BOSTON POST ROAD, MAMARONECK, NEW YORK PRESENT: Councilwoman Phyllis Wittner Councilwoman Judith A. Myers Councilman Ernest C. Odierna Councilwoman Nancy Seligson Supervisor Valerie M. O'Keeffe (arrived at 6:40 PM) ALSO PRESENT: Patricia A. DiCioccio, Town Clerk Stephen V. Altieri, Town Administrator William Maker, Jr., Town Attorney WORK SESSION Forest City Daly The Board reviewed the SEQRA process regarding the mixed use development application by Forest City Daly, They discussed the Draft Final Environmental Impact Statement, the number of apartments, and the proposed zoning amendment. Boards & Committees The Board discussed the Ethics Code and changing the requirement that volunteers not appear before other boards for one year instead of two years. They also discussed who had been called and asked to serve on some of the boards. The Cove Martha Kaufman and Rita Plansky both spoke about their experience when they ran The Cove. They said there was drinking and fighting and, overall, it turned very negative. Councilwoman Myers explained there would be two police officers and the garage foreman on duty, an entrance through one door only, which will make it a more contained site. Ms. Kaufman said they also had a police presence, but it did not make a difference. She stated there seems to be a determined lack of respect for adults and, by the end of The Cove, four bouncers were hired in addition to police presence as well as themselves. Councilwoman Myers said she thought the problem was caused by kids not being able to get in who then would get rowdy. Councilman Odierna said the garage space will accommodate 200, which is double what they used to have. There was then a further discussion on the type of music, the hours it would be open, the controlling of lights, and various other aspects of dance. The Board then convened an Executive Session to discuss litigation and personnel. February 2, 2005 CALL TO ORDER The regular meeting of the Town Board was called to order by Supervisor O'Keeffe at 8:30 PM. She then pointed out the location of exits. STATE OF THE TOWN MESSAGE — Town Supervisor As the Town of Mamaroneck enters the new year, 2005, 1 would like to present my annual State of the Town Message to look back at our accomplishments in 2004 and what is in store for the coming year. The theme of the Town government and our basic mission does not change from year to year. Simply stated we must find ways to maintain and improve the high quality of life expected by the residents. Citizens Survey Of course, how to maintain and improve the quality of life in the community is always a big question for the Town to answer. So this past summer we conducted a citizen's survey of residents in the unincorporated area. We last surveyed our residents back in 1992. In the survey we asked residents to rate our Town services and asked questions regarding service levels and alternate means of funding the government because of the concern over property tax levels. With a survey response rate of 29% which is considered excellent the Town received an overall approval rating of 80% for the services provided. Aside from the excellent response to the survey we were pleased to see the large number of responses that included written comments. The written comments were valuable to the survey process and were evidence of the time taken to respond to the survey. The survey told us that residents would like to see a greater investment in the repair of our roads and sidewalks. Also the survey indicated that the vast majority of residents prefer the current levels of service even if a reduction in taxes would be realized by reducing those services. Finally even with all the discussion of property tax levels residents felt the Town property tax was the best funding mechanism for municipal services. Surveying the community from time to time is a good way for us to gauge reaction to our services and develop strategies for future planning. I want to thank all the residents that responded to our survey. 2 February 2, 2005 Legislative Highlights One response to the opinions and concerns of the community is the development and adoption of legislation meant to improve various aspects of life in the Town of Mamaroneck. In 2004 the Town focused its legislative efforts on the environment and land use planning. With so little property left in the Town to develop, property owners now endeavor to build on properties that some years ago were less desirable because of the amount of rock on the property. As a result some of our neighborhoods became distressed by extensive and noisy rock removal activities. Although the right to develop the property cannot be denied, the Town can establish rules governing rock removal. In 2004 the Town adopted legislation governing the removal of rock from property. The law sets forth criteria for rock removal and sets up time frames in which rock removal must be completed. With this legislation in place the often intrusive activity of rock removal will create a better balance between the needs of the builder and the neighborhood. We also considered development within our commercial areas and looked to find ways of assuring a more consistent appearance in our commercial area. This led to the adoption of the Design Requirements Law. With the help of our Planning Board and Board of Architectural Review we created a set of design guidelines to be used by commercial property owners. For the first time the Planning Board and Board of Architectural Review will be able to work from a uniform set of guidelines intended to improve the quality of the appearance of our commercial districts. We also considered the state of our environment this past year with the adoption of legislation that will limit the amount of time vehicles may idle their engines. There has been movement lately on the local level to address this problem. Idling vehicles are a significant cause of air pollution so now with this law our Police Department and code enforcement personnel have a mechanism to enforce the problem of idling vehicles. Two other pieces of legislation that the Town Board has been working on but not yet adopted also have to do with land use planning. The first is legislation to improve the way in which residents are notified of proposed construction in the Town. Known as the Notification Law, property owners will be required to post a modest sign on their property identifying the fact that the owner has applied to 3 February 2, 2005 the Town for some form of land use permit. We will also continue to mail notices to nearby residents and place postings on the Town's website. We plan to adopt this legislation soon. The other land use legislation on the docket is rezoning along the Boston Post Road. Although it has been some time since we began a review of the zoning along the Boston Post Road the time has been well spent considering all of the implications of the proposal. We have considered the question of whether residential use should be introduced on Boston Post Road to limit the intensity which retail commercial use brings to the area. However with a small number of parcels left to develop there are questions of how effective such a zoning change might be. We will continue to work on this project in 2005 Forest City Daly While on the topic of land use I do want to talk for a moment on the issue of the residential development proposed at Madison Ave by Forest City Daly Rattner. By now most of the community knows that back in 2001 the Town received a proposal to construct a multi-family residential building at Madison Avenue. For all of us here in the Town this proposal has been at the forefront of our work agenda for many reasons. If constructed it will be a significant addition to the Town of Mamaroneck and knowing that we have worked hard to make certain all of the impacts have been addressed. We also know that a project such as this not only affects the Town but its neighbors as well. Therefore we have worked to make certain that the Village of Larchmont and City of New Rochelle have had the opportunity to review and comment on the proposal. In our deliberations we have impressed upon the developer that a proposal such as this needs to bring benefit to the Town in order to receive serious consideration. Where impacts have been identified we expect the developer to explain how the impacts will be minimized. At this point the Town is completing the environmental review process. Just two weeks ago the town accepted the Final Environmental Impact Statement for the project. The acceptance of the FEIS does not signify an approval of the project but rather confirms that the developer has provided satisfactory answers to questions raised by both the Town and the public in regards to the impacts of the project. It will now be the Town Board's job to review and make findings on the environmental review. Certainly there will be more opportunities for the public to weigh in on this proposal. 4 February 2, 2005 Budget and Finance One of the Town's more critical functions is to provide for the careful and practical management of the financial resources generated from the property taxes that all of us pay to the Town. In the last month we completed the preparation of the budget for 2005. The plan does call for a property tax increase in 2005 but the increase insures the continuation of all current services and also provides sufficient contingencies for unexpected events. In 2004 the Town issued general obligation bonds for several capital projects and again Moody's Investors service confirmed the Town's AAA bond rating, the highest rating for local governments. Using Moody's own words, "the bond rating is an indication of sound financial management, ample reserves, conservative budgeting practices and low debt position". In addition the Town's high property values work to provide a stable environment for the operation of the Town government. Also in the area of budget and finance we will join with several neighboring communities to again consider the matter of property revaluation. While always a controversial issue, the negative effects of maintaining the status quo are becoming more obvious. This past year the Town realized an overall reduction in property assessments as a result of commercial tax appeals. Our inability to effectively defend these tax appeals is in large part due to our failure to regularly update property assessment data. We also continue to face the problem of unequal apportionment of property taxes on residential properties. Therefore with our neighboring communities we will evaluate whether a cooperative effort towards revaluation can be effective. Finally in the area of budget and finance I want to touch upon the issue of water and the cost to provide it in the community. For the first time since 1997, the Town of Mamaroneck in 2004 was forced to raise water consumption rates. The rate increase was driven by several factors; the increasing cost to purchase water from New York City, maintenance and operation of an aging infrastructure, and compliance with environmental regulations. The challenge of continuing to provide low cost water will be difficult. The Westchester Joint Water Works, of which the Town is a member, is confronting the issue of water filtration. Federal and State government agencies are attempting to mandate that the WJWW construct a water filtration plant. Even though the WJWW does not believe filtration is necessary at this time we have been forced to prepare for this 5 February 2, 2005 possibility. If forced to provide for water filtration the cost will be significant. The Town's share alone of such a project is over$7M. This project will be the topic of much discussion in the next year and we hope to convince the regulatory agencies that such a large expenditure is not necessary. Capital Projects Aside from our water transmission system, the Town was busy this past year upgrading our capital infrastructure and facilities to meet the needs of the community. In 2004 we reconstructed two of our more important facilities, the Public Works Garage and the Volunteer Ambulance Corps Building. Although this facility is somewhat obscure and not often apparent to the residents the public works garage is critical to several of our important activities including vehicle repair, snow removal, and garbage collection. Last renovated in 1962 the building was in need of expansion to meet the new demands of our highway department and the increased size of our equipment. The facility now includes a more state of the art repair facility that will allow the Town to conduct more in house repairs at a lower cost. In 2004 we also opened the new headquarters building for the Larchmont Mamaroneck Volunteer Ambulance Corps. With the new building now on line we can deliver emergency medical service more effectively with the building's updated communication systems and training facilities. In addition new living quarters create a better environment for our paramedics and EMTS that must remain on duty during the overnight period. During this past year and also on the 2005 capital project agenda is a project to address one of our more important natural resources, the Gardens Lake. Aside from serving as a beautiful passive park the Gardens Lake serves an important component for flood control, and controlling water quality for the downstream sections of the Sheldrake River. Over the years upstream development has caused the lake to be burdened with sediment. Aside from its unsightly appearance the sediment reduces the flood control value of the lake. Therefore knowing the lakes value beyond the borders the Town, the County of Westchester was able to procure grant funds that will enable us to improve the Gardens Lake. This past year a sedimentation basin was constructed at the lake to catch sediment flowing in the Sheldrake River. With the basin in place we should be able to significantly reduce the amount of sediment that enters the lake 6 February 2, 2005 thus expanding the time interval for dredging. In 2005 we plan to dredge the lake and make improvements to the overall appearance of the park. Many thanks are due to the County and its staff for their efforts on this project. With the help of a grant from the Federal government the Town will, in 2005, complete the Boston Post Road streetscape project. Working at the southern end of the Boston Post Road near the New Rochelle border, the Town will construct new sidewalks, install new lighting and generally improve this section of the Boston Post Road. In addition we will use the opportunity of working in this section of Town to carry out sidewalk, curb and road improvements in the Dillon Park section of the Town which is adjacent to the Boston Post Road. Also on the agenda for capital projects in 2005 is consideration of the installation of a sprayground at the Hommocks Pool. This water-based playground offers some variety to our offerings at the Hommocks pool especially for toddlers and young children. This year we will conduct a feasibility analysis for this project. With our emphasis on the environment we will experiment for the first time with the use of a hybrid fuel vehicle. Plans are in place to purchase a hybrid SUV that will use both gasoline and electric power. If successful this purchase will likely set the stage for other similar equipment purchases. In addition to the environmental benefits this type of vehicle will use less fuel and save money. In cooperation with the Village of Larchmont, and Village of Mamaroneck the Town has submitted a grant application for the funding of a geographic information system better known as GIS. A GIS system is a sophisticated computerized data base of maps, infrastructure features, and property features that offers innumerable opportunities to improve municipal services. Virtually every municipal department can use this data to for such things as infrastructure repair and maintenance, emergency response, disaster planning, solid waste collection and snow removal. If our application is successful we can look forward to having the first phases of the project in place by the fall of 2005. The last project I want to mention is the new kiosk under construction at the corner of Myrtle Boulevard and North Chatsworth Avenue. Some of you may remember the old kiosk as the site of Blind Joes that more recently had been used as a satellite police station for the Washington Square Area. We will soon complete the construction of the new kiosk and bring back the evening walking police post to the area. But in addition the kiosk will be used as a satellite Town 7 February 2, 2005 office. While we are still working on the final details, the plan is to have the kiosk open at specific times to allow residents to pick up land use applications, parking permits, recreation permit applications, garbage collection schedules and other Town forms at this convenient location. We hope that the satellite office will make our services more accessible to the community. This concludes my remarks this evening. The Town Board and I will be busy in 2005 as we consider how better to serve all of our residents. We have in place an effective governmental structure that provides for a thoughtful deliberation amongst the Town Board members and the staff to develop new and successful ways of delivering municipal services. I want to thank my fellow board members for their hard work and I also thanks to the staff of the Town. Their individual expertise is critical to the functioning of the Town government. Finally thanks go to our residents for their comments and opinions that help shape how we do business here at the Town.

She said it was good that the sediment basin was put in at the Garden's Lake at the end of the year. She also asked about extending the path at the back of the lake. Councilmembers Seligson and Odierna both suggested the people in the area should talk with each other on what they would like to see. Councilwoman Wittner said we should remember it's a Town-owned lake, not just for the neighbors. Supervisor O'Keeffe said she received a letter commending the Highway Department for doing a good job with the snow. Councilwoman Myers said she had also heard from many people regarding how good a job was done. COUNCIL REPORTS Councilman Odierna said he had a wonderful time at the Ice Rink during the celebration of the 30th anniversary. Hundreds of people attended. The music was spectacular. He also attended a meeting on January 25 of the Summit at the Nautilus Diner where there were representatives from "everybody". He attended the Library Budget meeting and suggested that more people start taking out their DVD's, which are available free. 13 February 2, 2005 Councilwoman Wittner attended Coastal Zone Management Commission on January 25 where they discussed four referrals. One was for a Mercedes Benz dealership where Saturn is currently located. She attended Liswic, the group that purchased signs for the storm drains. They will be put on the drains by volunteers. If anyone is interested in helping, she suggested they call Liz Paul, Conservation Coordinator for the Town. Councilwoman Myers thanked the Supervisor for the State of the Town Address. She said it was impressive to see all the work this Board has accomplished. Revaluation is in continuing discussions with the different municipalities as it is up to each of them. There is a concern an imbalance could occur if one revalues and another doesn't. She also went to the 30th Anniversary Party at the Ice Rink. It was a great day. She attended BAR where they reviewed Mercedes Benz, and there was a request by the BAR to look into the number of banks in Town. She was at the Firemen's Installation Dinner which was fantastic. Councilwoman Seligson went to the Board of Appeals meeting last week and thanked the Fire Department for the great food at the installation dinner. The Library Budget Meeting was interesting and informative. Supervisor Reports Supervisor O'Keeffe said Diane Courtney, Librarian and President of her organization, did a superb job as does the entire Library Board. ADJOURNMENT On motion of Councilwoman Wittner, seconded by Councilman Odierna, the meeting was unanimously adjourned into an Executive Session at 10:15 PM to discuss litigation.
