a) Public Hearings - Street AbandonmentThe Mayor recused himself from this public hearing. He turned the public meeting over
to Deputy Mayor DeFelice. Mayor Zegarelli left the room.
John Hughes distributed a survey for the Board (see attached). He spoke about the
unimproved portions of Ridge and High Streets. He stated that the David Rockefeller
Fund owns the property. He stated that the property was supposed to be turned over to
the Village but the necessary paperwork was never filed. He stated that the High Street
property is appraised at $16,700 and the Fairview Street property is appraised at $7,600.
John Hughes stated that these parcels are un-buildable based on the current zoning code
and the only persons who would have an interest in mis property would be the individual
homeowners.
Deputy Mayor DeFelice asked if the parcel to the East was developed, would these
streets be necessary to provide traffic.
John Hughes responded that the property to the left could not have any development
based on the conversation easement placed on it by David Rockefeller.

�Bob Ponzini stated that he had not seen the conservation easement. He explained the
definition of a paper street. He stated that the property owners are asking for the paper
street easements to be removed. He spoke about the three appraisals performed. He
stated that the only persons who would be interested in the property would be the
individual landowners. Lastly, he stated that there is an easement for a road in between
two properties that cannot be developed.
Deputy Mayor DeFelice asked if other property owners were required to be notified.
Bob Ponzini responded no. He stated that only the public notice is required.
D wight Douglas asked if the conservation easement applied to these parcels.
John Hughes responded yes.
Dwight Douglas stated that if the zoning code were more permissive, the value of the
streets would not be worth much.
Bob Ponzini stated that the property values were determined as a value to the adjacent
property owners.
Dwight Douglas stated that the once the zoning restrictions and conservation easements
are placed on the property, the property value is greatly reduced since the property will
not be developed.
Trustee Grala asked how would this work with the Rockefeller Fund.
Bob Snyder responded that the necessary paperwork would be signed off by the
Rockefellers.
Deputy Mayor DeFelice opened the public hearing.
Mario Belanich (153 Washington Street) stated that there is nothing indicating the
amount of land being sold.

required. He stated that the public notice is correct
Mario Belanich asked about the amount of property owned by each property owner.
The amount of land owned by each property owner was stated.
Mario Belanich asked if two or three homes could be built on each property.
Sean McCarthy responded that the current zoning is R-l and would cot be legal lot sizes
for development
John Hughes stated that a house already exists on each lot and along with the
conversation restrictions; an additional house could not be built
Deputy Mayor DeFelice asked if the stipulation restricting future development has been
signed.

Village Board of Trustees Special Session, Jaly 1% 2M5

�John Hughes responded if the Village wants to have this covenant added to the deed, it
would be an additional layer that would restrict future development.
Mario Belanich asked what would happen if the Village wanted to develop the 22-acre
property to the East.
Don Stever stated that the remaining 22 acres are owned by the Lyden's and according to
the restrictive covenant, could not have any significant development on it.
Mario Belanich stated that if the property to the East was sold to the Village in the future
and the Village wanted to develop it, roads would be necessary.
Bob Ponzini stated that the 22-acre parcel to the East could not have more than 5-houses
built on it based on the current zoning code.
Don Stever stated that if the property were to be developed, the parcel would have to be
sub-divided. He stated that the developer would have to have an access road built as a
public street and then dedicated to the Village. He staled that the developer would have
to construct the roads according to Village standards. He stated that there would never be
any development in this area.
