Fishman ALSO PRESENT: Christina Battalia, Town Clerk Stephen V. Altieri, Town Administrator William Maker, Jr., Town Attorney WORK SESSION Safe Routes to School Program Kim Larson, coordinator of the Safe Routes to School Infrastructure Committee, addressed the Board. She gave a brief update on the program which included news that the program received none of the grant monies applied for. In light of this, the Safe Routes to School Infrastructure Committee is seeking Town help in establishing a sidewalk in front of Hommocks School on the Blockbuster side of the road. The question of how or whom would fund this project was discussed. The Board asked Mr. Altieri to clarify who owns the property where the sidewalk is being proposed and to report back to the Board. Collection of Taxes/School Tax Bills Mr. Altieri reported that an error has occurred in the issuing of the 2008/2009 tax bills. The error was caused by confusion in the States correspondence regarding the STAR calculations. The tax bills were sent out with an incorrect STAR exemption. The Board discussed ways to rectify the situation with the least amount of confusion while maintaining the property legalities. A discussion between the NYS Office of Real Property Service (ORPS) the Town and the Mamaroneck School District, is scheduled for Friday September 19th. At that time, the Town will have a better understanding of how to proceed. Budget Related Items The Board discussed a general budget philosophy, and how that should be best presented to the Department Heads. Consolidation Data Collection At the October 1St Work Session, the Board will receive and review the consolidation data collected. Mr. Altieri will contact Larchmont Trustee James Millstein to inform him of what the Town has accomplished and receive a timeframe from him, for receiving the Village's data. Revaluation The Board was updated on the recent meeting Supervisor O'Keeffe, Councilman Fishman and Mr. Altieri had with Executive Director, Lee Kyriacou, of the New York State Office of Real Property Services Lower Hudson. He was able to provide a lot of information; it was a very informative meeting. At the November 5th Town Board 2 SEPTEMBER 17, 2008 Meeting, the Village of Larchmont and Mamaroneck will be present for a presentation by Frey Consulting Services. Police and Fire The Board would like to see a report from the Police Chief regarding trends over the last year or two. He will be invited to an upcoming Work Session. The Board briefly discussed the difference between a Fire District, which has a Fire Council, versus a Police Department which is a Department within the Town Administration. Train Station Stairwell Mr. Altieri stated that one piece of the stairwell went up today, the remainder tomorrow. Next week the electrical and roof will be completed. The stairs should be up and running by the end of the September target date. Pryer Manor Road Sewer Mr. Altieri explained that currently there are four homes on Pryer Manor Road that are not connected to the Sanitary Sewer System and utilize septic systems for their sanitary sewage. The owners at 20 and 22 Pryer Manor Road have requested permission to connect to the sewer system. In order to proceed the Town would need to grant easements to the property owners to install pipes in the Town's right of way. The Board asked Mr. Altieri and Mr. Maker to move forward with the drafting of the easements for review at the next work session. Village Square Parking Lot Councilwoman Seligson attended the Planning Board Meeting at which the Board discussed a proposed special permit application for a Rita's Ice Cream Store in the Village Square Shopping Center. It was noted that correspondence has been received with respect to requiring a sidewalk as part of the Special Permit Application. Councilwoman Seligson noted that the Planning Board did refer this to the Traffic Committee. Resolution — Planning Board Lot Coverage The Town Board has received from the Planning Board their Resolution dated September 10, 2008 regarding the proposed amendment to the Zoning Code. The Zoning Board of Appeals identified an inconsistency within the zoning code with respect to the definition of lot coverage and the treatment of patios, decks, terraces, etc. The Town Board referred the Amendment of the Zoning Code to the Planning Board for an opinion. The Town Board reviewed the Planning Board's resolution and memorandum outlining the Planning Board's opinion and proposed changes. There continues to be discussion among the Town Board and the Planning Board with respect to these amendments. What is not at issue, is the amendment that clarifies an inconsistency in the law with respect to steps and their platforms permitted in the front and side yards but prohibited in the rear yard. The Board would like to move forward with this particular amendment while discussion is still taking place regarding the additional amendments. Mr. Maker will have a Proposed Local Law for the October 1St Town Board Meeting. On motion of Supervisor O'Keeffe, seconded by Councilwoman Seligson, the Board unanimously agreed to enter into Executive Session to discuss Contract of Sale, Negotiation of an Easement and Employment History. 3 SEPTEMBER 17, 2008 EXECUTIVE SESSION Contract of Sale Negotiation of an Easement Employment History 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.

Boston Post Road, Mamaroneck, New York to consider the adoption of a local law entitled "Moratorium on the Installation of Large Propane Tanks" Law. Purpose Over the Memorial Day weekend, a leaking underground propane tank was detected. Due to the professionalism of the Town's personnel, the propane tank was emptied and the leaking gas burned off without injury either to person or property. If this corrective action had not been taken, the tank may have exploded and caused damage not only to the home on which the tank was installed but to neighboring properties and people as well. Because of the poor condition of the tank, it took over 24 hours for the gas to be burned off. Throughout this time, Town personnel were required to remain on site, causing the Town to incur thousands of dollars in overtime compensation. The cost would have been even higher had not so many of the responders been volunteers willing to sacrifice their time on a holiday weekend. This incident has alerted the Town Board to the necessity of examining the use of propane and other hazardous substances within the Town, and if warranted, developing regulations to control such use and a procedure for recovering the cost incurred by the Town for responding to the discharge of propane or other hazardous substances within the Town. In order to study the issue, the Town Board has determined that it is necessary to impose a moratorium upon the installation of propane tanks with a capacity for 50 or more pounds of propane. The full text of this Local law may be examined and copies obtained at the Town Clerk's office during regular hours (Monday through Friday, 8:30 AM to 4:30 PM, or until 4:00 PM during June, July and August) at 740 W. Boston Post Road Mamaroneck, New York. PLEASE TAKE FURTHER NOTICE that at the Public Hearing all persons interested will be given an opportunity to be heard and that all persons are invited to submit written comments at or prior thereto.
