MINUTES OF THE REGULAR MEETING OF THE TOWN BOARD OF THE
TOWN OF MAMARONECK HELD ON JUNE 7, 2006 AT 8:15 PM IN THE
COURT ROOM OF THE TOWN, 740 W. BOSTON POST ROAD,
MAMARONECK, NEW YORK
PRESENT:

Councilwoman Nancy Seligson
Councilman Paul A. Winick
ALSO PRESENT:
Patricia A. DiCioccio, Town Clerk
Stephen V. Altieri, Town Administrator

Cindy Atiencia, Deputy Town Clerk
Work Session
The meeting was called to order at 5:10 PM.
Country Road Residents
There was a contingent of resident from Country Road who were here to protest a proposal to
build cluster housing in the Village of Mamaroneck which borders their property in the Town.
Gary Hirchberg said the Village Board will be sending this to their Planning Board and once that
happens there will be no stopping them, and cluster housing does not require a zoning change
nor is there any SEQRA process.
The Supervisor asked Mr. Maker about the proposal of the Village of Mamaroneck property which
abuts our residents, saying the application is to build 17 cluster housing units in an R6 Zone.
What could be built under present zoning.
Mr. Maker replied under conforming subdivisions, if we did it here, we could get it as a cluster
proposal which would trigger SEQRA. The Planning Board would designate themselves as lead
agency. It would be necessary then to address the safety and environmental issues. They would
make a determination whether it’s a negative declaration, if so then they would require a draft
environmental impact statement. A comment period would then be required.
Mr. Hirchberg asked if the Town could be advocates and to take an interest in this matter and the
infrastructure. We need to convince the Village of Mamaroneck not to allow cluster housing.
This is a flood zone and the problem goes back 25 years.
Supervisor O’Keefe said to the extent that this might have an adverse impact we will object and
comment. We have the right to write and ask them to address issues.
There was further discussion.
Illuminated Sign Law
Don Meeker had a poster with pictures he and Councilman Winick had taken of signs around the
Boston Post Road. He stated that signs do not need to be readable for more that 400-500 feet
away. Much of the lettering in these signs are way over scale. The BAR should look into this.
The façade sign should suffice and there is no need for signs on three sides. On menu signs,
there should be no more than three merchants. It has been difficult to solve when there are more
than that, therefore menu signs should be discouraged. He said there are a numerous issues of
maintenance around Town – as a condition of having a sign, maintenance should be required.
Also the sign should be linked to the color of the building.
Councilman Winick said he took his pictures at 9:00 to 10:00 at night when the businesses were
closed. It might make sense to require them to put in timers to have them turn off lit signs when
they close.

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.
PRESENTATION - Phase 2 Stormwater Annual Report
The Supervisor introduced Liz Paul, Environmental Planner.
Ms. Paul gave the following overview:
rd
I am here tonight to present the 3 annual report on the implementation of the town’s
storm water management program. Copies of the report are available on the town
website. I would like to give you an overview of the storm water management
program and go over some highlights of our accomplishments for the past year.
In the past the state and federal governments have regulated point source discharges
of pollutants into our water ways. These discharges are easily identifiable because
they typically come from an industrial plant, a manufacturer or even a municipal
sewage treatment plant. But even if we eliminate all of those points of pollution
completely our waterways would still be polluted.
Where is the rest of the pollution coming from - our streets, our parking lots and even
our front lawns are sources of pollution. Every time it rains, oil, grease, litter,
fertilizers, pesticides, pet waste and sediments wash along the streets, into the storm
drains and into our streams, rivers, ponds and long island sound.
The federal and state government is requiring local municipalities to reduce sources
of stormwater pollution by implementing a storm water management program over a
five year period. This program consists of six elements.
1. Education And Outreach
2. Public Involvement And Participation
3. Identifying + Eliminating Illicit Connections
4. Construction Site Stormwater Runoff Control
5. Post Construction Site Stormwater Runoff Control
6. Municipal Good Housekeeping Practices
3RD ANNUAL REPORT HIGHLIGHTS
a) PUBLIC EDUCATION AND OUTREACH
The Town has produced and distributed a variety of educational material. I brought
some examples of these which include a children’s fact sheet and book mark. These
have been distributed at local events, in the town center and at the kiosk on myrtle
blvd. We have also aired a video on LMC/TV, run articles in local papers and the town
newsletter.
b) PUBLIC INVOLVEMENT AND PARTICIPATION:
Over 65 volunteers have participated in the storm drain marking program. So far over
75 catch basins have been labeled. In addition, 20 girl scouts helped the town restore
native planting at the Hommocks conservation area and 10 volunteers helped collect
trash and debris at the local parks.
c) ILLICIT DISCHARGE DETECTION AND ELIMINATION
2
June 7, 2006
The town passed a local law that requires homeowners to obtain a discharge
compliance certificate prior to the sale of their home that certifies that there are no
illegal connections to the sanitary or storm sewer system. A brochure is available
with additional information. To date, approx. 45 discharge compliance certificates
have been issued.
d) PRE CONSTRUCTION & POST CONSTRUCTION STORMWATER RUNOFF
CONTROL
The Town requires all construction sites to use erosion control measures and
conducts routine inspections for compliance. In addition, stormwater detention is
required for all new impervious surfaces greater than 100 sq ft.
The State has created a model stormwater ordinance that isn’t as stringent as our own
local code. But, if the town does not adopt this model ordinance, minor changes to
our local law will be required. These changes include:
-requirements for routine inspection and maintenance of storm water
detention structures.
- The preparation of stormwater pollution prevention plans for projects
disturbing areas greater than 1 Acre and
- The use of the most current stormwater and erosion control manuals
e) MUNICIPAL GOOD HOUSEKEEPING
The Town is participating in a study of the feasibility of the creation of a stormwater
utility district. If created this district could assume the responsibility of maintenance
of the storm sewer system. The study will look at finding sources, organizational
requirements and staffing needs of such a district.
The Town has applied for grant funding for the conversion of existing stormwater
mapping to GIS format
A new sediment trap has been added garden lake and is cleaned twice each year. In
the future, after the town dredges the pond, the trap will prevent sediment from
entering the pond and will be less expensive to clean.
In summary the most effective way to reduce stormwater pollution and keep the
sound healthy for future generations is to curb our use of fertilizers and pesticides on
our lawns, fix leaks in our cars as soon as they are detected, clean up after our pets,
don’t litter and properly dispose of house hold hazardous waste. Remember if it’s on
the ground it’s in the sound
The Board members all thanked her for her report.
ADJOURNED HEARING - Special Permit Hearing – Forest City Residential
The Adjourned Public Hearing was adjourned to June 21, 2006
PUBLIC HEARINGS – Delegation of Emergency Powers – U.S Golf Open
PLEASE TAKE NOTICE, that a Public Hearing will be held by the Town Board of the Town
of Mamaroneck on Wednesday, June 7, 2006 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 “Second Amendment to Local
Law No. 7-2006 entitled ‘Parking Restrictions from June 12, 2006 to June 19, 2006 between
the hours of 6:00 A.M to 6:00 P.M. (prevailing time) within the vicinity of the Winged Foot
Golf Club” Law.
Purpose:
On May 3, the Town Board enacted Local Law No. 7-2006 to restrict parking,
2005,
standing and stopping on certain roads within the Town of Mamaroneck during the playing
of the U.S. Open golf tournament at the Winged Foot Golf Club. Local Law No. 7-2006
incorrectly catalogued the following seven streets: Doris Lane, Doris Road, Dudley Lane,
Fairway Drive, Old White Plains Road, Stonewall Lane and Well House Lane by including
3
June 7, 2006
them among the streets for which no parking will be allowed when they should have been
part of the streets where the parking, standing, stopping and the picking-up and
discharging of people will be prohibited. In addition Local Law No. 7-2006 omitted
Coventry Court and Rocky Hollow Drive even though parking should be prohibited on
those two streets during the U.S. Open golf tournament. This local law corrects these
errors made in Local Law No. 7-2006.
On motion made by Councilwoman Wittner, seconded by Councilman Winick, the Hearing was
unanimously opened.
The Supervisor asked if there were any comments. There were none.
Councilman Odierna said the rational approach to this is to fix a fine with no criminal penalty.
Councilman Winick agreed and said people should take this law to heart – it is going to be
enforced. There will be upwards of 50,000 people in our Town for the event; drop-off will be at
Carriage House Lane. A shuttle will take people from the Village of Mamaroneck train station and
there will be a pre-inspection by the US Open people.
On motion of Councilman Winick, seconded by Councilwoman Seligson, the public hearing was
closed.
On motion of Councilwoman Seligson, seconded by Councilwoman Wittner, the following was
unanimously adopted:
RESOLVED, that the Town Board finds that the adoption of the
proposed local law regarding “Second Amendment to Local Law
No. 7-2006 entitled ‘Parking Restrictions from June 12, 2006 to June
19, 2006 between the hours of 6:00 A.M to 6:00 P.M. (prevailing time)
within the vicinity of the Winged Foot Golf Club” is hereby declared
to be a Type II action, with no impact under the New York State
Environmental Quality Review Act (SEQRA)
On motion of Councilman Winick, seconded by Councilwoman Wittner, the local law was
adopted:
Local Law No. 10- 2006
This local law shall be known as the “Second Amendment to Local Law No. 7 – 2006 entitled
‘Parking Restrictions from June 12, 2006 to June 19, 2006 between the hours of 6:00 A.M to
6:00 P.M. (prevailing time) within the vicinity of the Winged Foot Golf Club” Law.

Local Law No. 7-2006 incorrectly catalogued the following seven streets: Doris Lane, Doris
Road, Dudley Lane, Fairway Drive, Old White Plains Road, Stonewall Lane and Well House
Lane by including them among the streets for which no parking will be allowed when they
should have been part of the streets where the parking, standing, stopping and the picking-

In addition Local Law No. 7-2006 omitted Coventry Court and Rocky Hollow Drive even
