CALL TO ORDER
The Special Meeting of the Town Board was called to order by Supervisor O'Keeffe.
Councilwoman Seligson took this opportunity to brief the Board on the Zoning Board
Meeting of May 28.
Update - Construction of the Parking Deck by FCD Mamaroneck, LLC
The Board reviewed a memo prepared by Mr. Altieri in which the status of the
construction of the parking deck was reviewed. Since February the Town has been
reviewing the construction plans with the help of the structural engineering firm of
Grigg and Davis Engineers, P.C. The Board reviewed the full report by Grigg and Davis
Engineers as well as a report by Town staff. Two significant alterations, one being an
upgrade to the steel beams, another, the water proofing of the deck, have been
incorporated into the construction plans; however, in doing the approval and bid
processes have been delayed.
Brian Oos, of FCD Mamaroneck, LLC, is requesting an extension to begin construction
of the parking deck as of July 14, 2008. Mr. Altieri stated that although the review
process has taken longer than expected, it has been a worthwhile process. Since the
parking deck will become part of the Town's infrastructure it is important that the
construction methods and materials used are of a quality that provide a longer life.
It is the recommendation of the Town Administrator that the Town approve the
extension of time to FCD Mamaroneck, LLC, by amending the Contract of Sale.
On motion of Councilman Odierna, seconded by Councilman Fishman, the following
was approved:
WHEREAS, on April 2, 2008, the Town Board adopted a resolution which, among
other things, authorized the Town Administrator to execute the First Amendment
to the Contract of Sale between the Town of Mamaroneck and FCD Mamaroneck,
LLC on behalf of the Town; and
WHEREAS, under the First Amendment to the Contract of Sale, construction of
the parking deck above Parking Lot#3 was scheduled to begin on June 2, 2008;
and
WHEREAS, in order to improve the quality of the construction, the Town insisted
that certain additions or changes be made to the building plans for the parking
deck that were submitted to the Town's building department by the FCD
Mamaroneck, LLC; and
1
May 29, 2008
WHEREAS, the changes demanded by the Town required the FCD Mamaroneck,
LLC to alter the building plans and consequently has made it impossible for the
construction of the parking deck above Parking Lot#3 to begin on June 2, 2008;
and
WHEREAS, construction of the parking deck above Parking Lot#3 can begin on
July 14, 2008; and
WHEREAS, the SECOND AMENDMENT TO THE CONTRACT OF SALE pushes
back the date for the commencement of the construction of the parking deck to
July 14, 2008 and the date for the completion of the parking deck to April 1, 2009
but makes no other substantive changes to the contract between the Town and
FCD Mamaroneck, LLC;
THEREFORE, on the motion of Councilman Odierna, seconded by Councilman
Fishman, it was
RESOLVED that the Town Administrator is authorized and directed to execute the
SECOND AMENDMENT TO THE CONTRACT OF SALE between the Town of
Mamaroneck and FCD Mamaroneck, LLC, on behalf of the Town.
ADJOURNMENT
On motion of Councilman Fishman, seconded by Councilman Odierna, the meeting
was unanimously adjourned.
