THE TOWN OF MAMARONECK HELD ON MARCH 21, 2007 AT

WORK SESSION
Cablevision
Councilman Winick reported that the letter written by Larchmont Mamaroneck Cable TV
Board to Cablevision was "off the table". The intent of the letter was to put pressure on
Cablevision who has been unwilling to negotiate. Cablevision is functioning with an
expired franchise. Any franchise negotiated with Verizon would be across the board.
Councilman Winick stated that a new agreement has been created by Joe VanEaton of
Ashpaugh & Sculco. Councilwoman Seligson noted that Emily Spaulding had requested
that the Town formulate a resolution that would speed up Verizon. She would add this
item to the agenda for April 4.
Letter from Mr. Lienau, 3 Lakeside Drive
The Board discussed the contents of Mr. Lienau's letter regarding his concerns with
Larchmont Garden's Lake. The Board noted that residents need to be reminded that the
project for the Lake was being facilitated with grant monies. Mr. Altieri stated that if this
were a dredging project the Town would not have received this grant; this project was not
meant to address flooding. The Board discussed the points of Mr. Lienau's letter in detail
and agreed that Mr. Altieri would write a response to Mr. Lienau.
Parking Fines
The Board discussed the current fines for Town parking violations. There was agreement
that fines were too low. The Board made recommendations for increases that will be
drafted into a local law and set for a Public Hearing at the next Town Board meeting.
Illuminated Sign Law
The Board reviewed the proposed Local Law as written by Mr. Maker. Councilwoman
Seligson recommended the Board reconsider the total ban on the use of neon. There was
discussion regarding how the use of neon could be regulated without a total ban. Mr.
Maker reminded the Board of the original intent of the law. Mr. Maker would draft a new
version of the law including the Board's recommendations and will have it reviewed by
the Board of Architectural Review prior to the Public Hearing on April 4.
Elmcroft Estates Subdivision
At issue is the way in which sanitary sewage will be handled for the new homes being
built at the Elmcroft Estates Subdivision. Two alternatives were explored, a single pump
station or individual sewer ejection pumps in each home. The Town objects to the use of
a single pump station as the Town has tried to avoid their use in the Town sewer system.
The second option, the use of individual pumps, was submitted to the Westchester
County Department of Health for approval. Their approval is conditional upon the Town
having some involvement in the emergency replacement of homeowner's pumps. This
1
MARCH 21, 2007
condition involves the Town making available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week a spare
pump, purchased by the homeowner, to be stored on Town property.
Supervisor O'Keeffe strongly objected to the proposal, as did other Board members.
There was discussion involving Town liability as well as the repercussions for the Town
not agreeing to the Department of Health conditions. It was agreed that the Town
Administrator would contact the Department of Health with the Town's objection.
Update- Larchmont Village Water Line Project
Steve Altieri stated that he and Superintendent of Highways, Marco Gennarelli, attended a
meeting with the Village of Larchmont officials and the Village's consulting engineers. It
was explained that the Village of Larchmont is considering an alternate replacement plan
for their 50 year old water main currently running over the thruway at Chatsworth Ave.
The preferred method, although the most costly, is to run the main under the thruway.
This involves the use of the Town parking lot#1 where the new parking deck will be
located. Village engineers will be conducting soil samples to determine subsurface soil
conditions. Supervisor O'Keeffe was most concerned about timing, and how it could
impact the building of the new parking deck. Supervisor O'Keeffe was also concerned
that the soil boring could disturb the soil and create a potential problem for the building of
the deck. It was agreed that Mr. Altieri would get more information from the Village and
report back to the Board.
Housing Authority
Currently two Town employees, a husband and wife, residing at the Hommocks
Apartments have a gross income that exceeds the requirements as specified by Town
policy. It was noted that Town employees are not bound by County income requirements.
It was determined that the median for Town of Mamaroneck employees should be raised
to a level not to exceed $115,000. It was further determined that the Housing Authority
should formulate a policy for Town Employees.
Human Rights Commission
Supervisor O'Keeffe spoke with an individual referred by Mr. Maker as a possible member
of the Human Rights Commission. That individual would consider the appointment and
get back to the Supervisor.
On motion made and seconded, the Board convened into an Executive Session to discuss
Personnel and Litigation.
CALL TO ORDER
The regular meeting of the Town Board was called to order by Supervisor O'Keeffe at
8:35 PM. She then pointed out the location of exits.

REPORT OF COUNCIL
Councilman Winick attended the Traffic Committee meeting on April 13, the major topic
are concerns at Murray Ave School with regard to parking along Damon Terrace. The area
was inspected by the Fire Chief, Police Chief, local officials and the Traffic Committee. It
has been determined that there is an inability to get emergency vehicles down Damon
Terrace during school hours. The recommendation of the Traffic Committee is a ban on
parking along one side of Damon Terrace. There are possible parking replacement
options that the School Board and PTA will need to address. Councilman Winick noted
the Traffic Committee took no action regarding the request for overnight parking on
Laurel Ave.
Councilwoman Seligson attended the Zoning Board of Appeals meeting on April 6. The
D.A.R.E. graduation on March 3, also attended by Supervisor O'Keeffe, Councilwoman
Wittner and Councilman Odierna, was very successful. The Town Board had an all day
meeting on March 3rd. She attended the Westchester County Global Warming Task Force,

programs.
