[0:00] All right. Well, I'll officially call the meeting door. A couple announcements. First, there's a public hearing,

[0:11] considered a local law, I'm ending the local landmark chapter of the village code, and that's

[0:16] scheduled for Monday's June 1st at 7pm of the village hall. Marianne, did you want to give

[0:20] a little bit about background on that one? Yeah. It was, I guess, I was surprised. It was January

[0:27] 2018. I went back to look that we enacted the local landmark law. And what this law would do is make

[0:36] sure that anybody who buys a property that he has a local landmark on it would be aware

[0:42] of it is there. Because presumably, I should point out that there's no local landmarks

[0:49] have yet been designated and nobody's applied for local landmarks to be out of. So let's say

[0:53] somebody has presumably got to getting some benefit for it and whatever. But anyway, and the

[0:59] intention was that it would continue to bind future owners of the property. So what this

[1:06] As a provision, I'll read it in short, a certified copy of the resolution designating a

[1:16] site building structure marker object is a local landmark shall be recorded in the office of the

[1:22] clerk of Westchester County and index against the property and which the local landmark is located.

[1:28] So that anybody who buys the property in the future would know about the local landmark designation.

[1:32] They're bound by it, presumably, but this would put them on notice and certainly make any

[1:38] question about whether they're bound by it, it would be resolved because it's filed with the County

[1:44] Park. Thank you.

[1:46] Very good. So I'll make a motion to have the public hearing on Monday June 1st at 7 p.m. in

[1:51] Bill's Hall, I guess, actually online, but if I can get the second.

[1:55] Second. All of it. All right. All right. Next. An update on a memorial day ceremony.

[2:01] Since obviously we can have public gatherings that remind large public gatherings, our

[2:07] Memorial Day ceremony will be very abbreviated this year. We're going to have a short ceremony

[2:13] to kind of acknowledge the importance of the day. And of course remember the fallen, but we're

[2:20] not going to have our usual speeches and that sort of thing is going to be a very brief ceremony

[2:25] that will be broadcast live. So if anybody wants to tune in, make sure we get that on the

[2:31] site and send an email blast out. But, you know, while we can't have our traditional or we

[2:37] are actually hoping for an enhanced memorial day ceremony and then has parade this year and

[2:41] had a lot of things in the works that unfortunately had to be canceled with so many other

[2:45] things this year. But we did feel that it was very important to still have some ceremony on

[2:50] that day, because it's such a solemn and important day. One other thing before we get to

[2:57] check is I've gotten several emails this week about people's not their lack of use of masks

[3:04] on places like the Aphroducts. I understand when people are outside and there are places

[3:09] like to meet Irvington Woods where you can typically be able to social distance, you know, more

[3:13] than six feet or six feet or more from your neighbor. But the Aphroduct is really not one of those

[3:19] places. That's the place I've gotten the most complaints about because there are parts where it's

[3:27] people jogging in a bite-tones and you're going to have to be within six feet of each other or

[3:31] you're going to fall off the side. So if you're on the Aproducts, if you're on Main Street,

[3:37] please have a mask with you, even if it's kind of down a little bit and you have to be pulled

[3:41] up when you get near people. I understand it's not comfortable if you're exercising,

[3:44] it's always up a mask on, but we ask you to try to use common sense and you're going to be

[3:52] area, we request that you continue to wear your mask.

[3:56] Hey, Brian?

[3:57] On that topic, I just want to make a mention that I was kind of startled on Saturday.

[4:04] I think it was Saturday.

[4:05] I can't remember what Saturday or Sunday now, but going up through to Cyrus Field Road and

[4:14] the Urban Endwoods parking lot was jammed and it was overflowing into the informal parking

[4:20] area for the gun range for the shooting range. And what I wanted to point out was the vast majority

[4:28] of people were did not even have masks on. And it was very, it started to me because although

[5:00] But whatever else, it doesn't seem like the safest outcome.

[5:03] Yeah, no, I mean, again, it's kind of common sense, like if you're in the middle of the woods and there's no one around, feel free to, you know, take your mask down, but you should always have one with you when you're interacting with people you should always have it.

[5:14] So, I think that's good common sense. I think that's also a reason I have another point about unleashed dogs. We had, again, bad incidents with people, other dogs, children being, you know, having bad encounters with unleashed dogs.

[5:29] The law is very clear, you have to have your dog on leash, whether in the Irvington Woods,

[5:35] whether you're on Main Street, all dogs have to be leash.

[5:38] And it doesn't matter if your dog is the nicest dog since Snoopy.

[5:42] It has to be on leash.

[5:44] I know it's not always great for not the happiest dog, but that can be on leash in the woods,

[5:48] but that's the rules.

[5:49] And it's because not all dogs are Snoopy.

[5:51] Some dogs are mean, some dogs are only mean when they see a certain thing.

[5:55] We just can't have that.

[5:56] We have lots of enforcement. We're going to be having

[6:02] Undercover or in non-utiforms police officers in the woods and there's not many warnings. I don't care if you lived here for a thousand years and your name drip and winkle.

[6:11] You're going to be getting a ticket. This is going on for years and years and years.

[6:16] And I understand a lot of my friends are like, but once I get to the woods I take my dog off leash.

[6:20] And that's great until you're the woman who gets to pack by three dogs.

[6:24] And, you know, two of them I'm sure were the friendly stars ever, so just don't do it anymore.

[6:28] You're going to get a ticket, and it's not going to be pleasant, and no one that judge myself.

[6:34] No one's going to have a, you know, a year that's going to, at all, say,

[6:39] Jesus, I understand, you know, I'm sorry.

[6:42] I was happy to be able to, but I've obviously got an all-purpose now.

[6:45] Let's go back to the mundane.

[6:46] We did all this, Brian. Can I just add, see the cuts into the list of places where masks should be worn at all times, and dogs probably not brought in?

[6:59] Yeah, I don't know.

[7:01] I mean, the student cuts in rule is also very simple. When student cuts in donate of the park, they said, no dogs. So the rule is no dogs.

[7:10] So even if you have a friendly dog, I mean we have found three leashes, they can't not to go in this unique house in park that goes for bicycles.

[7:17] That goes for recumbent bicycles, it goes for tricycles, it goes for scooters.

[7:22] If it has wheels, you can't use it. It's too narrow and right now it's way too crowded.

[7:26] So no wheels, no dogs, and masks.

[7:30] It's and try and walk in the right direction. It's very simple, really.

[7:34] And no smoking.

[7:35] No smoking.

[7:38] Part of the mask on so. Anyway, I don't know how they do it, but to check so we're 25,000.

[7:47] We had one to buy or four. It was for a police hybrid SUV. It came out capital fun.

[7:52] It was for 36,319 dollars. That was all it had for announcements.

[7:58] I don't know if anyone else wants to jump up on their high horse, like I did, but otherwise we'll move on.

[8:05] Alright, next correspondence, it actually all applies to our public hearing, so I'm going to hold

[8:12] over the correspondence until we get to the public hearing. Next up is public comment for anything

[8:18] that's not on the agenda, so if there's a topic here that isn't on the agenda, feel free to

[8:24] raise your hand and virtually raise your hands and Larry will call on you.

[8:38] There will of course

[8:45] This is what the game is raising their hands.

[8:47] Give me extra minute to figure it out if you have to.

[8:49] There's one.

[8:51] Check, Kerr.

[8:56] Hello, Chai.

[8:57] Hi.

[8:58] I think I'm unmuted.

[9:00] I just have a question about the landmark amendment law.

[9:05] And I know there's going to be a public hearing a couple weeks.

[9:07] But with this change, would it mean that if a land, if an owner applies for and gets land, local landmark status for their property?

[9:18] Not only a future owner, but that current owner couldn't change their mind and undo it.

[9:26] Yeah, well, you know, there is a provision in the landmark.

[9:34] Well, let me get a fun week.

[9:35] I don't remember off the top of my head.

[10:00] I suppose if you were designated a landmark and you wanted to get undesignated, you could go to the board of trustees

[10:07] and ask them to do it. I mean, it's in their power that they created it. But I guess a future land owner would have to do the same thing.

[10:20] Is it an answer to it, chat?

[10:22] Yeah, I guess, well, here's my question. I haven't looked at the landmark. I had understood it that you couldn't make something

[10:30] landmark without the current landowner. Exactly. And although it wasn't directly addressed, it's

[10:38] suggested to me that if it became landmark, a landmark owner for the same rationale,

[10:43] who'd go to the board later on, and asked that it be undone. And it could be interesting.

[10:49] Let me get the longer from you know what? I was just reading the section that I corrected,

[10:55] not the whole law, I actually do remember something.

[10:59] Well, I don't want to sidetrack everybody on this.

[11:02] I just may Marianne, you and I can perhaps have a conversation

[11:05] about this.

[11:06] I just, I just, I read it.

[11:07] No, no, you may as well answer.

[11:09] I just found the answer.

[11:12] The board of, and it, it's also in the same chapter,

[11:15] local, and my recession.

[11:18] The board of trustees may rescind any designation

[11:21] of a local landmark using the same procedure

[11:23] It's a local landmark designation.

[11:25] So my question is with that also apply for future owners as well.

[11:30] No.

[11:33] OK.

[11:35] Yeah, because it's up.

[11:37] So somebody else buys the property.

[11:39] They have a designated local landmark on their property.

[11:42] They can file to rescind the designation.

[11:45] There's nothing in that land, which still limits

[11:47] this to the young person who first got a designated.

[11:53] OK.

[11:54] That's my question.

[11:55] Thank you.

[11:56] OK.

[11:59] Any other public comment?

[12:09] Okay, then we'll move on to the consent agenda.

[12:12] Anyone on the board have a question on the consent agenda?

[12:19] So I'd say I'll make a motion to approve the consent agenda if I can have a second.

[12:26] All in favour?

[12:30] Next up is the continuation of the public hearing to consider a local law

[12:34] any zoning code to create the North Broadway and mixed use districts.

[12:38] Obviously, we put this public curing on pause with New York State.

[12:44] Today, what we'd like to do, first I'll say right away, we're not voting on it today,

[12:50] we're probably not voting on it for a while, but we thought it was important to get the conversation

[12:57] going again, start addressing new issues, I know we just had someone send a letter that they

[13:01] found out about it again. So we've failed in more publicity. We can give it, you know, and then

[13:07] where we can discuss the issue, the better for everybody. So, you know, we're not voting tonight.

[13:12] We don't expect the vote in the near term, but we thought it would get to update where we are,

[13:18] and then hear new concerns from all of you. So tonight's really, again, it's more about

[13:25] a listening exercise for us. We don't expect to have, you know, answered in solutions to everything

[13:30] you bring up, but now we can continue to address issues only when we're here at them, so that's

[13:35] the purpose of the night.

[13:42] Marianne, would you be able to go through the changes, yeah?

[13:48] Yeah. I thought I had done this before, but maybe not, you know what, I think it was just in a work

[13:52] session. But in any event, there's a few changes, not a much too big. One is the previous draft

[14:01] had a minimum lot with the 250 minimum lot, you know, length of 250 and a minimum

[14:07] lot size of 80,000. It doesn't really make any sense because the 250 didn't make

[14:16] sense. And also there are a couple of lots there that aren't 80,000 square feet. So it was

[14:22] changed to minimum lot size. No new lot may be created in the North Broadway

[14:27] mixed to district unless it has an area of at least 80,000 square feet. That's one

[14:34] shift. Then another change was on the required yards. The previous draft

[14:41] had it on the, the front yard remains in 75 feet. The side had 50 in the rear

[14:47] and 50. But if it joins in one family district, it's got to be 75 feet in the

[14:54] 75 feet in the rear, so 75 feet on our side, there's a change from the 50 to the 75.

[15:00] Right now, the definition of height leads from ground up, so they will continue to be the definition of height.

[15:06] But it says the underground parking shall not be included in the number of stories.

[15:12] So if there's a three-story limit, you are underground parking doesn't include it get included in the stories.

[15:18] It'll be measured the same way it always is.

[15:21] can not have a big change just to clarification.

[15:25] Then this is new when was a maximum building length was added that no building shall exceed

[15:32] a length of 225 feet of grade.

[15:35] This limitation shall not apply to covered walkways for the closest similar structures connecting

[15:41] buildings, no shallot applied it for our ways of parking lots.

[15:44] So that if you had two buildings connected by a covered walkway, that wouldn't be one building

[15:51] that you might have 175 foot building and 175 foot building connected by a walkway and then walkway

[15:59] doesn't count. This I think responds to one of the, one of the comments and one of the, the

[16:06] letter from a lot of the neighbors was that you can have a building as big as football field as

[16:11] wise football field we can't because it can't be wide of a 220. And we settled on that number

[16:17] because it, that's right now, that's the size of roughly the size of the, of the

[16:25] haven't house and that seems to be reasonable and that we didn't want to make any of the buildings

[16:30] non-conforming.

[16:35] There's one other set of changes. This section was added, I'll read it. Any outdoor

[16:42] activities conducted by any permitted use in the North Broadway mixed use district must comply with

[16:48] bow and restrictions.

[16:50] A, no outdoor activities shall take place within a required setback, no amplified music,

[16:57] or amplified sounds, or committed outdoors, and no outdoor activities shall take place

[17:02] before 9 a.m. any day of the week or no after 9 p.m. on Sunday to Thursday and 10 p.m.

[17:09] on Friday, Saturday and the night before federal holiday.

[17:14] One of the things I saw on the adverse traffic impacts, there was a listing, it says the

[17:23] following shall be deemed the significant adverse traffic impact, and people came, well,

[17:29] what about this?

[17:30] Well, you know what we did was I added the language, and a minimum of the following shall

[17:35] be deemed the significant adverse traffic impact, so there could be a significant traffic

[17:40] In fact, it doesn't meet one of those, you know, quantifiable, quantifiable item center, or the food in the left. And that's it.

[18:08] Wrong and mute button. Right, but I think that's a good update.

[18:14] What I'll do is I'll probably open it up to the public since they're here and then if we don't hear from the authors of the letters, we can cover those at the end.

[18:24] But again, you know, we really wanted to hear everyone have to say, after having a nice

[18:30] extended break to think about this some more, you know, and for all years.

[18:37] So if you figure out how to raise your hand, if you can't figure out how to raise your hand,

[18:44] you can actually send a chat and say you would like to speak and we can figure that out as well.

[18:49] So on another note just so just so you know we do have a couple of people who are calling phone only I assume and if you are looking to raise your hand

[18:59] I believe you can hit star nine and that will raise your hand if you're just a phone only.

[19:08] So Taylor Palmer, what advantage of all of this is that we get to see people names right away.

[19:14] So let's take Taylor Palmer has their hand raised first.

[19:22] Taylor.

[19:24] All right, we should be unmuted.

[19:26] Good evening.

[19:28] So now I understand, I know you submitted a letter.

[19:33] And you, you want to be able to display parts of it.

[19:37] that. Indeed, thank you, Larry. If I make a Taylor Palmer with Cutting and Fader, we hope to be able

[19:41] to just present on the screen. We have David Smith, our planner and Susan Janschill, our

[20:00] We have our visuals that were submitted in our submission this afternoon. And we want to consolidate

[20:07] our time into a pre-presentation for the benefit of the

[20:14] moment. Sorry about that. I just,

[20:18] no, I promoted Taylor. I think you're reading it again. There you go. But let me just promote you as panelists.

[20:24] It's just temporary while you're presenting what you need to present and then we'll move on to the rest of the public.

[20:29] Thank you and I don't need to say I'm wearing a dime. There you go. You're not to believe me. I'm very impressed

[20:36] And Susan as well, right?

[20:39] Okay, yes, thank you

[20:41] While they're loading to try and solve it on time. I know

[20:45] David Susan are on the line and joining me this evening. We do want to thank you

[20:49] Mayor Smith and members of the board. It's a really great to see you all tonight. Thank you for the opportunity to comment during this continued

[20:56] public hearing, Susan's going to put up on the screen, some images that Dave Smith's going to review

[21:00] with us.

[21:01] As you know, we're here on behalf of the State of Santa Rubens, all the owners of the Max

[21:05] on property, 76 North Broadway commonly heard who was the Max on property.

[21:09] As I mentioned, I'm doing a joint by David Zubin.

[21:12] Rubens is all who's the representative of the owner and David Smith and Susan Jantel

[21:16] are planners.

[21:17] Again, I want to thank you for coordinating the Zoom meeting these interesting times.

[21:21] Two on both son May, Joanna, she likes these night meetings as well and likes the contributors

[21:24] as public comments, as I'm speaking.

[21:26] The record our planning installed and did submit a letter

[21:29] to the board this evening,

[21:30] inclusive of this image on the screen,

[21:32] which, again, David Smith will be reviewing specifically.

[21:37] And really, it's involving the specific new inclusion

[21:39] of impacts, as far as setbacks are concerned.

[21:42] That will add additional difficulties

[21:44] of development on the site.

[21:46] Understanding this is a public comment period.

[21:49] At this point, I am in for over to David Smith,

[21:51] and then Susan Janchil is controlling the screen here.

[21:55] But ultimately what we're here to show you tonight is that these new 75-foot

[21:59] setbacks is proposed, specifically to a residential district, which is 50 percent greater

[22:04] than what this board originally proposed, has no discernible benefits to the limited residential

[22:11] properties on strawberry lane, as compared to the existing zoning requirements.

[22:16] And then it includes a 50-foot setback, which is 50 percent larger as it stands

[22:20] from the existence of zoning.

[22:23] So this poor spent a very significant amount of time

[22:26] over the last year reviewing screen requirements

[22:28] and others, which are deliverables,

[22:31] the table present to you, show.

[22:33] And with that limited background,

[22:35] I am in turn over Dave Smith to go through,

[22:37] you know, summarize some of the points of our letter.

[22:40] But really, we've looked at this as many ways as possible.

[22:43] We tried to go up to the north,

[22:44] which is the top of the screen as you see it.

[22:46] There's existing in conferences,

[22:47] whether it's the 250 foot buffer,

[22:49] that is for North Broadway,

[22:51] as utility easement that serves the rabies property,

[22:54] and others potentially on upstruck very lane.

[22:57] And then you have the existing 50-foot step pack.

[23:00] So we're exceptionally in comfort,

[23:02] and just with that,

[23:03] we'll rest in this board as to consider

[23:04] keeping the 50-foot step pack as proposed,

[23:07] again, given all of the other constraints.

[23:09] So that'll turn it over to Dave Smith,

[23:10] and again, I really appreciate the opportunity

[23:12] tonight to be with all of you.

[23:15] Thank you for the record Dave Smith.

[23:19] Friends with planning and development advisors.

[23:23] They're planning for the state of St. Louisville.

[23:26] As you know, we've been working with the state and with the village over the past almost a year now

[23:34] on evaluating the proposed zoning for North Broadway.

[23:39] And the North Broadway zoning, as you know, has its roots in the most recently updated

[23:49] comprehensive plan.

[23:50] In fact, that the reason for the comprehensive plan update was really part of the

[23:55] main reason was to evaluate how these select properties may be resolved for future use.

[24:03] So, as Timeline mentioned, I think one of the significant issues that we have with the

[24:11] revisions, the proposal revisions, is the inclusion of the 75 foot setback along the property

[24:19] minds.

[24:20] What Susan has shown in the graphic on the screen includes the significant buffer along Broadway,

[24:27] which was one of the criteria for within the copy into plan update,

[24:36] observing that that corridor, the view of that corridor.

[24:39] And going back to some of our initial presentations,

[24:43] we've indicated and shown graphically,

[24:45] and we've had some of these graphs,

[24:47] including the most recent submission,

[24:50] about how the visual and task can be effectively mitigated

[24:54] and probably to us.

[24:59] There we go.

[25:00] The conceptual building program and its relationship to the Broadway corridor and the intervening

[25:09] topography and vegetation that affects the screen's development program from the corridor and

[25:15] preserves that view. So we can go back to S.K. Services.

[25:24] So I think what struck me the most

[25:27] about from a land use planning standpoint, is that the applicant here or the or who's all have

[25:38] going through a fairly extensive exercise at a conceptual level that identifies contemporary building

[25:45] program on the site and essentially as the the setbacks are currently laid out with the 50 foot

[25:53] step back, and the broader way of offer, you have approximately 68% of the site in

[26:00] comfort with setbacks, which significantly reduces flexibility in design. Applying the

[26:08] 75-foot setback requirement is we've got almost 80% of the site that's in comfort with setbacks.

[26:16] and significantly reduces and restricts

[26:19] flexibility and design to accommodate contemporary uses.

[26:24] And we've, in our most recent memo,

[26:27] we provided all the background that we provided

[26:30] to the village relative to those different types of uses

[26:34] and size requirements, FARs, coverage,

[26:38] in effort to help illustrate how zoning could be applied

[26:44] and development could be allowed to occur.

[26:50] That's consistent with the design approach identified

[26:55] into the comprehensive plan.

[27:00] The other issue that was raised in discussed early this year

[27:04] is who could you go to SK-3?

[27:15] So SK-3 was a graphic that was presented earlier this year

[27:19] It showed how, there were concerns with respect to offering a long strawberry lane.

[27:27] And while we don't have a plan, a specific plan prepared, we did illustrate how

[27:34] the relationship of building a long strawberry lane in relation to the site and then how

[27:41] of agitation and landscaping furnace could be accommodated within portions of the maximum property site.

[27:54] So, we feel that there is ample opportunity to screen proposed development.

[28:01] Obviously, at the time that an application is submitted, it will be reviewed and detailed as part of a site plan.

[28:06] But here, at least, conceptual, we think that we've been able to address the potential

[28:12] visual impacts.

[28:13] I'm just standing also that what we're showing right now is where the existing

[28:17] curve that is to the maximum property.

[28:21] That could be shifted further to the west to create more of a seamless buffer along the

[28:29] extent of the strawberry lane or strawberry.

[28:31] So, we understand this is an ongoing process, an ongoing dialogue with the public, with your board.

[28:42] And one of the things that my client suggested is that if the village is going to entertain a 75-foot-foot-foot-a-long strawberry ring,

[28:54] The nerve is vectorly requesting that perhaps the setback

[28:58] among the broadway core instead of being 250 feet be revised to 200 feet.

[29:05] And again, that frees up some more of the site to allow for that

[29:08] flexibility designed and allow for a compatible development within

[29:13] the confines of the site.

[29:15] So that quickly goes through the contents of the memo that we had submitted.

[29:21] There are additional graphics, which are provided as part of the memo report prepared by Susan

[29:28] Janchil.

[29:30] I'll ask Taylor if there's anything else that takes that we need to cover before I turn

[29:36] it back to you.

[29:38] Thank you, David.

[30:00] We did illustrate further the existing requirements in the code to show that the certain views you see

[30:08] view A and view B on your screen as you come up in a easterly direction on strawberry lane towards

[30:14] the residential properties visually what that screening would look like along the corridor to show again

[30:21] the 50 foot backpack or 75, there's no discernible change as far as what would be visualized

[30:29] Susan can highlight the gray box is showing a potential development program listed on our

[30:35] site plans.

[30:36] Again, showing screening in the area as proposed in the code is what is really going to make

[30:43] the difference from a potential visual aviders.

[30:47] So again, we're asking the board consider maintaining the 50 foot as proposed, which again

[30:51] is 50% greater than existing conditions on the existing code, meaning the existing zoning

[30:57] today, and or as David mentioned, it's some other alternative with the Broadway frontage

[31:04] to, again, make an economically viable and really a good development on the site and without

[31:13] overly constraining the site. So again, that's we just want to make sure that the board

[31:17] knew we've taken a heavy look at this to ensure that, again, the 50 feet and 75 feet.

[31:27] It's

[31:27] create a better solution, the screening that the board already included in the law is really

[31:32] what is the driving force here. So we look forward to continuing our discussions and certainly

[31:37] being available to the board at a future work session if there are any questions or, again,

[31:43] of course, the night of the questions come up here.

[31:48] Thank you.

[31:52] That was appreciate visuals.

[31:59] Anybody have on the board, have anything or?

[32:02] I have one quick question that perhaps Susan or Taylor could help with, and that is,

[32:10] in those draft site plans, you know, straw man, site plans, where would be the access to the parking?

[32:20] I wasn't sure if I could actually read up to date,

[32:25] Pavement indicators to show where access might be envisioned on just

[32:30] conceptually.

[32:41] Susan, I'll go ahead and let you respond on this one just as you're pulling up the

[32:44] cyclone here.

[32:46] All right.

[32:47] Wait.

[32:47] Okay.

[32:47] I was sorry.

[32:48] I was muted.

[32:49] Are you asking Marka where the access to underground parking would be?

[32:53] Yes.

[32:54] Well, it would probably be either over here, over here.

[32:58] We really didn't work that out to that level of detail, but it would be at the lower

[33:02] level because most of the underground parking

[33:04] probably would happen.

[33:06] Below right here could also happen right around here as well.

[33:10] We just really didn't work it out to that level.

[33:13] But it's possible to do it.

[33:15] Yeah, I was thinking it was going to be further

[33:17] down toward the southwest corner because of the

[33:20] great going up, up slope to that.

[33:22] Right.

[33:23] Imagine house.

[33:24] Mm-hmm.

[33:24] It could be right here.

[33:26] That's fine.

[33:27] So one of the questions is what is what

[33:29] in the building program is setting that

[33:31] in the, uh, the job with this notch. That notch. Um, if it's a, uh, assisted living or any sort of

[33:40] residential, you want to maximize the windows. So if you have a big block like this, you lose the

[33:46] center of peace for windows. So that was just, um, really just a, a conceptual look at that. And this is

[33:53] actually the 60 foot wide, um, which is probably what it would be. So this might even be drawn a little

[34:00] but too wide in this, but we couldn't,

[34:03] if we were going to be flussy about it,

[34:04] we could make it more workout,

[34:06] but it would work out like this.

[34:08] The idea of giving the box, the box design,

[34:11] just a square on the lot,

[34:13] which would really be the resultant design

[34:16] if you were to try and maximize score footage,

[34:18] wouldn't be a good, a good, or development,

[34:22] so to speak, as far as what would be necessary,

[34:25] for example, in a assisted living facility.

[34:27] So these design was sort of mimicked

[34:29] or mere off of other examples that we have looked at and submitted to this board when

[34:35] we're talking more about the FAR question.

[34:38] We're discussion.

[34:38] So that's, again, it really relates to the Windows, but this is again allowing for a better

[34:43] building design or development program over the more heavily constrained 8% limitation

[34:51] where it would be a 75% back.

[34:54] Yeah, I just wanted to know the thinking behind it.

[34:56] That's all.

[34:57] Thank you.

[34:57] Sure.

[35:00] So we'd like to comment, you don't have to be on video. I will round you. You can just go audio if you like.

[35:10] Larry, what was the reminder for the dial-in folks? It's star nine.

[35:15] Star nine, if you want to raise your hand if you're one of the two phoning colors.

[35:19] I feel like this is a really bad radio show at the column.

[35:22] We have Peter up this really family.

[35:26] Yep.

[35:27] Let me just, yeah, OK, God.

[35:35] Hey, Peter, how are you?

[35:37] I'm doing well.

[35:39] So looking at those drawings, I just

[35:43] like to point out that it shows how enormous this proposed building is compared with any of the surrounding residential buildings.

[35:55] How much it covers a lot in a zoning proposal that is given the rationale of increasing open space or preserving open space.

[36:08] I had done these diagrams.

[36:12] When I brought them in, I noticed someone had a diagram at this drawing or something similar too.

[36:19] was there, and it's much worse than the diagrams that I had prepared to show how huge building was,

[36:26] and how out of scale it is. And I just wanted to also point out that those photographs that

[36:33] supposedly show that the screening covers the building are completely

[36:39] are very deceiving. You see that great building covering above the foliage, and it gives you

[36:46] in the renderings, it gives you a sense of how enormous that building is going to be, and

[36:53] the site section show how compared with the existing view from Broadway, it completely

[37:01] overwhelmed, it completely covers the mansion, which is not the case now, so you would

[37:05] not see that historic mansion, and it looms over it to an incredible degree from Broadway.

[37:12] That's my point about that presentation, and just as a quick other comment, I'm just asking

[37:20] a hoping that the board will respond to those three letters later on that were sent in

[37:28] and put on the agenda, you know, you can deep down, including one of the simple questions

[37:33] that I address.

[37:35] I think that's all I have to say.

[37:38] Thank you.

[37:40] Looks like we have a call-in person lying.

[37:43] They figured it out.

[37:54] Hi.

[37:54] It's Patty Growbart.

[37:56] Hey.

[37:56] There you are.

[37:57] I'm good.

[37:58] I'm good.

[37:59] Just a quick question.

[38:02] I just wanted to understand how the pandemic is going to be considered in the proposal.

[38:07] Given the fact that a long-term care facility is being contemplated.

[38:11] I know, you know, in the New York Times last week, it was, you know, I think everybody

[38:17] unfortunately is aware that about a third of the COVID-19 deaths have been linked to

[38:24] some long-term care facilities, and I know one of the considerations or issues is our

[38:32] emergency services. So, just wanted to make sure that there was going to be some consideration

[38:40] and on the impacts for the village and the ability to provide services both for the residents and the village.

[38:48] Thanks.

[38:49] Sure.

[38:51] In fact, on emergency services will always be kind of the first consideration on anything,

[39:04] like Jennifer Friedman.

[39:10] Yes, hi.

[39:11] Can you hear me?

[39:12] Yeah.

[39:12] How are you, Jennifer?

[39:13] Hi.

[39:13] I'm good.

[39:14] Good evening, everyone. Nice to kind of see you.

[39:19] So thank you for continuing this conversation.

[39:25] You've heard for me many times.

[39:27] I live up on Riverview.

[39:29] I'm one of the properties that

[39:31] about the east and south east edge of Abbed House

[39:41] and several of my neighbors have also said I letters up and down. I'm two hundred river

[39:47] be road, but there were like four or five houses in a row near me that that about that property.

[39:54] I actually had planned already to thank you for increasing the setbacks in 75 feet.

[40:00] We all collectively appreciate that, as homeowners, I actually take great exception to this statement that was just made by the prior speaker that said that the number of the feet set back that bigger is not better.

[40:16] actually we completely disagree with that. We do believe that the number of feet set back from our properties

[40:21] does make a substantial difference in the quality of our lives and in the, you know, we purchased

[40:29] homes that were on woods and, you know, whereas other residents of a review did purchase homes

[40:36] that were closer to current buildings and property that was already developed hours are not

[40:43] And we absolutely appreciate the additional 25 feet

[40:49] set back.

[40:49] We feel that that's critical and very much encourage you

[40:55] to maintain that update and appreciate it

[40:58] when we saw that update.

[40:59] So thank you for that.

[41:01] And that is absolutely our perspective.

[41:03] And in fact, we would anticipate and hope

[41:05] that there would be the additional set back

[41:07] as well as screening.

[41:08] That both in concert would most effectively

[41:11] preserve the, you know, the use and enjoyment of our property and the property of those

[41:17] abutting on on the various edge edges. The screens that were previously shared by the

[41:23] prior speaker were all lower down and regarding strawberry, but obviously, to remind you that

[41:30] there are many properties as you go farther up the street that are impacted as well. And by the way,

[41:37] Of course, there are people who have contributed to this conversation that are on the other side, on the east side side, who also have their properties all aligning.

[41:49] There's probably another 10 to 15 properties. So in all together, I think I counted previously something like 20 properties that would all be impacted not just strawberry lane as was indicated on that prior slide.

[42:04] But I did want to ask a question, I did appreciate also the additional language regarding

[42:11] outdoor activity, which is something that several of us had asked about, had questions

[42:16] about and advocated for positions on.

[42:21] I thought that I read that there would be no amplified sound outdoors at all and I want

[42:30] to clarify that that is in fact correct.

[42:32] I understand there had been some debate around the idea of a temporary structure such

[42:39] as a tent and whether amplified sound inside of a tent would be considered indoor or outdoor

[42:45] activity.

[42:47] And of course, our position would be that there should be no outdoor amplified sound at all.

[42:54] Irrespective of whether a tent is erected for an outdoor event such as a wedding or anything

[43:00] else.

[43:01] So I do have that question, and secondarily, regarding outdoor activity, I just wanted to clarify whether dining would be considered outdoor activity, and I believe that what I saw in the draft was that there was an end point of 9 p.m. on weeknights and 10 p.m. on week ends, if I'm not miss I actually don't have a right in front of me because it was on my screen and I'm looking at you on my screen.

[43:29] But I wanted to clarify that because dining, my understanding really does the sounds carry.

[43:36] Sounds of dining carry. You've got plates, you've got service, you've got things clanging, people talking.

[43:43] And so I wanted to clarify that dining would not be permitted based on this current draft as an outdoor activity.

[43:56] Mary, do you know that? I don't know the answer. I will not touch your head.

[43:58] Yeah, I'm the band on Amplified Music, yes, it says no Amplified Music Rampified Sounds are permitted outdoors.

[44:11] So, so that's an absolute band on that.

[44:14] I'm tense, I don't know.

[44:15] That's a different set of things, my guess.

[44:18] I don't know how that's regulated and I don't believe.

[44:23] I don't know how that's regulated, we can talk about tense.

[44:26] And then about no outdoor activity,

[44:30] oh, yeah, whether whether whether dining outside

[44:33] is not to our activity, yeah, I guess it is.

[44:36] I mean, I don't think we talked about that specifically,

[45:00] Probably those limits are, you know, after nine o'clock or ten o'clock gets little bodies, so probably it's not going to inhibit anything. I think mainly we were thinking about, you know, weddings and parties and stuff like that, but I would say after a dining is not going to activity. If we wanted to change it to a lockdown and we could specify, I mean, we could specify that, but I, you know.

[45:25] Right, from our standpoint, if we're residential, you know, we have homes and they're

[45:30] abutting this property, which by the way, they're these very loud beagles, which I'm

[45:35] sure, because of you.

[45:36] I'm sure the mayor's heard about the beagles.

[45:38] They're very loud.

[45:39] They bark all the time, and they're quite a distance away, and we can hear them, and all

[45:43] of our neighbors can hear them all around us on Riverview.

[45:46] So it's, the sound really does carry, and particularly because of the slope, if the sound

[45:51] coming from up the slope, which is where most of this development would be. There's nothing blocking it

[45:57] with a sound traveling toward us and so it does travel quite far, quite quickly.

[46:04] Irrespective of their being woods now, we hear the Beagles loudly and we've complained about the Beagles.

[46:11] Anyway, so obviously our perspective would be that they're not be dining

[46:19] You know, as an outdoor activity after nine on weeknights, and I mean, frankly, and prefer

[46:25] earlier than 10 on weekends, so that would be a preference on our part, and just to reiterate

[46:31] regarding the 10th, I understand that maybe it was in the working section, there was some

[46:36] debate about whether a 10th constituted some kind of a temporary structure, so of course, from

[46:42] standpoint, we would not want to hear amplified sound outdoors with the 10 things,

[46:49] some kind of an exception, that would be contrary to the residential nature of that area.

[46:56] So, so thank you. Thank you. Just for the record, those vehicles are not fine.

[47:04] No, they're definitely not. I know where they are coming from. It's, yeah, the other side.

[47:10] Yeah, I thought fire works recently too, which hasn't been pleasant, but I think we figured

[47:15] out who that is as well.

[47:20] Great thanks, Jennifer.

[47:22] See you on the street.

[47:24] Anyone else, raising their hands?

[47:33] Yep.

[47:34] I'm going to go under.

[47:38] Hi, everyone.

[47:39] I don't know.

[47:40] I'm not seeing the video, so I guess you just have me an audio.

[47:43] Yes.

[47:44] If you want to be on a video, you can be on a video, I believe.

[47:47] Well, that's usually nicer for the listeners, but that's up to you.

[47:51] How do you?

[47:53] No, I don't have the control.

[47:54] I think the hostess.

[47:56] I do.

[47:56] Yeah, but if someone wants to be on video, we can put John.

[48:00] So are.

[48:01] Mine as well.

[48:02] All right.

[48:03] Hold on.

[48:09] You set the unmute again.

[48:10] I'm mute.

[48:14] Start.

[48:14] What do you do?

[48:15] You have to start.

[48:16] Oh, there we go.

[48:17] Okay.

[48:18] Boy, it looks dark behind me.

[48:19] So first I, I'm glad to see all your faces and I wish that the board and everyone, I'm sure we all have people were worrying about it, your healthy and your families and the people you care about or healthy.

[48:35] And I appreciate all the work the boards doing and try to keep our public spaces available to the community. I think that's the most important thing we will need to get out and have a little mental health break and walk in these days.

[48:49] You know, I'm listening to the zoning and I am appreciative of the noise changes, the setback changes, the restrictions that have been put on this property, but I have to tell you as I hear this I becoming more and more distraught about the idea of commercial space across the street for me.

[49:10] For those listening who don't know, my address is 39-circle drive, my drive way, and my house fronts.

[49:19] It's sideways on to strawberry lane, so I'm sort of directly across the street from the max on property.

[49:28] You know, to max on point, the setback of 75, if I need to change, trade that for less of a setback on Broadway shore, there aren't any homes right next to the Broadway.

[50:00] And anything on that property other than one non-conforming commercial use and a residential neighborhood. And I don't know why we aren't talking about houses. And now that I'm home in the era of COVID, and I'm working from home, and I'm here 24, seven in my house, and I'm over 60 years old. And I take a lot of precautions when I go out. And when I need to walk, I mostly walk the local streets.

[50:23] if I up for the exercise, I walk the hill up river view and back down, if I want something milder,

[50:31] I walk around Meadowbrook in Fargo, and I appreciate that our town is homes and quiet and

[50:37] gazelles out and it's beautiful. And none of these restrictions are going to give me that across the street.

[50:45] We're talking about a boutique hotel and assisted living 100 people living there,

[50:52] noise not abated to a nine o'clock. I mean, right now, I hear the dumpster at Naxon.

[51:00] When they show up at four in the morning, when my windows are closed, never mind in the summer,

[51:04] and it takes them 45 minutes to collect all of the dumpsters. I just can't imagine how

[51:12] different it will be if there's commercial development there. This isn't anything that the

[51:17] your accounts people are asking for. Your account is asking you to keep it residential,

[51:21] and I don't know why the board isn't considering keeping it residential. So that's been my

[51:26] request from the beginning. I am someone who knew about these hearings early on. I've come to

[51:30] most of these in the year of a pandemic. My views have become even more so. I have to say that I

[51:40] appreciate the benefits of a residential community in a residential street. I bought my home 25 years ago

[51:46] In an area that was its own residential with one non-conforming use, a quiet office building that had a little bump in traffic at nine in the morning and five in the evening, nothing one weekends and evenings, no noise, no need for light abatement, none of those issues and I'm really going to be devastated that it changes and for the worse.

[52:13] I'm stuck here now. I can't go anywhere.

[52:18] So that's all I have to say. I agree with the more specific points and peers letter. I think, you know, he has more of a handle on the real estate and some of the technical aspects. I appreciate him diving into the research and I support that 100%. So that's all. Thank you.

[52:34] Thank you.

[52:38] Anybody else,

[52:50] definitely not your last chance to, you know, be heard on this issue, continue to send your letters. I will actually move on to the letters now.

[52:59] Pull those up here.

[53:07] Let's see.

[53:09] The first letter is from Alexander Hernandez. I don't think we, I know we haven't heard from him and his is on his own. So,

[53:19] The only recently, this was back in February now, so it's not recent anymore, but it only

[53:24] recently heard about the McZoning proposal, the Reath Comprehensive Plan, and each of the

[53:31] very limited survey responses related to the private quarter on 49, if I'm a little of any

[53:35] census support. Basically, most of the letter talks about how surveys that were done as part of

[53:49] data to support the changes.

[53:56] It talks about how to propose a little expansion of both density and use.

[53:58] It's completely out of character with the neighboring area.

[53:59] 100% of the borders of the properties can be resumed

[54:01] about above presidential districts and approximately 85% of those

[54:04] ordering lots of resumed.

[54:06] I have 20 or more restrictive.

[54:08] No clear support for properties is included in the proposal.

[54:10] Only four respondents.

[54:11] This is referred back to the comprehensive plan survey.

[54:15] Only four respondents to 8% suggest that the living should be

[54:19] Yes, I'll tell you, set the user down to the proposal.

[54:23] What is clear, the survey response,

[54:24] like the system is actually the area

[54:25] and much as now and appearance.

[54:30] It's pleased for the board's lack of direct engagement

[54:32] with both my neighborhood and those other surrounding

[54:35] the properties proposed to be resumed

[54:36] to a date given what is the state.

[54:38] What has come clear to me is I have community here.

[54:40] There are three members of virtually no stakeholders

[54:41] residents are aware of what the polls will be considered.

[54:44] I would actually, this is not in the letter,

[54:46] this is my sidebar.

[54:47] I would take great.

[54:49] I'll just agree with that strongly, and I think there's a lot of people involved in this.

[54:54] Of those few who are aware, most of them understand it, I'm going to have to find a citizen support moment.

[54:58] Such I like to post a project to consider.

[55:02] Which refers to the change that our petition in 2017, every resident suppose many elements proposed and B.M.D. zoning.

[55:08] Unless you may have visited this rezoning with her, our north-curving team community and quality-life, most areas of the resident sector.

[55:13] I think we're working small with our character. We're creating a new non-central business district and giving us nothing to return.

[55:19] below is why traffic and noise created by new commercial institutional uses,

[55:22] strain out iVACs, iVAC tax revenue.

[55:26] At the word session, the board's clarified the not for profits,

[55:29] uses are generally exempt from property taxes in the payments alert,

[55:31] typically small.

[55:32] The voluntary legal continued special permit on payment of a pilot,

[55:36] a session that we're defined to limit senior living facilities for poor

[55:39] property tax, one of these as a change that our petition requested.

[55:42] It's evidently legal, as it was done in a private matter,

[55:44] because the development of one or more senior living facilities

[55:46] to NBMD to typically reduce the urge to tax base.

[55:49] Both, the Board of State at the NBMD is owning benefits,

[55:52] benefits everything, because reserves open space

[55:54] to prepare some of the single-family development

[55:56] and it widened the Broadway buffer.

[55:58] Now, sure, the first claim allowable building coverage

[55:59] at our NBMD zoning is higher than to residential

[56:01] development of the current zoning.

[56:03] Next on site, which is the greatest difference

[56:04] to be 19.5 or NBMD zoning in less than 11.3

[56:09] for residents under current zoning.

[56:11] Tests by first floor area, the huge buildings

[56:13] are groups of buildings a lot under the new zoning

[56:15] would be at scale.

[56:18] The widened Broadway buffer would have a little public benefit

[56:20] because it's slow for the max out of 90 more Broadway sites

[56:23] because she's building some more of the neighborhood.

[56:25] They're going on level about 40 feet higher

[56:27] than Broadway into block the view of the open space

[56:29] behind the attached one family dwellings.

[56:32] Four members have refused a lot of attached one family

[56:33] dwellings and B&D's own because they're an asset

[56:36] to affordable housing apartments.

[56:37] Mayor Smith said the single family houses

[56:39] don't want to get a left for corporate food

[56:40] for a million dollar homes, which is set

[56:42] and out selling the stone.

[56:42] It's responsible to generate as many garden apartments

[56:45] as well as other affordable willingness, and I close the mainstream for those who are required

[56:48] of percentage of affordable housing units, both at the time of development, so I understand

[56:51] the village would be compliance, the village to be in compliance with which necessary

[56:55] to consent to create an subject and be in the zoning offers and sent this for affordable housing

[56:59] for recovery for area.

[57:01] In our view to a lot of the testimony homes, every of the most common housing type is the order

[57:06] to encourage affordable housing needs to be in a relevant respect, Mr. Mayor Smith's observation

[57:11] But during housing market, it's not the function of zoning resolution, but it's not a forever housing type and might not be economically feasible.

[57:18] It's kind of funny that they quote me, something that only wanted to include it, but that's okay.

[57:22] Conclusion, all of them are proposal.

[57:24] In case the board wants to establish a new mixed use district repropose.

[57:27] All used to be allowed, all used to allow them to go to the MD and the district, except for the following.

[57:32] It tasks three or more family dwellings and instructions.

[57:34] They would be allowed with existing store structures, senior living facilities, and this is the except force.

[57:39] With teacotiles, conference centers, annual for-profit membership clubs,

[57:45] bed and breakfast establishments.

[57:48] This is in the for-profit membership club that's admitted to preserve the tax base.

[57:53] I think that that's for-profit membership clubs are taxable.

[57:57] Like I know are the country club is.

[57:59] This is a Virginia current and sort of use to this corporate conference and plan at all these such uses.

[58:03] being seen in a lot of requirements at 40,000 square feet, however, in order to encourage large open spaces.

[58:08] Especially along the Broadway, I formed that to be established where as a mixture of uses,

[58:11] but exist, and I'll single-family law.

[58:13] Before I am building a lot of outreach to open space,

[58:15] I'm very glad I'm on the use of incentives for restoration of historical structures,

[58:18] can be retained, but shall be smaller proposed for the NBMD district.

[58:21] The possible regulatory for institutional uses,

[58:25] places of the worship schools and museums, so that you're closer away from your lack of commercial and industrial uses.

[58:29] I don't know if we can necessarily do that.

[58:30] but then there's, I didn't count the signatures,

[58:34] but there are about a third of a page

[58:37] and then a full page.

[58:40] So those were the three letters to that we received.

[58:45] Switch back to the meeting.

[58:48] There it is.

[58:49] Peter, Peter's asked to talk.

[58:51] Okay.

[58:52] Yep.

[58:53] That's okay.

[58:56] Okay.

[58:57] Quick clarification, it was not for profit membership clubs,

[59:00] which is in the allowable uses and I see that's not to be because not for profits to my understanding and not taxable.

[59:11] Correct. I think it's a four process.

[59:14] No, it says not for profits.

[59:18] That's okay.

[59:19] I mean, that's what I'm happy to change to for profits.

[59:22] Just things like religious institutions, you can't stop anyway,

[59:26] so.

[59:26] Great.

[59:29] That's one change, Mary.

[59:32] That would be what I always thought it was for profit membership class.

[1:00:03] Thank you, Peter.

[1:00:07] All right. Well, obviously we're keeping public hearing open. So if you want to speak tonight, but you could figure out Zoom, you have at least until June 1st, the figure it out, and we'll have more meetings after that, I'm sure.

[1:00:23] So we will keep the public hearing open.

[1:00:27] And move on to our next item, which is approval of an interveneistful agreement with

[1:00:32] Westchester County for radio replacement projects.

[1:00:36] I'm going to give us some background on that, Larry.

[1:00:37] Yeah, I just, it's pretty straightforward.

[1:00:40] It's an agreement with Westchester County.

[1:00:42] They will be providing certain equipment to us.

[1:00:45] We have certain obligations back.

[1:00:48] I don't believe there's a cost to this, but we have other obligations back that will

[1:00:52] reasonable. Marianne's reviewed it from the standpoint of an agreement

[1:00:58] standpoint, and all seems to be in order. So it's a lot of a lot of

[1:01:03] phases, but everything seems to be in order. And they're anxious to move on.

[1:01:08] It affects our all three of our emergency services, police fire and

[1:01:12] ambulance. Okay.

[1:01:18] I'm just scrolling through here. I don't know second.

[1:01:23] Almost

[1:01:24] there. I have to figure out the room before the next meeting as well.

[1:01:30] Resolved to approve the interview this full agreement with the county of Westchester for the radio replacement project to enhance the emergency service communication systems used by the fire EMS public safety and answering points and hospitals and the county and the authorized bills are administrative to execute the agreement on make the motion of a I can have a second.

[1:01:49] Second.

[1:01:50] Thank you.

[1:01:51] All of favor.

[1:01:53] Aye.

[1:01:56] All right.

[1:01:58] is a award of contract for tree removal, tree pruning, and stump grinding.

[1:02:05] Again, this is a fairly regular contract that we do. I don't think we do it every

[1:02:12] year. We do it by annually. We usually extend it for a year for everything's going well.

[1:02:19] So this is our year and did it out. The low bidder in fairly competitive bidding was

[1:02:25] care of trees, which is the current contractor that we're using, and everyone's satisfied with their work.

[1:02:32] And the prices are obviously competitive.

[1:02:39] Okay.

[1:02:40] Yeah, it's pretty far down if you want to come out.

[1:02:43] The resolution for you.

[1:02:46] I must be, thank you.

[1:02:48] I'm going through the interestable agreement on my screen.

[1:02:50] Yeah, it's a lot of pages.

[1:02:52] I know.

[1:02:52] I think I got it now.

[1:02:54] I'm curious.

[1:02:55] All right, I'm ready to read now for when I have a note of the questions.

[1:03:01] We're as sealed bids were received and opened on May 6, 2020 to 11 AM in Bill of

[1:03:05] tallest follows.

[1:03:06] Care of trees, annual cost of 1 unit 51,000 annual cost for emergency bases, 11,400, annual

[1:03:12] cost of a stump grinder, 4,600, 12 cost, 67,000 for Emerald Tree and Trebcare, total cost

[1:03:20] of $78,900, almost that tree and truck care, $81,000.

[1:03:25] Where does the administrator review the bid submitted,

[1:03:27] and determine that the low spitter is in order

[1:03:29] to respond to the specifications?

[1:03:31] Now, therefore, be it resolved.

[1:03:32] The administrator's authorized to execute

[1:03:34] a purchase contract for trigger mobile,

[1:03:36] tree-primming, and some grinding with the character's ink

[1:03:39] for the unit prices specified.

[1:03:41] I'll make the motion if I can have a second.

[1:03:43] Second, all in favor?

[1:03:45] All right.

[1:03:48] All right.

[1:03:48] Okay. Next up is the word contract for miscellaneous hardware and supplies.

[1:03:55] Yeah, same thing. Again, something that we bid out on a regular basis.

[1:04:01] And there are actually three bidters and we are awarding contracts to all three on the terms that

[1:04:08] they submitted them under. Each of them, we want to have the flexibility to purchase things

[1:04:16] when they're available from the locations that they're available. So each has their own

[1:04:21] items that are that can be available and we want to use them all if we can.

[1:04:27] Very good. Great questions on this. We're as single visits received it opened on May 6, 2020.

[1:04:34] There's 11 AM available to all the follows. Everything's hardware. It's 10% discount on one by one basis.

[1:04:39] 10% on case bulk quantity, special price and product purchase and pallet form and not

[1:04:43] generally stock.

[1:04:44] Read your true value hardware.

[1:04:45] 30% off-paint.

[1:04:46] 20% off-remanger of items.

[1:04:49] Hilt high ink.

[1:04:50] 40% off tools.

[1:04:51] 45% off-sensories.

[1:04:53] Resville's Administrator will review the bits submitted and determine that the bitters are in order

[1:04:56] and responsive to the specifications.

[1:04:58] Now therefore, we resolve.

[1:05:00] Members, hilltie, ink, forty-cent off tools, and forty-five percent off accessories.

[1:05:05] The Red Civil Administrator reviewed the vids submitted and turned into that the bidders are in order

[1:05:08] and responsible to the specifications, and therefore re-resolved. The Civil Administrators authorized

[1:05:13] ex-teacher purchase contract for missile and is hargamer and supplies of each of the suppliers on the

[1:05:17] terms outlined above. I'll make a motion if I can have a second. Thank you. All in favour.

[1:05:25] Next is the World of Contract for auto-parals.

[1:05:30] Well, this is the same thing.

[1:05:33] Yeah, go right ahead.

[1:05:34] But again, we are awarding, you know, to the multiple vendors for the same reason as before.

[1:05:42] Very good.

[1:05:44] Whereas, steel bids were received and opened on May 6, 2020 to 11 A.M. and Bill Charles follows.

[1:05:48] Companies, Reds, Auto and Truck Parks, discount 5%.

[1:05:52] Children's Ford Lincoln list less 30%

[1:05:56] and is the transmissions costs cost plus 12%

[1:05:59] or Lincoln Ford Lincoln Parts only.

[1:06:02] IEH Auto Parts LLC doing business

[1:06:04] is Auto Parts plus Auto Parts.

[1:06:08] They get no points for names.

[1:06:10] Reference price less 61%.

[1:06:13] Whereas the villager minister to be the best

[1:06:14] admitted in terms of that all bids

[1:06:16] are responsive to specifications

[1:06:17] and whereas the central garage needs

[1:06:19] to purchase parts for a variety

[1:06:20] different vehicle makes and models. The same thing as the destination of multiple suppliers.

[1:06:25] Now, therefore, be a result of the Coach Administrator's offer rise. Actually, the purchase contract

[1:06:29] for auto parts with each of the suppliers in terms of that line above. I will make a motion if I can have a second.

[1:06:35] All in favor.

[1:06:39] Word of contract for use and operation of heavy equipment.

[1:06:45] You understand? Okay. Yeah, yeah. So, actually, yeah, this is a little different this year.

[1:06:51] So, this is for equipment such as excavators and loaders and dump trucks and other excavating work that we do a lot, an awful lot of.

[1:07:05] We did, we did a bid, we had received two, both of them are in order.

[1:07:11] The actual low bid was Tom Bucci excavating by about $1,500.

[1:07:18] We would like to have a secondary contractor available to us, not just for emergencies, but when the need arises that we may have multiple projects that need to get done.

[1:07:31] And so we are designating Tom Bucci and doing a contract with his firm as the primary contractor.

[1:07:41] But on a secondary basis, we will also be using Carl Dibble Inc.

[1:07:45] And he has agreed to sign a contract for the identical unit prices as Tom Bucci.

[1:07:53] So that's why the resolved clause here reads that the contract is for the same price.

[1:07:58] But the intention and it's been made clear to both both fighters.

[1:08:03] The intention is that Tom Blu-Jay will be the primary contractor with Carl Divala's secondary.

[1:08:11] Very good. Any questions on this?

[1:08:15] Whereas two bills were received for contract 2020-12 for the use and operation of heavy equipment

[1:08:21] as follows. Tom Blu-Jay excavating bid completes. It was complete.

[1:08:25] for a total bit of $16,250 carlible ink, also complete bid for $17,950.

[1:08:32] First of all, the bills administrator read the bid submitted and determined that both

[1:08:35] bids are responsive to specifications and result to award contract 2012, 2020 dash 12,

[1:08:41] for the use of operations that have equipment in the amount of $16,250.

[1:08:44] It's not mostly excavating the carlible ink and to authorize the bills administrator

[1:08:48] or excuse the contract.

[1:08:49] I'll make a motion by now a second.

[1:08:51] Second. All of there.

[1:08:56] Next is the presentation of the annual stormwater report, Larry.

[1:09:08] Salary modifications.

[1:09:10] No, that's what's not attached. I tried to save a little bit of real estate here on your agenda packet.

[1:09:18] one tire tree. Yeah, exactly. I'm sure that you're all familiar with the stormwater report.

[1:09:26] I was going to display it briefly just to refresh your memory.

[1:09:31] I can't if you'd like, but I'll quickly take it down.

[1:09:36] Let's see here.

[1:09:39] I think you'll recognize this.

[1:09:42] So more streets clean, more.

[1:09:49] Yeah.

[1:09:49] exactly. So this is the report that I know a long time board members are very familiar with this.

[1:09:57] This is a report that we are required to.

[1:10:00] Officially electronic means email lists some cleanup events that we have throughout the year.

[1:10:06] And that's one particular measure that they look at. And then there are other measures such as looking, looking for a list of discharges,

[1:10:17] You know, where we will look at outflows of stormwater, and if we see evidence of, you know, a chemical or some sort of staining or an oil slick, for example, the main show off a sheen, you know, we would investigate those, those elicit discharge. So we report on those activities and in this, in this, what I always call a very sterile looking.

[1:10:48] And so, you know, this is an example, it's just data, you know, we have, we report how many people are on our mailing list and how many people are connected to our social media accounts and we report how many mailings we may have done or, you know, the emails that would have qualified for stormwater education. So it really is a fairly routine report these days.

[1:11:13] And then the final area that we report on is what are municipal operations, what the statistics are for our municipal operations in terms of how many, how many times we send the street sweeper out to clean the road so that the debris doesn't get into the catch basins.

[1:11:35] How many times we sweep our parking lots, we measure how much debris they accumulate and how much we dispose of.

[1:11:45] We measure that and report how much that is. So it's a, again, a very data joint report.

[1:11:52] This report will be posted online because I'm sure there's some people that would like to read it very closely.

[1:12:00] But most don't, and we will be sending it up to the New York State DEC by the end of the month.

[1:12:11] And historically, we have a location if you search for stormwater on our website.

[1:12:16] There's a location where you have all past annual reports that are displayed there.

[1:12:28] So there I just like to make a comment to the general populist residents and audience that

[1:12:37] it's important that everyone who has a string running adjacent or through their property

[1:12:42] to keep it cleaned out of debris and keep the water flowing as naturally as possible.

[1:12:48] Why do I need to do that?

[1:12:51] The Brie, I mean garbage branches, any number of things,

[1:12:55] tricycles, dead bodies, whatever.

[1:12:58] But the key is that we're coming up to hurricane season,

[1:13:01] believe it or not, there was a tropical depression

[1:13:04] already recorded in the Atlantic.

[1:13:06] So it's kind of early this year.

[1:13:10] But it's at these times that we want to keep the water flowing,

[1:13:15] cleanly and quickly.

[1:13:16] he said there's not reduces the risks of flooding.

[1:13:24] Any other questions from the board or?

[1:13:28] Were there any spills this year of any sort that were?

[1:13:33] No, no, not not during this year, which ended March 9th actually.

[1:13:41] The, I've coincidentally, today I had a conversation with Villian's

[1:13:46] sector who was at a site and observe something that they want to follow up on, you know,

[1:13:53] just some, you know, downspout that was letting water run out and look to be a little bit

[1:14:00] not so clean.

[1:14:01] So he's going to be looking at that.

[1:14:03] But that's exactly what that section of our law provides for is to have a mechanism to enforce

[1:14:09] and to follow up on those types of discharges.

[1:14:13] Thank you.

[1:14:13] And when it happens, we report on it.

[1:14:22] Brian, I think that's it. There's nothing to vote on. It's just a presentation.

[1:14:28] Presentation.

[1:14:29] Fantastic. I guess now we can move on to Sally Mallory modifications for non unions staff.

[1:14:37] So the salary modifications that are presented here are all at 2% which is the rate of the most recently settled CSEA contract for the upcoming year.

[1:14:50] There are a few exceptions that are mostly steps for employees going from one step to another, but besides that.

[1:15:00] We look. Now, but you have the power though. So you can change it anyway, Juan. Although I, I never researched

[1:15:11] how long it's been. I think it dates back at least to the 80s that the salary has been the same.

[1:15:16] May even be earlier. It's certainly been the time that I've been on the board, but I think it was,

[1:15:26] I

[1:15:29] But, anyway, we're all here for the money, anyway.

[1:15:36] So I'm going to, Brian, sorry, and the fame.

[1:15:40] And the fame, very true.

[1:15:42] And we get, you know, we get to be panelists on the Zoom call, which is not everyone guys to

[1:15:45] do, except the bad.

[1:15:48] Resolved to modify the annual salaries and hourly rates affected on the dates shown below.

[1:15:55] There's effective June 1st, 2020, all of those, and I think they're all effective June 1st, but as

[1:16:03] as detailed in the attachment is what I'll add, I'll make the motion if I can have a second.

[1:16:10] Second.

[1:16:11] All in favor.

[1:16:17] Employment of part-time laborer for 86 Main Street.

[1:16:22] So, yeah, the recommendation is that we're recommending that we hire Joe Galano, who many

[1:16:34] know Joe from the hardware store, as it turns out.

[1:16:38] And he is taking on the role of managing on a day-to-day basis 86-mainstream, which, as

[1:16:47] know is a commercial residential rental building and will be in that mode for at least a couple

[1:16:58] of years if not a little bit longer.

[1:17:02] And so he'll be managing it day-to-day, he will check in on the building daily, he'll

[1:17:08] attend to any problems there may be, he'll take phone calls from the tenants if there are

[1:17:15] problems, especially in the middle of the night.

[1:17:17] Things can happen with heat and other things.

[1:17:22] He will do some light repairs.

[1:17:25] Repairs that he can't do, he'll bring in the villages contractor.

[1:17:29] You know, say a electrical, electrical, a plumbing repair.

[1:17:32] He'll bring in, you know, one of the villages contractors.

[1:17:35] Obviously communicating with us the entire time.

[1:17:38] But basically he'll take care of this building as a property manager.

[1:17:46] Maybe even collect the ram once in a while too for us.

[1:17:51] I'm kidding.

[1:17:52] That's right.

[1:17:53] Certainly in the closed location.

[1:17:57] And he obviously knows all the players in town in terms of bringing in people to take care of anything

[1:18:02] that has to be done.

[1:18:06] Good idea.

[1:18:08] Perfect.

[1:18:09] Thought to make the College of Women in the Department of Public Works.

[1:18:11] I'm in a lot of labor of part-time, $500 a month, 20 hours per month,

[1:18:16] like the May 18th, 2020.

[1:18:18] I'll make the motion if I can have a second.

[1:18:21] Thank you.

[1:18:22] All of you.

[1:18:24] Hi.

[1:18:25] Larry.

[1:18:26] Next one.

[1:18:27] Yeah, next one.

[1:18:28] Approval consultant refiner with Steven Dewey.

[1:18:31] Yeah.

[1:18:33] So yeah, this is the other piece of the puzzle, which is Mr.

[1:18:39] do we will be providing services to us as needed as it relates to any landlord tenant issues.

[1:18:50] So this is an area of his specialty and we want to get in the mode of being able to hand off any

[1:19:00] of those landlord tenant issues which as you know are, I'm certainly not an experienced person

[1:19:05] being a landlord so and I'm pretty sure Mary and didn't want to pick that section of law on

[1:19:11] either so it's quite a special thing from what it seems. So this gentleman came highly recommended

[1:19:20] by our property acquisition attorney Phil Mandelo. Phil we asked Phil if he would like to do it

[1:19:29] and he's trying to wind some things down not taking on extra work like this but he highly recommended

[1:20:00] To my life, if I don't ask if he works for do we cheat him and how?

[1:20:07] That was a softball, yes, I did, you had to hit that one.

[1:20:12] I did, I thought everyone was the dad joke.

[1:20:17] Any questions on this other than my name ones?

[1:20:21] I think it's a good idea Larry.

[1:20:24] in the table.

[1:20:25] I will read it.

[1:20:27] Resolved through through through through through the

[1:20:28] library.

[1:20:28] Through the 20, 20 to S 2013 with Stephen P.

[1:20:30] Do-E, S. Clark, P. C.

[1:20:32] The illegal services are relative to landlord

[1:20:35] 10 matters regarding 86 Main Street or

[1:20:37] of New York and office office

[1:20:38] to the Commissioner of the Ex convene

[1:20:39] side contract.

[1:20:40] I'll make the motion if I can have a second.

[1:20:43] All the favor.

[1:20:49] Next up is a board standing committee's

[1:20:52] and officers.

[1:20:54] Trustee OAs on reports.

[1:20:56] Yes, we'll start with you Mark.

[1:21:00] Yeah, not much to report, but with the revised guidelines from the governor's office, it looks like landscaping is now an accepted activity.

[1:21:14] Again, not just maintenance, but anything including cosmetic and new activity.

[1:21:22] And also, as I was telling Larry, I've seen an upswing in the number of landscape trucks and the number of street crews out around the area.

[1:21:34] And that's also reflected in the fact that permits are coming into the tree commission at this point again.

[1:21:41] Yeah, we're going to work on a way to make sure we can address those and have the tree commission be able to review those safely going forward.

[1:21:49] I shouldn't be that difficult, but we haven't gotten to that point yet. Maybe this week.

[1:21:57] Well, Terry Dev is Zoom meeting to see a tree. Yeah, so we just need to make sure that everyone

[1:22:02] is equipped properly and, you know, we weren't in a position to do that six weeks ago as, you know,

[1:22:10] but now we're much better off. You'll have to get six feet less than six feet next to a tree.

[1:22:17] I guess it's okay, right?

[1:22:18] You're not going to catch the virus from the tree.

[1:22:21] I think a tree is okay.

[1:22:22] I'm going to watch out for squirrels though.

[1:22:24] Those guys are pretty dangerous.

[1:22:27] I've seen some of masks though, so it's okay.

[1:22:31] And the Raccoon's also.

[1:22:34] They have a vozel phone too, so.

[1:22:36] What's up with that?

[1:22:38] Doc.

[1:22:40] Really nothing new, just a reminder again

[1:22:42] to please try to follow the rules of the parks, masks, and social distancing.

[1:22:51] Can I add to your report, Larry? Sure. So we are still actively working on trying to find a way

[1:22:59] to open up the tennis courts. It's not easy. Sounds easy, but it's not easy because people don't

[1:23:06] always follow the rules, so we have to work on that. And second of all, we will be making a decision

[1:23:14] at the latest by Friday on the day camps.

[1:23:18] So there's there's a question.

[1:23:21] I don't know anybody about that.

[1:23:23] No, well, we we we we we have a meeting set up with the recreation parks advisory committee on Thursday.

[1:23:30] So I expect the decision on Friday.

[1:23:32] And I know there's a rap meeting tomorrow.

[1:23:34] I think we're it's going to get. Yeah, we're gathering all sorts of information.

[1:23:38] And none of it's good.

[1:23:39] But state waiting for the county counties waiting for the state, the public that focus waiting for everyone.

[1:23:47] Now, one of the things we've learned along here, we talked about it at the last work session, is that if you're waiting for, in many cases, if you're waiting for higher levels of government to make the decision, that they don't, the decisions don't come, you need to make your decisions on your own.

[1:24:01] And you know, you try to be at least in line with other levels of government, but no one's going to make the decision for you.

[1:24:07] So, thanks, Larry.

[1:24:13] Can I?

[1:24:15] Uh, I don't know.

[1:24:16] I don't really have any reports.

[1:24:19] Okay.

[1:24:21] Yeah.

[1:24:22] Very busy as a fire department.

[1:24:25] Marine Corps is back in service, which is very good news.

[1:24:28] And it's stopped in Terry town at the moment.

[1:24:30] The department has responded to a couple of calls involving COVID-19,

[1:24:34] but with full PPE precautions and the staff continues to engage in online training during this period.

[1:25:00] They've had over almost 2,400 page views, double their normal usage last month, downloadable resources, also flourishing, the A-D-A-B books, audio books were downloaded, offer two new streaming services, eight-point TV and KELO concerts, and programs online, young children, story time, music programs, and a book discussion group for fourth and fifth grader, greatest through 84 children, a company by 60 adults.

[1:25:34] We've been working towards being as fully digital now and looking for ways that we can begin to offer actual books or audiobooks and movies to the pages before that happens.

[1:25:48] So this is a community resources that are still very available.

[1:25:52] Check the website.

[1:25:54] Jananis, did you say that acorn TV is now available?

[1:25:58] Yes.

[1:25:59] On which service?

[1:26:02] Oh, you're getting way beyond my technological abilities here.

[1:26:05] If you check the website, I'm sure it tells you.

[1:26:09] Um, eight, they were 168 TV episodes for what?

[1:26:12] So it's working.

[1:26:14] Just go to the library website and it'll be a link.

[1:26:16] I think we did that.

[1:26:17] Exactly.

[1:26:18] It's great stuff.

[1:26:19] I got one of the great courses through that. It's wonderful. It's all free.

[1:26:25] It's stuff you would ordinarily have to pay for.

[1:26:28] Mark's going to have to talk about squirrels and there's no way eight worms.

[1:26:31] I like it.

[1:26:34] Not intentional.

[1:26:35] Yeah, whatever.

[1:26:36] I see a pattern in LA. I like the spot patterns.

[1:26:40] Village administrators report.

[1:26:43] So two quick things.

[1:26:44] First is that with the help of a bunch of people, Brenda concluded and some of our department heads, we did file an application for FEMA assistance. Today, it's the first of our applications. It runs through about April 19th and the amount was about $40,000.

[1:27:07] We, it covers the emergency food response that's going on with our seniors as well as the personal protective equipment that we've been engaged in acquiring.

[1:27:18] So we'll see how that goes if it was kind of a trial balloon to see if it works, especially on the food side.

[1:27:26] And the other thing is that the station road project is ongoing and maybe I'll turn it over to Larry to tell me how wonderful it's going, right?

[1:27:35] think they're doing a good job. Yeah, I think so. So far, the complaints are

[1:27:39] can fairly minimal. Um, you know, they seem to be pretty, uh, conscientious and, uh,

[1:27:46] courteous. Well, they don't use lead bars, Larry. No, they assured me that they

[1:27:49] would not be used. And they, and they also assured me that they don't start before

[1:27:53] eight o'clock. So Larry can confirm or deny that, too. True. No, it's true. Good.

[1:27:59] And they think they're every day. Yeah, so, you know, we all have a schedule.

[1:28:08] That's it.

[1:28:09] Will each of our treasures report?

[1:28:12] And everything is status quo, we're preparing our tax bills to be mailed after next weekend.

[1:28:20] There we go.

[1:28:21] Will the choice report?

[1:28:23] I don't have one.

[1:28:25] Public comment.

[1:28:33] Otherwise, we'll go to review of action items.

[1:28:37] I didn't really have anything.

[1:28:39] I don't think so now.

[1:28:40] I will make a motion to adjourn.

[1:28:43] Do I get a second?

[1:28:44] Second.

[1:28:45] All of the papers.

[1:28:46] All right.

[1:28:48] I got a really adjourn.

[1:28:51] So I think we have time to meet with Mary Ann briefly.

[1:28:57] Sure.

[1:28:57] Yes.

[1:28:58] Okay.

[1:28:59] So I'll end this meeting.
