[00:00:06]
SO, UH, WE SHOULD[I. CALL TO ORDER]
START.PLEASE STAND FOR THE PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE.
PLEDGE FLAG OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, AND TO, FOR WHICH HE STANDS, ONE NATION UNDER GOD, INDIVISIBLE, WITH LIBERTY AND JUSTICE.
HERE, VILLAGE ATTORNEY WHITEHEAD, HERE.
[IV. PULBIC HEARING ON PROPOSED LOCAL LAW E OF 2025]
ITEM ON THE AGENDA IS A PUBLIC HEARING ON, UH, PROPOSED LOCAL LAW E OF 2025.SO, UM, THIS IS A LOCAL LAW AMENDING SECTION 27 2 17 DASH SEVEN A PERFORMANCE STANDARDS PERMITTING NOISES OF THE CODE OF THE VILLAGE OF HASTINGS ON HUDSON TO UPDATE HOURS OF CONSTRUCTION.
AND ATTORNEY WHITEHEAD CAN SUMMARIZE THE CURRENT ITERATION AND OF THE PROPOSED LAW.
SO THIS LAW AMENDS THE PERMITTED CONSTRUCTION HOUR, SHORTENS THEM TO 7:30 AM TO 6:30 PM MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY, NINE TO FIVE ON SATURDAY.
UM, NO CONSTRUCTION PERMITTED ON SUNDAY OR NEW YEAR'S DAY.
PRESIDENT'S DAY, MEMORIAL DAY, INDEPENDENCE DAY, LABOR DAY, THANKSGIVING DAY, AND CHRISTMAS DAY.
THESE LIMITATIONS DO NOT APPLY TO THE PERFORMANCE OF NECESSARY EMERGENCY REPAIRS OR TO HOME CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS UNDERTAKEN BY THE HOMEOWNER.
UM, SO DOES, UH, IS THERE ANYONE WHO WOULD LIKE TO ADDRESS THE BOARD REGARDING THE, UM, WHY NOT? HI, MY NAME IS MARGARET CARROLL.
UH, FIRST OF ALL, I WOULD LIKE TO THANK YOU FOR THE MOVEMENT THAT YOU HAVE MADE ON THE CONSTRUCTION ERRORS.
IT DOES MAKE A HUGE DIFFERENCE.
I AM, HOWEVER, GOING TO ASK FOR ONE MORE THING.
WHERE'S I LIVE IN APARTMENT FIVE P, WHICH MEANS MY BALCONY, MY LIVING ROOM, AND MY BEDROOM WHEN DOES ALL FACE DIRECTLY NORTH.
SO THAT WAVE OF SOUND IS COMING STRAIGHT AT ME.
I HAVE A FAVORITE PROVISION IN THE DOBBS FERRY CODE, WHICH TO SUMMARIZE IT BECAUSE IT'S NOT WORDED VERY WELL, IT BASICALLY SAYS IF CONTINUOUS SOUNDS ARE GOING TO BE AUDIBLE AT 300 FEET, THEN EV THEN YOU HAVE TO HAVE A 30 MINUTE BREAK WITHIN EVERY THREE HOUR PERIOD.
IT'S AWKWARDLY WRITTEN AND IT'S ALL, IT'S KIND OF AWKWARD TO SAY, BUT, UM, WE ARE STILL FACING, EVEN WITH THE TREMENDOUS, UM, CONCESSION THAT YOU GAVE US, WE'RE STILL FACING THE POSSIBILITY OF 11 HOURS A DAY OF CONTINUOUS NOISE.
ANY OTHER COMMENTS ON THIS PROPOSED LOCAL LAW? HI, MY NAME IS HOWARD LINGA.
UM, YEAH, AS FAR AS THIS NOISE THING GOES, UM, EVEN NOW I GET WHEN THE LEAF BLOWERS ARE OVER THERE AND THE, AND THE GRAHAM SCHOOL IS COMING, YOU KNOW, THROUGH MY DOORS, THROUGH MY WINDOWS.
AND, UH, I WOULD LIKE FOR ELECTRIC OWL TO PUT INTO THEIR BUDGET THAT WE HAVE SOME KIND OF SOUNDPROOF, UH, WINDOW SITUATION BECAUSE, UM, IT'S GONNA BE NOISY ON A, ON A CONTINUAL BASIS.
AND I DON'T THINK, I THINK THAT THEY SHOULD, UH, MAYBE RESPECT OUR, OUR, UH, PRIVACY, OUR BUILDING, OUR, OUR OUR LIFE.
SO, UH, THEY'D APPRECIATE IF YOU COULD PUT THAT TO ELECTRIC OWL AND SEE IF, UH, HAVE THEM PUT THAT INTO THEIR BUDGET.
THAT, AND NOW IT'S CANCELING HEADPHONES,
ARE THERE ANY OTHER PUBLIC COMMENT? OKAY, NO ONE ELSE.
EVA, CAN YOU PULL THE MIC DOWN?
NOT TO SEE THE MAYOR HERE TODAY
[00:05:01]
FOR THIS.AS I SAID, MY SWAN SONG, YOU ARE ALL REPRESENTATIVES OF HASTINGS RESIDENTS WHO PROMOTE AWARENESS OF CLIMATE CHANGE.
YOU'VE GOTTEN AWARDS AND WHO PRO PROTEST AND PROTECT DEMOCRATIC VALUES FOR ALL AMERICANS.
BUT UNETHICALLY YOU HAVE CHOSEN TO SAY NOT FOR OUR NEIGHBORS.
HERE WE ARE NEIGHBORS ON DUDLEY STREET, A VIBRANT AND GREEN AREA SURROUNDED BY A NATURE PRESERVE.
YOU CONTINUALLY TALK ABOUT BUILDING BUTTERFLY GARDENS TO SAVE THE MONARCH, BUT NOTHING ABOUT THE HUMANS ON THIS STREET.
NOT EVEN THE OH YES, THE MONARCHS.
I GUESS NONE OF YOU HAVE GONE UP TO SEE THAT, BUT WE HAVE, AND YOU SHOULD LOOK AT THE COVER OF THE PARKS DEPARTMENT PAMPHLET FOR GLENWORTH.
IT'S A MONARCH RIGHT ON THE FRONT.
YOU ALSO KNOW, UM, THE ENVIRONMENTAL PREDICTION FOR INDUSTRIAL CONSTRUCTION ON GREEN AREAS AND THE DEVASTATING EFFECT ON THE PHYSICAL AND MENTAL HEALTH OF THE HUMAN RESIDENTS AND THEIR HOME VALUES.
AND YET YOU ARE IMMORALLY STILL PLANNING TO ALLOW CONSTRUCTION SIX DAYS PER WEEK, 11 HOURS PER DAY, AND EVEN ON SOME LEGAL HOLIDAYS.
AND NO REGULATION ABOUT SOUND LEVEL OR DURATION, AS WAS JUST SAID TO ME, THIS IS A BERLIN WALL YOU ARE BUILDING IS A DISGRACE TO ALL THE VALLEYS YOU USE.
THE PEOPLE IN HASTINGS PRETEND TO SUPPORT.
PERHAPS YOU SHOULD EX REEXAMINE YOUR NIMBY MENTALITY HERE OR JUST RENAME THE VILLAGE TO GIVE NEIGHBORS A HEADS UP.
EVEN YONKERS HASN'T DONE THIS TO THEIR RESIDENTS.
UH, ARE THERE ANY OTHER PUBLIC COMMENTS ON THIS LOCAL LAW? OKAY, SO, UH, THEN WHAT WE WOULD, OH, SORRY.
UM, I'M MARY CAREY FROM RIVER EDGE, AND I'D ALSO LIKE TO KNOW IF IT'S FEASIBLE OR IF THIS IS EVEN A PROPER TIME TO ASK TO PRESENT A BUDGETARY WINDOW REPLACEMENT FOR THE NORTH FACE OF THE BUILDING.
OR IF THAT'S JUST A PUBLIC COMMENT IS AS, AS TRUSTEES.
DO YOU EVEN THINK THAT'S A FEASIBLE, FEASIBLE, OR REASONABLE QUESTION? RESPOND TO COURT ISSUE? YEAH.
WE DON'T HAVE THE AUTHORITY TO IMPOSE THAT ON.
SO ELECTRIC OWL, I GUESS I WOULD BE LOOKING FOR SUGGESTIONS FROM THE TRUSTEES.
WOULD WE JUST CONTACT THEM DIRECTLY AS NEIGHBORS? THE, UM, I THINK THE, AT THIS POINT, IT'S ALREADY BEEN APPROVED BY THE PLANNING BOARD AND THE, OH, THE BUILDING TRUSTEES BUILDING.
SO IT WOULD HAVE TO GO TO THE BUILDING DEPARTMENT IN, UH, FOR AN AS OF RIGHT REVIEW, WHICH WOULD MAKE IT, I BELIEVE, DIFFICULT TO ADD A, SOMETHING THAT'S NOT ALREADY IN THE BUILDING CODE AND PUT, PUT THAT SO IT WOULD BE OUT OF THE GOODNESS OF THEIR HEART.
PROBABLY THAT, I MEAN, THAT DOES HAPPEN ON OCCASION.
AND THAT'S PROBABLY, I SUSPECT THAT THAT IS THE LOGICAL, UH, AVENUE AT THIS POINT.
DID YOU THINK IT WAS ABOUT 15 WINDOWS? IT'S NOT VERY MANY.
'CAUSE WE'RE A NARROW BUILDING GOING EIGHT STORIES.
EIGHT STORIES, EIGHT STORIES, TWO, TWO WINDOWS AND THEN SLIDE.
SO YOU'RE SUGGESTING THAT WE PRESENT THAT TO ELECTRICAL AND YOU POSSIBLY DO THAT? I DON'T KNOW IF THAT'S IN MY
I DON'T, I DON'T KNOW THAT THERE'S, I, WHAT I CAN SAY IS I DON'T KNOW THAT THERE ARE OTHER AVENUES THAT ARE STILL OPEN MM-HMM
BUT YOU WOULD ENCOURAGE THAT I CAN.
I DON'T THINK I CAN ENCOURAGE YOU TO, TO CHOOSE THAT, BUT I THINK THAT THERE'S, THERE, IT'S ALREADY PASSED OTHER, OTHER, UM, AGENCIES.
IT'S SOMETHING YOU COULD ASK THEM FOR, BUT THE VILLAGE IS NOT IN A POSITION TO MAKE THEM DO IT.
UM, SECONDLY, I JUST WAS WONDERING IF THERE IS A DECIBEL, UM, ALLOWANCE, THERE IS A DECIBEL PROVISION IN THE CODE.
DO WE KNOW WHAT IT IS? I DON'T REMEMBER.
I THINK THAT'S REALLY IMPORTANT.
FOR US TO ALL ADDRESS AND MAKE SURE THAT IT'S, UM, ENFORCED.
AND HOW DO WE ENFORCE IT? YOU CAN
AND THIS IS PUBLIC COMMENT WHERE YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO BE TALKING TO THE BOARD, TO THE BOARD, NOT TO EACH OTHER.
ON MARY'S COMMENT ABOUT HOW DO WE MEASURE IT, UM, I LOOKED IN THE CODE, I KNOW THERE'S A DECIMAL LEVEL, BUT THE, IN ORDER TO MAKE CLAIM UNDER YOUR CODE THAT THE NOISE, THERE'S A NOISE VIOLATION, YOUR CODE SPECIFIES A VERY PARTICULAR PIECE OF EQUIPMENT AND I PRICED IT OUT AND IT COST LIKE $2,500.
[00:10:01]
TO PLEASE CONSIDER ALLOWING US TO MEASURE NOISE LEVELS BY USING A MORE COMMON AVAILABLE APP OF SOMETHING.CAN YOU ALSO JUST STATE YOUR NAME AND, AND ADDRESS PLEASE? MARGARET CARROLL.
UH, ANY OTHER COMMENTS FOR PUBLIC COMMENT? OKAY.
SO THEN I WOULD LIKE TO, UM, UH, UH, HAVE A MOTION TO CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING AND THEN WE CAN HAVE, UM, UM, UH, SO ANYWAY, SO MOTION FOR PUBLIC HEARING TO CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING, PLEASE.
[VI. APPROVAL OF MINUTES]
SO WE CAN NOW MOVE ON TO THE APPROVAL OF THE MINUTES AND, UM, UH, SO THE APPROVAL OF THE MINUTES FOR THE REGULAR MEETING OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES FROM JUNE 3RD, 2025.ARE THERE ANY SUGGESTED CHANGES FROM THE TRUSTEES, ADDITIONS, DELETIONS, ET CETERA? IS THERE A MOTION? SO MOVED.
[VII. APPROVAL OF WARRANTS]
NOW WE CAN MOVE ALONG TO THE APPROVAL OF THE WARRANTS.UM, THESE ARE CURRENT RIGHT HERE? YES.
THE AGENDA HAS THE, WITH THE UPDATE THAT I'VE PROVIDED THIS MORNING.
SO, GENERAL FUND AA 504,192 AND DOLLARS AND 1 CENT, FEDERAL DRUG GRANT CD $6,163 AND 21 CENTS DRAPER FUND, EM $741 AND 67 CENTS POOL FUND, ER $13,658 AND 68 60 7 CENTS CAPITAL FUND, HH $13,102 AND 50 CENTS LIBRARY FUND, LL $18,926 AND 92 CENTS.

PROFESSIONAL ESCROW TT $2,611 AND 57 CENTS.
IS THERE A MOTION TO APPROVE? SO IS THERE A SECOND? SECOND.
[VIII. PUBLIC COMMENTS]
SO NOW WE WILL MOVE ALONG TO PUBLIC COMMENT.IN GENERAL, UH, IS THERE ANYONE FROM THE PUBLIC WHO WOULD LIKE TO ADDRESS THE BOARD? EVENING, DAVE SKOLNIK, 47 HILLSIDE.
UM, JUST A COUPLE OF QUESTIONS ABOUT, UH, THIS EVENING'S AGENDA, UM, UNDER VILLAGE MANAGER'S REPORT.
UM, ITEM TWO, UH, PROPOSED AMENDMENT TO PEDDLING VENDING AND SOLICITING LAW.
UM, I DIDN'T WANT TO BRING, UH, THIS UP DURING THE COMMENT PERIOD JUST NOW.
UM, BUT THERE HAS BEEN AN ISSUE THAT HAS COME UP, UH, OVER THE LAST COUPLE OF MONTHS THAT, UM, WITH REGARD TO NOISE AND THAT RELATES TO, UH, THE VILLAGE CODE IN A COUPLE OF PLACES I'VE SPOKEN BOTH WITH THE, UM, UH, POLICE DEPARTMENT AND WITH THE VILLAGE CLERK.
AND ULTIMATELY I'M WONDERING, IT HAS TO DO WITH THE, UM, SPECIFICALLY, UM, THE ICE CREAM TRUCK AROUND THE SCHOOL.
AND I WOULD JUST, I'M NOT LOOKING TO RUIN ANYBODY'S LIVELIHOOD OR ENJOYMENT.
UM, BUT IT'S, IT GOES TO WHAT I'VE NOTICED LOCALLY ABOUT THE LACK OF ENFORCEMENT AT TIMES OF SOME OF THE BASICALLY VILLAGE CODE, WHETHER IT HAS TO DO WITH PARKING, UH, IN CERTAIN PLACES, UH, OR AS IN THE CASE OF THE ICE CREAM TRUCK.
UM, SO WHAT I'M ASKING IS WHAT THE PROCESS WOULD BE TO HAVE, I DON'T KNOW WHO EXACTLY, WHETHER YOU AS A BOARD WOULD LOOK, REVIEW THE REGULATIONS THAT RELATE TO THIS AND SEE WHETHER THERE'S SOMETHING YOU'D WANT TO DO TO REVISE THEM, OR WHETHER YOU THINK THEY'RE, THEY ARE THERE FOR A REASON AND THEY NEED TO BE MORE, UM, FULLY ENFORCED, UH, WITHOUT MY HAVING TO MAKE MYSELF, YOU KNOW, THE USUAL VILLAIN IN THIS.
SO, UH, THE, THE, THE ONLY QUESTION ABOUT IT IS HOW WOULD, HOW WOULD THAT PROCEED? UM, THE ONLY OTHER THING, UH, QUESTION ON NUMBER FIVE FOR TODAY, PROPOSED TREE INVENTORY.
AND I WAS WONDERING WHETHER THAT WOULD, UM, IT'S A REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL, BUT WOULD THAT INCLUDE, UH, VILLAGE TREES, LOCAL, UM, MUNICIPAL TREES, OR IS THAT JUST FOR AREAS OF,
[00:15:01]
OF PARKLAND? AND I THINK THAT'S THE ONLY TWO QUESTIONS I HAD.WOULD ANYONE ELSE LIKE TO ADDRESS THE BOARD? OKAY, SO THANK
[IX. RESOLUTIONS]
YOU.THEN WE WILL MOVE ON TO, UH, RESOLUTIONS AND START WITH 73 OF 25 AUTHORIZATION TO EXECUTE, UH, AGREEMENT WITH FIELD HALL FOUNDATION FOR THE DANCE FOR PARKINSON'S MOVEMENT PROGRAM.
SO, UM, UH, THIS RESOLUTION REFLECTS SOME GREAT NEWS WE'VE RECEIVED RECENTLY THAT WE ARE AWARDED A GRANT, UH, FOR A DANCE PROGRAM GEARED AT SENIORS VILLAGE MANAGER, MUR VILLAGE MANAGER MURPHY CAN PROVIDE A FEW MORE DETAILS.
WOULD YOU CARE TO PROVIDE IT? SURE.
UM, THIS WAS, UH, KIND OF A PRECIPITATED BY A PILOT PROGRAM, UH, THAT HAD BEEN INITIATED, I THINK, INITIALLY BY THE SENIOR COUNCIL.
AND WE HAD A PILOT PROGRAM OF, UH, MOVEMENT, UH, WAS GEARED TOWARDS PARKINSON'S, BUT ANYBODY WITH ANY KIND OF MOVEMENT ISSUES IS, WAS WELCOME TO PARTICIPATE.
UH, IT WAS A VERY SUCCESSFUL PROGRAM AND WE WANTED TO CONTINUE TO OFFER IT.
SO WE MADE A, UM, GRANT APPLICATION TO THE, UM, FIELD HALL FOUNDATION, AND THANKS TO THE FIELD HALL FOUNDATION, WHO WAS VERY GENEROUSLY FUNDED THE PROGRAM FOR A YEAR, UH, AT, UH, $10,490.
WITH THE SPACE, OBVIOUSLY WE, YOU KNOW, WE, WE GIVE FOR FREE AND WE GIVE PARKING FOR ALSO, UH, TICKETS TO THE, OR PARKING, UH, VOUCHERS FOR, NO, NOT VOUCHERS, JUST PARKING STICKERS SO THE CARS CAN PARK FOR FREE.
IT HAD BEEN, UH, OCCURRING AT THE JHCC, BUT THERE WERE SPACE LIMITATIONS AND SOME CONFLICTING PROGRAM TIMES.
AND THEY'VE ACTUALLY, THE INSTRUCTORS HAVE BEEN DOING IT, UH, PRO BONO, UM, EVEN SINCE THE, THE PROGRAM, THE PILOT ENDED.
SO, UH, WE'RE REALLY EXCITED TO, UM, START IT AGAIN.
MOST OF THE FUNDS IS FOR INSTRUCTORS IN, IN INSTRUCT INSTRUCTION FEE, UH, FOR FEES FOR THE INSTRUCTORS, A LITTLE BIT FOR PROPS AND EXERCISE EQUIPMENT.
UH, IT'S A PRO, IT'S A WEEKLY DANCE CLASS FOR PEOPLE WITH PARKINSON'S AND THEIR CAREGIVERS.
UH, THE CLASSES ARE ACCESSIBLE TO ALL, REGARDLESS OF THEIR MOVEMENT ABILITY, UH, SEATING SEATED STANDING, DIFFERENT CHOREOGRAPHIES AND OTHER MODIFICATIONS.
UH, SO WE'RE REALLY EXCITED TO BE ABLE TO OFFER THIS PROGRAM AND, UM, WOULD APPRECIATE THE BOARD'S, UM, AUTHORIZATION FOR ME TO EXECUTE THE DOCUMENTS AND, AND, UH, AND GET IT STARTED.
SO I'LL JUST, UH, READ THE RESOLUTION.
UH, SO BE IT RESOLVED THAT THE MAYOR AND THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES AUTHORIZE THE VILLAGE MANAGER TO EXECUTE AN AGREEMENT WITH FIELD HALL FOUNDATION FOR FUNDING THE DANCE FOR PARKINSON'S MOVEMENT PROGRAM AND THE AMOUNT OF $10,490 AS ATTACHED.
SO 74 OF 25 IS THE ADOPTION OF THE UPDATED HEAT EMERGENCY PLAN.
UH, RESOLVED THAT THE MAYOR AND BOARD OF TRUSTEES ADOPT THE UPDATED HEAT EMERGENCY PLAN AS ATTACHED.
AND, UM, JUST I, I WANTED TO ADD, UM, THAT, UM, MOST OF THE BOARD MEMBERS, UM, UH, PROVIDED COMMENTS ON THE REPORT, SO THANK YOU TO THE BOARD MEMBERS AND, UM, THE COMMISSIONS WHO PUT THE REPORT TOGETHER.
UM, IS THERE A MOTION, SO MOVED.
IS THERE A SECOND? MAY I INTERRUPT YOU FOR JUST ONE MINUTE? YOU MAY.
UM, SO THERE WERE, WE RECEIVED A FEW COMMENTS LATER IN THE DAY.
UH, SOME FROM ILEY AND SOME FROM BOARD MEMBERS.
THEY'RE, THEY'RE EITHER VERY FACTUALLY ORIENTED FROM ILEY IN TERMS OF THE, UM, ASSESSMENT TYPE OF, UH, METRICS USED TO MEASURE CERTAIN THINGS.
AND, AND FROM THE BOARD, UH, CORRECTING CERTAIN LANGUAGE, NOTHING REALLY, I THINK SUBSTANTIVELY CHANGING THE DOCUMENT, BUT I JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT THE BOARD WAS OKAY WITH US, INCLUDING THOSE, UM, CHANGES IN THE DOCUMENT IN THEIR, IN THEIR, UH, RESOLUTION.
SHOULD WE, UM, HEAR THEM? IT DOESN'T LOOK LIKE THERE ARE MANY THERE
UH, SURE I CAN, YEAH, I CAN SHARE THEM.
UM, THERE'S A, UH, UH, UH, SOME REVISIONS FROM ILEY, UM, ABOUT THEIR NEW, UM, MEASURING, UM, METRIC CLIMATE EXPLORER, WHICH IS A, A DIFFERENT, UH, IT'S A, IT, IT, THE, THE, THE SOFTWARE THAT THEY WERE USING BEFORE TO MEASURE THINGS, THEY'VE, THEY'VE RETIRED AND IT'S, IT'S NO LONGER IN USE.
SO THE, UM, THE EXTREME HOT DAYS AND HEAT WAVES, UH, ARE MEASURED BY CLIMATE
[00:20:01]
EXPLORER, WHICH IS A NEW, UH, NEW PROGRAM THAT THEY HAVE.AND, AND THE CHARTS, UM, ARE CHANGED SLIGHTLY, UH, TO REFLECT THAT NEW PROGRAM.
AND THEN THE OTHER CHANGES ARE, UH, FORMATTING, UM, AND CONSISTENT REFERENCES TO THE VILLAGE AS, YOU KNOW, HASTINGS ON HUDSON OR THE VILLAGE, UM, UH, SOME TYPOS AND OH, AND THE INCLUSION OF A SECTION ON THE SPOTTED SPOTTED LANTERN FLIES, WHICH IS, WHICH IS SUBSTANTIVE.
SO I TAKE BACK MY FAR PRIOR STATEMENT ON THAT.
UM, AND THEN, UM, JUST CHECK, YOU KNOW, CHECKING THE, THE, UH, VARIOUS LINKS.
I DID CHECK THROUGH THEM, BUT IT NEVER HURTS TO HAVE ANOTHER PAIR OF EYES ON THAT.
AND, UM, UH, YOU KNOW, MAKE SURE THAT ALL THE BUILDINGS THAT WE IDENTIFY AS VULNERABLE, UM, ARE STILL APPROPRIATE.
THOSE ARE THE, THE, THE, UH, ISSUES THAT, THAT HAVE BEEN BROUGHT UP.
ARE THERE ANY COMMENTS FROM THE OTHER BOARD MEMBERS? UH, IS THERE A MOTION I MOVE? IS THERE A SECOND? SECOND.
SO MOVING ON TO 75 OF 25 ADOPTION OF THE UPDATED CLIMATE VULNERABILITY REPORT.
IT IS RESOLVED THAT THE MAYOR AND BOARD OF TRUSTEES ADOPT THE UPDATED CLIMATE VULNERABILITY REPORT AS ATTACHED, UH, VILLAGE MAN MANAGER MURPHY.
DO YOU HAVE ANY OTHER ADDITIONAL UPDATES FOR THAT ONE? UH, NO, THE, THE, THE, THE, UM, UPDATES THAT I GAVE YOU WERE THE, UH, THE SAME, UH, FOR THAT, THAT AS WELL.
UH, IS THERE A MOTION? SO MOVED.
[X. VILLAGE MANAGER’S REPORT]
YOU.UH, SO NOW WE'RE GOING TO MOVE ON TO THE VILLAGE MANAGER'S REPORT, AND YOU CAN REPORT ON THE, EACH OF THESE ISSUES, AND PERHAPS EVEN IT MIGHT BE RESPONSE TO SOME OF THE QUESTIONS FROM THE PUBLIC COMMENTS.
UH, THANK YOU TRUSTEE ALLGOOD.
UM, FIRST I JUST WANTED TO UPDATE THE BOARD.
UH, WE HAVE A COUPLE OF NEW GRANT APPLICATIONS IN THE WORKS RIGHT NOW.
WE ARE APPLYING UNDER THE CFA FOR THE CLIMATE SMART COMMUNITIES COMPLETE STREETS GRANT, GRANT FOR RAVENSDALE ROAD.
THIS IS SOMETHING THAT WE HAD ACTUALLY DISCUSSED SOME TIME AGO, AND AT THAT TIME WE DIDN'T HAVE THE, THE, THE METRICS THAT WE NEEDED TO BE ABLE TO MAKE THE APPLICATION.
BUT WE HAVE, UM, UH, HAVE OUR, OUR, OUR, OUR, UH, EXCUSE ME, TRAFFIC ENGINEERS WORKING ON THOSE METRICS RIGHT NOW.
UH, THE PROPOSAL IS FOR A PEDESTRIAN SIDEWALK ALONG NINE A FROM HEATH ROAD TO THE RAVENSDALE BRIDGE.
AND THEN, UH, ALL ALONG RAVENSDALE ROAD FROM THE BRIDGE UP TO FARRAGUT AVENUE, WE'LL BE LOOKING FOR PUTTING IN, UH, BOTH PEDESTRIAN AND BIKE, UM, UH, YOU KNOW, BIKING OPPORTUNITIES.
UH, THE, THE, THE GRANT IS A 50% MATCH, BUT LUCKILY THE COUNTY HAS JUST OFFERED A COUNTY COMPLETE STREETS GRANT ALSO, UM, WHICH ALSO HAS A 50% MATCH IN IT.
AND THAT GRANT IS DUE IN SEPTEMBER.
THIS, THIS ONE IS DUE AT THE END OF JULY.
AND WE'LL BE LOOKING TO, UH, TRY TO USE BOTH THOSE OPPORTUNITIES TO, TO FUND THIS.
UM, I WOULD WELCOME ANY INPUT FROM THE BOARD TONIGHT OR AT ANY OTHER TIME, YOU KNOW, ANY TIME OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF WEEKS AS WE ARE JUST, YOU KNOW, IN THE FORMATIVE STAGES OF, OF CRAFTING THE GRANT.
SO IF YOU HAVE ANY THOUGHTS, UM, THAT YOU WANTED TO SHARE EITHER NOW OR, OR AT SOME LATER TIME, UH, THAT WOULD BE VERY WELCOME.
UH, WE ALSO, UM, ARE APPLYING UNDER THE CFA FOR THE NEW YORK STATE OFFICE OF PARKS AND RECREATION AND HISTORIC PRESERVATION GRANT.
AGAIN, THAT GRANT IS A 50% MATCH AND IT WOULD BE FOR THE SKATE PARK AT THE BURKE ESTATE.
OUR ATTORNEY IS WORKING ON, UH, SOME DOCUMENTATION WITH THE SCHOOL IN ORDER TO HAVE THE, THE, UM, OWNERSHIP INTEREST THAT WE NEED TO MAKE THE GRANT APPLICATION.
AND WE ARE WORKING CLOSELY WITH, CAN EVERYBODY HEAR ME? I'LL, I'LL STOP ONE MORE.
WHERE DID I LEAVE OFF? SO, I, THE, THE, THE, UM, THE, OUR ATTORNEY IS WORKING CLOSELY WITH THE SCHOOL TO GET THE, UH, REC THE WHAT WE NEED IN TERMS OF OWNERSHIP INTEREST IN THE PROPERTY.
AND, UH, THE, OUR GRANT WRITER AND MYSELF ARE WORKING CLOSELY WITH, UH, RIVERTOWN SKATE TO, UM, DEVELOP THE, THE ACTUAL, UH, GRANT APPLICATION.
UH, THIS GRANT IS ALSO A 50% MATCH.
THE VILLAGE HAS COMMITTED FUNDS TOWARDS THE PROJECT, AND RIVERTOWN SKI HAS RAISED FUNDING TOWARDS THE PROJECT.
AND WE'LL LOOK IF THERE'S ANY IN KIND, UM, UH, CONTRIBUTIONS THAT WE CAN USE TOWARDS A MATCH AS WELL.
UH, SO THAT'S PRETTY MUCH WHAT I WANTED TO
[00:25:01]
SHARE WITH YOU.OH, WELL, YOU ALREADY ANNOUNCED TO EVERYBODY THE, THE, UH, FIELD GRANTS, SO WE'RE VERY HAPPY ABOUT THAT AS WELL.
UM, THE NEXT THING THAT I WANTED TO TALK ABOUT IS THE PEDDLING VENDING AND SOLICITING LAW.
AND, UM, AS MR. SKOLNIK, UH, INTRODUCED EARLIER, UH, THAT'S AN OPPORTUNITY.
THIS, WHAT I'M SUGGESTING IS THAT WE DO REVISE THAT, THAT LAW AS IT EXISTS.
UH, MY SUGGESTION WAS, UM, NOT, NOT SO MUCH TO THE NOISE ASPECTS OF IT, ALTHOUGH THOSE CAN CERTAINLY BE CONSIDERED BY THE BOARD AS WELL, BUT THAT WE ADD, UH, CERTAIN ROADS THAT ARE PROHIBITED TO HAVE, UH, THE PEDALING ON, UM, BECAUSE THEY COMPETE WITH OUR BRICK AND MORTAR, UH, BUSINESSES.
AND IT'S, IT'S, YOU KNOW, IT'S KIND OF UNFAIR FOR OUR BRICK AND MORTAR BUSINESSES TO BE, TO BE, UM, HAVING TO COMPETE WITH, WITH, WITH, WITH A, WITH A A, A TRUCK THAT'S SELLING THE SAME KIND OF WARES.
UM, I, THERE'S THIS TYPE OF RESTRICTION EXISTS IN SOME OF OUR NAME NEIGHBORING COMMUNITIES, UH, BOTH, UM, ELMSFORD AND, UM, UH, TARRYTOWN HABIT.
AND WHAT I WOULD SUGGEST IS THAT WE, UH, INSTITUTE NO PEDALING ON SPRING STREET, WARBURTON BETWEEN BROADWAY AND MAINE MAIN STREET AND SOUTH SIDE BETWEEN, UH, MAPLE AND THE COMMUTER LOT.
AND, UM, SO IF THE BOARD WOULD, UH, BE INTERESTED IN MOVING AHEAD WITH THAT KIND OF A CHANGE TO THE CODE, UM, I WOULD WORK WITH OUR, UH, VILLAGE ATTORNEY IN ORDER TO, UM, MAKE THOSE CHANGES FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION.
AND ANYTHING AROUND ANY OF THE STREETS AROUND THE SCHOOL, UH, THE STREETS AROUND THE SCHOOL ARE ALREADY GOVERNED BY THE, UM, THERE'S CERTAIN TIME RESTRICTIONS AS TO WHEN I CAN READ IT.
IT'S D UM, WHERE IS THE SCHOOL? IT'S PROHIBITED TO SELL ANY CONFECTIONARY ICE CREAM OR OTHER EDIBLES WITHIN 250 FEET OF ANY SCHOOL, BETWEEN THE HOURS OF 8:00 AM AND 4:00 PM ON SCHOOL DAYS.
AND THEN ALSO TO MR. SKOLNIK COMMENT ABOUT NOISE, IT IS PROHIBITED TO BLOW A HORN, RING A BELL, OR USE ANY OTHER NOISY DEVICE TO ATTRACT PUBLIC ATTENTION TO HIS WARES OR SHOUT OR CRY OUT FOR HIS WARES.
SO YEAH, THERE'S A NUMBER OF, OF PROHIBITIONS ALREADY IN, UM, THE LAW.
THEY ALSO CAN'T STAY IN ONE PLACE FOR MORE THAN 10 MINUTES.
IS THAT A CHANGE OR IS THAT ONE ALREADY THAT'S ALREADY IN THERE.
SO, UM, IF YOU WOULD LIKE, WE CAN BRING BACK A DRAFT LOCAL LAW FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION AT THE NEXT MEETING.
DOES ANYBODY? YEAH, ABSOLUTELY.
SO WHAT, SO WE WOULD JUST, THE ONLY CHANGE THEN WOULD BE FOR THE, TO ADD THE THREE STREETS AND THOSE WOULD BE PROHIBITED AT ALL TIMES.
UH, THEY WOULD BE PRO PROHIBITED AT ALL TIMES.
SO NONE, NONE OF THE OTHER, OF ANY OTHER PARTS OF THE LAW OR, UM, AND THAT'S UP TO THE BOARD IF, IF THE BOARD WOULD LIKE US TO LOOK AT WHETHER OR NOT THERE CAN BE, UM, CH THERE CAN BE CHANGES.
SO, UH, IT'S REALLY, YOU KNOW, AT YOUR DISCRETION IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO, UH, SEE SOME ADDITIONAL LANGUAGE ABOUT NOISE AND YOU LET US KNOW, YOU KNOW, WHAT YOU WANT THAT TO KIND OF LOOK LIKE, WE CAN CERTAINLY DO THAT AS WELL.
DO YOU MIND JUST READING THE STREETS AGAIN? SURE.
UM, IT'S SPRING STREET WAR BURTON, BETWEEN BROADWAY AND MAIN, MAIN STREET AND SOUTH SIDE BETWEEN MAPLE AND THE COMMUTER LOT.
SHOULD WE CONSIDER ADDING FARGATE TO WHERE THOSE TWO BUSINESSES ARE ALONG FARGATE AND I'M SURE THEY SELL ICE CREAM THERE AS WELL.
THERE'S A DELI AND THEN A STATIONARY STORE BY THE GAS STATION ON FARGATE AS YOU'RE HEADING TO THE PARKWAY.
I'LL FIND OUT THAT IT'S NEAR GREEN STREET, RIGHT? MM-HMM
SO THAT WOULDN'T INCLUDE, UM, WE DON'T, DO WE NEED TO INCLUDE PAST, UH, MAIN STREET TOWARD THE, UH, DINO? WE CAN, WE CAN DO THAT.
I THOUGHT I HAD THAT TO WASHINGTON.
DID I SAY THAT WRONG WAR? THERE'S ALSO, OH, I SAID TO ME THERE'S, BUT I ACTUALLY, I THINK IT SHOULD BE AT LEAST TO WASHINGTON AND MAYBE BE ON, I THINK THAT MAYBE THAT MIGHT BE, IS THAT, IS THAT
[00:30:01]
ADEQUATE? I MEAN, I GUESS THE QUESTION IS BEING RAISED BY THE PUBLIC, MR. SKOLNIK TO BE PRECISE IS, I MEAN, IT'S BEEN RAISED BEFORE THAT THIS MR. SOFTY IS RINGING THEIR BELL AROUND THE SCHOOL AND NOTHING IS BEING DONE ABOUT IT.SO IS THERE A DESIRE FOR NOTHING TO BE DONE ABOUT IT? OR IS IT AN ADMINISTRATIVE OVERSIGHT THAT, THAT WILL BE CORRECTED? BECAUSE IF THERE'S A DESIRE FOR NOTHING TO BE DONE ABOUT IT, THEN MAYBE WE SHOULD REVISIT THAT PART OF OUR CODE WHERE IT'S EXPLICITLY PROHIBITED ALREADY.
UM, I WAS NOT AWARE THAT, THAT THERE WAS BELL RINGING.
I KNOW THERE'S LIKE A LITTLE SING-SONGY KIND OF A THING THAT GOES ALONG.
HE HAS BROUGHT IT UP A NUMBER OF TIMES BEFORE THIS, THE BELL.
I I'M, WELL THEY'RE NOT SUPPOSED TO BE AT THE SCHOOL DURING SCHOOL HOURS.
ANYWAY, AND, AND IT'S, IT'S NOT EXACTLY THAT HAS BEEN ENFORCED.
THE MR. SOFTY THEME SONG THAT GETS ETCHED,
IT ALSO COMES WITH A GENERATOR TOO.
THAT'S PROBABLY LOUDER THAN THE SONG I WOULD IMAGINE.
UM, WE CAN, WE CAN IT'S ENFORCEMENT, YOU KNOW, ENFORCEMENT.
I MEAN WE CAN, I CAN CERTAINLY TALK TO PD ABOUT THAT IF THEY STOP THEM FROM MAKING ANY, ANY, ANY, UH, YOU KNOW, ANY SOUND OTHER THAN THE SOUND THAT COMES FROM THE VEHICLE ITSELF.
I FEEL LIKE I DID SEE SOMEWHERE THAT THEY CITED THEM AT SOME POINT IN THE LAST MONTH.
THEY HAVE CITED THEM DEFINITELY FOR BEING AT THE SCHOOL INAPPROPRIATELY, I THINK ON MORE THAN ONE OCCASION.
AND, AND THEN AT THE 10 MINUTE LIMIT IS ABOUT THE PLAYING OF THE SONG OR IS IT ABOUT THAT'S ABOUT PARKING.
THEY CAN'T STAND IN ANY ONE PLACE FOR MORE THAN 10 MINUTES.
THEY CAN'T STAND STAY IN ANY ONE PLACE FOR MORE THAN 10 MINUTES.
AND CAN, IS THERE A, WHEN THEY MOVE AFTER 10 MINUTES, IS THERE A DISTANCE THEY HAVE TO MOVE? I MEAN, IS IT, YOU KNOW, I DON'T, THAT'S A VERY GOOD POINT.
I DON'T THINK THAT THERE IS ONE.
LIKE COULD THEY JUST MOVE LIKE A FOOT OR TARRYTOWN DOES HAVE, LEMME JUST LOOK.
THEY HAVE A ACTUAL TARRYTOWN HAS THAT BUILT IN.
THEY HAVE, THEY HAVE WHAT, 200 FEET OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT? THEY HAVE TO MOVE BEYOND A CERTAIN, I DON'T THINK THAT'S, THAT'S NOT CURRENTLY IN OUR YEAH, WE CAN ADD THAT.
SO WHAT ARE YOU, WHAT ABOUT THE SOUND? IT'S ALREADY IN HERE.
YEAH, BUT I MEAN IT'S, IT SAYS ARE USE LOW HORN, RING A BELL OR USE ANY OTHER NOISY DEVICE.
WELL WHAT'S NOISY? I MEAN, SPECIFIC ABOUT NOISY IS A VERY RELATIVE TERM.
AMPLIFIED MUSIC OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT.
IS THAT, UH, WE COULD SAY THAT.
SO YOU WANNA COMPLETELY PROHIBIT YOU PLAY IT ONCE
I'M NOT EVEN, I'M LAUGHING, BUT IT'S, I'M SERIOUS.
IT'S JUST YOU GET THE PICTURE ONCE YOU'VE HEARD IT ONCE.
WE'LL CIRCULATE IT AND UM, YOU GUYS CAN KIND OF LOOK AT IT AND SEE IF THERE'S SOMETHING ELSE THAT YOU THINK MIGHT BE HELPFUL.
DOUGLAS, YOU CAN GO PRESENT IT TO THE CHILDREN.
I, I'M TAKING YOUR ICE CREAM AWAY.
UM, I HAVE ONE MORE SUGGESTION ON STREETS, I'M SORRY, MKOPO ROAD, BECAUSE THE POOL DOES HAVE A SPECIFIC CONTRACT WITH THE FOOD VENDOR.
I THOUGHT THAT WAS ALREADY, IT'S NOT, BUT WE, WE HAVE, WE HAVE ENFORCED IT.
BUT YOU'VE USED THE 10 MINUTE RULE.
HAVEN'T, IS THAT HOW YOU'VE ENFORCED IT? NO, WE JUST DON'T.
THEN I THOUGHT IT WAS INCLUDED ALREADY.
SO I THINK WE SHOULD DEFINITELY INCLUDE THAT IF IT'S NOT INCLUDED THOUGHT I THOUGHT THAT THE ROAD WAS A PRIVATE ROAD.
I MEAN, IT IS PRIVATE ROAD 'CAUSE IT'S A VILLAGE ROAD AND THAT'S WHAT WE TELL THEM.
BUT IT'D BE EASIER TO POINT, IT'S A VILLAGE ROAD.
IT'S A VILLAGE ROAD, BUT YOU KNOW, IT'S NOT A PUBLIC STREET.
IN THAT SENTENCE WE'LL ADD CHICA POOL ROAD.
ANYTHING ELSE THAT ANYBODY ELSE WANTS TO ADD? OKAY.
UM, MR. NIK, MAY I APPROACH THE MIC FOR A MOMENT? YES, PLEASE.
UM, YEAH, I WAS NOT EXPECTING YOU TO ACTUALLY ADDRESS, HAD NO REASON TO THINK THAT THIS WAS ACTUALLY GONNA COME UP AS AN AGENDA ITEM.
YEAH, BUT I DIDN'T TELL YOU WHAT I WANTED.
UM, IS THERE AN OPPORTUNITY FOR ME TO ACTUALLY, IT HAS TO BE A SURPRISE AT CHRISTMAS
UM, WOULD THERE BE AN OPPORTUNITY BEFORE YOU ACTUALLY, UH, WORK THROUGH THIS FOR ME TO ADDRESS SOME OF THE ISSUES THAT BROUGHT ME TO RAISE THIS? UH, I MEAN IN WHATEVER? SURE.
DO YOU WANNA JUST CALL ME UP? I THINK YOU MEAN YOU COULD SEND A LETTER THEN WE ALL GET IT AND WE WILL PROMISE TO READ IT AND OKAY.
ALRIGHT, BECAUSE I, I FEEL LIKE WITH A, IT WOULD BE
[00:35:01]
HELPFUL IF YOU UNDERSTOOD JUST WHAT BROUGHT ME TO THIS, AND IT'S NOT EXACTLY WHAT YOU'RE WORKING ON RIGHT NOW, BUT I'LL WRITE THAT.UM, SO THE NEXT ISSUE IS AN ART INSTALLATION IN DRAPER PARK.
AND, UM, WE'VE HAD A, UH, LETTER AS ALL OF THAT ALL OF YOU RECEIVED FROM THE VILLAGE ARTS COUNCIL ABOUT, UH, THE TEMPORARY INS, EXCUSE ME, INSTALLATION OF S STRITES, WHICH IS A SCULPTURE BY MALCOLM MCDOUGALL, UM, UH, TO BE THAT THEY WOULD LIKE TO INSTALL IN DRAPER PARK, UH, THE SCULPTURE, YOU, I THINK YOU HAVE PICTURES OF IT TO KIND OF SEE WHAT IT IS.
AND, AND I BELIEVE IT'S CURRENTLY ACTUALLY, UH, INSTALLED OUTSIDE THE ARTIST'S STUDIO, ALONG THE RIVER'S EDGE SOMEWHERE IN DOBBS FERRY.
AND I CAN GET YOU THE EXACT ADDRESS IF YOU'D LIKE TO BE ABLE TO GO AND, AND, AND SEE WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE.
UM, UH, IT'S KIND OF A, IT'S, IT'S BEEN DESCRIBED AS A, UH, AN, UH, SOMETHING THAT INVITES MEANINGFUL INTERACT INTERACTION PHYSICALLY, VISUALLY, AND CONCEPTUALLY, UH, THAT THE ARTIST CAN CO COVERS ALL OF THE INSTALLATION AND DET INSTALLATION COSTS.
THEY'RE PROPOSING A 12 MONTH, UM, TIME FOR THE, FOR THE, UH, INSTALLATION TO, UH, OCCUR AND TO PROCEED.
AND IT'S IN THE PROPOSED TO BE INSTALLED IN THE NOR, UM, NORTHWEST CORNER OF DRAPER PARK.
IT LOOKS A LITTLE BIT LIKE SNOWY MOUNTAINS TO ME,
UM, BUT I'M SURE EVERYBODY HAS THEIR OWN INTERPRETATION OF IT.
AND, UH, UM, I THOUGHT THAT IT WAS KIND OF A VERY INTERESTING IDEA AND SOMETHING THAT YOU MIGHT WANT TO CONSIDER.
THE ONLY QUESTION I HAD WAS IT, DOES IT ACTUALLY LIGHT UP OR IS IT NO, NO.
IT'S MADE OF, UM, WELL, THE, WE HAVE THE ARTIST HERE, SO HE COULD PROBABLY SPEAK TO IT A LOT BETTER THAN I CAN.
HI, I, UH, NICE TO MEET YOU ALL.
I'M MALCOLM MCDOUGALL AND I, UM, THE ARTIST WHO MADE THE PROPOSAL ALONG.
I'M SORRY TO INTERRUPT YOU, BUT, UH, YOU, I I AM TOLD YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO STATE YOUR ADDRESS AS WELL AS YOUR NAME.
UM, MY ADDRESS IS, UH, 75 WASHINGTON AVENUE HERE IN HASTINGS.
UM, AND, UM, NANCY AND I ARE BOTH ALSO ON THE ARTS, UH, ARTS COMMITTEE HERE IN HASTINGS.
AND, UM, WE HAD A THOUGHT ABOUT PROPOSING INSTALLING THIS SCULPTURE IN DRAPER PARK TO KIND OF ENGAGE SCULPTURE AS A KIND OF RELATIONAL OBJECT IN OUR COMMUNITY WITH THE HOPES THAT IN SOME FASHION IT ALLOWS, UH, THE, THE PUBLIC TO HAVE AN INTERFACE OR A SPACE TO INTERACT WITH AN OBJECT.
AND THEN THROUGH THAT OBJECT, OUR LANDSCAPE OR RIVER ROCKS, CRACKS ON THE SIDEWALKS.
I THINK SCULPTURE, UM, HAS A CAPACITY TO, TO DO THAT OR TO BRING NEW THOUGHTS TO, TO PEOPLE, ESPECIALLY OBJECTS THAT DON'T HAVE LIKE AN EXACTNESS TO THEM WHERE THEY'RE KIND OF IN BETWEEN ONE THING AND ANOTHER.
UM, AND THE ONE OF OUR THOUGHTS IS THAT THIS TYPE OF LOAN MIGHT HELP ENCOURAGE, UM, SIMILAR THINGS IN THE FUTURE.
AND IT'S, IT'S QUITE DIFFERENT ALSO WHEN YOU INSTALL SCULPTURE IN A PUBLIC SPACE THAT'S SORT OF, DOESN'T HAVE THE SAME KIND OF SHELTERING AS LIKE AN ART MUSEUM OR A GALLERY BECAUSE IT'S SORT OF ON ITS OWN AND IT'S OUT THERE.
AND IT ALSO, PEOPLE APPROACH IT DIFFERENTLY, LIKE KIDS SEE SOMETHING WITHOUT THAT CONTEXT.
SO I THINK IT'S POSSIBLE TO SORT OF BRIDGE DIFFERENT EXPERIENCES THAT WAY.
UM, JUST I GUESS FOR BACKGROUND, ONE OF THE WAYS THAT NA, NANCY AND I CAME UP WITH THINKING ABOUT THE, UH, I GUESS IT'S THE SOUTH SOUTHEAST CORNER OF DRAPER PARK, OR ORIGINALLY WE WERE WORKING WITH THE, UM, QUARRY PARK COMMITTEE BECAUSE THERE WAS A SORT OF THE DOLOMITE LIMESTONE IN QUARRY PARK KIND OF IN A WAY REFLECTS THE, SOME OF THE CHARACTERISTIC OF THE SCULPTURE AND BACK AND FORTH.
AND WE THOUGHT IT WOULD BE A GREAT WAY TO ENGAGE THE PUBLIC THROUGH AN ART EXPERIENCE, TO THEN ALSO EXPERIENCE THE HISTORY OF QUARRY PARK AND IN A KIND OF LIVELY WAY.
UM, AND THEN AS WE WERE LOOKING AT DIFFERENT SITES IN QUARRY PARK, WE HAD STUMBLED UP TO DRAPER PARK AND NOTICED THAT THE SOUTH, UH, EAST CORNER IS RATHER QUIET, LIKE MOST OF THE DOG WALKERS AND VISITORS TO THAT PARK KIND OF STAY IN THE CENTER STRIP OR
[00:40:01]
ON THE NORTHERN SIDE.BUT THERE'S A SORT OF BEAUTIFUL POCKET ON THE SOUTHWEST CORNER THAT HAS A REALLY NICE RELATIONSHIP WITH THE SKY AND THE SCULPTURE RIGHT NOW IT'S, UM, INSTALLED IN DS FERRY ON THE WATER, AND IT, WHEN THE SUN SETS THEY TURN PURPLE AND LIKE REFLECT THE CLOUDS AND THINGS.
SO IT KIND OF GOT ME EXCITED THINKING ABOUT THIS POSSIBILITY WITH DRAPER PARK AND IT'S HIS ITS OWN HISTORY AND THE SPACE BETWEEN SKY AND AND EARTH.
SO THAT'S, UM, WHAT BROUGHT US TO, TO, TO THINKING ABOUT, UM, PRESENTING YOU ALL WITH WITH THAT THIS PROPOSAL TO THANK YOU FOR, FOR TAKING A LOOK AT IT.
IS THERE ANYTHING THAT I COULD HELP CLARIFY WHILE SINCE WE'RE HERE? MAYBE IF YOU COULD JUST TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT HOW IT'S CONSTRUCTED? OH, SURE.
SO IT'S, UM, IT'S ALL CONSTRUCTED OUT OF STAINLESS STEEL PANELS THAT ARE WELDED TOGETHER IN A KIND OF QUILT LIKE, OR STAINED GLASS SORT OF MANNER.
SO THERE'S LIKE, IT HAS LIKE A RHYTHMIC SURFACE THAT'S MADE OUT OF PANELS THAT ARE ABOUT THIS, THIS LARGE.
SO IT'S A SORT OF LARGE OUT IN, IN A SENSE, IT'S A, IT INTERACTS WITH LANDSCAPE IN THE, IN THE WAY THAT OUR BODIES INTERACT WITH LANDSCAPE.
LIKE WHEN YOU WALK SOMEWHERE, YOU'LL RELY ON YOUR MEMORY TO FIGURE OUT WHERE THINGS WORK.
'CAUSE YOU CAN'T STAND IN ALL THE PLACES AT ONCE.
AND THE SCULPTURE'S BIG ENOUGH WHERE THAT KIND OF THING HAPPENS.
WHEN YOU WALK TO ONE SIDE OF IT, YOU HAVE TO KIND OF REMEMBER HOW THE REST WAS ARRANGED AND FROM FURTHER AWAY, I THINK IN THE PHOTOGRAPH FROM THE PROPOSAL, IT LOOKS LIKE ONE KIND OF STRING OF STAINLESS STEEL THAT'S VERY LONG.
AND THEN AS YOU GET CLOSER TO IT, THERE'S LIKE SIX FEET OR SO IN BETWEEN EACH ELEMENT.
SO YOU CAN WALK THROUGH IT AND IT SORT OF BREAKS APART.
AND THEN EACH OF THE SORT OF MOUNTAINS OR ICEBERGS OF THE, THE SCULPTURE RESTS ON THE GROUND.
SO IT'S, THEY'RE, THEY'RE WAY, THEY'RE FREESTANDING AND THERE'S NO SPACE UNDERNEATH THEM.
SO ONE OF THE NICE THINGS ABOUT THAT CORNER OF DRAPER PARK IS IT'S FAIRLY FLAT.
SO THE FLAT EDGE OF THE SCULPTURE CAN BE IN TOUCH WITH THE GROUND IN SUCH A WAY THAT IT WOULD PRESENT AS THOUGH IT WENT IN YOUR MIND'S EYE KIND OF BACK UNDERGROUND AND THEN UP AGAIN.
SO, AND IT HAS A, LIKE A BRUSHED FINISH THAT DOESN'T HAVE A REAL DIRECTION TO IT.
SO IT'S SORT OF SOFT AND IS LIKE A LITTLE BIT RESPONSIVE TO THE, TO THE LIGHT.
AND, UH, AND IT'S FAIRLY SMOOTH.
LIKE THE SURFACE DOESN'T HAVE ANY LIKE, SHARP SPOTS OR ANYTHING BECAUSE I THINK KIDS, YOU KNOW, SCULPTURE, WHEN YOU PUT IT OUTSIDE IT BECOMES LIKE A PARK BENCH.
IT'S LIKE, LIKE ANY OTHER OBJECTS, IT'S A REALLY GOOD TEST TO SEE WHO THE SCULPTURE HAS ANY ABILITY TO DO WHAT SCULPTURE SHOULD DO, WHICH IS TO ENGAGE YOUR, YOUR MIND IN THINKING ABOUT THE WORLD DIFFERENTLY.
UM, BUT I THINK SCULPTURE OUTSIDE ALSO, YOU HAVE A KIND OF RESPONSIBILITY TO MAKE SURE THAT IT'S, IT'S SAFE FOR LIKE LITTLE, LITTLE KIDS THAT MIGHT, YOU KNOW, WALK OVER TO IT.
ARE YOU CONCERNED ABOUT KIDS CLIMBING ON IT? UM, THERE'S ONE AT THE HIGH SCHOOL THAT'S BEEN CLIMBED ON FOR 50 PLUS YEARS.
SO THE SCULPTURE'S FAIRLY BULLETPROOF AS AN OBJECT.
YOU KNOW, IT'S MADE, THE STAINLESS STEEL IS ABOUT LIKE AN EIGHTH INCH THICK.
SO LIKE, IF YOU THINK OF LIKE A CAR, LIKE THE, A CAR HOOD IS LIKE, I THINK ONE SIXTH OF THAT THICKNESS.
SO IT'S, AND IT'S ALL LIKE THIS SORT OF TESSELLATED SHAPE.
SO IT'S, UM, IT'S THE, THE SCULPTURE IS STRONG AND I THINK IN TERMS OF, UM, KIDS CLIMBING ON IT ALL, MOST OF THE EL THERE, TWO OF THEM, WHICH ARE HAVE TALLER SPOT, BUT MOST OF IT IS VERY LOW TO THE GROUND.
UM, IT'S ABOUT TO GO OFF AGAIN.
OH YEAH, THAT'S ALSO A GOOD POINT.
'CAUSE THIS MIGHT NOT BE AS CLEAR IN THE PHOTOGRAPH, BUT THERE ARE ALL, UM, ALL THE ELEMENTS ARE, ARE OVER 800 POUNDS.
SO LIKE, IT'S NOT POSSIBLE EASILY FOR SOMEONE TO PICK IT UP AND DROP IT ON YOUR TAIL.
THERE'S, IT'S A, IT'S A GOOD THING IN PUBLIC SPACE.
LIKE, THERE'S ONE, THE SMALLEST ELEMENT I THINK IS LIKE FOUR FEET BY FOUR FEET AND IT HAS COUNTERWEIGHTS IN IT.
SO, UM, IT WAS ORIGINALLY GONNA GO TO PART OF PROSPECT PARK, LIKE RIGHT IN 2020 DURING THE PANDEMIC.
AND SO, LIKE PART OF THE, ONE OF THEIR REQUIREMENTS WAS TO MAKE SURE THAT THERE WAS ENOUGH COUNTERWEIGHT IN THE SMALLEST ELEMENT THAT NO ONE COULD GET HURT TRYING TO LIFT IT UP OR, YOU KNOW, WALKING OFF.
DOES IT, DOES IT GET HOT IN YOUR EXPERIENCE OVER THAT WAS ACTUALLY, THAT WAS ONE OF THE QUESTIONS THAT THE NEW YORK CITY PUBLIC ARTS GROUP HAD, AND WE USED LIKE A, AN INFRARED TEMPERATURE GUN TO CHECK AND IT, IT DIDN'T GET, YOU
[00:45:01]
KNOW, I THINK A, LIKE A CAR, LIKE A REGULAR CAR HOOD CAN GET TO LIKE I, IN THE SUN.I REMEMBER CHECKING LIKE DIFFERENT SURFACES, LIKE, I THINK LIKE 120 DEGREES.
AND I THINK THAT WAS KIND OF THE MAXIMUM THAT THAT MATERIAL WOULD GET TO 'CAUSE IT'S, YOU KNOW, FAIRLY THICK.
SO LIKE A, I THINK OTHER OBJECTS I CHECKED IT AGAINST WAS LIKE A PLASTIC SLIDE AND A PLAYGROUND PARK WAS SIMILAR TEMPERATURE, UM, YOU KNOW, ON A WARM DAY.
WELL, THANK YOU FOR THE, FOR THE OFFER.
MARY BETH, I THINK YOU'RE STILL ON.
I RESPOND TO MARY THAT PRETTY EASILY.
UM, SO, UH, THE NEXT ITEM ON THE AGENDA IS THE PROPOSED FORESTRY MAINTENANCE AT QUARRY PARK.
AND THIS IS A, UM, IT'S A PROPOSAL FROM, UH, PETER STROM, WHO IS AN ARBORIST TO HELP US WITH, UH, WORK THAT WE'RE DOING ON THE KNOLL THERE.
UH, THAT WORK IS FUNDED THROUGH A GRANT THAT WE GOT FROM THE USDA, WHICH THE PASS THROUGH WAS TO AMERICAN FORESTS AND WE'RE A SUB-RECIPIENT THROUGH AMERICAN FORESTS.
THIS IS THE GRANT THAT YOU MAY REMEMBER, UM, BACK IN JANUARY WE THOUGHT WE WERE GONNA LOSE IT, BUT THEN WE GOT IT BACK AND SO FAR THEY HAVEN'T TAKEN IT AWAY AGAIN
SO, UM, THIS IS JUST KIND OF THE, OUR, OUR FIRST FORAY INTO LOOKING AT THIS PARTICULAR AREA IN QUARRY PARK TO RESTORE THAT WOODED KNOLL TO, UH, YOU KNOW, A MUCH, UM, A MUCH HEALTHIER, UH, CONDITION.
AND, UM, UH, SO I'D LIKE TO, UH, YOU KNOW, JUST, UH, IF, IF YOU'RE IN AGREEMENT WITH IT, UM, I THINK THAT WE DID PROVIDE A DRAFT RESOLUTION TO TRUSTEE ALLGOOD AND, UH, WE COULD, IF THE BOARD IS, IS IN AGREEMENT, WE COULD MOVE FORWARD WITH IT.
OR IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT IT, I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER THOSE AS WELL.
SO, UH, WOULD EVERYBODY WANT ME TO READ THE DRAFT RESOLUTION OR, UH, DO WE WANT TO HEAR MORE FROM THE VILLAGE MANAGER BEFORE WE DISCUSS THAT? OR, OR JUST PUSH IT TILL NEXT WEEK AS A RESOLUTION? IS THERE ANY COMMENT YET? OR SHOULD I JUST READ IT? EVERYTHING, READ IT, READ IT.
SO RIGHT NOW IT IS NOT A RESOLUTION.
IT IS, UH, IT WOULD BE, IF IT'S A RESOLUTION, IT WOULD BE 76 OF 25 AUTHORIZATION TO EXECUTE AGREEMENT FOR FORESTRY MANAGEMENT SERVICES AT QUARRY PARK, BE IT RESOLVED THAT THE MAYOR AND THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES AUTHORIZE THE VILLAGE MANAGER TO EXECUTE AN AGREEMENT WITH STRONG HART HORT, LLC FOR FORESTRY MANAGEMENT SERVICES IN QUARRY PARK IN THE AMOUNT OF $14,375 AND 5 CENTS IS ATTACHED.
SO I GUESS WHAT, WE'LL, WHAT THE ASK IS IS DO WE WANT TO, UM, UH, VOTE ON THIS TONIGHT AS A RESOLUTION? OR IS THERE ANY NEED FOR OR DESIRE FOR FURTHER DISCUSSION OR INFORMATION? I, I MOVE THAT WE VOTE ON IT TONIGHT, EVERYBODY ELSE.
YEAH, SO I'VE ALREADY READ IT, SO THAT WOULD BE 76 OF 25.
UH, IS THERE A MOTION? SO MOVED.
UM, THE NEXT ITEM ON THE AGENDA IS A PROPOSED TREE INVENTORY AND FOREST MANAGEMENT PLAN.
AND, UH, AGAIN TO ADDRESS, UM, MR. NIKS NIKS, UH, QUESTIONS.
THIS IS FOR, UH, STREET TREES AND CERTAIN PARKS, WHICH WE HAVEN'T ALREADY DONE.
WE'VE ALREADY DONE HILLSIDE, WOODS, UH, PULVER WOODS, UNION TOWN RALLIES, BRIDGE TRAIL.
AND THIS COVERS, UM, OTHER, THE OTHER PARKS THAT, THAT ARE NOT INCLUDED IN THOSE THAT I'VE SAID BEFORE.
AND ALSO STREET TREES THROUGHOUT THE VILLAGE.
THIS, UH, AGAIN, IS A, IS A GRANT.
UH, WE'VE DONE THIS TYPE OF INVENTORY AND COMMUNITY MANAGEMENT PLAN.
UM, IT'S, IT'S HELPFUL BECAUSE IT IDENTIFIES HAZARD TREES AND, UH, THINGS OF THAT NATURE WHICH, UM, HELP US KEEP OUR, OUR WOODS SAFE.
SO THIS IS BASICALLY AN RFP TO GO OUT TO FIND A CONTRACTOR TO, UH, PREPARE THE INVENTORY AND MANAGEMENT PLAN.
AND IF THE BOARD IS, UH, SATISFIED WITH THE DOCUMENT, UH, AGAIN, THERE'S A RESOLUTION THAT, UM, UH, TRUSTEE ALLGOOD HAS THAT WE COULD ADOPT.
OR, OR IF YOU'D, YOU KNOW, IF YOU'RE NOT READY TO DO THAT AND YOU NEED MORE INFORMATION, UH, LET ME KNOW WHAT IT IS AND I'LL
[00:50:01]
TRY AND PROVIDE IT.CAN YOU JUST STATE AGAIN THE, THE AMOUNT? UH, IT'S 21,000 AND THE GRANT IS FOR, I DON'T KNOW THE AMOUNT BECAUSE THE WE'LL GET PROPOSALS, BUT THE GRANT IS FOR 21,000 AND CHANGE.
I CAN'T REMEMBER THE EXACT GRANT AMOUNT.
IT'S 20, I WANNA SAY LIKE 21,850, SOMETHING LIKE THAT.
BUT THIS, THIS REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL, WE WOULD GET PROPOSALS FROM VARIOUS, UM, YOU KNOW, ARBORISTS AND THEY WOULD PROPOSE A FEE FOR, FOR THE WORK, THE SCOPE OF WORK THAT WE'VE REQUESTED.
AND IS THIS PRESUMED THAT THE GRANT WOULDN'T COVER THE ENTIRE, IS IT PRESUMED THAT THE GRANT WON'T COVER? NO, IT'S NOT PRE, WE, WE HAD A, WE, BEFORE WE APPLIED FOR THE GRANT, WE HAD A, WE OBTAINED A, UM, PROPO.
WE, WE OBTAINED INFORMATION FROM A, AN ARBORIST AS TO WHAT THE COST OF THIS KIND OF WORK WOULD BE.
SO WE EXPECT THAT THE GRANT WILL COVER THE COST OF THE WORK.
AND IT'S ALSO DRAFTED IN SUCH A WAY THAT WE CAN, UH, ADD OR DELETE CERTAIN PIECES OF IT IF WE HAVE TO IN ORDER TO MAKE THAT HAPPEN.
SO I WILL READ THE RESOLUTION AND IF IT IS A RE, IF IT IS A RESOLUTION, IT WOULD BE 77 OF 25 AUTHORIZATION TO SOLICIT PROPOSALS FOR STREET TREE AND PARK INVENTORY AND COMMUNITY FOREST MANAGEMENT PLAN.
RESOLVED THAT THE MAYOR AND BOARD OF TRUSTEES AUTHORIZE THE VILLAGE MANAGER TO SOLICIT PROPOSALS FOR THE INVENTORYING OF TREES AND PARKS AND ON STREETS FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE COM OF A COMMUNITY FOREST MANAGEMENT PLAN.
SO DO WE WANT TO, UH, UM, VOTE ON THIS AS RESOLUTION TONIGHT? YEAH, SURE.
SO IS THERE A MOTION? SO MOVED.
SECOND, SECOND, SECOND, SECOND.
UM, AND I DID HAVE A COUPLE OF OTHER UPDATES THAT I JUST WANTED TO SHARE WITH YOU TONIGHT.
THIS ONE YOU'RE REALLY GONNA BE HAPPY ABOUT.
UM, THE SIDEWALK, THE SIDEWALK AT THE TRAIN STATION THAT HAS BEEN BROKEN SINCE, UH, HURRICANE IDA, THE DAWN OF TIME,
UH, THEY ARE STARTING ON THE, ON THE WORK ON THE 26TH OF JUNE.
SO, YEAH, SO THAT'S, IT'S LIKE NEXT WEEK.
AND, UM, THERE WILL BE SOME DISRUPTIONS ON THE, UH, YOU KNOW, THE WEST, THE EAST SIDE OF THE PLATFORM, WHICH THANKFULLY IS, IS MORE AN EVENING, YOU KNOW, PEOPLE GETTING OFF THE TRAIN.
SO THEY'RE NOT IN QUITE AS BIG A HURRY AS THEY ARE IN THE MORNING WHEN THEY'RE GETTING ON THE TRAIN.
UH, BUT, UM, WE HAD A, UH, A LITTLE MEETING WITH THE CONTRACTOR, MYSELF AND THE BUILDING INSPECTOR AND THE, UH, DPW SUPERINTENDENT THIS WEEK, AND THEY SEEM VERY COOPERATIVE AND THEY'LL, YOU KNOW, WORK AROUND, UH, THINGS.
IT'S, BELIEVE IT OR NOT, IT'S GONNA TAKE ABOUT TWO AND A HALF MONTHS.
AND THAT IS BECAUSE, UM, THEY'RE ALSO PUTTING IN NEW BIKE RACKS UNDERNEATH THE SHELTER THAT THE MM-HMM
THE, THAT THE, UM, TRAIN STATION HAS FOR BIKES.
AND SO THOSE BIKE RACKS ARE ON ORDER, BUT THEY HAVEN'T COME IN YET.
AND SO, SO THEY MAY, THEY MAY DO THE SIDEWALK WORK AND THEN GO AWAY FOR A LITTLE WHILE AND COME BACK AND, AND DO THE, UH, THE, THE, UM, BICYCLE RACKS.
UM, BUT I'M VERY EXCITED ABOUT IT.
AND, UH, UM, I'LL SEND OUT A NOTE TO THE COMMUNITY AS WELL SO EVERYBODY IS AWARE OF IT.
AND, AND, UH, WE'LL BE BLOCKING OFF THOSE PARKING SPACES RIGHT IMMEDIATELY ON SOUTH SIDE AVENUE THERE FOR THEM TO USE AS A STAGING AREA.
UM, I ALSO, UH, SENT TO YOU, UH, EARLIER THIS WEEK A JUST, UH, THE REVOLUTIONARY WALK PLAQUE THAT THE, UM, UH, HISTORIC, THE, THE REVOLUTIONARY FOLKS OF THE HISTORICAL SOCIETY WILL BE INSTALLING AT, UH, WAGNER PARK.
'CAUSE I WANTED YOU TO BE AWARE OF IT.
IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS ON IT, YOU KNOW, JUST FEEL FREE TO SEND THEM ALONG TO ME.
AND, UM, THE, AS YOU KNOW, EXCUSE ME, CONED HAS ASKED FOR A HUGE RATE INCREASE, UH, BOTH GAS AND ELECTRIC.
AND THERE ARE GOING TO BE PUBLIC HEARINGS.
UH, THE TWO THAT ARE IN WESTCHESTER COUNTY.
ONE IS IN CORTLAND AT THE CORTLAND TOWN HALL, UH, WHICH IS ON HEADY STREET IN CORTLAND MANOR ON JULY 8TH.
THE OTHER ONE IS ON JULY 9TH AT THE COUNTY CENTER, WHICH IS AT 1 99, 1 98 CENTRAL AVENUE.
UH, THIS WILL ALSO GO OUT TO THE PUBLIC IN A, IN A, UM, NEWSLETTER IN A ANNOUNCEMENT.
BUT, UH, I THINK IT'D BE GREAT IF PEOPLE HAVE SOME TIME WHERE WE'RE TRYING TO GET SOME BULLET POINTS FROM OUR ATTORNEY THAT WE COLLECTIVELY RETAINED WITH THE,
[00:55:01]
WITH THE 40 OTHER MU 39 OTHER MUNICIPALITIES.AND HE HAS, UH, COMMITTED TO PROVIDING THAT TO US.
SO WE'LL PUT TOGETHER A LITTLE FLYER THAT WE'LL SEND OUT TO THE PUBLIC.
UM, I THINK IT'D BE REALLY GOOD FOR WESTCHESTER TO, UH, LET YOU KNOW, LET OUR VOICES BE HEARD ON THIS ISSUE.
UM, IT'S FROM ONE TO SIX ON JULY 9TH AT COUNTY CENTER AND ONE TO SIX ON JULY 8TH AT, UH, CORTLAND TOWN HALL.
SO THOSE WERE THE THREE THINGS THAT I WANTED TO REALLY HIGHLIGHT FOR YOU.
IF THERE'S ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FOR ME, I'M HAPPY TO TAKE THEM.
WHAT ARE THE NEXT STEPS FOR US VIS-A-VIS MR. MCDOUGALL'S KIND OFFER? UM, WELL IF THE BOARD WOULD LIKE ME TO PROCEED WITH IT, THEN ON THE NEXT AGENDA I WOULD PUT, UH, AN AUTHORIZATION TO, UM, SIGN THE AGREEMENT.
AND, UM, THERE'S JUST ONE OTHER LITTLE THING THAT I WANTED TO TALK ABOUT WITH HIM WITH REGARD TO THE AGREEMENT OFFLINE.
AND, UH, THEN I THINK WE'D BE READY TO, YOU KNOW, GO AT, AT HIS AS HIS, AT HIS RESI READINESS.
I HAVE ALSO SENT IT SO, YOU KNOW, TO THE PARKS COMMISSION AND THE DRAPER PARK BOARD.
UM, SO THEY MAY HAVE I I I MEAN THEY MAY HAVE COMMENTS.
I, I, IT SOUNDS, I MEAN, I'M HOPING EVERYBODY LOVES THE IDEA 'CAUSE I THINK IT'S A GOOD ONE MYSELF.
SO IF YOU'D LIKE ME TO HAVE IT READY FOR THE NEXT AGENDA, I CAN DO THAT.
SO, UM, IF WE ARE THANK YOU VILLAGE MANAGER FOR THE REPORT.
I THINK WE'RE DONE WITH THAT PART AND WE CAN MOVE ON
[XI. BOARD DISCUSSION AND COMMENTS]
TO THE BOARD DISCUSSION AND COMMENTS.AND WE'RE GOING TO START WITH THE DISCUSSION OF AMENDMENTS, THE ACCESSORY DWELLING UNIT, A-D-A-D-U LAW.
AND FOR, WITH THAT, I WILL TURN IT OVER TO ATTORNEY, UH, WHITEHEAD.
SO WHAT I'VE DRAFTED, UM, AND IT'S NOT IN LOCAL LAW FORMAT YET, I JUST WANTED TO SORT OF GET YOU IN WRITING THE THINGS THAT WE DISCUSSED AT THE LAST MEETING.
SO OBVIOUSLY THE CROSS OUT IS LANGUAGE TO BE ELIMINATED, UNDERLINE IS NEW LANGUAGE, UM, IT SORT OF REARRANGES A BIT, SO IT'S HARD TO COMPLETELY FOLLOW THAT WE ARE PROPOSING TO.
UM, SO FIRST THING IS WE CHANGE THE DEFINITION, UM, AND THEN AS WE DISCUSSED, PUT IT AS A NEW SECTION UNDER SUPPLEMENTARY REGULATIONS.
SO WE'RE TAKING IT OUT OF THE R 20 WHERE IT IS PART OF THE WATERFALL AND JUST MAKING IT A WHOLE SEPARATE, UM, SECTION TO DEAL WITH ADUS.
UH, WE'VE LISTED THE ZONING DISTRICTS WHERE THEY'RE PERMITTED AND IT'S BASICALLY THE ZONING DISTRICTS WHERE SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENCES ARE PERMITTED.
AS WE DISCUSSED LAST TIME, UM, WE'VE, YOU KNOW, CHANGED THE LANGUAGE FROM ACCESSORY APARTMENT TO ACCESSORY DWELLING UNIT THROUGHOUT.
WE'VE TAKEN AWAY SOME OF THE SUBJECTIVE CRITERIA OR PRETTY MUCH MOST OF THE SUB SUBJECTIVE CRITERIA.
YEAH, SO THE PARKING, UM, WE HAVEN'T CHANGED THE PARKING REQUIREMENT, BUT WE'VE SORT OF FLUSHED OUT A LITTLE BIT WHAT THE, UM, WHAT GETS CONSIDERED AND CONSIDERING A PARKING WAIVER.
UM, LOOKING AT, AND THAT'S ONE OF THE SUGGESTIONS THAT CAME FROM THE AFFORDABLE HOUSING COMMITTEE.
UM, WE'VE, UM, THEN, SO WE'VE SORT OF SET, SEPARATED THE CRITERIA FOR AN A DU FROM THE PROCEDURE MM-HMM
BEFORE THEY WERE KIND OF MASHED TOGETHER.
SO, AND WE'VE CHANGED THE PROCEDURE AS WE DISCUSSED.
SO THE PROCEDURE IS THAT AN APPLICATION GETS SUBMITTED TO THE BUILDING DEPARTMENT, UM, INCLUDING THE PLANS, IF THERE'S NO WAIVERS NEEDED, IF IT MEETS ALL OF THOSE CONDITIONS IN A, THEN THE PERMIT CAN BE ISSUED BY THE BUILDING INSPECTOR.
WE'VE PUT IN THE LANGUAGE ABOUT BEFORE HE ISSUES IT.
NOTICE IS GIVEN TO PROPERTY OWNERS WITHIN A HUNDRED FEET.
IF SOMEBODY OBJECTS, THEN IT HAS TO GO TO THE PLANNING BOARD.
SO, UM, THAT'S A PROCESS THAT WE ALREADY HAVE FOR RENEWALS.
SO WE'VE NOW MADE THAT FOR THESE SORT OF ADMINISTRATIVE PERMITS.
AND, AND BY THE WAY, JUST, UM, THE BUILDING INSPECTOR AND YOUR PLANNING CONSULTANT HAVE BOTH REVIEWED THIS AND HAD NO COMMENTS.
UM, ACTUALLY THE BUILDING INSPECTOR LIKED IT
UM, THEN IF IT DOES REQUIRE ANY WAIVERS, THE BUILDING INSPECTOR WILL SEND IT TO THE PLANNING BOARD.
WHERE, WHERE IT WILL HAVE TO HAVE A PUBLIC HEARING.
[01:00:04]
UH, WE CHANGED THE TERM FROM THREE YEARS TO FIVE YEARS.UM, THE RENEWAL PROCEDURE STAYS THE SAME.
INSPECTOR GIVES NOTICE IF THERE'S OBJECTIONS.
UM, IF HE THINKS THE OBJECTIONS RAISE CONCERNS, HE CAN SEND IT TO THE PLANNING BOARD OR HE CAN MAKE THE DETERMINATION.
UM, WE CHANGE THE PROVISION FOR A CHANGE OF OWNERSHIP.
UM, SO NOW IF, IF A NEW OWNER USED TO BE, IT EXPIRED AUTOMATICALLY ON THE CHANGE OF OWNERSHIP, BUT A NEW OWNER HAD A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF TIME WITHIN WHICH TO APPLY ON THEIR OWN, DOESN'T REALLY MAKE SENSE BECAUSE WHAT YOU'RE LOOKING AT IS THE BUILDING, NOT THE OWNER.
SO IF IT WAS ALREADY ALLOWED FOR THE BUILDING, WHY NOT LET IT CONTINUE? SO WHAT WE'VE SAID NOW, AND IT'S MORE FOR A RECORD KEEPING, IS THE NEW OWNER HAS BASICALLY 90 DAYS TO NOTIFY THE BUILDING DEPARTMENT THAT THEY'RE GONNA KEEP IT.
AND ONCE THAT NOTICE IS GIVEN, THEY GET A NEW FIVE YEAR TERM.
UM, IF THEY DON'T PROVIDE THAT NOTICE, THEN IT'S DEEMED THAT THE PERMIT IS REVOKED.
UM, BUT 90 DAYS SHOULD BE ENOUGH TIME TO, FOR THEM TO BE ABLE TO DO THAT.
AND IS WHEN IT SAYS HERE THE TENANT, IT SHALL BE PERMITTED TO REMAIN THE UNIT FOR 60 DAYS? THAT THAT'S 60 DAYS AFTER THE 90 DAYS? YEAH.
SO IF THE 90 DAYS GOES BY AND THEY DON'T GIVE NOTICE, UM, SO THE PERMIT IS DEEMED REVOKED.
THE BILL VILLAGE WON'T ENFORCE THAT REVOCATION, IF YOU WILL, FOR 60 DAYS.
THE NOTICE WILL GO OUT AT THE 90 DAYS.
I MEAN, WE'LL GIVE A NOTICE THAT YOUR PERMIT'S BEEN REVOKED.
UM, BUT WE'RE NOT GONNA KICK A TENANT OUT ON THAT DAY.
60 DAYS FROM THE DATE OF THE NOTICE.
WOULD THIS AUTOMATICALLY BE PART OF THE CLOSING DOCUMENTS? NO.
WE CAN'T, WE DON'T REALLY HAVE THE ABILITY TO, TO DO THAT.
UM, THERE, THERE MIGHT BE SOMETHING THAT COULD BE PUT LIKE ON THE PERMIT.
LIKE IF YOU ARE SELLING YOUR HOUSE, REMEMBER TO YEAH.
YOU KNOW, A REMINDER REMIND THE, THE NEW OWNER THAT THEY HAVE TO COME IN IN 90 DAYS, SOMETHING LIKE THAT, JUST TO HELP PEOPLE OKAY.
SO THAT'S PRETTY MUCH THE CHANGE.
THE ONE THING, UM, THAT WE TALKED ABOUT A LITTLE BIT LAST MEETING THAT IS NOT ADDRESSED HERE IS THE SETBACK FOR ACCESSORY STRUCTURES.
SO RIGHT NOW, THE SETBACK FOR ACCESSORY STRUCTURES, A REAR SIDE YARD IS EIGHT FEET, EXCEPT IN THE R 20, THERE'S A LIST OF THOSE THAT ARE 20 FEET.
NOT, UH, SO I, I KNOW THAT, UM, THE TWO OF YOU BOTH HAD SOME CONCERNS, UM, AND I KNOW YOU WERE ALSO GONNA KIND OF LOOK AT THOSE AND SEE WHAT THE RESULT IS THERE'S A COUPLE WAYS WE CAN DO IT.
WE CAN HOLD OFF ON THIS WHILE YOU DO THAT.
OR WE CAN GO AHEAD AND ADOPT THIS AND WE CAN ALWAYS MAKE A CHANGE WITH RESPECT TO THE ACCESSORY SETBACKS.
OR YOU CAN SET A GREATER ACCESSORY STRETCH SETBACK FOR AN ACCESSORY STRUCTURE TO HOLD AN A DU, UM, FROM A TIMING STANDPOINT, UM, YOU DON'T MEET AGAIN FOR FOUR WEEKS.
UM, WE CAN PUT THIS INTO A LOCAL LAW THAT YOU WOULD HAVE IT AT YOUR NEXT MEETING.
AT THAT MEETING, YOU WOULD REFER IT OUT TO THE PLANNING BOARD AND THE ZONING BOARD COUNTY, AND SCHEDULE THE PUBLIC HEARING FOR YOUR, ARE THERE TWO MEETINGS IN AUGUST FOR YOUR SECOND MEETING IN AUGUST? YOU COULD SCHEDULE THE PUBLIC HEARING FOR IT'S THE, UM, WE ONLY HAVE ONE MEETING IN AUGUST.
OH, THEN WE WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO HAVE THE HEARING UNTIL THE FIRST WEEK IN SEPTEMBER.
EVEN IF WE MOVE FORWARD NOW, UM, JUST IN TERMS OF THE TIMING FOR, UM, NOTICE AND WHEN THE MEETINGS ARE AND HAVING TO REFER IT TO PLANNING AND ZONING.
MORGAN, WOULD YOU LIKE TO COMMENT FIRST ABOUT THAT SETBACK OF THE, UH, YOU KNOW, THE SIDE YARD OR THE ACCESSORY DWELLING? ACTUALLY, I HAVE TWO.
I HAVE A QUESTION AND A COMMENT.
'CAUSE UH, TRUSTEE MERTON BROUGHT THIS UP TO ME AFTER THE LAST MEETING AND I DON'T HAVE A GOOD ANSWER.
WHY ARE WE PULLING IT OUT AND MAKING ITS OWN SECTION? I MEAN, I THINK IT'S MORE EFFICIENT AS, AS A PIECE OF CODE.
'CAUSE IT'S MORE EFFICIENT AS A PIECE OF CODE
IT'S, IT GETS BURIED WHERE IT WAS.
THAT'S WHAT I THOUGHT, BUT I JUST WANTED TO CONFIRM.
UM, I MEAN, I THINK, I THINK A LOT OF PEOPLE IN THE COMMUNITY WILL BE VERY SURPRISED IF THEY SUDDENLY DISCOVER THAT SOMEONE CAN BUILD AN ACCESSORY DWELLING IN EIGHT FEET FROM THEIR PROPERTY LINE.
[01:05:01]
SO I FEEL LIKE THEY CAN'T TODAY.THEY CAN ACCESSORY DWELLING UNIT.
I'M TALKING ABOUT YOU ALLOW ACCESSORY APARTMENTS IN AN ACCESSORY STRUCTURE SO IT CAN BE EIGHT FEET IN AN ACCESSORY, IN A CONFORMING ACCESSORY STRUCTURE YEAH.
BUT THAT'S WITH PLANNING BOARD APPROVAL.
I MEAN, I, I THINK, I GUESS I SORT OF, I'VE SORT OF BEEN, I'VE BEEN THINKING A LOT ABOUT THIS AND I'M NOT REALLY SURE HOW WE CAN GO AHEAD AND DIAGRAM IT OUT,
I, I DO THINK IF NIKKI WERE HERE, SHE'D SAY THAT THE SKY IS FALLING.
I DON'T THINK THAT'S EVER REALLY GONNA HAPPEN.
BUT I DO THINK THAT IN GENERAL, PEOPLE EXPECT PEOPLE WHO ARE DWELLING IN BUILDINGS THAT THEY WOULD HAVE THE, A NORMAL SETBACK FROM THEIR HOUSE.
AND SO I GUESS I'VE, I'VE ASKED YOU THIS A COUPLE OF TIMES, TRUSTEE ALL, AND YOU, YOU SEEM TO FEEL LIKE IT'S AN UNREASONABLE OF ME, BUT I'M SORT OF WONDERING WHY WE CAN'T JUST INSIST THAT EX, IF WE WANT TO PUT AN ACCESSORY DWELLING IN IT INTO AN ACCESSORY STRUCTURE, THE ACCESSORY STRUCTURE STILL HAS TO ABIDE BY THE PRIMARY DWELLING SETBACKS.
AND THEN A PRIMARY DWELLING SHOULD NOT BE BUILT OUT TO THE FULL, TO ALL ITS SETBACKS ON ALL SIDES BECAUSE YOU HAVE SO MANY NON-CONFORMING LOTS.
MOST OF YOUR PRIMARY STRUCTURES ARE BUILT OUT AT OR BEYOND THE REQUIRED SETBACKS.
WELL, SO THEN IN THOSE CASES, ONE MIGHT ARGUE LIKE IF YOU WERE A NEIGHBOR, THAT THE ACCESSORY DWELLING UNIT SHOULD GO INSIDE THE STRUCTURE AND NOT BE A NEW STRUCTURE ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE STRUCTURE.
I, I THINK THAT, WELL, I HAVE TWO COMMENTS IN RESPONSE TO THAT CONCERN.
ONE IS THAT, UM, THE ISSUE OF NON-COMPLIANCE FOR MOST OF, FOR SO MANY OF OUR CURRENT STRUCTURES, BUT IT'S ALSO THAT THE INTENT OF THIS CHANGE IS TO INCREASE THE NUMBER OF ZONING DISTRICTS WHERE AN A DU COULD BE, UH, IMPLEMENTED OR, OR IN, UH, CONSTRUCTED.
UM, AND, AND GENERALLY THE THINKING IS THAT IT WOULD GO INSIDE AN EXISTING ACCESSORY STRUCTURE, NOT BUILDING A BRAND NEW STRUCTURE.
BUT IT, I UNDERSTAND IT, IT COULD BE A NEW STRUCTURE.
UM, BUT THE, THE IDEA OF, UM, PUTTING A, UM, A, A DWELLING UNIT, AN ACCESSORY DWELLING UNIT INSIDE AND A, A CONFORMING ACCESSORY BUILDING THAT'S EIGHT FEET FROM THE SIDE PROPERTY LINE COULD, WOULD ONLY HAPPEN IN THE SMALLER LOT.
UH, THE SMALLER ZONING DISTRICTS, YOU KNOW, R 10 AND R 7.5, UH, AND SOME OF THE OTHER ONES THAT HAVE SMALLER LOTS.
AND IF YOU GO TO THE LARGER LOTS, THEN THAT STRUCTURE COULD BE, IT WOULD STILL BE FARTHER AWAY FROM THE LOT LINE, BUT YOU WOULDN'T, IN ORDER TO BE CONFORMING, YOU WOULDN'T BE REQUIRED.
YOU COULD STILL PUT IT EIGHT FEET FROM THE PROPERTY LINE THE WAY THIS IS WRITTEN RIGHT NOW.
WELL, THERE'S, BUT THAT'S THE BEAUTY OF WHAT, UH, TRUSTEE DRAKE ADDED WAS THIS, UH, EVEN WITH THE, UM, CONFORMANCE THEN, THEN THE BUILDING DEPARTMENT CAN, THE BUILDING INSPECTOR CAN APPROVE IT.
SO THIS IS NUMBER B POINT, UH, B THREE ON PAGE TWO, THAT THE, UM, THE PROPERTY OWNERS STILL NEED TO BE WITHIN A HUNDRED FEET, STILL NEED TO, UH, BE NOTIFIED AND APPROVE.
IF THERE'S ANY OBJECTION FROM ANY OF THOSE PROPERTY OWNERS, THEN, THEN YOU, THEN YOU'RE KICKED INTO THE PLANNING BOARD.
SO THERE'S STILL, EVEN IF I'M SURPRISED, I CAN, I CAN OBJECT.
NO, I THINK THAT'S A GOOD, THAT'S A GREAT, GREAT PARAGRAPH ACTUALLY.
IS THERE A WAY ALSO, UM, WHAT YOU HAD SAID ABOUT LIKE HAVING THREE CONFORMING STRUCTURES, IS THERE A WAY TO SAY THAT, ALRIGHT, IF THE LOT'S BELOW A HALF ACRE, YOU CAN ONLY HAVE ONE, IS THERE A WAY TO DO THAT? WELL, WHEN I SAID THREE, I MEANT LIKE, LET'S SAY YOU DIFFERENT NEIGHBOR, YOU LIVE HERE, YOUR NEIGHBOR BEHIND YOU PUTS IN EIGHT FEET, THREE CONSECUTIVE.
AND THEN YOUR TWO NEIGHBORS ON EITHER SIDE, BUT NOT THREE ON ONE.
WE ALSO, IF, IF WE'RE GONNA, YOU KNOW, WE COULD EVEN, I KNOW WE'VE GOT THE OBJECTION PROVISION AND WE COULD ALSO JUST SAY THAT IF IT'S IN AN ACCESSORY STRUCTURE, IT HAS TO GO TO THE PLANNING BOARD.
I MEAN, THAT'S ANOTHER OPTION IS JUST, AND PUT SOME OF THE CRITERIA BACK IN FOR THE PLANNING BOARD TO LOOK AT IN TERMS OF THE CHARACTER OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD.
SEE, I, YEAH, I, I I'M PERSONALLY PUSHING, HOPING THAT WE DON'T, THE OTHER WAY,
AND THEN THAT WAY THE CHARACTER OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD IS DRIVEN BY THE PEOPLE WHO ARE RECEIVING THE, THE, THE MAIL.
[01:10:01]
HAVE THE, YOU, YOU CAN, THE CHARACTER OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD WILL CHANGE OVER TIME AS THE PEOPLE IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD CHANGE AND THEY RECEIVED THIS NOTICE.THEY CAN SAY YES OR NO AND ANY FOR, AND THERE'S NO REASON TO, YOU KNOW, THAT THEY, IT IS NOT LIKE THEY CAN'T, THEY HAVE TO JUSTIFY THEIR OBJECTION.
THEY CAN OBJECT ON ANY GROUNDS.
BUT THAT DOESN'T MEAN IT DOESN'T HAPPEN THEN, RIGHT? NO.
THAT MEANS IT HAS TO GO TO THE PLANNING BOARD AT THAT POINT.
IT DOESN'T, IT DOESN'T REJECT IT.
IT MEANS IT DOESN'T GET, UH, THE, IT DOESN'T AUTOMATIC REVIEW.
AND IT DOESN'T MEAN IT'S GOING TO BE APPROVED JUST BECAUSE IT'S GOING THROUGH THE BUILDING DEPARTMENT.
IT STILL HAS TO MEET ALL THE BUILDING CODES.
UM, I MEAN, I FEEL LIKE I'M STRANGELY REPRESENTING THE MOST NIMBY POINT OF VIEW RIGHT NOW, WHICH I'M SHOCKED BY.
BUT LIKE I
AND I MEAN, I AGREE, IT DEPENDS ON WHAT NEIGHBORHOOD YOU'RE IN, BUT THE FACT THAT YOU CAN DO IT IN ANY ONE OF THESE ZONING DISTRICTS EIGHT FEET FROM THE PROPERTY LINE, I THINK IT WOULD BE STARTLING TO SOME PEOPLE.
BUT AGAIN, THEY CAN SAY NO OR OBJECT ANYWAY, BUT THEY CAN OBJECT.
BUT THEN ON WHAT BASIS? LIKE YOU'RE, YOU'RE SAYING THAT, I MEAN, THEY HAVE TO GIVE A REASON.
THEY DON'T HAVE TO GIVE A REASON AT THE PLANNING BOARD HEARING.
THEY WOULD PROBABLY STATE THEIR CASE THEN THEIRS, THE PUBLIC HEARING AND THE CONCERNS AND THE PLANNING BOARD WOULD THEN, AND THE PLANNING BOARD COULD RULE IN EITHER, EITHER WAY, RIGHT? MM-HMM
WHICH IS THE WAY IT IS RIGHT NOW.
I, I JUST THINK THAT WE SHOULD REALLY NOTICE THIS PRETTY HEAVILY.
SO, SO THE COMMUNICATION OF, BUT ALSO, ALSO JUST, JUST ONE THING, AND THIS APPLIES MORE TO THE SIDE YARDS THAN THE REAR.
YOU HAVE, YOU HAVE LARGER REAR YARD SETBACKS, BUT A LOT OF YOUR SIDE YARD SETBACKS ARE NOT THAT MUCH MORE THAN EIGHT.
I MEAN IT'S PRETTY DI MINIMIS ON THE, IN THE SIDE YARDS.
BUT I DO THINK THE REAR YARD IS, IS GONNA BE A LITTLE STARTLING TO PEOPLE.
AND THAT'S, I THINK, YOU KNOW, THE WAY THAT I UNDERSTAND THE INTENT IS THAT THIS IS PRIMARILY, PRIMARILY AIMED AT ACCESSORY STRUCTURES THAT ALREADY EXIST, BASICALLY GARAGES.
AND THE, THE, WHAT I'VE HEARD IN TALKING TO THE AFFORDABLE HOUSING COMMITTEE, IT'S HARD TO PENCIL OUT IN OTHERS TO MAKE A, UH, PROFIT OFF OF BUILDING A NEW ACCESSORY STRUCTURE THAT'S GOING TO BE USED AS AN A DU THAT IT, YOU CONVERTING YOUR GARAGE INTO AN A DU COULD MAKE FINANCIAL SENSE OVER TIME.
SO THAT'S NOT, SO IF I LOOK OUT IN MY BACKYARD WHERE EVERYBODY'S, NOBODY'S CONFORMING EVERYBODY'S HOUSES OR GARAGES ARE ON EACH OTHER'S PROPERTY.
IT'S THE EXAMPLE OF A CONFORMING GARAGE.
IT DOESN'T PRECLUDE SOMEBODY FROM BUILDING A NEW ONE.
BUT THIS IS REALLY THINKING ABOUT THE EXISTING STRUCTURES AND REUSING THEM OR ADAPTIVELY REUSING THEM FOR YEAH.
AND SO IT'S NOT REALLY CHANGING THE PHYSICAL CHARACTER IN THAT REGARD.
IT'S IN THE FACT IT MIGHT TAKE, IT MIGHT TAKE A, A GARAGE THAT'S, IT MIGHT BE AN IMPROVEMENT TO THE EXISTING FACILITY.
AND YOU CAN EVEN PUT IN THE LAW, UM, YOU KNOW, ON, UH, FOR, YOU KNOW, EXISTING, UM, UH, YOU KNOW, STRUCTURES BUILT ON OR BEFORE, YOU KNOW, WHATEVER DATE YOU WANT TO CHOOSE.
UM, YOU, YOU DON'T HAVE TO, YOU COULD, YOU COULD SAY THAT, YOU COULD SAY THAT THE STRUCTURE HAD TO EXIST AS, YOU KNOW, AS OF WHATEVER, YOU KNOW, 2020 YOU MEAN TO, TO PREVENT PEOPLE FROM BUILDING NEW ACCESS RESTRUCTURE.
OH, THAT'S, THAT'S GETTING MORE RESTRICTIVE THAN YOU ARE TODAY.
YEAH, I THINK THAT'S, THAT WOULDN'T, THAT WOULD BE, UH, I THINK THAT'S, THAT'S, UH, I, I THINK I, I PERSONALLY, I LIKE THE IDEA THAT IT DOESN'T TELL SOMEBODY THAT YOU CAN'T BUILD A NEW STRUCTURE AND THAT YOU CAN'T REUSE, YOU CAN'T ADAPTABLY REUSE, UH, YOU CAN'T ADAPT YOUR EXISTING STRUCTURE.
I DON'T THINK I LIKE THE FACT THAT IT DOESN'T GET MORE SPECIFIC THAN I FEEL IT NEEDS TO IN THAT REGARD.
IT'S AN EXISTING BUILDING WHERE A NEW BUILDING, UM, AND IF THE ACCESSORY BUILDING COMPLIES WITH THE CODE FOR ACCESSORY USES, THEN IT CAN BE ADAPTED IN THESE ZONING DISTRICTS.
WHAT, WHAT ABOUT A NON-CONFORMING, UH, GARAGE THAT WOULD GO TO ZONING FIRST? YEAH.
THEN WE HAVE TO, AND WE HAD ONE OF THOSE GET, OKAY.
WE'VE ACTUALLY HAD ONE OF THOSE.
WE HAD SOMEONE WHO WANTED TO CONVERT A GARAGE AND IT DID NOT MEET THE SETBACKS AND IT WENT TO THE ZONING BOARD.
UM, WHAT WAS THE RESULT OF THAT THAT APPROVED? IT DID.
WAS THERE, WERE THERE ANY OBJECTIONS FROM THAT COMMUNITY? NO.
[01:15:01]
OKAY, GREAT.SO ATTORNEY, UH, RIGHT HERE, DO WE JUST MOVE ON OR DO WHAT'S THE YEAH, WE'LL PUT IT INTO A LOCAL LAW FORMAT AND HAVE IT BACK TO YOU SO THAT THE NEXT TIME YOU CAN SCHEDULE A PUBLIC HEARING AND REFER IT OUT.
I THINK, UH, THERE'S JUST ONE MORE APARTMENT REFERENCE AS OPPOSED TO ONE.
YEAH, IT'S IN THAT THREE B SEC, UH, B THREE SECTION.
