs to the boy and girl scouts. There is tremendous
demand for these programs and we would like to give more.
2
October 19, 2005
Actually, there is tremendous demand for all of our programs. Our limiting
factor, is also what makes us SO special: our naturalists. Our long term
naturalists and our more recently trained environmental educators are the
keys to our programs. We do not have nearly enough to meet the insatiable
demand for our programs. Tomorrow starts our fall training program for new
naturalists. I encourage everyone to think of someone who might benefit from
the excellent training provided by Mary Davis, our Director of Environmental
Programs and have them call us. No worry if they miss week one; call us and
start next week!
I have many other initiatives in mind. But there will be time for that later. I am
very excited to work with a Town that continually demonstrates it commitment
to the environment- and I plan to keep in close touch,
Thank you.
Councilwoman Seligson thanked Ms. Venezia and welcomed all residents to take
advantage of the wonderful jewel in our community.
Councilwoman Wittner said the first time she met Ms. Venezia she told her she
should be on the board for the Sheldrake Environmental Center.
Supervisor O'Keeffe thanked Ms. Frank saying her enthusiasm was contagious.

PUBLIC HEARING —Amendment— Illegal Sewer Connection Law
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 Wednesday, October 19, 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 "First Amendment to the `Removal of Illegal
Connections and the Elimination of Illegal Discharge of Liquids'Law."
Purpose
On May 4, 2005, the Town Board added§106-49 entitled "Requirement for a
Discharge Compliance Certificate"to the Code of the Town of Mamaroneck.
This law created a new certificate called a Discharge Compliance Certificate.
A Discharge Compliance Certificate is a certification that all of the
connections leading from a parcel of land comply with the laws regulating
the discharge of liquids from such property. Under§ 106-49, the occupancy
of buildings on real property in the unincorporated area of the Town will be
illegal when such property is sold unless a Discharge Compliance
Certificate is issued for that property. Since this new requirement will have
an impact upon the sale of real property in the unincorporated area of the
Town, the Town Board has determined that there is a need to educate the
public about this new certificate before§ 106-49 goes into effect. This law
creates a time period for that educational process by not requiring
Discharge Compliance Certificates for sales of real property until after
January 1, 2006.
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
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.
Town Attorney Bill Maker explained the original law was enacted in May 2005,
adding that this amendment changes the effective date of this law to January 2006.
Stephen Altieri, Town Administrator, explained this amendment was necessary due
to delay in getting the word out to the public regarding effective dates of this new
law.
Councilwoman Wittner commended the Sound View News and it's reporter, Michael
Dandry, for their work in notifying the public of this law adding her disappointment
in the effective date needing to be postponed.
On motion of Councilwoman Seligson, seconded by councilman Winick, the hearing
was unanimously opened.
Councilman Winick asked Mr. Altieri to tell the public what they will need to do in
order to comply with this law after January 1, 2006; would homeowners contact the
Building Department?
Mr. Altieri answered that the law would be administered through the Building
Department adding that the law pertained to illegal connections to sanitary sewers
from driveway drainage, sump pumps etc., and that the proper connection is
through the storm drain. The law would apply when real estate ownership changes.
Councilwoman Seligson said this was a progressive and practical law that was
necessary in order to comply with a County consent order.
4
October 19, 2005
Councilwoman Wittner stated that municipalities are passing these laws to comply
with federal law as well as a county consent order.
On motion of Councilman Winick, seconded by Councilwoman Seligson, the

of the proposed local law regarding Illegal Sewer

AFFAIRS OF THE TOWN
1. Submission -2006 Tentative Budget
The Town Administrator proposed a Tentative Budget for the fiscal year
commencing on January 1, 2006, explaining that what the Town is seeing tonight is
a tentative budget based on staff recommendations. Mr. Altieri further explained
that the budget consisted of 9 separate funds, each operating independently of each
other. The budget process begins in July when all departments have budget review
sessions, followed by individual work sessions, followed by the submission to the
Town Board of a Tentative Budget.
In overview, the total Tentative Town Budget is $26.2 million dollars, a $908,000
increase over last year, representing a 3.6% increase. Funding will come from
approximately 7.6 million dollars in non-property tax revenue, 1.6 million dollars
from applied surplus, leaving 16.9 million needed from property taxes. Residents of
the two villages paying the Town wide tax will see a decrease from $293.00 to
$234.00 per$1,000.00 of assessed value. The Unincorporated residents will see an
increase from $217.00 to $227.00 per$1,00.00 of assessed value.
The public budget hearing dates will be as follows:
October 25th 6:OOpm, Overview of Tentative Budget
November 4, 8:30am Operating Departments
November 9th 6:OOpm, Capital Budget
November 14th 6:OOpm, Review of Revenues
2. Referral — Special Permit Application Forest City Daly
Town Attorney Bill Maker explained that the subject of Forest City Daly , now called
Forest City Residential Mamaroneck, has been the subject of discussion for the last
few years, adding that earlier in the year the Zoning ordinance was amended to
reflect a new type of procedure for multi-use buildings such as being proposed by
Forest City Residential Mamaroneck. This procedure is for an application for a
special permit. A special permit is issued by the Town Board, but not until it refers
the application to the Planning Board, which then reviews it as if it were a site plan
application, referring it to other boards and commissions for review. Mr. Maker
added that his understanding was that the staff had reviewed this application and it
was in technical compliance with the statute. Therefore, if the Town Board so
chooses it can make the referral to the Planning Board to initiate the Special Permit
process. Mr. Maker further commented for clarification that under statute 240 —25 E
2 C there is a requirement for work force housing to be included within this
development, and that it be permanently designated as such. Similarly, statute 240-
25 G talks about the Town Board weighing in on proposals made by applicant to
construct or improve parking and traffic in the Washington Square Area. Both of
these issues are not fully addressed in this application, until they are the Board
cannot issue a special permit. The Board can however at this time refer this special
permit application to the Planning Board.
Supervisor O'Keeffe thanked Mr. Maker for his clear explanation and asked what the
time table for this referral would be.
7
October 19, 2005
Mr. Maker responded that a public hearing must be held by this Board on this
application by no earlier than the receipt of the Planning Board's advisory opinion or
the 60th day following the date the referral is received by the secretary of the
Planning Board. Therefore, as soon as the resolution is prepared by the Town Clerk
as part of the minutes and received by the Planning Board Clerk, the process will
begin. The Planning Board than has a minimum of60 days to respond; 60 days
being a statutory requirement.
Supervisor O'Keeffe than asked Mr. Tung, of Divney, Tung & Schwalbe, the project
management firm for Forest City Residential, LLC to explain to the Board the
proposed changes and how they differ from the original plans the Board and the
Town residents have previously been shown. Mr. Tung explained that the two
notable changes were the reduction in the number of units from a maximum of 159
to 135. The foot print of the building would remain the same, only the units would be
larger. The ownership status would change from rental to Condominium. Mr. Tung
stated these plans were consistent with the Boards' original findings as well as that
of SEAR. Mr. Tung further stated that the special application had sections to help
the Planning Board with its review process.
Mr. Tung addressed some questions asked of him by further explaining that there
was an elimination of 3 bedroom units, that the number of parking spaces had been
reduced, but because there would be less units there would be proportionately more
parking. Finally regarding the work force housing, Mr.Tung stated the requirement
for these was being fulfilled.
On motion of Councilwoman Seligson, seconded by Councilman Odierna, it was
RESOLVED to defer the Special Permit Application
submitted by Forest City Residential, LLC October 13, 2005
for a special permit pursuant to section 240 —25 of the
Code of the Town of Mamaroneck to the Planning Board of
the Town of Mamaroneck for a written advisory opinion
within sixty days.

On motion of Councilwoman Seligson, seconded by Councilwoman Wittner, it was
RESOLVED, that the Town Board does hereby approve
the minutes of July 13, 2005 as amended.
Councilman Odierna mentioned to Mr. Roniger of the Gardens Lake Civic
Association, that he might want to get a copy of the July 13, 2005 Town Board
minutes because it had a good synopsis of the previous discussion the Board had
with him regarding the tunnel at the Larchmont train station.
ORAL COMMUNICATIONS
George Roniger, Gardens Lake Civic Association, said he went before the Village of
Larchmont to discuss the tunnel at the Larchmont train station. Mr. Roniger said the
Village listened to his comments, but had no response.
Supervisor O'Keeffe addressed this saying she spoke with Chris Waite, Head
Engineer for the NYS Thruway Authority. She asked him to look at the tunnel at the
train station and give his assessment. He did a walk through and wrote a written
report to Supervisor O'Keeffe and Ken Bialo, Village of Larchmont Mayor. He stated
that the repairs needed were strictly maintenance, not capital improvement and
therefore the responsibility of the Village of Larchmont. Supervisor O'Keeffe added
that she also contacted State Assemblyman George Latimer who suggested that the
Town of Mamaroneck and The Village of Larchmont together contact the State
Assembly for a grant to repair the tunnel.
9
October 19, 2005
There was then discussion about what repairs were needed, how best to assess the
cost, and how best to get the Village of Larchmont to adhere to its agreement with
the Thruway Authority to maintain the tunnel.
Supervisor O'Keeffe then thanked Mr. Roniger for his perseverance with regards to
the tunnel.
Mr. Roniger than continued with his report stating the Association was sponsoring a
