Present: Mayor Gandolfo Trustee Treacy Trustee Cicchetti Trustee Marren Trustee Alter Trustee Rey Trustee Hyland Also Present: William T. Regan, Village Administrator John J. Hughes, Jr. Village Attorney Mayor Gandolfo called the meeting to order with a pledge to the flag. The Mayor stated that the purpose of this special meeting was for the Board of Trustees to vote on the proposed group home for 1 Evergreen Way. Trustee Marren, Chairman of the Citizens' Committee which was formed to review this proposal, stated that according to state law, the Village has three options; approve the proposed location, object to the proposed location or select at least one other suitable location. The ad-hoc Committee formed to study the proposal opposed the proposed site because of poor access to public transportation, lack of parking and sidewalks, and because the Village already has the largest percentage of tax exempt property in the County. The Committee had suggested another possible site at 194 Beekman Avenue. The Mayor and the Board objected to this or any other alternative site without having first notified the residents in that area. Since time was of the essence, there would be no time for a public hearing to be held for these residents to voice their opinions. After much discussion, Trustee Marren moved to object to the proposed community facility at 1 Evergreen Way on the basis of concentration and several other reasons. A resolution is attached. This resolution was seconded by Trustee Cicchetti and motion carried 6-0. Trustee Marren moved to engage Sive, Paget & Riesel to assist the Board through the next p r o c e s s , whereby the State Commissioner of Mental Health schedules a public hearing to rule whether there is concentration. The motion was seconded by Trustee Cicchetti and was carried 6-0. 1 �tA V Our Village Attorney, John Hughes, Jr. recommended this law firm because of its experience in helping municipalities fight community facility proposals. There being no further business, Mayor Gandolfo adjourned the special meeting. Respectfully submitted, Angela Everett Deputy Village Clerk 1 �I WHEREAS, the Board of Trustees of the Village of North Tarrytown has received a letter dated August 22, 1990 from Planned Community Living Inc. expressing its intent and interest in establishing a c o m m u n i t y facility for the mentally retarded/mentally impaired at 1 Evergreen Way, North Tarrytown, New York; and WHEREAS, the Board of Trustees of the Village of North Tarrytown opposes the establishment of this community facility for reasons which include, but are not limited to, the following: (1) the existence of this community facility in the neighborhood in addition to the Phelps Mental Health Center; and Farrington House would result in such a concentration of community residential facilities for the mentally disabled in the area of 1 Evergreen Way, North Tarrytown, New York that the nature and character of the area would be detrimentally altered; (2) an additional community residential facility would further financially burden the Village of North Tarrytown, a village with the largest percentage of tax-exempt property in Westchester County; and (3) the residence at 1 Evergreen Way, North Tarrytown,New York is particularly unsuitable for a community residence facility due to lack of parking, sidewalks and public transportation. NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS RESOLVED that the Board of Trustees disapproves and rejects to the establishment of a community facility for the mentally retarded/mentally impaired at 1 Evergreen Way, North Tarrytown, New York and directs the Village Attorney and /or his designees to prepare and transmit a letter objecting to the establishment of this community facility. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
