CALL TO ORDER-WORK SESSION

unanimously opened at S:OOPM.
Dog Shelter Agreement
The Board reviewed a memo from the Town Clerk outlining her discussions with New York State Agriculture
and Markets and with representatives of Pet Rescue. Pet Rescue does not appear to be a viable option for
a Shelter Agreement. The Town Clerk has received very unfavorable comments regarding the Mount
Vernon Shelter,so that appears to not be an option as well. Mr.Altieri and Ms. Battalia will once again
approach the New Rochelle Humane Society to discuss a fee reduction.
Town Fees—Building Department, Highway Department and Town Clerk Department
The Board discussed the fees for the Building, Highway and Town Clerk Departments. The Town Board will
add this to the February 16 Town Board Meeting.
The Board discussed correspondence from a parker in Lot#1,who feels the Town should address the
placement of parkers in the upper and lower decks. In fairness,there should be a reshuffling of upper and
lower deck parkers.The Board would like to know how many requests are received during the new parking
season and if need be, make adjustments for the following year.
Added Item
Councilman Odierna asked the Board to consider moving the public dialogue to the beginning of the Town
Board Meetings. Supervisor O'Keeffe said there is already a precedent that if asked a resident may speak
in the beginning of the meeting. Other Board members felt that the Town's obligation is to address the
business of the Town first.
On motion of Councilman Odierna,it was put forth that the Board allow for citizen participation not to
exceed two minutes at the beginning of each Town Board Meeting. There was no second in turn motion
was not carried.

on the Boston Post Road between Hommocks School and Mamaroneck High School.The Committee is
working with Assemblyman George Latimer's Office to create a School Zone in this area. In order to
proceed, Mr. Latimer's Office will need a letter of support from the Chief Elected Officials from the Town
and Villages.

The Board reviewed a memo from Mr.Altieri dated January 28, notifying the Town Board of the Town
Court's new program for on-line payment of parking tickets and outlining the program.This program will

ADJOURNED TO FEBRUARY 2,2011
PLEASE TAKE NOTICE,that a Public Hearing will be held by the Town Board of the Town of
Mamaroneck on Wednesday, February 2,2011 at 8:00 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 Repealing the overnight parking restriction on the east side of Washington Square.
Purpose:
Currently overnight parking is prohibited on the east side of Washington Square. When the
parking restriction was put in place it was to ensure the accessibility of emergency equipment.
2
February 2, 2011
With the change in the size of fire apparatus, the Fire Department is now able to operate on
Washington Square with cars parked on both sides.Therefore,the recommendation is that the
overnight parking restriction on the east side of Washington Square be repealed to allow
overnight parking between 3:OOAM and 6:OOAM.
The full text of this Local Law may be examined and copies obtained at the Town Clerk's office
during regular hours, Monday- Friday, 8:30 AM to 4:30 PM, In June,July and August until 4:00

TOWN CLERK
Published: January 17,2011
On motion of Councilwoman Wittner,seconded by Councilman Fishman,the Public Hearing was
unanimously opened.
Mr. Maker explained the proposed Local Law as written.
Supervisor O'Keeffe asked if anyone wished to comment on the proposed Local Law.
Arthur Math, 1 Washington Square addressed the Board in favor of this Law,as did Richard Zoffness also
of 1 Washington Square.
The Board noted that this has been pressing for some time,adding the addition of these 12 or so spaces
is significant.
On motion of Councilwoman Wittner,seconded by Councilman Fishman,the Public Hearing was
unanimously closed.
On motion of Councilwoman Wittner,seconded by Councilwoman Seligson,it was
RESOLVED,that the Mamaroneck Town Board finds that the adoption of the proposed
local law"Elimination of the Restriction on Overnight Parking on Washington Square"is
hereby declared to be a Type II Action,with no impact under the New York State
Environmental Quality Review Act(SEQRA)and requiring no further action.
On motion of Councilwoman Wittner,seconded by Councilman Fishman,the following Local Law was
approved:
Local Law No. 1-2011
This local law shall be known as the "Elimination Of The Restriction On
Overnight Parking On Washington Square" Law.
BE IT ENACTED by the Town Board of the Town of Mamaroneck
Section 1—Purpose:
Currently overnight parking on the east side of Washington Square is
prohibited. That prohibition was instituted because the Fire Department had
determined that due to size, its apparatus could not traverse Washington Square if
motor vehicles were parked on both sides of the street. The Fire Department's
current apparatus does not require as much room for maneuvering. Hence the
premise for the restriction on parking no longer exists. Since there is a need for on-
3
February 2, 2011
street parking in this area of Town,the Town Board finds that removing the restriction
on overnight parking on the east side of Washington Square is in the best interest of
the Town.
Section 2—Removal of Restriction on Parking on the east side of Washington Square:
The restriction on overnight parking on the east side of Washington Square is
repealed and motor vehicles shall be allowed to park on the east side of Washington
Square at all times.
Section 3—Sign(s)to be Erected and Painting to be Done:
An appropriate sign or signs shall be erected on and/or above, and/or striping
shall be painted on the surface of east side of Washington Square indicating where
parking is allowed by this law.
Section 4—Severability:
Should any provision of this Local Law be declared invalid or unconstitutional
by any court of competent jurisdiction, such declaration of unconstitutionality or
invalidity shall not affect any other provisions of this Local Law, which may be
implemented without the invalid or unconstitutional provisions.
Section 5—Effective Date:
This Local Law shall become effective upon filing with the Secretary of State.
PUBLIC HEARING—"Amendment to the Tree Law Regarding Lot Size" Law
The following Notice of Public Hearing is entered into the record as follows:
NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING
RESCHEDULED TO JANUARY 26, 2011
ADJOURNED TO FEBRUARY 2,2011
PLEASE TAKE NOTICE,that a Public Hearing will be held by the Town Board of the Town of
Mamaroneck on Wednesday, February 2,2011 at 8:00 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 "Amendment to the Tree Law
regarding lot size" Law.
Purpose:
The current law regarding the removal of trees applies only to lots which exceed 20,000
square feet in size. The Town Board finds that trees on lots of any size are valuable
natural resources which should be protected. Accordingly this local law removes the
exemption which lots that are 20,000 square feet or less in size currently have.
The full text of this Local Law may be examined and copies obtained at the Town Clerk's
office during regular hours, Monday- Friday,8:30 AM to 4:30 PM, In June,July and August
until 4:00 PM 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.

Councilwoman Wittner asked that this Public Hearing be adjourned as the Board has not had enough time
in Work Session to discuss this. Councilwoman Wittner would also like the Board to invite an arborist to
attend a Public Hearing,as well as a Work Session. Councilwoman Wittner feels the focus should be on
preserving significant species.

this issue.
Councilman Fishman was in favor of voting on this Law,adding there is no assumption that the Board will
rewrite the existing Law at all.Councilman Fishman stated this is a case of searching for a reason to change
a Law.
On motion of Councilman Fishman,seconded by Councilwoman Wittner,the Public Hearing was
unanimously opened.
George Roniger addressed the Board. Mr. Roniger stated he is in favor of the proposed amendment. Mr.
Roniger spoke affectionately about the wooded area adjacent to his home and how his neighbors would be
very upset if it were clear cut. Mr. Roniger emphasized that the Town has Zoning Laws because the Town
knows that what our neighbors build affects us directly—for that reason he supports this Law.
Supervisor O'Keeffe feels this Law restricts residents who have bought their property in good faith.
Supervisor O'Keeffe stated that nothing as intrusive as this has been passed during her time as an elected
official.
On motion of Councilman Fishman,seconded by Councilwoman Wittner,it was unanimously
RESOLVED,that the Town Board does hereby withdraw the"Amendment to the Tree
