PRESENT: George Hritz, Chairman Donald Caetano Joanne Becker Edward McCarthy Nick Cicchetti ABSENT: David Perlmutter ALSO PRESENT: Janet A. Gandolfo, Attorney James Margotta, Building Inspector Mark A. DiGennaro, CAMCE Susan J. Portman, Assoc./Planning Christian K. Miller, Assoc./Planning Chairman Hritz called the meeting to order at 8:10 p.m. Chairman Hritz welcomed Mr. Nick Cicchetti to the Planning Board. 1. ALBERT PECK - 38-40 Kendall Avenue Chairman Hritz went over a letter for the record from Mr. Peck's surveyor regarding his two houses on 38-40 Kendall Avenue. His surveyor had researched the tax maps and wrote a letter stating that they believed that the two houses were on two lots. The Village records show them as a single lot even though the Westchester County records show them as two lots. Mr. Peck commented that Mr. Margotta said that he had to file for a sub-division because the two houses were on one lot. His surveyor said that the Westchester County maps showed them as two lots. He submitted a map dated 1897. Chairman Hritz asked him if he had made a title search. Mr. Peck answered yes. Ms. Gandolfo commented that it was just a description of the property. Discussion on the title followed. �Ms. Gandolfo explained that his property descriptions were on lot 17 on the County Title search and we had lots 9 & 10 on the Village maps. His map dated back to 1897. We didn't know if there had been any intervening changes. Mr. Margotta said that Mr. Peck had a title search done on his own. Discussion on whether Mr. Peck's documents proved that lots 9 & 10 in the County's maps were the same as lot 17 on the Village maps. Chairman asked Ms. Gandolfo if she believed that a full title search would answer this question. Ms. Gandolfo answered that she thought it would if they traced back the parcel. Chairman Hritz told Mr. Peck that if he got a title search done now and asked them to get the kind of search that can be updated by his purchaser maybe he will be able to negotiate and get credit on the sale for what they have saved on the fact that he had done the title search and all they have to do is an update. Mr. Margotta recommended that he go through a title search. Discussion on the Title search continued. Ms. Gandolfo told Mr. Peck that he could adjourn to next meeting and if it was two parcels then the Board could take it off the agenda. Mr. Caetano made a motion to adjourn the matter until next meeting. Mr. Cicchetti seconded. Motion carried unanimously. 2. CHESTNUT RIDGE - Continuation Mr. Ron Turnquist, the Architect came forward and introduced Mr. Rodrigues, the owner, Mr. Michael Sterlacci, Engineer and Mr. Hugh Campbell, manufacturer of the brick wall (retaining wall). Mr. Turnquist, by referring to the model and the blueprints explained the retaining wall. He also went over Susan Portman's July comments. Mr. Sterlacci commented that since the building on Chestnut Street had a low carpet a pump would be needed to get the sewers from that apartment up to Chestnut Street. So instead of doing that they could go by gravity by putting a 6" front line to the sewer on Depeyster Street through the parking lot and service the building that way. Mr. DiGennaro said that he didn't have the originals for the storm drainage and asked if it had changed. He commented that numerous drawings had been submitted. He expressed his concerns on the man-holes on the street. -2- �Mr. Sterlacci stated that both buildings were tied up to the sanitary on Depeyster Street. Mr. DiGennaro asked Mr. Margotta if they had to coordinate with the Fire Department. Mr. Margotta answered that if they were going to put fire sprinklers in that it was a requirement. Chairman Hritz stated that this project had been on the calendar a long time and the delay was the applicant's own fault. The Board had always been present and they had shown up, but the applicant did not. Their latest submission was made 3 business days before the meeting despite the requirements that they be submitted more than that in advance to give the Board sufficient time to look at them. This was not conducive to speedy approval. "If you can get the people who work with you, Mr. Rodrigues, to get their acts together to get the materials in to us in sufficient time for us to do our job, we can get it done on time. If everything is thrown at us at the last possible minute, its in violation of the rules". Mr. Turnquist commented that the procedures in the past were to file for Building permit and provide all the calculations for the sanitary, water and septic to the Building Inspector at that time. They had prepare those for the Board and normally it was not done. Mr. DiGennaro answered that normally, you have a standard for a one family house. You figure per capita volume in a household. This was a multi-family use. Mr. Turnquist stated that Mr. Rodrigues had done other projects, be it one family or two family and had not made any presentation to the Planning Board on these items. Mr. Margotta commented that if Mr. DiGennaro wanted the information, he should get the information. Mr. Hugh Campbell explained the retaining wall. He stated that he had built this kind of wall everywhere, in the Hudson Valley, Nyack, Consumer University Inst, in Yonkers. Mr. DiGennaro asked him where he was proposing to put the wall. Mr. Campbell, by referring to the model showed where the retaining wall was going to be built Mr. DiGennaro said that he would like to see a complete set of drawing re-submitted on one sheet. Mr. Turnquist explained why there are so many different drawings. -3- �Mr. Caetano said that if DiGennaro was an Engineer and he knew what he was doing he should be able to take one drawing from the other and put it together as a whole. There has been money spent on this project at the cost of Mr. Rodrigues. Mr. Rodrigues has been doing a lot of building in this community and he did not see why Mr. Rodrigues had to re-submit drawings and he didn't think for one minute that it was fair. Mr. DiGennaro commented that it took time to look through all the drawings. He said that time was money and his point was to protect the interests of the Village. Chairman Hritz asked Mr. Margotta if he needed a new set of drawings. Mr. Margotta said he needed one complete set of drawings. Discussion on the drawings followed. Mr. Cicchetti asked if what was already submitted was acceptable. Mr. Margotta asked Mr. DiGennaro if he had enough information on the retaining wall. Mr. DiGennaro answered that Wall A appeared to be satisfactory. He hesitated to approve Wall B. He hadn't had enough time to look at it. He needed another week. Ms. Gandolfo commented that before they started on any walls, we had to have a final set of drawings so that they could get approved. We can't be bouncing back and forth. We will not be able to clearly state exactly what this Board has approved without one complete set of drawings. So you really need to get the Board a final set of drawings. Discussion as to whether to re-draw or accept the drawings as submitted followed. Mr. Cicchetti commented that the issue was to have something that would reflect everything that was going on. For example, right now we were asking for them to be able to go ahead with the wall. He needs 3 days to check out the wall. If Mr. Margotta gives the O.K., he could start on the wall. We are not holding up anybody. As far as having something for the record he agreed with Ms. Gandolfo. Mr. Margotta stated that too many changes had been made. The final changes should be on one drawing. A request was made for them to get started. Mr. Cicchetti said if the wall can be approved and the construction could get started on that, could it be so worded that part be subject to approval. Ms. Gandolfo said that it was O.K. as long as the Engineers signed the approval. Just the wall part. As long as we have an approval in writing for the retaining wall, the applicant could start �Mr. Cicchetti made a motion to close the Public Hearing. Mr. McCarthy seconded. Public Hearing closed. Ms. Becker made a motion to make a Negative Declaration for SEQR, that this will not have a sufficient negative impact on the environment. Mr. McCarthy seconded. Motion carried unanimously. Mr. Cicchetti made a motion that the drawings be revised as recommended by the Building Inspector, Planning Board and the Engineer and our Counsel. The Resolution being that a single set of corrected drawings to reflect the proposed project. Ms. Becker seconded. Mr. Caetano substained Motion carried. Mr. McCarthy moved to approve the minutes of June 15, 1995 as submitted. Ms. Becker seconded. Motion carried unanimously. Mr. McCarthy moved to approve the minutes of August 17, 1995 as submitted. Ms. Becker seconded. Motion carried unanimously. There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned.
