Altieri, Town Administrator William Maker, Jr., Town Attorney Christina Battalia, Deputy Town Clerk Cindy Atiencia, Deputy Town Clerk ABSENT: Councilwoman Nancy Seligson WORK SESSION Need for Speed Relay for Domestic Violence The Town has received a request to use a small portion of Town roadways for the Avon Foundation's Need for Speed Relay to be held Sunday, June 10, 2007. On motion of Councilman Winick, seconded by Councilwoman Wittner, the following was approved WHEREAS, the Avon Foundation's Need for Speed Relay Against Domestic Violence is a unique running event that traverses approximately 50 miles through Westchester County. The relay consists of 9 legs with mileage varying between 4 - 9 miles and 8 designated transition areas for runners to "pass the baton." The anticipated participation is 125 teams with 6 -9 members per team. The total participation in the event will be approximately 1,000 runners, there will never be more than one person per team on the course and thus the impact on the roads will be significantly reduced. NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the Mamaroneck Town Board does hereby approve persons participating in the Avon Foundation's Need for Speed Relay Against Domestic Violence to access a route through the Town of Mamaroneck. Said route to begin at the entrance to the Town of Mamaroneck via Fifth Avenue, run down Fifth Avenue to Madison Avenue, turn onto Madison Avenue and run to Myrtle Boulevard, turn onto Myrtle Boulevard and run to Chatsworth Avenue, and then enter the Village of Larchmont by way of Chatsworth Avenue, and BE IT, FURTHER RESOLVED, that due to the small number of individuals passing through the Town and the short duration of the course there will be no need to engage any additional Town personnel. 2 APRIL 4, 2007 The above resolution was put to a roll call vote: Winick - Aye Seligson - Absent Odierna - Aye Wittner - Aye O'Keeffe - Aye Amendment to the Site Plan Law On the request of Councilwoman Wittner, the Board is being asked to review the Zoning Law as it pertains to height and bulk of residential homes. Arthur Wexler, Chairman of the Zoning Board of Appeals, addressed the Board with an explanation of current Zoning Law which states that a building shall be no higher than 35 feet to a flat roof or mid point of an eve and ridge. Mr. Wexler demonstrated to the Board how height is currently determined and how, if amended, it could minimize the potential overall bulk of residential homes. It was determined that if the Board would like to reduce the bulk of homes then the law must redefine height. It was agreed that the next step was to do a comparison of other communities and how they determine height. Mr. Wexler would do the comparisons and report back to the Board. Coastal Zone Management Commission (CZMC) - letter to Planning Board As part of a letter sent by the CZMC to the Planning Board they are requesting site plan reviews for all "tear downs" in the Town. It was decided that the Town Attorney would evaluate the current law and present his findings to the Board. Supervisor O'Keeffe stated that if there is a "tear down" it should go before the Board of Architectural Review. There was discussion regarding what exactly the site plan review would be looking at. It was decided that Councilwoman Wittner would follow up with the CZMC and confirm exactly what the issue(s) are that they are concerned about. The Town Board will be meeting with the Planning Board on April 19; at that time the Town Attorney will have some information that can be used for discussion. Letter from Sound Waters The Town is being requested to have a role in the upcoming Sound Harbors week in early June. The Town of Mamaroneck is being selected, along with other communities, because of their continued stewardship of the Long Island Sound. The Town Board decided to accept their invitation to have a further discussion regarding the Town's participation in this activity. The Sound Waters Schooner will be in Mamaroneck harbor and available to the Town for excursion to bring people out on the Sound. Letter from David DeSanto, 450 Weaver Street Mr. DeSanto would like to have a further discussion with the Town Board regarding the concept of giving property owners tax incentives for mitigating flooding issues on their properties, and penalties for those who do not. The Board noted that if Mr. DeSanto wished, he was free to bring his ideas before the Town Board. Residential Parking District-Washington Square The Board was presented with draft legislation for the creation of a Special Parking District in the Washington Square Area. Mr. Altieri recently spoke with Assemblyman George Latimer who encouraged the Town to move quickly in order to have legislation passed by the Legislature this spring. It was agreed that Mr. Altieri would forward the legislation to George Latimer's office. Proposed changes to Parking Fines Mr. Altieri explained that the current fines reviewed at the last work session were incorrect. An updated list was reviewed and the Board made further proposed changes for a Public Hearing on April 18, 2007. Mr. Gilliams, 21 Dillon Road Supervisor O'Keeffe stated that Mr. Gilliams had e-mailed her regarding his recent meeting with Mr. Altieri and Mr. Maker. The Board discussed the request made by Mr. Gilliams to rename his street Premium River Road extension. He feels that when 3 APRIL 4, 2007 Premium River Road was renamed Dillon Road, the portion known as Premium River Road Extension was not addressed.
