Clark Associates Ellen Tsangaris James Donovan IN THE MATTER OF ARLINDO RUIVO, CORNER OF WASHINGTON STREET AND DEPEYSTER STREET John Hughes, counsel for Arlindo Ruivo, advised that the application requests approval of a site plan for a three family residence and a subdivision which would create two lots from one. A rear yard variance is requested. Mr. Galgano advised that this request be referred to the Zoning Board. A motion was made to this effect by Mr. R. Windas, seconded by Mr. Salman, and carried unanimously. 2. IN THE MATTER OF BEDFORD PARK ASSOCIATES - APPLICATION FOR PRELIMINARY SUBDIVISION APPROVAL The Secretary read the Public Notice concerning the application by Bedford Park Associates for preliminary subdivision approval for a subdivision located at the end of Amos Street. Charles Pateman, representing the applicant, advised the Planning Board that the application is a new application. Plans were submitted for a 15-lot subdivision and a 14-lot subdivision. The plans show a 50-foot wide roadway, as required by the Subdivision Regulations, and a cul-de-sac with a radius of 60 feet (the paved cul-de-sac will have a radius of 50 feet). �Charles Pateman stated that the applicant will follow the directions of the Planning Board; either plan is acceptable to the applicant. Chairman Galgano then opened the meeting for public comment. Philip Zegarelli, 35 Amos Street, stated that the residents had not yet seen the plan for the 14-unit development. The neighbors are not against development of the property, but are concerned about frontages on Amos Street and would favor a 13-unit subdivision. Mr. Zegarelli requested that preliminary subdivision approval not be granted until the State and County have reviewed the proposed subdivision. Mrs. A. Petri expressed concern whether the size of the culde-sac was adequate and suggested opening up Cottage Place, a paper street, as another exit. Mr. Salman stated that he believed that the incline of the driveways from the proposed houses onto Webber Avenue and Bedford Road would be a significant problem. He had measured a number of cul-de-sacs in the Village and would recommend a cul-de-sac with a paved radius of 60 feet as required by the Subdivision Regulations. A motion was made, seconded and unanimously carried to close the Public Hearing. Members of the Planning Board then made comments about the proposed subdivision. Mr. Windas suggested that the Board consider a 14-lot subdivision with a cul-de-sac having a paved radius of 50 feet and with each lot having 50-foot frontage. Mr. Salman noted that the Board must still deal with the needed waiver for a cul-de-sac with a length of more than 600 feet (the Subdivision Regulations do not permit a cul-de-sac to be longer than 600 feet without a waiver by the Planning Board). Mr. McCarthy stated that he believed that a cul-de-sac with a radius of 50 feet is adequate; he is opposed to any parking in the cul-de-sac. The engineer for the applicant noted that the driveways could be widened to permit off-street parking. Mr. Pateman noted that if the applicant was permitted to build only 14 houses, it could not afford to make off-site improvements to the sewer system. Mr. Salman favors a 13-lot subdivision. Mr. Windas questioned what egress will be used by the applicant during the course of construction; how will construction be conducted so that the neighbors will not be abused. The applicant will submit a plan to state how 2 �construction will be accomplished to minimize inconvenience to the neighbors. Mr. Windas stated that he also favored a 13-lot subdivision. The applicant noted that there is no application pending for a 13-lot subdivision. The only applications pending are fo^- a 15-lot subdivision and a 14-lot subdivision. Chairman Galgano called for a vote on the application 14-lot subdivision. for a The Planning Board then considered the classification of the proposed development under SEQRA. A motion was made by Mr. Windas, seconded by Mr. Ayers, that the proposed developmervt be considered an unclassified action under SEQRA, and that a negative declaration be made concerning the proposed project/ subject to the following conditions: (1) the applicant provide more detailed information concerning the vegetation and grading behind Lots 8-14; and (2) the applicant provide a wildlife corridor behind 8-14. lots The motion was carried unanimously.
