2. Discussion - "Regulation of Solar Energy" Law
The Board discussed proposed changes to the "Regulation of Solar Energy" law,
including clarifying terms such as "residential site plan." Attorney Maker will make the
necessary adjustments and submit the revised version to the board for review.
3. Discussion - H2M Proposal for Design Development - 2025 Storm Sewer
Improvements
Administrator Robson introduced the proposal to initiate the project. Councilmember
King noted that the Board has worked with H2M previously and has been satisfied
with their services, expressing surprise that the cost is reasonable given the scope of
work. Councilmember Nichinsky appreciated that the subbasins are spread across
different areas of Town rather than concentrated in a single location.
Town Board
May 21, 2025
Councilmember Nambiar inquired whether any of the planned work would directly
impact residents, to which Administrator Robson responded that stakeholder
meetings will be held to address concerns. Councilmember Nambiar emphasized the
importance of clear and consistent communication with residents, particularly given
the critical nature of flooding issues. ZenCity was suggested for outreach but would
need to explore ways to use it effectively without conducting a formal survey.
Councilmember Nambiar reiterated that flooding is a major concern and stressed the
necessity of proactive and extensive communication with the community.
4. Discussion - 2025 Capital Budget Amendments
The proposed budget amendments included three key adjustments. The first
redirected $20,000 in unspent funds from the Rye Lake Turbid Curtain project back to
debt service. The second addressed a $3,700 shortfall for the Park Lane storage tank
project, based on revised estimates from Westchester Joint Water Works. The third
involved a reallocation of a $10,000 NYSERDA grant originally budgeted for
consultant services. The grant was ultimately approved for use toward the installation
of heat pumps at the Memorial Park sign shop, requiring a budget adjustment to
reflect the revised purpose.
5. Discussion - Donation to the Hommocks Ice Rink
Administrator Robson reported the New York Rangers and Benjamin Moore will
donate labor and materials to repaint the rink in June. The Town Administrator had
checked with the rink in Brewster, who had had the offer previously, and reported that
the experience had been extremely positive. The team will come in to repaint,
confirming whether the current colors will be retained. The ice is set to be redone this
year. The Board expressed enthusiasm about being selected for the initiative.
6. Discussion - Donation to the Town of Mamaroneck Senior Center
Administrator Robson confirmed that the $600 donation from the Woman's Club of
Larchmont is designated to support programming at the Senior Center. When
Councilmember Fiddelman inquired whether the funds would support a specific
program within the center, Councilmember Nambiar suggested exploring the
possibility of incorporating VR technology for senior engagement.
7. Discussion - Town Logo
Resident Minna Immerman attended the discussion on changing the Town logo.
Supervisor Elkind Eney stated that there are two proposals, both emphasizing public
engagement—one from Rich Bamberger and another from Anastasia Guadron.
Councilmember Nambiar questioned whether a logo change is necessary, noting that
there has not been a formal conversation about it and that it may be premature to
consider proposals. Supervisor Elkind Eney asked whether the Board would move
forward with one of the options.
Councilmember Nambiar raised concerns about the decision-making process, asking
who determines the logo choice. Supervisor Elkind Eney clarified that the Board votes
on it. Councilmember Nambiar emphasized the need for a discussion on what the
town aims to achieve with a new logo before considering proposals. Supervisor Elkind
Eney suggested conducting a public survey to gauge opinions before entering the
design phase.
Councilmember Nichinsky questioned what would happen if the majority of residents
opposed a change. Supervisor Elkind Eney noted that opposition to the existing logo
is strong, noting that many residents on NextDoor expressed concerns following the
Supervisor writing about this upcoming project in the newsletter. Councilmember King
then referenced a past instance when members of the Larchmont-Mamaroneck
Human Rights Committee had communicated that people are equally passionate
about making a change. The Human Rights Committee and Supervisor Elkind Eney
had spoken with a Siwanoy Nation group and The Lenape Center in New York City
and they both had requested a change.
Town Board
May 21, 2025
Councilmember Fiddelman was not worried about resident opposition, agreeing with
Councilmember King that proper background work should be presented.
Councilmember Nambiar suggested rephrasing the survey question, while Supervisor
Elkind Eney explained that communications professionals are responsible for framing
it appropriately. Councilmember Nambiar stated that a new logo should reflect the
community's identity, and Councilmember Fiddelman noted that the Board should
leave survey development to the communications professionals.
The Board debated the necessity of a change. While some believed the decision was
unanimous, Councilmember Nambiar disagreed, arguing that no formal agreement
had been reached. Since the Town has access to ZenCity, Ms. Guadron could draft
the survey questions for distribution through the platform. Mr. Barnberger's proposal
was priced at $7,500, while Ms. Guadron's focused primarily on the design.
Councilmember Nambiar expressed interest in meeting with Ms. Guadron, and
Supervisor Elkind Eney wanted to discuss pricing breakdowns. Councilmember
Nambiar proposed inviting her to a meeting, and Councilmember Nichinsky stressed
the importance of handling the process carefully. Councilmember Fiddelman
advocated for a professional-led approach.
Supervisor Elkind Eney sought clarity on whether the Board would proceed with Mr.
Barberger or Ms. Guadron, with consensus favoring Ms. Guadron. Councilmember
Nambiar asked whether the pricing could be separated into survey development and
design costs. Supervisor Elkind Eney indicated that Mr. Bamberger dismissed this
request. Councilmember Nichinsky supported Ms. Guadron, and Councilmember King
recommended bringing her in sooner rather than later, ideally at the meeting following
the next one.
Councilmember Fiddelman aimed to negotiate the pricing, and Councilmember
Nambiar reviewed the proposal, which listed $18,000 for design and $4,000 for
strategic planning. Given ZenCity's positive feedback from the pool survey, the Board
agreed to engage with Ms. Guadron. Supervisor Elkind Eney planned to call her and
schedule a second meeting in June.
Ms. Immerman raised concerns that changing the logo could spark objections due to
its historical significance. However, Councilmember King and Ms. Immerman
emphasized the Board's responsibility to make an informed and educated decision.
8. Request for Executive Session
Moved by Councilmember Fiddelman, seconded by Councilmember Nichinsky,
the Town Board agreed to enter into Executive Session to discuss current
litigation with the Village of Larchmont.
Carried
Moved by Councilmember Fiddelman, seconded by Councilmember Nambiar,

9. Updates

would include Gary Hirsch's One Vine Street proposal.

of the BLD Diner project.
10. Changes to Regular Meeting Agenda
8:00 PM TOWN BOARD REGULAR MEETING
The Town Board meeting convened in the Courtroom located on the second floor at the
Town Center. The Public was to view the meeting on cable access television (Optimum 76/
Fios 35) or on LMCMedia.org
CALL TO ORDER
The Regular Meeting of the Town Board was called to order by Town Supervisor Elkind
Eney at 8:19 p.m. The Town Supervisor noted that the Town Board met for a Work Session
beginning at 5:00 p.m. this evening, which was open to the public.
SUPERVISOR'S REPORT
Supervisor Elkind Eney welcomed everyone to the meeting and informed residents that the
Town is preparing for the 2025 Tentative Assessment Roll update on June 1. The tentative
roll and related assessment data will be available on the Town website under Property
Assessment. Supervisor Elkind Eney explained that all property owners will receive an
assessment notice in the mail at the beginning of June. Adjustments to assessments are
necessary to reflect market value shifts and physical changes to properties, as required by
the New York State Office of Real Property Tax Services and are typical for municipalities
that maintain assessments at full market value, as the Town of Mamaroneck does.
Supervisor Elkind Eney emphasized that the Assessor does not determine tax amounts;
rather, taxes are established by the taxing jurisdictions, which include the Town, County, and
School Districts. Assessments are used to determine each taxpayer's proportionate share of
the annual tax levy. If residents disagree with their tentative assessment, they are entitled to
challenge it through the Board of Assessment Review. Instructions and procedures are
available on the website under the Assessor's Department. Grievance applications may be
mailed or submitted in person at the Town Center between June 2 and June 17, Monday
through Friday, from 8:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Supervisor Elkind Eney noted that all
applications must be received by June 17—postmarking by that date is not sufficient.
Supervisor Elkind Eney then turned to upcoming events. Memorial Day Weekend begins
Saturday, and starting May 27—the Tuesday after the holiday—Town offices will operate on
summer hours, closing at 4:00 p.m. instead of 4:30 p.m. The Maxwell Avenue Recycling
Facility will be closed over the holiday weekend. Supervisor Elkind Eney encouraged the
public to check the Town website for a list of community events, including the annual
Memorial Day Parade co-sponsored by the Town of Mamaroneck and the Village of
Larchmont. The parade kicks off at 7:00 p.m. at the Chatsworth Avenue Bridge, continues
down Palmer Avenue, and proceeds up Larchmont Avenue to the Municipal Building, where
complimentary hot dogs will be served. This year's Grand Marshal, representing the Town,
will be County Legislator Catherine Parker.
Supervisor Elkind Eney also shared updates on recent activities. On May 13, Supervisor
Elkind Eney and Councilmember Fiddelman attended the Local Summit on the topic
"Municipal Budgets: Where Does Your Money Go?" Town Administrator Meredith Robson
spoke about the Town budget and its associated challenges, and the Supervisor thanked her
for doing an excellent job with a difficult topic.
On May 15, Supervisor Elkind Eney and Councilmember Fiddelman attended the 8th Annual
Hudson Valley Affordable Housing Summit at Pace University, where presentations—
including one by Mamaroneck's OCRA students—addressed inclusionary zoning and the
complexities of related laws. Supervisor Elkind Eney found the presentations informative,
interesting, and relevant, and expressed enthusiasm about future events.
Town Board
May 21, 2025
On May 17, Supervisor Elkind Eney attended two events: the ribbon cutting for the new Alma
Field at Flint Park—described as a beautiful facility and a valuable addition to the
community—and the annual "Kentucky Derby" rubber duck race hosted by the Larchmont
Gardens Civic Association (LGCA). Supervisor Elkind Eney noted the charm of the event,
where children race rubber ducks through a brook near the Lansdowne Bridge, and
highlighted the presence of one confused real duck among the toys. Supervisor Elkind Eney
thanked LGCA for organizing such a delightful event.
Supervisor Elkind Eney reported that the Law Enforcement Torch Run for the Special
Olympics took place on May 19. Members of the Town of Mamaroneck Police Department,
including Detective Amy LaRosa and Officers Sean Lynch, Joe Detz, Benjamin McManus,
and Matt Stapleton, joined their Westchester colleagues to run the Sound Shore leg of the
route. The Town Supervisor proudly cheered them on, noting that since 1986, the Torch Run
has raised over $14 million in support of Special Olympics athletes. Supervisor Elkind Eney
gave special praise to Detective LaRosa and was proud of the Police Department's
participation.
Later that same day, she and Administrator Robson attended the Larchmont Garden Civic
Association's annual meeting, where they answered questions and addressed concerns
raised by residents. Supervisor Elkind Eney appreciated the opportunity to engage directly
with the community.
Earlier that day, the Town Supervisor and Administrator Robson also attended the annual
Kemper Memorial Day Essay Contest at Mamaroneck High School. Three winners were
selected—two for essays and one for visual art. The Supervisor was especially impressed by
a painting depicting Americans by a lake tearing apart a flag, while the reflection in the water
below showed the Iwo Jima flag-raising—illustrating a powerful contrast between the present
and the past.
Supervisor Elkind Eney closed her remarks by wishing the community a happy and safe
Memorial Day Weekend and reminded all to reflect on the sacrifices made by veterans who
gave their lives for the country.
RESIDENT COMMENTS
Kathy Sheinhouse, a 44-year resident of Larchmont Acres East, addressed the Town Board
to raise concerns about the oversized impact of Trader Joe's on the neighboring residential
area. Ms. Sheinhouse began by acknowledging the popularity and appeal of the store but
emphasized the significant and growing disruptions it causes for nearby residents.
Ms. Sheinhouse explained that Larchmont Acres East directly abuts the rear of the shopping
center where Trader Joe's is located. The residential parking lot lies behind the facility, and
residents now experience continuous intrusions and logistical challenges due to the store's
volume of business and its large-scale delivery operations.
Ms. Sheinhouse shared several specific concerns:
• Truck Traffic and Noise: Full-sized delivery trucks arrive as early as 4:00 AM, multiple
times per day. The trucks back into a narrow loading bay, triggering safety alarms and
back-up signals that disturb residents, particularly in the early morning hours. The
trucks often idle for hours, contributing to environmental and noise pollution.
• Obstruction and Safety: The loading activity frequently blocks access to the residential
parking lot. Truck drivers have at times refused to move or had no place to relocate,
creating gridlock for residents.
• Parking Encroachment: Due to Trader Joe's limited parking capacity and high
customer traffic—especially on weekends and holidays—drivers regularly spill over
into the residential lot, occupying residents' private, paid parking spots. Despite efforts
to post signage, unauthorized parking remains rampant.
• Elimination of Left-Hand Turn: Ms. Sheinhouse expressed frustration over the Town's
past decision to prohibit left turns out of the residential lot onto Boston Post Road,
implemented to allow emergency vehicle access. Ms. Sheinhouse questioned
Town Board
May 21, 2025
whether the Town or landlord, Brixmor Properties, had considered altering the layout
of the commercial lot to widen ingress/egress lanes, which she argued would more
equitably distribute the burden between the commercial and residential users.
• Lack of Cooperation: Ms. Sheinhouse noted that Brixmor has refused requests for
improved signage or to assign a traffic monitor during peak periods. Ms. Sheinhouse
urged the Town to consider whether Trader Joe's has outgrown the location and
whether it is still an appropriate tenant for a site originally designed for smaller-scale
businesses.
Ms. Sheinhouse asked the Board to explore whether restrictions could be placed on Trader
Joe's delivery hours—suggesting that early-morning deliveries be made through the front of
the store instead of the back—and whether the landlord could be required to redesign the
parking lot layout to better accommodate truck traffic and resident needs.
Supervisor Elkind Eney thanked Ms. Sheinhouse for her thoughtful and detailed
presentation. The Supervisor acknowledged having received the email from Ms. Sheinhouse
just before the meeting (due to a misaddressed earlier message) and apologized for the
delayed response. The Supervisor noted that special permits for businesses like Trader
Joe's fall under the jurisdiction of the Planning Board, and that staff review is the first step in
evaluating whether existing permit conditions are being followed.
Councilmember Fiddelman explained that the Planning Board reviews special use permits
every two years and that these permits often include conditions on delivery times, truck
behavior, and volume. Ms. Sheinhouse emphasized that code enforcement staff should be
sent to evaluate whether Trader Joe's is complying with those terms, especially during
weekend peak hours, when most issues occur.
Councilmember Nichinsky added that she has personally witnessed the traffic chaos
described, including unsafe vehicle maneuvers and congestion spilling out onto Boston Post
Road. Ms. Sheinhouse reiterated that the left-turn restriction was imposed primarily for safety
reasons to prevent accidents.
Supervisor Elkind Eney and other Board members agreed that this issue warrants review by
staff and potentially the Planning Board if violations or inadequacies are identified. They
committed to following up with the appropriate staff and initiating the necessary evaluations.

1. Consideration of Approval - H2M Design Proposal for 2025 Storm Sewer
Improvements
Town Administrator Robson introduced the item, explaining that this proposed
agreement with H2M Architects + Engineers would initiate the design phase for
stormwater improvements throughout the Town. The plan includes five of the fifteen
identified project locations from the previous study, with a total design budget not to
exceed $524,600. Administrator Robson noted that final figures from the design work
would inform future capital budgeting efforts.
Supervisor Elkind Eney emphasized the significance of this next step in addressing
long-standing flooding issues. Councilmember King highlighted that the selected
locations span different parts of Town, ensuring broad community benefit, and
confirmed that prioritization followed the study's recommendations. Councilmember
Fiddelman remarked that while the $60 million estimated cost to complete all 15
projects is daunting, beginning with five represents substantial progress. The Board
expressed support for the project and acknowledged the long-term commitment and
funding challenges ahead.

an additional $3,700 needed to complete the Park Lane storage tank project based on
updated estimates from Westchester Joint Water Works. The third was a
housekeeping adjustment to redirect previously received NYSERDA grant funding
from consultant services to the installation of heat pumps at the Memorial Park sign
shop, in line with the grant's final approved use.
