C. Letter from the Westchester Residence & Club, LLC, Senior Enriched/Independent Living Housing.

Mayor Cindrich read the letter from Mr. Chase A. Caro of Caro & Associates dated July 10, 2006 regarding a Petition to Amend to Zoning Code and Zoning Map for the Village of Mount Kisco.

Mr. Patrick Hughes from Saccardi & Schiff, Inc. Consultants in White Plains stated that his firm represented the applicant Westchester Residence & Club, LLC. He proceeded to summarize the application for the Village Board. The location is on Kisco Avenue proximate to the Saw Mill River Parkway. The proposal is for rezoning 18 � acres from CD to PRD. Presently that entire parcel 51 acres is in the CD Zone and the petition before the Board would be for the rezoning of that portion which is proposed to be subdivided 18 � acres. Included in this proposal is a petition for an amendment to the zoning text specifically spelling out a parking ratio for the existing use (Senior Enriched/Independent Living Housing) of 1.33 parking spaces per housing unit. Second amendment in text form is an added sentence related to length of building. Presently there is a 150 foot maximum length of building and the language proposed is “that the Planning Board may allow a building specifically designed as senior enriched/independent living housing as defined in Section 110-59 of the zoning code in excess of 150 feet, provided that landscaping, screening, and building design treatments are included in order to address any visual and aesthetic concerns because the building length exceeds 150 feet”. The proposal is for 129 units of senior enriched independent living housing which is a use the code currently describes. With the 129 units and with the petitioned ratio of 1.33 parking spaces per unit we come to 173 on site parking spaces (44 outdoor parking spaces and 129 underground parking spaces). Also submitted in this package are site plans, Environmental Assessment Form Part I; and a Stormwater Plan by registered engineers, meeting the requirements for the site plan. He stated that he is requesting from the Village Board the referral of this application to the Planning Board so that in the coming months the Planning Board will be able to declare its intent to be the Lead Agency under SEQRA. At that time would be the consideration of the environmental site plan, subdivision, steep slope and wetland review. The Planning Board will address all of the appropriate considerations such as topography, stormwater, visual considerations, traffic and other things that would be specified in the EAF. After that time the Village Board would look at and consider our request for zoning changes after the findings of the Planning Board. So tonight the request and action is a referral to the Planning Board.

Mayor Cindrich asked if the PRD Zone currently existed or was that a new zone.

Mr. Hughes replied that it was an existing zone and it currently exists in two other places in the Village today.

Mr. Singleton noted that Woodcrest and Sutton Manor are currently zoned PRD.

Mayor Cindrich asked if Saccardi & Schiff, Inc. found it more appropriate to create a new zone rather than to work within the confines of a zone the Village already had established.

Mr. Hughes replied that the PRD existing zoning would accommodate this use.

Mayor Cindrich stated that the length of the building that you are concerned about under the current zoning now limits the length to 150 feet.

Mr. Hughes replied yes, that is correct. We are requesting additional language that says “However, (if) the Planning Board, may allow a building specifically designed as senior enriched/independent living housing as defined in Section 110-59 of the Zoning Code in excess of 150 feet, provided that landscaping, screening, and building design treatments are included in order to address any visual and aesthetic concerns because the building length exceeds 150 feet. Mr. Hughes noted that the design is shaped like a boomerang with sections exceeding 360 feet each in length.

Trustee Markus asked what was changing in the parking regulations.

Mr. Hughes replied that there is no unit count for that use today and because of the specific nature of the history of this parcel and the proposal there was a discussion of a parking unit count, so we are integrating that into our petition.

Mayor Cindrich stated that in the negotiation for this parcel the conceptual idea we did have discussion on what we would like to see and in reality how many parking spaces would actually be utilized by the residents that will inhabit the place once it is built. Over building parking spaces is as detrimental as under building parking spaces. It is important that we arrive at a number that is in actuality what's going to be utilized by both occupants and employees.

Trustee Griffin, Jr. asked the Village Attorney if the Planning Board had the right to allow a building in excess of the required zoning code.

Mr. Singleton replied presently they do not. There have been prior applications with similar constraints that have triggered the necessity of the Zoning Board of Appeals with a recommendation from the Planning Board. However, they are proposing an amendment to the zoning code which would allow the discretion to be exercised by the Planning Board.

Mayor Cindrich noted that this was something the Village Board will look at and if it is appropriate we will move in the right direction.

Mr. Singleton noted that in addition to the Planning Board making a recommendation as to the proposed zoning and mapping they will also have to entertain application for site plan, sub-division, steeps slopes permit and depending on what the Village Board does with this proposed zoning text amendment potentially a variance.

Trustee Markus asked when the proposal would come back to the Village Board.

Mr. Singleton replied after everything has been thoroughly reviewed by the Planning Board and provided that the Village Board does not take exception or umbrage with the Planning Board conducting the Environmental Review, it won't come back until they have completed their environmental review.

Mayor Cindrich asked if the Village Board could be provided with project time lines.

Mayor Cindrich asked at what point in time are we going to establish a metes and bounds which is important for us to work off of, basically a legal description of the property.

Mr. Hughes replied that the application package tonight includes a new subdivision line which has metes and bounds on it.

Mayor Cindrich requested that the projections be emailed to the Village Manager.

Mayor Cindrich stated that copies of this proposal will be kept in the Planning Department for public review.

Motion made by Trustee Markus and seconded by Trustee Grunthal

to refer this matter concerning the Westchester Residence & Club, LLC, Senior

Enriched/Independent Living Housing to the Planning Board for their review and

consideration, all in favor.

2) Petitions:

A. Annexation of Property on Turner Lane into the Village/Town of Mount Kisco.

Mayor Cindrich read the letter dated June 12, 2006 from Samuel L. Newman, Attorney representing Messer. Jad and Jamil Barghout.

Mr. Jad Barghout stated that in addition to the letter the Board also has an official petition pursuant to General Municipal Law Article 17 Annexation Law. He also had ten (10) reasons why this property should be annex into Mount Kisco. The Supreme Court in many cases ruled that based on one of these ten conditions he was proposing. (He handed out copies of these conditions to the Village Board of Trustees). Mr. Barghout stated that the State Supreme Court sided that if the benefit is exceeded in one location to the other the property must be annexed and in our case this does exist. The Village of Mount Kisco does provide all the services i.e. Water & Sewer and Fire Protection.

Trustee Grunthal asked Mr. Barghout to explain how the annexation of his property is in the overall public interest (Section 14).

Mayor Cindrich asked the Village Attorney what the procedures and next steps were regarding this petition.

Mr. Singleton replied that the next step would be for the applicant to petition both Bedford and Mount Kisco and then we would have a joint meeting with Bedford wherein we would discuss the overall public benefit of pursuing something like this and the overall impacts and whether or not independent of the particular applicant you have to choose a point at which it makes sense to extend further extend less or to not extend at all. That is not on a customer by customer basis. It has to be in the joint interest of the municipalities. We would have to schedule a public hearing with the Town of Bedford and if something were to come of this petition and there were to be an annexation at that point in time you would then have a proposed zoning put in place for the property.

Mr. Singleton informed the applicant that the sewer lines can not be extended to this property. Because of the agreement the Village of Mount Kisco has with New York City that we would not expand our sewer districts beyond our municipal limits as it existed in 1980.

Mr. Barghout stated that two of the lots are in Mount Kisco.

Mr. Singleton replied that we can not extend by law/by contract our sewer lines beyond the municipal boundaries or limits of the Village of Mount Kisco as it existed in 1980.

Mayor Cindrich stated that the issue is not a point of law; it was an agreement that's between the Village of Mount Kisco and the City of New York.

Mr. Barghout stated that you have the Knights of Columbus which is in Bedford and they get water from the Village of Mount Kisco.

Mr. Singleton noted that he did not say “Water Service” he said “Sewer Service”.

Mr. Barghout noted that the Pinecrest property was annexed to the Village of Mount Kisco.

Mr. Singleton replied that that development was build prior to 1980.

Mr. Singleton recommended that the Village Board not take any action on this matter until they received a report from Village Staff.

Motion made by Mayor Cindrich and seconded by Trustee Markus that the Village Board of Trustees to accept the petition for annexation of property on Turner Lane into the Town/Village of Mount Kisco and that the petition be referred to Staff for review. He added that the Village of Mount Kisco will be soliciting a response from the Supervisor of Bedford regard this matter in order to set up a joint meeting with the Town Board of Bedford and the Village Board of Mount Kisco, all in favor.

Motion Adopted

Mayor Cindrich Aye

Trustee Griffin, Jr. Aye

Trustee Grunthal Aye

Trustee Markus Aye

Trustee Griffin, Jr. noted that Mr. Barghout's property was in a Fire District that was serviced by Mount Kisco, so the property was not lacking fire protection.

3) Board, Committee and Commission Reports: None

4) Village Manager's Reports -

A. Level of Byram Lake

Village Manager, James Palmer advised that the level of Byram Lake as of 5:00pm this evening was at 99.5% capacity. The daily pumpage for the month of June 2006 was 1,504,319 million gallons, with sewage pump average daily inflow at 1,748,927 and outflows at 1,699,717 million gallons.

Trustee Grunthal noted that several weeks ago he had asked if he could have a historical comparison of this monthly numbers versus previous months and Mr. Palmer did send it to him separately showing the monthly average. This is useful to watch from the time we started measuring with the measuring devices that came into position when the new filtration can on line. We are looking at a gentle increase in the daily average from month to month between 2004 and 2006, so it is well worthwhile to keep an historical summary of these monthly measurements. He suggested that these tables also be distributed to the Village Board and he thanked Mr. Palmer for providing him with this information.

B. Bid results for Lexington Avenue Sanitary Sewer Point Repair (Lexington Avenue. Contract #2006-02).

The Village Board of Trustees tabled this item pending the hiring of a new Village Engineer.

The Village Board of Trustees also asked if this work could be performed by Village Staff.

Mayor Cindrich asked for more details regarding the scope of the work because there was such a disparity in the cost amounts.

C. Bid results for Sanitary Sewer Flow Monitoring. Contract #2006-03.

Mayor Cindrich stated that the Village undertook a similar project 8 or 9 years ago where we did an inspection of a good part of the Village and he wanted to make sure that there wasn't any duplication of effort. He also wanted to make sure that the engineer or the contractor is going to review the data we already have before they undertake any projects.

Motion made by Trustee Markus seconded by Trustee Grunthal authorizing the Village Manager in his discretion to accept a recommendation subject to any further reductions or changes of review as recommended by Michael F. Stein, P.E. of Dolph Rotfeld Engineer, P.C. in its July 5, 2006 proposal. The Board is not necessarily suggesting that they are agreeing to spend the $35,600 or the $38,000 until after there has been further review of the prior study on I&I, all in favor.

Motion Adopted

Mayor Cindrich Aye

Trustee Griffin, Jr. Aye

Trustee Grunthal Aye

Trustee Markus Aye

On the Question:

Mayor Cindrich stated that there may be something that the first study didn't reveal. He added that the study was worth doing so long as there isn't any duplication.

D. Traffic Promulgation.

Village Manager, James Palmer reviewed the proposed traffic promulgation for Ward Avenue. He noted that this traffic promulgation was in response to a complaint received by the property owner of 3 Brook Street.

Traffic Rules and Regulations Register is hereby amended as follows:

No Parking, Standing or Stopping

Ward Avenue: On its northerly side, from its westerly terminus at Brook Street to a point 50 feet easterly of said terminus.

Mayor Cindrich stated that he had an additional traffic promulgation for Hillside Avenue that he needed to add to tonight's meeting. The area that Mr. Ferguson is concerned about which is being used as a cut through street. Assuming that Hillside Avenue runs east and west, for east bound and west bound traffic he wanted a triangular sign (which is a caution sign) stating limited sight distance with a yellow speed limit sign stating 15 MPH, both for east and west bound traffic, approximately 30 feet from the highest elevation on each side of the knoll on that street. It would serve as more of a deterrent and warning than a stop sign, because the stop sign gives people a false sense of security, where the warning sign service the purpose of slowing traffic down.

F. Resolution Scheduling an Executive Session

Motion made by Trustee Markus and seconded by Trustee Griffin, Jr. scheduling an Executive Session immediately following the evening's Regular Meeting to discuss pending litigation, personnel and real estate matters, all in favor.

Motion Adopted

5) Board Reports

Trustee Markus advised that he is continuing to work with Town Prosecutor Karen Schleimer, Building Inspector Austin Cassidy, Patti Tipa and the Architectural Review Board to try to identify zones and criteria for five zones for the Village. The process is going forward we hope to have something to present to the Village Board within the not to distant future.

Trustee Grunthal advised that the Finance Committee recently meet and they are now starting to look at long term capital budgeting versus the five year capital budgets, which is intended to assist the Village Treasurer, the Village Manager and the Board of Trustees with capital needs in the future. The Finance Committee will be meeting again on Thursday, July 20^th and we can look forward to a report from them in the next several months.

Trustee Griffin, Jr. advised that he had no Building and Grounds Committee Report at this time.

Mayor Cindrich stated that he wanted to send a message to be public regarding compliance about zoning and zoning problems. They should start with the Building Inspector first and if the matter is not resolved to their satisfaction then please contact the Village Manager of himself after that.

Mayor Cindrich stated that a few weeks ago the Village of Mount Kisco had a tragic accident on Maple Avenue. In his opinion the media missed that real story which was that an elderly woman passed away in her home, she may have been deceased for two or three months before she was discovered and the real story is if you have an elderly person living near you to check on them once in a while. We can all make a difference.

Mayor Cindrich stated that the Village is working with the Lexus Dealership which is under review and as part of the site plan review they are going to solicit the New York State Department of Transportation to make modifications to the Saw Mill ingress and egress ramps off the parkway. It will be partially at the expense of the Lexus Dealership and also other property owners in the area.

Mayor Cindrich noted that on Friday night we had the Firemen's Parade here in Mount Kisco we recognized the contribution that the Volunteer Fire Department's here in Mount Kisco make to this community. He added that after the recent weather events (heavy rain storms and tornado) we as a community should take a great deal of comfort knowing that we have our own emergency management team right here in Westchester County. The volunteers provide exceptional service and we are very fortunate to have that group of people here in Westchester. The Firemen's Parade was a great success it was something we can all be proud of and he urged everyone to support the Fire Department and the volunteer efforts they make to this community.
