New York State passed the Waterfront Revitalization and Coastal Resources Act in 1981 and, in 1982, adopted a State Coastal Management Program.. The State legislation offers municipalities the opportunity to develop local coastal management programs and makes some federal money available for that purpose. In anticipation of this action by New York State, the Village of Mamaroneck moved forward in 1979 to form the Coastal Zone Management Committee, a 30-member, broadly-representative citizen group which was chaired jointly by Mayor Suzi Oppenheimer and Village manager Armand Gianunzio. With a grant of $5,000 in "seed money" from New York State, the Committee developed the Coastal Zone Management Program--Phase One--January 1981 report, Daniel Natchez & Samuel Yasgur, Editors. This report (hereafter, "Phase One Report") inventoried coastal conditions in the Village, identified particular issues and opportunities of special importance, and recommended that a permanent commission be established to develop proposals for specific actions. In 1982, as the State coastal management program was approaching adoption, the Village passed a local law which established a permanent Coastal Zone Management Commission, identified the same issues as in the Phase One Report, and directed the Commission to recommend actions to preserve the Coastal Zone. In May of 1983, the Village entered into a contract with the Department of State of New York State for the preparation of a Local Waterfront Revitalization Program. The project was to be funded jointly by the Village and the State, providing for $20,000 in federal funds to be matched by the Village with a combination of monies and services-in-kind---for a total project cost of $40,000. The result is this document. REQUIREMENTS & BENEFITS The State program contains 44 State Coastal Management Policies. These policies fall into ten different categories--development; fish/wildlife; flooding/erosion hazards; public access; recreation (including historic preservation); scenic quality; water/air- resources; wetlands; general; other. Local governments who elect to prepare a coastal management program must address each of these 44 policies, determine how they apply on a local level, give them appropriate local specificity, and implement them through appropriate local actions. The result of this process is that State policies are given the force of local law and, thereby, New York State can achieve its long-range goals for managing its coastline--a coastline governed by a multitude of local municipalities. The benefit to the local municipality is that, when the local program is approved by the Secretary of State and the U.S. Department of Commerce, then all State and Federal .agency actions (whether direct action, or funding of a project, or granting of a permit) must be consistent with the local program, thereby achieving for local government an unique and powerful influence. The State's authority to approve or withhold approval of a local program does not lessen the authority of the local municipality to determine what best serves the interests of the community. Instead, it adds to local authority by adding the 44 Policies to the legitimate planning goals for which a local government may utilize its powers. DESCRIPTION OF VILLAGE OF MAMARONECK PROGRAM The purpose of the Local Waterfront Revitalization Program is to promote a balance between economic development and preservation in order to permit the beneficial use of coastal resources while preventing the loss of living marine resources and wildlife, diminution of open space areas or public access to the waterfront, impairment of scenic beauty, or permanent adverse changes to ecological systems. The program is composed of an inventory and analysis; a section on policies; a section of specific uses, projects, and procedures; a section on implementation techniques; summary of consultations with other agencies; listing of Federal and State Programs likely to affect implementation; and a description of procedures used to obtain local commitment. The program is a means of implementing State coastal management policies' on a local level. The policie 's are modified where appropriate to reflect the particular situations and circumstances unique to the community. Special provision is made for the continued use of the coastal area for publicly accessible water-dependent activities and for measures to improve harbor and watershed 2 management as well as measures to better manage and protect land and water resources. The program encourages coordinated planning, development, and resource management while the policies themselves serve to guide future activities in the coastal aiea. Specific land and water uses and procedural mechanisms are identified as essential to implementation of key policies. Among these are the preservation of the maritime "working port" character of the waterfront, including the development of a harbor management plan, the siting of water-dependent uses on the coast, and the maintaining or increasing of the present level of public access to the waterfront area. Improved floodplain and watershed management are also identified as necessary to minimize flooding problems and protect existing land uses. Significant coastal resources such as fish and wildlife habitats are identified as valuable land and water uses, and the program recognizes the need to provide additional protection for and management of these areas. A key element of the program is the development of techniques to implement the policies. These include amendments to local laws; establishment of a management rovision structure with P for consistency review; and specific projects, including additional study leading to the completion of a harbor management plan. The implementation techniques fall into four general areas: public access, watershed management, natural resource protection, and harbor management. The Public Access Plan implements the public access policies and several of the development 'policies and recreation policies. It facilitates the siting of water-dependent uses on the coast, strengthens the tax base by promoting the traditional waterfront recreational uses of Mamaroneck Harbor, and ensures at least the present level of public access. The plan provides for amendment to the Vi'llage Zoning ordinance to create a Marine Zone along the waterfront reflecting the current balance of land uses.. The plan recommends providing tax incentives for marine businesses (which would require State-enabling legislation) and the development of programs to increase public awareness of the Village's maritime identity. -in The Watershed Management Ple implements several of the water/air resources policies as well as many of the flooding/erosion hazards policies. it provides for amendment to the Flood Damage Prevention Ordinance so as to incorporate Westchester County's Model ordinance for Flood, Erosion and Sediment Control and to, tighten local regulations in order to minimize to the extent possible flooding and erosion impacts on the coastal area and coastal waters. The need is recognized for a mechanism whereby the combined problems of flooding/sewage overflows/harbor sedimentation can be addressed on a watershed-wide level. 3 New York State is encouraged to recognize that, these watershed problems have a direct and negative impact on coastal waters. Further, the Village recognizes that full secondary treatment of sewage at the Westchester County Sewage Treatment Facility on Harbor Island is desirable in order to protect water quality in Western Long Island Sound. The Natural Resources Protection Plan implements several of the water/air resources policies, the wetlands policy, the fish/wildlife policies, and some of the recreation policies. It provides for amendments to local laws to recognize formally a number of environmentally significant areas; so as to ensure that impacts on such areas are adequately addressed as part of- the SEQR process prior to undertaking potential actions and to minimize, for wetland areas, some of the adverse environmental impact which may potentially result from adjacent high density development. Protection of historical and archeological resources is achieved through application of the appropriate CZM policies as well as through the existing Historic Preservation Ordinance. The Harbor Management Plan when completed, would implement several of the development and recreation policies as well as some of the public access and water/air resources policies. At present, the Plan provides for a new local law restructuring the Harbor Commission, designates specific areas of the harbor for particular uses in order to improve harbor safety, and calls for the registering with the Village of dry-sailed vessels. Still to be determined is the feasibility of expanding Village recreational boating facilities as well as a number of other important questions and considerations. Further study is proposed in order to complete the Harbor Management Plan. This LWRP document is tiered upon the original Phase one Report (January 1981). A preliminary draft LWRP was circulated to the public in September 1983. A draft LWRP, together with a draft Environmental Impact Statement prepared by Malcolm Pirnie Inc., was circulated to the public in May 1984. A public hearing was held by the Village Board of Trustees in June 1984 and continued in July. A Final Environmental Impact Statement was circulated in October of 1984, and the final LWRP was adopted in November 1984. 4 SECTION I WATERFRONT REVITALIZATION AREA BOUNDARY 3TVIOS 9 .7 o 0 )MO,k MgN JUNIOD -dgJLS914:)JLSgtA -MD3NOHVWVW.1oI'9VIIIA Ij ajo4sljo Ia9j OOS'T SPU9jXa UIOLIOLPSL.AnC 'MRI UOL4e6LARN japun :RoN' 4 VRV NOUMIMARI INUMIM A 0 9 low of 41V 0 09 AF-K ........... k Of Description of the Waterfront Revitalization Area: The waterfront revitalization area covered by this program coincides with the boundaries of the Village of Mamaroneck jurisdictional limits, including the harbors, coves, and inlets appearing on the official village survey (of 1911) on file in the office of the Village Engineer as well as the vessel regulation area extending 1,500 feet offshore from Flagler's Dock on Satan's Toe to Orienta Point. 7 SECTION II INVENTORY AND ANALYSIS Summary: In January, 1981, the original Coastal Zone Management committee published its m@report, entitled "Coastal Zone Management Program--Phase one," Natchez & Yasgur, editors. That report (hereafter the "Phase One Report") identified issues to be addressed in the next phase in the development of a coastal management program for the Village of Mamaroneck. This document, the "Local Waterfront Revitalization Program" represents phase two of the process, is tiered upon the Phase One Report, and focuses on issues identified by the original committee. Issues addressed in this phase two document are: (a). riverine flooding, sewage overflows, harbor sedimentation; (b) natural resources and open space; (c) coastal land use and density; and (d) long-term harbor management. Inventory: (a) Riverine flooding, sewage overflows, and 'harbor sedimentation: The Village of Mamaroneck is a low-lying coastal community on the shores of Western Long Island Sound. Situated approximately 23 miles northeast of New York City, the Village encompasses 3.2 square miles and has 9 miles of shorefront. The majority of Mamaroneck's more than 17,000 population do not commute to New York City but, instead, work in or near Mamaroneck. The Village has a combination of residential, commercial, marine recreational, and light industrial development. The recreational facilities are exceptional, and the harbor is well-recognized as an important "working port." Much of the Village lies in flood plains--both coastal and riverine. Because of its coastal location, the Village lies at the bottom of three drainage basins--the Sheldrake River Basin, the Mamaroneck River Basin, and the Beaver Swamp Brook Basin. These watersheds drain approximately 28 square miles of land and are often subject to flooding, especially at the confluence of the Mamaroneack and Sheldrake Rivers. High flood flows have resulted in extensive damage to residential and commercial properties as well as resulting in harbor siltation and significant degradation of coastal water quality. Along with soil absorbency, the shape of a drainage basin is a major factor in determining flood severity. A long, narrow drainage basin does not produce as severe a flood as a basin which is wider in proportion to its length. The wider the basin, the higher the resulting rates of stormwater runoff. The Mamaroneck Basin is wider in proportion to its length than any other in lower Westchester County. Although Mamaroneck itself is characterized by poor drainage associated with floodplains, shallow soils, steep 9 0 -1-00, 0 90 a 0 BRO 9 RIVER Sk 0 BLIND 11AR @I ()N BROOK % 0 T S P L BYRAM RI VER MAMARONEC p 0 0 T RIVER 0 0 ;t%S T E A BRONX RIVER 0000 0 ..000 \a, 0 0 0 00 0 00 C A 0 A 00 -z- BEAVER 0, 0 0 SWAMP 6 ?0 0* BROOK- 00 0 0 0 as I HELDRAKEIP* 0 RIVER 0 0 18 *0 00 0 0 0 0 40 N @()N N 0 hIAR 'NEC, 00 so.. 0 K 0 10 M A R 06 00 a J! 6 000 0 0 so. % 0 I-ARCH NT as HA SO BOUNDARY OF WATER'SHEDS TE B K 0 0 WHICH DRAIN THROUGH HE 0 VILLAGE OF MAMARONECK % R C H M 0 0 0 BROOK *MAJOR DIVIDES separate ,so 0 groups of individual basins 0 )PEL@At ISege *****e*MINOR DIVIDES separate See individual basins 0 P 1E L N A M M AmOkoe@ ;Z@ 0 ---STREAMS have been simplified 0 --a to show the general drainage pattern 4k and the major stream traces. These :fi were taken from the stream classification map prepared for the Water Quality Plannilng Program by the New York State 10 Department of Environmental Conserv@tim 4ii Q slopes, and a high water table, elsewhere in the Mamaroneck/Sheldrake watershed topography and soil types favor high water absorption. In the past, this tended to offset the higher rates of runoff associated with the basin's wide shape. However, land development throughout the combined watershed has reduced this absorption effect. As a result, floods become higher and more frequent as more and more absorbent land is paved over and built upon. These facts were first pointed -out in a study by the Westchester County Dept. of Public Works in 1945. Soil, stripped of vegetation, washes into the rivers and ends up contributing to shoaling of the harbor. Dredging of the entire harbor is needed at least every 10 years in order to maintain adequate depths. Partial dredging of municipal faciities was done in 1982 at a cost to Village taxpayers of over $92,000. Stormwater runoff enters the 282 miles of sanitary lines in the Mamaroneck/Sheldrake watershed and overburdens the sewage treatment plant at the head of the East Basin of Mamaroneck Harbor. At such times sewage.bypasses the plant and is pumped directly into the harbor, jeopardizing Harbor Island Beach and two nearby wetland conservation areas. The outfall line, which extends from the Sewage Treatment Plant to the vicinity of Bell 42 off Milton Point, is deteriorated and leaking. A major project to replace the line is nearing the constructioiL phase. These problems are not unique to the Village of Mamaroneck but are faced by many communities, particularly the Sound Shore communities, which are located at or near the bottom of one or more drainage bas!ins. Structural solutions to riverine flooding have been sought since 1939, when Federal flood control aid was first proposed for the Mamaroneck/Sheldrake area. A major Army Corps of Engineers project is now in the planning stage, with construction targeted to begin in 1986. Non-structural solutions are also needed to address the cause of this problem-- the cumulative impact of' land devlopment. Various of the Sound Shore communities have enacted local flood and wetland ordinances, but these controls apply only within the particular municipality's jurisdiction. Watersheds follow topographical not municipal boundaries. Runoff accumulates from a multitude of individual sources throughout the watershed, and all. of it drains through the Sound Shore communities into Long Island Sound.@ As yet, there is no overall drainage basin planning nor a consistently applied policy of stormwater control, although Westchester County is seeking to promote both through informal intermunicipal agreements. There exists no formal mechanism.whereby watershed management can be accomplished. Match Ljr-e ... .. .. .... a HARRIS Legend OA (2 7 ....... ....

However, this criteria cannot be met under present New York State legislation. The State has riverine water regulations, but they apply to water quality, not quantity. Although many states do have flood control programs--and legislation has been proposed in New York State--none has been signed into law. New York Suburban Town Law permits the establishments of drainage districts but limits participation. Such districts can be established by motion of a town board after a-public hearing or upon petition of at least one-half- the taxable, real property owners in the proposed district. Upon the action of a town, a drainage district may be created in a village if the village consents. No comparable power to initiate a drainage district is granted to villages. Drainage' districts cannot be.created in cities. Since the watersheds affecting the Sound Shore communities are composed of all three types of municipalities, enabling legislation is needed in order to permit equitable participation. Without equitable participation by cities, villages, and towns, management of' watersheds cannot be formalized but will have to be based on the creation of a series of informal intermunicipal agreements. Westchester County has passed enforceable legislation (the Stream Controi Ordinance) which regulates intrusions within 100 feet of the channel line of certain streams. However, the only streams regulated are those in the lower reaches of the watersheds, and therefore this legislation does not address the cumulative impact of stormwater runoff. Westchester County's Soil and Water Conservation District has recently added to its Best Management Practices; Manual Series with thepublication of its "Best Management Practices Manual for Stormwater Runoff Control." This manual establishes a policy of "zero increase" in the rate of peak discharge of stormwater runoff. This means that in order to protect the downstream watershed from increased flooding, such rates should not exceed predevelopment levels. Strictly speaking, adherence to this policy is optional except where a community chooses to include it in its own local regulations. Local regulaticns could be amended to include the "zero increase" policy, or the municipalities could choose to adopt and abide by the County's "Model Ordinance for Flood, Erosion and Sediment Control," which mandates use of Best Management Practices. At the time of this writing, only four communities in Westchester have adopted the Model Ordinance: Yonkers, Town of Rye, Harrison, and North Castle. 13 (b) Natural Resources: The Phase One Report inventoried open spaces in the Village.

Two hundred and twenty-four species of birds have been identified in the vicinity of Ginsberg Hill, Magid Pond, Otter Creek, Van Amringe Millpond and Mamaroneck Harbor. Fourteen, species are identified by New York State as either (a) Endangered; (b) Threatened; (c) of Spec 'ial Concern, or (d) Vulnerable. The list is appended at the end of this section. The Phase One Report proposed that six of the areas be designated by the Village as Critical Environmental Areas because of their unique and/or exceptional value. These were the Van Amringe Millpond,' Otter Creek, Guion Creek, Magid Pond, the Mamaroneck Reservoir, and the Hampshire Country Club. The first four were proposed as CEAs because of the wetland/wildlife habitat values; the Mamaroneck 'Reservoir because of its value as a flood control mechanism; and the Hampshire Country Club because of its sensitive drainage. Five of the six areas Were so designated. The Hampshire Country .Club was not designated because a development application-was pending on contiguous property. The report also recommended that Harrison be requested to designate its portion of the Mamaroneck Reservoir. The request was made but not acted on.. by Harrison.

NOTE: The Mamaroneck Project"Plant (Sewage Treatment Tower and Administration Building) -- (#38) -- appears to meet the criteria for eligibility to both the State and National Register of Historic Places. In addition,, the Village of Mamaroneck is seeking owner-permission to 'designate the Tower and Administration Building as a site of local historic/architectural significance under the local Historic Preservation Ordinance. Resource Management: The major issue confronting these natural resources is land development. Land development, of course, brings money into the community, but the Village is 20 small (3.2 square miles); And after 150 years of building, nearly all open land has been developed. Pressure mounts to develop these natural resource areas as developable land becomes scarce. The goal of coastal management is to balance the need for development with the need for preservation. The natural resources identified in this inventory should be protected to the maximum extent possible. Several Federal and State laws apply to many of Mamaroneck's natural resources. Federal laws (River and Harbor Act of 1899; Clean Water Act; and the Marine Protection, Research and Sanctuaries Act) establish protections through permit review processes which evaluate applications for dredging. Evaluation is based on factors affecting the public interest such as conservation, economics, aesthetics, general environmental concerns, historic values, fish and wildlife values, flood damage prevention, land use, navigation, recreation, water supply, water quality, energy needs, safety, and food production. State regulations include tidal and freshwater wetland land use regulations, the State Environmental Quality Review Act, and the Waterfront Revitalization and Coastal Resources Act. A summary of state regulations is appended at the end of this section. Local means for managing these resources fall into six general categories: acquisition; zoning (conservation districts); 11mited easements or by ordinance (e.g. historic preservation ordinance); consistency with adopted policies (e.g. coastal management policies); local regulation (freshwater wetland law, local law adopting SEQR). Harbor Island Harbor Island is a 44-acre public park with a 700-ft saltwater 'beach, municipal docks and fishing floats, eight tennis courts, fitness trails, paddleball courts, and playgrounds which draw hockey, softball, football, soccer and lacrosse leagues as well as the general public, both resident and non-resident. Throughout the year, there are 'many concerts, carnivals and other recreational programs. In addition to Harbor Island, the Village! also has 12 other parks in its 3.2 square miles. Recreation is the third largest expense in the Village budget, and it is also the greatest source of revenue for the Village other than property taxes. The Phase One Report identified several issues concerning use of Harbor Island: revitalization of the park entranceway, bulkheading, traffic & parking, recreational usesd, and night-lighting, as well as the anticipated expanson of the Sewage Treatment Plant. In addition,"the Village-owned "Old Cement Dock" is underutilized and badly deteriorated. Sewage Treatment Plant Situated adjacent to the Boston Post Road at the entrance to Harbor Island Park is the .21 County-owned Sewage Treatment Plant, officially known as the "Mamaroneck Project Plant (Tower & Administration Building)." It processes sewage from the Mamaroneck Sewer District--a district whose boundaries coincide very nearly with the Mamaroneck/Sheldrake Drainage Basins and include 282 miles of sewer lines'which traverse several different municipalities. The sewage receives primary treatment and is pumped through an underwater pipe out to the vicinity of Bell 42 off Milton Point where it is released into Long Island Sound. Federal water quality standards require that the plant be upgraded to secondary treatment. These standards should be met, without variance, in order to protect water quality in Long Island Sound. Upgrading of the plant would require major reconstruction, which will have a major impact on the use of Harbor Island Park as well as call into question the future of the Tower and Administration Building, which have historic/ architectural significance. Planning should be coordinated with the Village of Mamaroneck. (c) Coastal Land Use The Phase One Report noted that there exists a certain mix of water-dependent and non-water-dependent land uses along the Village's coast and, further, that several major water-dependent uses are not in conformance with the 27,oning ordinance. Work was done to assess the economic impact of the marine recreational industry, which was found to be very significant; and the report recommended that waterfront zoning be reviewed as a whole. Water-de2endent Uses : There is only a finite amount of coastline, and in the Village, it is already completely developed. Elsewhere in the State, the coast is rapidly being taken up, often for uses which do not require a waterfront location. As the number of available waterfront locations diminishes, the pressure increases to convert already-developed property to the most remunerative use. The recent history of waterfront real estate development in New Jersey, City Island, Long Island, Connecticut, Massachusetts, and Rhode Island demonstrates that the most financially remunerative use of waterfront property is either office buildings or condominiums. Neither of those land uses is dependent upon a waterfront location, and each substantially reduces or eliminates access to water-dependent recreation. Land uses which cannot exist without a waterfront location--and which are highly vulnerable to redevelopment pressues--include boatyards and beachclubs. . Boatyards, with their summer dockage, -winter storage, and repair services provide essential services to, and needed public access for, recreational boaters. Similarly, beachclubs, with their beaches and./or marinas, clubhouses, tennis courts, etc. and open spaces provide 22 A, 'A -5@. X @ .-A IX AA N@> ;0 X /g, lz 1C 0 L, A".

COUNTY NEW YORK 30 L SCALE 23 \_P facilites and quasi-public access for large numbers of people seeking to enjoy Mamaroneck's waterfront. Balance of Coastal Uses Boasting six major clubs and six boatyard facilities, Mamaroneck's waterfront is approximately nine miles long. Wise management of this tremendous resource is a major goal. The first step is to determine what is the present balance of water-dependent vs. non water-dependent uses. For this purpose, attention was given to that property which extends from the coastline (including underwater land grants) to the inland boundary of the first lot or lots owned by the same owner and put to the same use. This area was considered the minimum necessary for the purpose of identifying waterfront usage in a comprehensive manner and ascertaining the existing mixed balance of land uses. For ease of reference, the waterfront land necessary for determining the balance of uses is called the "marine zone." The waterfront property which constitutes the marine zone is presently zoned 98% residential, and the remaining 2% is zoned commercial. Actual use of this land varies substantially from the zoning. Present usage is actually 76% residential, 11% public, 8% club, and 5% boatyard., All of the boatyards are non-conforming uses--three are non-conforming in a residential district and three are non-conforming in a commercial district. All of the clubs are Special Exception uses--five are special exception in a residential district and one is a special exception in a commercial district. "Special exception" designation imposes special restrictions. The publicly-owned (Village) property is almost entirely dedicated parkland, not available for residential use. Economic Impacts Redevelopment of land presently occupied by six boatyards and six clubs in conformance with present zoning would add approximately $169,000 in additional tax revenue (infrastructure costs not deducted). However, the revenues could be gained only through the loss of the Village's marine recreational industry. It is estimated that the marine recreational industry (boatyards,' clubs, and 20 associated inland marine businesses) generate a minimum of $18 million in annual economic activity for the Village. (See Westchester County's Joint Dredge Maintenance Feasibility Study and comment of Robert Wardwell in LWRP Final Environmental Impact Statement.) other factors include employment and public access. Public Access Recreational access to Long Island Sound is of three different types: (1) municipal parkland, 'beach, and marina; (2) commercial boayards; (3) quasi-public -access through waterfront clubs. Each type of facility offers a somewhat different range of facilities. Municipal docks accommodate only small boats, mostly power; but the park offers tremendous passive waterfront access and the beach is the largest in the Village.

Commercial boatyards offer the most boating facilities to the greatest number of people, accommodating the widest variety of watercraft on a year-round basis as well as being the sole source of essential suport services. More than 10,000 people enjoy Mamaroneck's waterfront (figures incomplete). The ability to relocate this access is very restricted due to the existing level of development;. therefore it is important that the present sources of access be preserved, promoted, and enhanced. Benefits Compared: Redevelopment Preserve Balance $169,000 in taxes $18+ Million in 100 new families local business Four office bldgs on 300+ Local Jobs E. Boston Post Rd. 10,000+ have Access Immediate action should be taken to protect the marine economy and the present level of public access, ensure the future vitality of the harbor, and maximize the Village's coastal assets and opportunities. Amendment of the Zoning Ordinance to create a Marine Zone which preserves the present balance is an essential first step. (d) Harbor Use Harbor traffic was surveyed in 1980 and again in 1983 (copy appended at the end of this section). During the three-year period there was an 18% increase in harbor traffic with total boat trips of 3,928 in 1983. Traffic averaged three boats per minutes passing the same narrow point in the harbor. Occasional problems occurred when small sailboats without auxiliary power tacked back and forth across the channel, attempting ingress or egress against headwinds. But, in general, traffic was observed to move smoothly; and on the whole, the harbor is not congested. In 1984, the Village managed mooring and docking arrangements for 1,430 boats and maintains a long waiting list. Direct fee revenue* to the Village from this activity was $90,000. Thus, harbor activities not only contribute to the local business economy but also make a major contribution to municipal revenues. Given the results of the harbor traffic survey and the fact that demand for boatng facilities is intense, consideration should be given to the feasibility of providing additional boating space. Fees are based on permits and are revised from time to time. Permits are required in order to help achieve the following harbor management goals: keep the Village's 27 navigable waters in a sanitary and safe condition, make the best use of,available mooring space, avoid congestion, avoid obstruction. of the Federal channel, make mooring positions available with due regard for water depths and vessel drafts, and to afford ease of approach to and departure from a mooring with less danger of fouling and collision.] Dry-sailed Vessels : Several hundred small boats (15-24 ft) are dry-sailed from various boatyards in the harbor. Dry-sailing is a desired use since it takes little upland .P space and serves the needs of a substantial portion of the recreational boating public. Dry-sailing should be encouraged within the height restrictions required by the Zoning ordinance. Dry-sailed vessels should be subject to the same registration process and appropriate administrative fee as other vessels using the harbor. Long-term Maintenance : Docks, seawalls, and Village-owned marine-related equipment are in need of ongoing maintenance. At present, repair or replacement is needed in many of these areas. Dredging is a regular costly need. Support should be given to the County's efforts to effect savings through intermunicipal cooperation in dredge maintenance and consideration should be given to setting aside each year for dredge work a certain sum of money. A capital fund is needed to fund immediate repairs and long-term maintenance. Harbor Management Long-range harbor preservation and enhancement should include provision for maintenance dredging, preservation of sea walls, public access, access to anchorage areas, compatible recreation programst environmental concerns, the County Sewage Treatment Plant, compatible adjacent parks, expanded marine facilities, transient docking facilities, breakwaters, fishing wharfs, pump-out facilities. With regard to the construction of marine structures on the waterfront, it appears advisable that.consideration be given to a program for developing construction standards, which might include design specifications for the purpose of promoting public safety, health, and welfare. These and other appropriate considerations should be reviewed by the Harbor Commission as part of an overall harbor management program to be prepared under their direction. 28 APPENDIX TO SECTION II ------- RESOURCE MATERIALS 1.

TIDAL WETLANDS and adjacent areas (as identified on maps in the Village Engineer's office and available from' the N.Y. Dept. of Environmental Conservation, New Paltz) have been found to be vital and productive areas. Extensive tidal wetlands have- been identified in the Village of Mamaroneck, most notably Otter and Guion Creeks and others near the Larchmont border. Environmental Conservation Law Sec. 25-0302 and NYCRR Part 661 regulate development in tidal wetlands and adjacent areas. Standards for issuance of permits are detailed in NYCRR Sec. 661.1. Special conditions may be required or variances qranted under special circumstances. . Permits may be issued, denied, or revoked. Provision is made for enforcement and penalties. 2. FRESHWATER WETLANDS and adjacent areas (as identified on map on file in the Village Engineer's office and available from DEC, New Paltz) have been found to be vital and productive areas. only one freshwater wetland has been identified in the Village--Magid Pond--but it is classed as a one of the most valuable in the State. State regulations are in the process of amendment for the purpose of turning over implementation of these regulations to local government. At time of writing, ECL Sec. 24-0301 and 24-0501 and NYCRR Part 663 provide for preservation of freshwater wetlands, while standards for issuance of permits are detailed in NYCRR Sec. 663.4 and 663.5. At present, ECL Sec 24-0501, in conjunction with Local Law No. 1-1977 provide for local implementation. If implementation is turned over to Mamaroneck, all permit authority would reside with the Planning Board. STATE ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY REVIEW ACT (SUMMARY) Environmental Conservation Law Sec. 8-0113 and NYCRR Part 617 provide for an environmental review process whereby all agencies of government conduct their business with an awareness that they have an obligation to protect: the environment for this and future generations. The law is known as SEQR, and its basic purpose is to incorporate consideration of environmental factors into the planning, review, and decision-making process of the State and local government agencies at the earliest possible time. The law requires that the protection and enhancement of the 30 environment and community resources be given appropriate weight with social and economic considerations in the formulation of public policy. Basically, SEQR calls for environmental review of actions before such actions are approved. It also allows local governments to designate certain areas within their boundaries as Critical Environmental Areas. NYCRR Sec. 617.11 establishes criteria for determining if an action may have a significant effect on the environment. NYCRR Sec. 617.12 and .13 define what actions are presumed to have a significant effect and what are not presumed to have such an effect. Applicants must file an Environmental Assessment Form with their application answering questions which indicate whether an action,may affect the environment. The government agency with the power to make the final decision* on the application is defined as the "lead agency" and that agency must decide whether or not to have an environmental review. If it is determined that the actions will not have-a significant effect on the environment, then that agency causes a negative declaration to be issued. If it is found that the action may have a significant effect, then an environmental review is required. NYCRR Sec. 617.11 sets forth criteria for determining whether or not an action may have a significant effect on the environment. These criteria include the following: (1) Substantial adverse- changes in air quality, water quality, noise levels, or solid waste products; (2) Erosion, flooding, and drainage problems; (3) Destruction of vegetation or fauna; (4) Interference with wildlife species; (5) Effects on the habitat areas of threatened or endangered species; (6) Assembly of large numbers of people for more than a few days; (7) Impairment of important historical/ archeological/architectural or aesthetic resources; (8) Change in the use of land or other natural resources; (9) Cumulative impact where more than one element is affected and together the effect is substantially adverse. NYCRR Sec. 617.12 lists those types of projects (Type I) which are. most likely to have a significant effect on the 31 environment and therefore to require an environmental impact statement. NYCRR Sec. 617.13 lists those types of projects (Type II) which have already been determined not to have a significant effect and do not require environmental impact statements. Unlisted actions may or may not have a significant effect on the environment and may or may not require an environmental impact statement. In determining what land areas or what applications are covered, it should be noted that any action within or contiguous to an historic or prehistoric site or any project which occurs wholely or partly within (or substantially contiguous to) a public,park or designated open space or in a Critical Environmental Area is determined to be a Type 1 project and presumed to have a significant effect on the environment. However, determination to require an environmental review for Type 1 actions is not mandatory but is left up the discretion of the lead agency. Upon completion of an environmental review, an agency is required (under NYCRR Sec. 617.9) to make a written finding stating that--from the reasonable alternatives considered--the action to be approved is the ' one which minimizes to the maximum extent practicable any environmental harm. This must be done before the action can be approved. 32 HISTORIC PRESERVATION ORDINANCE - LOCAL LAW No. 9-1982 (SUMMARY) This law provides for the creation of preservation districts, and protected sites and structures. it establishes a Landmarks Advisory Committee, members to be appointed by the Village Board of Trustees and empowered to make recommendations to the Village Board for designations of such districts, sites, and structures. Designations are made by the Village Board following the ownerls permission, review by appropriate boards, and -ublic p hearing; and following a determination by the Village Board that the district, site or structure meets one or more of the following criteria: (1) is associated with persons or events of historic significance; (2)-illustrates historic development; (3) embodies distinctive architectural or artistic qualities, or (4) possesses unique overall architectural quality. Special provisions apply to interiors of buildings. Districts, sites and structures designated for protection may not be materially changed in appearance without a Certificate of Appropriateness from the Board of Architectural Review. Such certificates can be issued if the BAR determines that the change will be consistent with the intent and purpose of this ordinance. Applicants can appeal a BAR decision in cases of substantial hardship. Various remedial actions are available to alleviate hardships. Violations are subject to specific penalties (cash and/or confinement). 33 SIGN ORDINANCE (SUMMARY) This law regulates the erection and maintenance of outdoor advertising, displays, signs and awnings by providing that permits must be obtained from the Building I nspector. Applications to erect, construct, paint, alter, relocate, reconstruct, display or maintain signs or awnings are to be filed with the Building Inspector, who submits them to the Board of Architectural Review. Upon approval by the BAR, permits may be issued providing the sign or awning meets the provisions of the ordinance. Different restrictions are placed on signs in residential districts, business districts, and industrial districts. Special restrictions apply to projecting. signs, lighted signs, and to temporary signs or banners. There are general provisions regarding safety as well as procedures for variancest appeals, and penalties. 34 SIGHTINGS OF BIRDS 1977-1985.

Twenty-seven one-hour boat counts were made on weekends and holidays at times one could expect a high degree of boating activity. These counts were made by Warren and Mildred Warnecke--taken from a position S.E. of Red Nun Buoy #12, which is the narrowest point of the harbor channel at the dividing line' between the inner and outer harbor limits. All boats either leaving or entering Mamaroneck Harbor were counted, and the total count was broken down into three categories of boat types: sail, power, other. The last category included canoes, dinghies, tenders, kayacs--any craft paddled, rowed or tethered and hauled. Except when sailboards crossed the channel at right angles on an offshore breeze, traffic moved smoothly; and only on occasion was it observed to be congested--when four boats moved abreast in a channel "squeezed" by low tide. Summary of 27 One-Hour Counts: 1983 1980 Increase-- Total Number of Boats Counted 3,928 3,339 598 (17.6%) overall Average Per Hour 145.5 123.7 21.8 (17.6%) Overall Average Per Minute 2.43 2.06 ..37(17.9%) Comparison of 1980 with 1983 shows an increase in number of boats to be approximately 18% over the three-year period. The breakdown into categories was not addressed in the 1980 survey; however, it should be noted that of the overall 1983 total (3,928), power boats (2,661) accounted for 68% while sailboats (1,109) accounted for 28% of the total. The remaining 4% were "other." Power-boating outnumbers sailboating by more than two to one. 39 Match Line ........... W@c X ox 1- V, Legend 0,thordo a vi.oyord, Ao High Intometty Cropland .. .......

Explanation Revitalization of once dynamic waterfront areas is one of the most effective means of encouraging economic growth in the State. In responding to this policy, several other policies must be considered. Priority should be given to uses which are dependent on a location adjacent to the water; the action should enhance existing and anticipated uses and lead to development which is compatible with the character of the area; the action should have the potential to improve the existing economic base of the community (e.g. by meeting unmet consumer needs); should improve adjacent and upland views of the water; and should have the potential to improve the potential for multiple uses.of the site. The Village of Mamaroneck waterfront has few areas which are underutilized and deteriorated. One area which falls; into this category is the Village-owned property at the entrance to Harbor Island Park. It should be developed to a water-dependent use which is compatible with surrounding uses and which utilizes the potential of the existing dock, which though deteriorated has the potential to make a significant contribution to waterfront recreational access. POLICY 2 (Also see Policy 4) Facilitate the siting of water-dependent uses and facilities on or adjacent to coastal waters. Explanation There is a 'finite amount of waterfront property in the village, and all of it has already been developed to specific uses. However, demand is increasing for waterfront property, and this results in increased pressures for re-development. Re-development pressures can result in either changes in land use or changes in densities, or both. The traditional method of land allocation (i.e. the real estate market, with or without land use controls) offers little assurance that uses which require waterfront sites will, in fact, continue to be accommodated on the Vill-age's waterfront. The Village of Mamaroneck enjoys a unique maritime identity which is derived from 'its excellent harbor and. the waterfront and related activites which it permits. The excellence of the harbor is dependent not only upon its geographical shape but also upon.the availability of public, quasi-public (club), and commercial marine facilities which front on the harbor and particularly on the ava'ilabili.ty of full-service commercial marine facilities for the abundance of recreational boaters using Western Long Island Sound, whose active use of the harbor benefits the Village by contributing to its economy and character. The following uses and facilities. are considered as water-dependent: a. Recreational activities which depend on access to coastal waters (for example, boating, swimming, fishing, wildlife viewing); b. Recreational facilities which depend on access to ,coastal waters. Examples of such water-dependent facilities include the following: - Beach and/or yacht clubs; - Facilities needed to store and service boats Aboatyards, marinas, boat construction yards), more specifically identified as: facilities for hauling, launching, drystorage, and drysailing of boats; facilities for building, repairing, and maintaining boats and marine engines and other boating equipment; facilities for docking and mooring of boats, especially when found in conjunction with the above. C. Support facilities which are necessary for the successful functioning of* permitted water-dependent uses (for example, facilities for the sale of fuel for boats, for the pumping out of marine holding tanks, for waste oil. collection, parking lots, and dry storage of boats). d. Commercial facilities for the construction of boats. In addition to water-dependent uses, uses which are enhanced by a waterfront location should be encouraged to locate along the shore, although not at the expense of water-dependent uses. A water-enhanced use is defined as a use that has no critical dependence on obtaining a waterfront location, but the profitability of the use and/or the enjoyment level of the users would be increased significantly if'the USE! were adjacent to, or had visual access to, the waterfront. Where possible, consideration should be given to providing water-dependent uses with property tax incentives. This is a State policy which has special relevance to the Village of Mamaroneck since all commercial marine uses have loncl been zoned non-conforming and thus have been discouraged from expanding or upgrading their properties. If these 52 water-dependent uses were to be re-zoned to conforming use and thus encouraged to expand or upgrade, action should be taken to permit any such construction to be accomplished without re-assessment for tax purposes for a certain appropriate period of time. It is recognized that the waterfront of the Village of Mamaroneck is an asset which gives the Village its character and value--and that this is a fragile asset vulnerable to destruction by increasing pressures for re-development. The re-development pressures can result in the elimination of water-dependent uses, and that result would be inconsistent with the policies of this program. "Local land use controls, especially the use of zoning districts exclusively for waterfront uses, can toe an effective tool in assuring adequate space for the development of water-dependent uses." (State of New York Coastal Management Program and Final Environmental Impact Statement, August 1982, Pg. 11-6-3.) POLICY 3. Not applicable. POLICY 4 Strengthen the economic base of smaller harbor areas by encouraging the development and enhancement of those traditional uses and activities which have provided such areas with their unique maritime identity. Explanation : The Village of Mamaroneck is widely known for its waterfront recreational facilities (public park & marina, clubs, and boatyards) and is recognized as a maritime center of exceptional boating facilities and an abundance of marine-related retail businesses. The harbor is home to approximately 1,700 boats and boasts six boatyards, two public marinas, sixteen yacht and beach clubs, two mooring contractors, a boat-and-bait fishing station, a Coast Guard station, and 20 marine retail businesses. Marine activity contributions to the local economy are estimated at more than $18 million annually. The recreational industry accounts for several hundred year-round jobs. The continued health of the recreational economy is largely contingent upon implementation of Policy #2. Development and enhancement of the Village's maritime uses and activities can only be accomplished if local land use controls are implemented to prevent the displacement of water-dependent uses by water-enhanced uses. In addition, tax incentives should be offered, if possible as development inducement for water-dependent uses. In general, the marine recreational industry should be encouraged and water-dependent uses (public, club, and commercial mariner) should be.promoted. 53 Harbor maintenance and management is a vital aspect of any policy for encouraging the' Village's traditional maritime uses. Long-range planning for dredging, maintenance of public facilities, regulations for the safe passage of vessels, future development, of 'the harbor, etc. should be addressed through the preparation of a harbor management plan. POLICY 5. Encourage the location of development in areas where public services and facilities are adequate. Explanation: Located 23' miles from New York City, Mamaroneck is a suburban village where almost all land has been fully developed. In , addition, infrastructure facilities and public services are generally adequate. POLICY 6. Expedite permit procedures in order to facilitate the siting of development activities at suitable locations. Continued development, where possible and appropriate, is desirable. In order to encourage such suitable development, permit procedures should be reviewed to determine if existing controls can be simplified in an effort to expedite desired development in areas suitable for such development. FISH AND WILDLIFE POLICIES POLICY 7 8ignificant coastal fish and wildlife habitats, as identified on the N.Y. State Coastal Area Map (when finalized), shall be protected, preserved, and where practical, restored so as to maintain their viability as habitats.- (See Coastal Area Map on page 17.) Explanation: Habitat protection is recognized as fundamental to assuring the survival of fish and wildlife populations. Certain habitats are particularly critical to the maintenance of a given population and therefore merit special protection. Such habitats exhibit one or more of the following characteristics: a. are essential to the survival of a large portion of a particular fish or wildlife poopulation (e.g. feeding grounds, nursery areas, wetlands both saltwater and freshwater together with adjacent open areas); b. support populations of rare, endangered, and threatened species; C. are found at a very low frequency within a coastal region and/or are on a migratory path; d. support fish and wildlife populations having significant commercial and/or recreational and/or educational value; and 54 e. would be difficult or impossible to replace. State-wide designation of habitats has not yet been finalized. When designations are finalized, this Program should be amended to include these designations. POLICY 7a The following areas are identified in this Program as significant fish and wildlife habitats; and they will be protected, preserved, and where practical, restored so as to maintain their viability as habitats. a. Delancey Cove b. Greacen Point Marsh c. Ginsberg Hill (Fusco Property) d. Guion Creek Salt Marsh e. Kirstein Cove/Buttenweiser Is./Pops Rocks f. Magid Pond g. otter Creek Salt Marsh h. Van Amringe Mill Pond. In order to protect and preserve these significant habitats, land and water uses or development shall be undertaken only if such actions are consistent to the maximum extent practicable with the intent and purpose of this policy. When the action significantly reduces a vital resource (e.g. food, shelter, living space) or change environmental conditions (e.g. temperature, substrate, salinity) beyond the tolerance range of an organism, then the action would be considered to significantly impair the habitat. Indicators of a significantly impaired habitat may include: reduced carrying capacity, changes in community structure (food chain relationships, species diversity), reduced productivity and/or increased incidence of disease and mortality. The range of physical, biological and chemical parameters which should be considered include: a. physical parameters such as living space, circulation, flushing rates, tidal amplitude, turbidity, water temperature, depth (loss of littoral zone), morphology, substrate type, vegetation, structure, erosion and sedimentation rates; b. biological parameters such as community structure, foo 'd chain relationships, species diversity, predator/prey relationships, population size, mortality rates, reproductive rates, behavioral patterns, and migratory patterns; C. chemical parameters such as dissolved oxygen, carbon dioxide, ph, dissolved solids, nutrients, organics, salinity, pollutants. Wh6n a pro posed action is likely to alter any of the 55 biological, physical or chemical parameters as described above beyond the tolerance range of the organisms occupying the habitat, the viability of that habitat has been significantly impaired or destroyed. Such action, therefore, would be inconsistent with the above policy. POLICY 8 Protect fish and wildlife resources in the coastal area from the introduction of hazardous wastes and other pollutants which bioaccumulate in the food chain or which 'cause significant sublethal or lethal effect on those resources. Explanation@ The handling of hazardous wastes is regulated by State law, a 'nd those regulations are considered adequate for the purposes of this policy. However, other pollutants are of local concern, including conventional wastes (especially sewage), oil, fuel, herbicides, pesticides, swimming pool disinfectants--from both point and non-point sources. Both intentional dumping of pollutants into rivers and catch basins as well as pollutant-carring runoff generated by new development can be harmful to fish and wildlife resources, and such actions should be prosecuted and/or prevented. POLICY 9 Expand recreational use of fish and wildlife resources in coastal areas by increasing access to existing resources, supplementing existing stocks and developing new resources. Such efforts shall be made in a manner which ensures the protection of renewable fish and wildlife resources and considers other activities dependent on them. Explanation Recreational uses 'of coastal fish and wildlife resources include fishing,' lobstering, bird-watching and nature study, but exclude hunting. In the Village of Mamaroneck, there are only two ways to expand recreational use of fish and wildlife resources. The first way is to expand access to waterfront recreation (see Policies 1, 2 and 4). The second way is to upgrade coastal water quality to the point where the extensive shellfish beds in the area (now closed due to proximity to the Sewage Treatment Plant) are considered safe to re-open. (Also see Policies 10 and 30.) POLICY 10 .Further develop commercial finfish, shellfish and crustacean resources in the coastal area. Explanation Commercial finfishing and lobstering exist*on a small scale and are not incompatible with the traditional recreational uses of Mamaroneck Harbor except when lobster pots, placed in channel and anchorage areas, jeopardize the safe passage and mooring of vessels. All shellfish beds are closed, as explained in Policy 9. On-shore facilties which promote commercial fishing and lobstering are a desirable 56 use where appropriate standards are met, and they should be promoted and enhanced. FLOODING & EROSION HAZARDS POLICIES POLICY 11 Buildings and other structures will be sited in the coastal area so as to minimize damage to property and the endangering of human lives caused by flooding and erosion. Explanation : Local, state, and federal laws regulate the siting of buildings in erosion hazard areas, coastal high hazard areas, and floodways; and these regulations are adequate to implement this policy. POLICY 12 ,Activities or development in the coastal area will be undertaken so as to minimize damage to natural resources and property from flooding and erosion by protecting natural protective features. Explanation Natural protective features (including wetlands, trees, beaches, and offshore islands) help safeguard coastal lands and property from damage, as well as reduce danger to human life, resulting from flooding and erosion. Excavation of coastal features, improperly designed structures, inadequate site planning, or other similar actions which fail to recognize their high protective values lead to diminishing or destruction of those values. Activities or development in, or in proximity to, natural protective features must ensure that all such adverse effects are minimized. Wetlands function as important flood-mitigators and will be protected from all encroachments which could impair their flood-reducing capacity. POLICY 13 The construction or reconstruction of erosion protection structures shall be undertaken only if they have a reasonable probability of controlling erosion for at least thirty years. Explanation On a State level, this policy is directed primarily at coastal erosion; however, on a local level, this policy is directed primarily at riverine erosion. Erosion control structures are often needed to stabilize riverbanks to mitigate the accumulation and transport of silt, which can diminish -.river-carrying capacity and/or increase harbor siltation. This policy is not directed at temporary structures erected to control siltation during construction projects. 57 POLICY 14 Activities and development, including the construction or reconstruction of erosion protection structures, shall be undertaken so that there will be no measurable increase in erosion or flooding at the site of such activities or development or at other locations. Explanation : Coastal and riverine erosion and flooding are processes which occur naturally. However, by his actions, man can increase the severity and adverse effects of those processes, causing damage to or loss of property, and endangering human lives. Those actions include: the use of erosion protection structures such as groins, or the use of impermeable docks which 'block the littoral transport of sediment to adjacent shorelands, thus increasing their rate of recession; the failure to 'observe proper drainage or land restoration practices such as Best Management Practices for soil erosion and -stormwater management (See Policy 33), thereby causing runoff and the erosion and weakening of riverbanks and shorelands and downstream flooding; and the placing of structures in identified floodways so that the base flood level is increased causing damage. POLICY 15 Not applicable. POLICY 16 Not applicable. POLICY 17' Whenever possible, use nonstructural measures to minimize damage to natural resources and property from flooding and erosion. Such measures shall include: U) the setback of buildings and structures; (ii)@ the planting of vegetation and the installation of sand fencing and draining; (iii) the reshaping of bluffs; and (iv) the floodproofing of buildings or their elevation above the base flood level. Explanation : This policy recognizes both the potential adverse impacts of coastal and riverine flooding on and erosion on development and natural protective features which may occur in the coastal area as well as the costs of protection against those hazards which structural measures entails. Nonstructural measures include the use of minimum setbacks, the avoidance of risk or damage by siting of buildings outside high hazard areas, and the floodproofing of buildings or their elevation above the base flood level. It also applies to the planning, siting and design of proposed development, including measures to protect existing activities and development. It applies to nonstructural measures to minimize damage to natural resources and property from flooding'and erosion from riverine flooding. Best Management Practices shall be used to minimize erosion during construction. Westchester County and the Village of Mamaroneck have determined that these include a policy of lizero increase" in peak rates of stormwater discharge. This policy means that building projects and other development 58 shall not result in increased peak rates of stormwater discharge beyond predevelopment levels. The planning, siting, and design of proposed development in a floodplain will be in accordance with the Flood Damage Prevention Ordinance and all planning, siting, and design of proposed development regardless of location shall conform to Best Management Practices. (See Policies 33 and 37.) GENERAL POLICY: POLICY 18 To safeguard the vital economic, social and environmental interests of the State and the Village of Mamaroneck, proposed major actions in the coastal area must give full consideration to those interests, and to the safeguards which the State and Village have established to protect valuable coastal resource areas. Ex2lanation Proposed major actions may be undertaken in the coastal area if they will not significantly impair valuable coastal waters and resources'. This policy applies to actions which would affect natural resources identified in this Program, water levels and flows (both saltwater and riverine), and recreation. PUBIIC ACCESS POLICIES POLICY 19 Protect, maintain and increase t he levels and types of access to public water-related recreation resources and facilities so that these resources and facilities may be fully utilized by all the public in accordance with reasonably anticipated public recreation needs and the protection of historic and natural resources. In providing such access, priority shall be given to public beaches, boating facilities, fishing areas and waterfront parks. Explanation Village facilities, commercial marine facilities and quasi-public club facilities, as Well as other water-related recreational facilities, shall be encouraged, protected, maintained and increased where appropriate. See Policies #1, 2, and 4. POLICY 20 Access to the publicly-owned foreshore and to lands immediately adjacent to the foreshore or the water's edge that are publicly owned'shall be provided, and it should be provided in a manner compatible with adjoining uses. Such lands shall be retained in public ownership. Explanation : It is a State policy that in coastal areas where there are little or no recreation facilities providing specific water-related recreational activities, access to the publicly-owned lands of the coast is to be provided for activities which require only minimal facilities for their enjoyment (e.g. walking paths, bicycling paths, and 59 opportunities f or passive enjoyment). Publicly-owned lands of the coast include not only Village-owned property but also the State-owned. property below the high watermark. (Unless specifically granted to an individual landowner, the State owns all land underwater; and this includes that portion of the coast which is dry at low tide.) Because of the exceptiohal water-related recreational facilities in Mamaronecki, this policy has limited applicability. However, should these facilities be substantially diminished, then this policy would have greater. applicability to the Village. It is desirable that the present level of public access not be diminished. RECREATION POLICIES: POLICY 21 Wate@r-dependent and water-enhanced recreation shall be encouraged and facilitated and shall be given priority over nonwater-related uses along the coast, provided it is consistent with the preservation and enhancement of other coastal resources and takes into account demand for such facilities. In facilitating such activities, priority shall be given to areas where access to the recreation opportunities of the coast can be provided by new or existing public transportation services and to those areas where the use of the shore is severely restricted by existing development. Explanation : Provided the development of water-related recreation is. consistent with the preservation and .enhancement of important coastal resources such,as fish and wildlife habitats, aesthetically significant areas and cultural resources, and provided demand exists, water-related recreation development is to be increased and such uses shall have a higher priority than any non-coastal dependent uses, including non-water-related recreation uses. In addition, water-dependent recreation uses shall have higher priority over water-enhanced recreation uses. Among the types of water-dependent recreation, provision of adequate boating services (including essential storage and repair services) to meet present and future demand is to be encouraged by this Program. The siting of boating facilities must be consistent with preservation. and enhancement of other coastal resources and with their capacity to accommodate demand. The State and Village recognize a regional need for boating faciities in order to correct an area-wide problem of insufficient and shrinking facilities. In the Village of Mamaroneck, bOatyards, yacht and beach clubs, as well as public.marinas, provide waterfront access for water-dependent recreation uses. The provision of adequate land-based boating services is a major concern of this policy. The clubs and the public marinas provide limited summer dockage and mooring space; but land-based support services are provided only by the commercial marine enterprises. These services include drysailing, dry 60 storage, full-service repair and maintenance--essential for the continued enjoyment of the present level of recreational boating activity in Mamaroneck Harbor. More than 10,000 people enjoy water-dependent recreation Uses through use of the municipal, quasi-public (club), and commercial marine faciltiesi ' In order to encourage and facilitate water-dependent recreation, these activities will be encouraged and facilitated and given priority over water-enhanced and.nonwater-related activities. POLICY 22 Development and re-development, when located adjacent to the shore, shall provide for water-related recreation, as a multiple use, whenever such recreational use is appropriate in light of reasonably anticipated demand for such activities and the primary purpose of the development. Explanation: Many developments present practical opportunities for providing recreation 'facilities as an additional use of the site or facility. Therefore, whenever developments or re-developments are located adjacent to the shore, they should to the fullest extent permitted provide for some form of water-related recreation use unless there are compelling reasons why such recreation would not be compatible with the development, or a reasonable demand for public use cannot be foreseen. The types of development or re-development which can generally provide water-related recreation as a multiple use include the Sewage Treatment Plant, the Westchester Day School (treatment plants and schools in general), and any residential subdivisions of 25 units or more. With specific regard to the Sewage Treatment Plant, re-construction must take into consideration the potential for multiple use, given its location in a waterfront park. POLICY 23 Protect, enhance and restore structures, districts, areas or sites that are of significance in the history, architecture, archeology or culture of the State, its communities, or the Nation. Explanation Among the most valuable manmade resources are those structures or areas which are of historic, archeological, architectural or cultural significance. Protection of these structures or areas must involve a recognition of their importance by all local agencies and the ability to identify and describe them. The preservation of all such resources in the Village's coastal area is considered desirable, but preservation of historic: and cultural resources which have a coastal relationship are recognized as being of special importance. Fifty-four sites have been identified -as being of local historic, architectural, or cultural significance. (See pp. 18-20.) Special note is made of the Mamaroneck Project 61 Plant (Tower & Administation Building) - Sewage Treatment Plant - an important local landmark. The tower, which serves asl a navigational aid, has a special coastal relationship and therefore deserves all possible consideration. Identification of these 54 sites under this program is distinguished from formal designation b, the Village Board. Protection of all 54 sites is achieved through reference to SEQR. Stricter protection under the Historic Preservation Ordinance is reserved for sites designated by the Village Board (see Section II) and for sites on, or determined to be eligible for inclusion on, the National or State Historic Register. Protection under this Program shall mean that all practicable means shall be used to protect structuresy districts, and sites identified in this Program. "All practicable means" includes consideration and adoption of techniques to prevent significant adverse change to such sites, structures, and districts. A significant adverse change includes but is not limited to: 1. Alteration of or addition to one or more of the architectural, structural, ornamental or functional features of a building, structure or site that is a recognized historic, architectural, cultural or archeological resource, or component thereof; 2. Demolition or removal in full or part of a building, structure or earthworks that is a recognized Je- historic, cultural, or archeological resource of component thereof; 3. All proposed actions within 500 feet of the perimeter of the property boundary of the historict architectural, cultural, or archeological resource and all actions within an historic district that would be incompatible with the objective of preserving the quality and integrity of the resource. In addition, the Mamaroneck Harbor area has been designated as an archeologically sensitive area on the New York State Archeological Site Location Map. Prior to development which may affect these resources, full consideration should be given to their values and appropriate mitigating measures employed. Planning should be coordinated with appropriate County and State agencies. (See pages 16 and 18.) SCENIC QUALITY POLICIES: POLICY 24 Not applicable. POLICY 25 Prevent impairmpnt of scenic resources of statewide or local significance. ,@@xlanation: No scenic resources of statewide significance have been identified in the Village of Mamaroneck; however, Harbor Island Park is identified in this Program as being of 62 local significance. (See page 69 - Proposed Land Use Map.) It is a scenic resource when viewed from inland or from the water, and impairment should be prevented. Impairment includes: a. the irreversible modification of geological forms, the destruction or removal *of vegetation, the destruction or removal of structures, wherever the geological forms, vegetation or structures are significant to the scenic quality of an identified resource; b. the addition of structures which because of siting or scale will reduce identified views or which because of scale, form, or materials will diminish the scenic quality of an identified resource; and C. signs not in compliance with the local sign ordinance. (See summary of sign ordinance in Appendix to Section II.) POLICY 26 Not applicable. POLICY 27 Not included. POLICY 28 Not applicable. POLICY 29. Not included. WATER & AIR RESOURCES POLICIES: POLICY 30 Municipal, industrial, and commercial discharge of pollutants, including but' not limited to, toxic and hazardous substances, into coastal waters will conform to State and National water quality standards. Explanation Municipal, industrial, and commercial discharges include not only "end-of-pipe" discharges into surface, groundwater, and coastal waters, but also plant site runoff, leaching, spillages, sludge and other-waste disposal, and drainage 'from sites. Also, the regulated industrial discharges are both those which directly empty into receiving coastal waters and those which pass through treatment systems before reaching the streams, rivers, waterways, or coastal waters. This policy also applies to discharge of sewage into coastal waters; and therefore, it applies to the Sewage Treatment Plant. i Federal water quality standards should be met, without variance, in order to protect coastal water quality. POLICY 31 State coastal area policies and the purposes of this local program, if approved, will be considered while modifying water quality standards; however those waters already overburdened with contaminants will be recognized as being a development constraint. 63 Explanation Pursuant to the Federal Clean Water Act of 1977, the State has classified its coastal and other waters in accordance with considerations of best usage in the interest of the public and. has adopted water quality standards for ' each class of waters. These classifications and standards are reviewable at least every three years for possible revision or amendment. Local and State coastal management policies shall be factored into the review process for coastal waters., However, such consideration -ement shall not affect any water pollution control-requii. established by the State pursuant to the Federal Clean Water Act. The land and water uses proposed in this Program are consistent with this policy, and the water quality classifications are appropriate for the uses proposed. POLICY 32 Not applicable. POLICY 33 Best management practices will be used to ensure the control of stormwater runoff and combined sewer overflows draining into coastal waters. (See Policies 11, 12, 14, and 37.) Explanation Best management practices include both structural and nonstructural methods of preventing or mitigating these problems which degrade' coastal water quality. Combined sewer overflows result from combined and infiltrated sewer lines bringing into the Sewage Treatment Plant more wastewater than it can handle. To prevent back-up' of sewage into homes and onto streets, the wastewater is diverted from the Plant and discharged directly into the East Basin of Mamaroneck Harbor. Located at the bottom of a watershed which is topographically vulnerable to flash-flooding, Mamaroneck is subject to recurrent riverine flooding, sewage- overflows, and steady sedimenation of the harbor. All practicable measures should be taken to mitigate these problems. Structural methods include flood control projects (federal or other) which increase the carrying capacity of rivers and possible relocation of storm sewers. Nonstructural methods include best management practices and watershed management planning on a regional basis. Best management practices, as determined both by Westchester County and the Village of Mamaroneck, include A policy that new development or construction should provide adequate stormwater runoff retention facilities so that peak rates of discharge are not increased beyond predevelopment or preconstruction levels. This is referred to as the "zero incease" policy. Until watershed ' management planning can be accomplished and implemented on*,a regional basis, the zero increase policy is the most effective nonstructural method for protecting @coastal waters in accordance with the intent and purposes of this Policy. POLICY 34 64 Discharge of waste materials from vessels into coastal .waters will be limited so as to protect significant fish and wildlife habitats, recreational areas and water supply areas. Explanation This discharge of sewage, garbage, rubbish, and other solid and liquid materials into Mamaroneck Harbot or the waters within its coastal jurisdiction is regulated by federal and state laws. Priority will be given to enforcement of this policy in areas proximate to tidal wetlands, significant fish and wildlife habitats, and beach facilities. Facilities for pumping out of marine sanitation devices are promoted and encouraged at any publicr commercial, or quasi-public (club) marine facility in Mamaroneck Harbor; and will be required at new marinas. POLICY 35 Dredging and dredge spoil disposal in coastal waters will be undertaken in a manner that meets existing State and Federal dredging permit requirements, and protects significant: fish and wildlife habitats, scenic resources, natural protective features, important agricultural lands, and wetlands. Explanation Dredging is essential for waterfront revitalizationi, development and maintenance of adequate water depths in Mamaroneck Harbor as well as for meeting other coastal management needs of the Village's waterfront. Dredging projects, however may adversely affect water quality, fish and wildlife habitats, wetlands, beach facilities, and other important coastal resources. Through careful timing which is based on environmental considerations and on design of the dredging operation,it is often possible to mitigate these potential adverse effects. Dredging will be done in accordance with applicable existing State and Federal regulations. POLICY 36 Activites related to the shipment and storage of petroleum and other hazardous materials will be conducted in a manner that will prevent or-at least minimize spills into coastal waters; all practicable efforts will be undertaken to expedite the cleanup of such discharges; and restitution for damages will be required when these spills occur. Explanation: In addition to coastal waters, this policy -also includes the rivers which drain into the coastal waters of the Village. (See Policy 8.) The rivers which empty into Mamaroneck Harbor are subject to accidental and intentional dumping of petroleum products and other hazardous materials. Hazardous materials includes toxic chemicals and nuclear wastes being transported overland. These activities are regulated by federal and state laws, and it is desirable that this policy be implemented thoroughly. POLICY 37 Best management practices will be utilized to minimize the 65 nonpoint discharge of excess nutrients, organics, and eroded soils into coastal waters. Explanation: The coastal waters of the Village are subject to steady -sedimentation from soils eroded into the rivers which empty into Mamaroneck Harbor as well as pollution by coliform bacteria carried in, stormwater runoff. All possible measures should be taken to mitigate these problems. Best Management Practices are identified by Westchester County. Best management practices used to reduce nonpoint sources of pollution and erosion include but are not limited to organic pest 'management principles where feasible (particularly with regard to mosquito control in tidal wetlands), soil erosion control practices, and surface drainage control techniques. (See Policies 8, 12, 17, and 33.) POLICY 38 The quality and quantity of surface water and groundwater supplies will be conserved and protected, particularly where such waters constitute the primary or sole source of water supply. Explanation: A few private wells exist in the Village,. and for this reason the quality and quantity of groundwater supplies should be protected. POLICY 39 The transport, storage, treatment and disposal of solid wastes, particularly hazardous wastes, within coastal areas will be conducted in such a manner so as to protect groundwater and surface water supplies, significant fish and wildlife habitats, recreation areas, important agricultural land and scenic resources. Explanation:. Generally, solid wastes include slud ges from air' or water pollution control facilities, demolition and construction debris and industrial and commercial wastes and nuclear waste. In the Village, solid waste also includes the wastes composted in the compost site on Taylor's Lane. Since this site is presently connected to Magid Pond and thence to the Otter Creek Salt Marsh--both important wetlands of state-wide significance--the compost area has the potential to impact those wetlands through subsurface contaminaton if hazardous wastes were to be placed there. In addition, solid waste also includes wastes collected at garbage compacting and transfer stations, especially if these are located adjacent to the rivers which empty into coastal waters. Coastal waters, recreation facilities, and wetlands can be impacted by pollutant-carrying runoff from such sites; and they can also be impacted by spillage into the rivers of wastes being transported on Interstate 95. POLICY 40 Not applicable. POLICY 41 Not included. 66 POLICY 42 Not included. POLICY 43 'Not included. POLICY 44 Preserve and protect tidal and freshwater wetlands and preserve the benefits derived from these areas. Explanation: Tidal wetlands include the following ecological zones: coastal fresh marsh; intertidal marsh; coastal shoals, bars and flats; littoral zone; high marsh or salt meadow; and formerly connected tidal wetlands. These tidal wetland areas are officially delineated on the I)ept. of Environmental Conservation's Tidal Wetlands Inventory Map and are also identified on the coastal resources map entitled "Natural Resources Inventory" (see page 17). Most notable tidal wetlands in the Village are in the areas of Otter Creek and Guion Creek. Freshwater wetlands include marshes, swamps, bogs, and flats supporting aquatic and semi-aquatic vegetation and other wetlands so defined in the New York State Freshwater Wetlands Act and the New York Protection of Waters Act. There is one State-identified freshwater wetland in the Village--Magid Pond. Although too small to meet standard criteria, Magid Pond was identified because of its special State-wide significance. It is a Class I (most important) wetland. The benefits derived from the preservation of tidal and freshwater wetlands include but are not limited to: a. habitat for wildlife and fish, including a substantial portion of the State's commercial fin and shellfish varieties; and contribution to associated aquatic food chains; b. erosion, flood and storm control; C. natural pollution treatment; d. groundwater protection; e. recreational opprotunities; f. educational and scientific opportunities; and 9- aesthetic open space in many otherwise densely developed areas. The Village's tidal and freshwater wetlands will be preserved and protected to the maximum extent possible.

(See Zoning Map at end of this section.) Public Access Plan: A public access plan has been developed to implement state and local policies, especially Policies #1, 2, 4, 6, 9, 10, 19, 20, 21, and 22. As an integral part of the Public Access Plan, a marine zone is proposed for the waterfront area of the Village for the prinicpal purposes of facilitating water-dependent uses, strengthening the economic base of the Village by encouraging the water-related recreation for which our harbor is justly famous and the marine business activities generated by such recreational use, and ensuring public access to coastal resources. The existing balance of land uses on the Village's coast is desirable because of the level of water-dependent uses and public access. The Village's waterfront is a precious asset which is not indestructable--indeed it is fragile. The public access plan, and the marine zone, are necessary to enhance the character of the Village and preserve the harmonious use of the Village's coastal land. It is recommended that the Village Board amend the Zoning Ordinance in order to achieve these above-stated purposes. While it is essential to the preservation of the Village's coastal assets that the above-identified goals be achieved through appropriate amendment to the zoning ordinance, the precise wording which appears in the Implementation Section is intended to.serve as a guideline. In addition, it should be noted that the zoning changes proposed are intended to be the minimum necessary to achieve the purpose. In conjunction with the amendment of the zoning ordinance as herein described, the Ordinance should also be reviewed by the Vilage Board to identify any potential inconsistencies. 1. Amend the Zoning Ordinance of the Village of Mamaroneck to create a Marine Zone. In order to identify and preserve a desirable balance of coastal land uses, this Marine Zone would include the entire' coastline of the Village and would extend from the Village waterside limits (mean high tide mark)', but also including any underwater land grants, to the back of the first lot or lots currently owned by the same owner and put to the same use, with the single exception that in the area of the.East Boston Post Road comercial waterfront for the purpose of allowing for potential marine business expansion, the Marine Zone shall extend all the way to the East Boston Post Road and 71 prior-existing non-marine uses shall be "grandfathered"--per attached map and description. Included in this Zone would be five types of zoning districts: residential, public, maine-commercial one, marine-commercial two, and club. Amendments to accomplish this task would include the following elements: a. Residential District --This district (divided into three sub-groups of R-10, R-15, and R-20 as identified on accompanying map) would include the waterfront property deemed to be most-appropriate for residential use with the varying densities as identified. Ninety-eight percent of the Village's waterfront is presently zoned for residential use. This new district would include only 76% of the waterfront, a reduction of 22%. This reduction is deemed to be suitable, and desirable for the purpose of achieving the goals identified above. It should be stressed that no existing residential uses would be made non-conforming under this proposal. No changes are proposed for the residential sub-groups because they are considered appropriate (and the present levels of density are deemed desirable) for the purpose of achieving a desirable balance of uses and densities on the coast. The other districts presently zoned residential which are to be included in the proposed Marine Zone are as follows: b.. Public District --It is proposed that the residential district on Harbor Island be re-zoned to a Public District. The district would include all publicly-owned land on Harbor Island (entranceway, park, and treatment plant). The bulk of this property is zoned for residential use. This is clearly inappropriate. The park cannot be put to residential use except by an act of the State legislature; and the Village, by-its action of dedicating the land as park, demonstrated its finding that residential use was not desirable. In addition, the entranceway property is unsuited for residential use by the nature of its bize and location. No specific regulations are proposed for this district since public property may be put to whatever public purpose the municipality deems appropriate with the exception that dedicated parkland may be put only to public recreational purposes. Therefore no additional regulations could legally apply nor would any be necessary to safeguard the general public interest. Because of the very important contribution which Harbor Island makes to the character of the Village, because the land in question cannot be put to residential use, and because one purpose of the Marine Zone is to recognize existing -suitable uses, it is deemed highly appropriate that this property be designated as Public. 72 C. Club District --It is proposed that the residential districts which are presently put to club uses, as well as the commercial district presently put to club use, should be rezoned. There is currently no zoning classification in the ordinance which is designed specifically for club use. Clubs are presently a permitted use in both residential and commercial districts. However, they are a use which is subject to sometimes prohibitive additional standards and requirements beyond those required for other uses permitted in those districts. Clubs are presently considered to possess "such unique and distinct form that each spec--fic use shall be considered an individual case." They are identified as 11special exceptions" which must comply with more stringent procedures than other permitted uses. It is proposed that these additinal standards and requirements are an undesirable constraint which should be lifted. The lifting of those constaints follows from a recognition that clubs are an important asset to the community not only because of their open space and aesthetic values, but are also desirable for the level of quasi-public access which they provide to the waterfront as well as the significant economic function they fulfill by providing year-round employment and bringing people into the community for water and social recreation who may then also contribute to the local business economy. d. Marine-Commercial I and Marine-Commercial II --It is proposed that the residential districts and commercial districts presently put to commercial marine uses be re-zoned to reflect current use. There are currently no zoning classificaions in the ordinance which permit boatyard use. All six of the existing boatyards operate as non-conforming uses. Non-conforming uses are severely restricted in the use of their property. Non-conforming uses may not be expanded or even moved from one portion of the lot to another, portion of the same lot, nor may buildings be altered in any way. These boatyards have been found to make an extremely important contribution to the desirable character of the Village as well as to the strength of the local business economy; and they provide a high level of public access to waterfront recreation, including essential support services. The years have prospered in Mamaroneck for a long period of time; and one property has been devoted to continuous boatyard use for more than 120 years. The fact that the six boatyards are all non-conforming uses is a striking example of inappropriate zoning. The commercial marine uses are identified as non-cumulative and are divided into two districts on the basis of their differing topography, character of the area, and street-side access. one district is situated on a steep hillside on the Boston Post Road (Route 1), a busy 73 (four-lane) commercial artery contiguous to the Village's Central Business District. The other district is situated on flat terrain along Rushmore Avenue (a two-lane) street which passes through a mixture of boatyard, club, and residential uses. Many large cities have required that when new development occurs on the waterfront, a strip of property should be set aside to allow the public passive enjoyment of waterfront scenic vistas. Given the abundant opportunity for passive enjoyment afforded by Harbor Island Park, there appears to be no need for this type of overlay zoning in Mamaroneck. Active enjoyment of water-related recreation is the issue to addressed in Mamaroneck since harbor activities, and the upland uses which 'Make them possible, are central to the character of the community. In order to determine what uses should be permitted in the proposed districts, a study was conducted of waterfront zoning regulations. This study included evaluation of zoning ordinances from other municipalities, a planning report from Malcolm Pirnie, Inc., and reports from three different groups of affected property owners. Property-owner proposals: a. Beach Point Club --Lift "Special Exception" restrictions on all clubs, list permitted accessory uses, specify what level of construction activity should require site plan review, amend parking requirements to permit overflow parking on grassed areas of a club property, permit seasonal residences for members. b. Mamaroneck Beach, Cabana & Yacht Club --Rezone their property from R-20 to R-10. Grandfather club uses as conforming uses, permit expansion, condominiumization of boat slips, etc. under site plan approval. Permit as "Special Permit" uses condominiums at 4 to 5.5 per acre * in association with continued club use; and permit restaurants as a "Special Permit" use. .(* Drawings accompanying this proposal show 25 condos on 2 acres or 11 single family homes on 3.7 acres.) Plans described as hypothetical. C. East Post Road Yachtyards (McMichael Yacht Sales; Robert Derecktor, Inc.; Post Road Boatyard; R.G. Brewer Marine Hardware; Orien@ta Yacht Club) --Describes the East Post Road district as unique on the entire waterfront due to its topography. From road level, the land drops off sharply to the water with a difference in elevation between the road and sea level ranging from approximately 23.45' to 53.231. Proposes a concept of tiering based on different uses being permitted in accordance with a schedule of percentages which relate 'certain permitted uses to certain percentages of lot coverage. Proposal would encourage 74 expansion of both marine and non-marine uses in a carefully defined ratio. d. Nichols Yacht Yard --Rezone their property from R-15 to R-10. Grandfather boatyard uses as conforming uses, permit expansion, condominiumization of boat slips, etc. under site plan approval. Permit as "special Permit" uses condominiums at 4 per acre * and restaurants. Drawings accompanying this proposal show 31 condos on 4.3+ acres or 23 condos with restaurant on 4.57+ acres or 14 single family homes on 4.3+ acres.) Plans described as hypothetical. Eleven zoning ordinances and the Malcolm Pirnie Report were reviewed to determine the range of uses considered potentially desirable for waterfront locations in other communities,. as well as the degree to which recreation is promoted through zoning. The town of Greenwich ordinance, if applied to Mamaroneck, would permit on the waterfront almost as many uses as are presently distributed throughout the entire village. The study results demonstrated that each community has a different idea of what promotes the general welfare. Stonington, for example, permits boat repair in a marine Commercial District but makes marinas a "Special Permit" use in that same district. Some communities encourage restaurants on 'Cheir waterfronts; other expressly prohibit them. In Norwalk, waterfront clubs are all "Special Permit" uses. Each community designed its ordinance to fit its own special conditions and concept of desirable waterfront uses. In order to address the New York State Coastal Management Polices, evaluation of the reports and ordinances was based on the followinq criteria: a. the degree to which they were conisistent with the planning recommendations in the Phase One Report; b. the degree to which they promoted. the traditional uses of our harbor and the economic health of the local business economy; C. the degree to which they were consistent with the goals of: W achieving a stable, desirable balance of land uses on the coast; (ii) ensuring public access to Long Island Sound for the purpose of active water-dependent recreation; (iii) facilitating the siting of water-dependent uses on the coastline; and d. the degree to which they would promote the general public health, safety, and welfare. 75 An issue of some concern has been the question of conforming versus non-conforming uses. At present, many water-related recreation uses are either non-conforming or restricted by "Special Exception" provisions. Action to remedy this should be taken so that desirable uses are recognized in the Zoning ordinance. A related issue concerns the treatment of existing non-marine uses in the proposed Marine Zone. The issue is a difficult one, particularly in the area of the East Boston Post Road, where four non-marine uses exist (two restaurants, a gas station, and the Elks Club). Various ways were considered which would allow for expansion of marine uses while not making the present non-marine uses become non-conforming uses. These included simply excluding them from the marine zone (but this would make difficult any future expansion of marine uses), placing them under OfSpecial Exception" restrictions (this was rejected as being inconsistent with overall goals), making them non-conforming uses (this was rejected as inconsistent with procedural goals), or grandfathering them. Grandfathering is recommended as the most acceptable method. Consideration was given to grandfathering the Orienta Yacht Club in the proposed MC-2 District. This would have the advantage of allowing future growth for commercial marine businesses and inceasing public access to the waterfront. Such action would capitalize on a potential for increasing public access in accordance with Policy 19 and would represent a rare opportunity for doing so in a manner entirely consistent with the surrounding commercial enterprises. However, this might constitute unequal treatment of uses within a club district since in the marine zone districts are defined on a generic basis according to present usage. In conclusion, local conditions were inventoried, alternatives were considered, the relevant coastal management policies were addressed, and the conclusion has been reached that the vitality of water-dependent uses rests upon the use made of upland areas. Appropriate use of upland areas is essential to the achievement of the policy goals identified in this Program. Public access and water-dependent use of the coast will be diminished if uplands currently developed for water-dependent and recreational uses are redeveloped for non-waterdependent uses. Associated Projects: 1. In conjunction with enactment of proposed zoning amendments, it is recommended that tax incentives be provided to marine businesses heretofore zoned non-conforming. The purpose of these incentives would be to encourage the kind of expansion and/or renovation which has 76 . . . . . . . . . . . . V (2 .'Y" > L qA f - - - - - - - - - - ...................

While such tax incentives are consistent with, and suggested in, the State Coastal Management Program, State legislation may be needed in order to enable villages to implement of such incentives. 2. "Chandlery Row:" In order to intensity the maritime identity of the East Boston Post Road marine commercial area, a public relations campaign is recommended, to center around a concept of the area as a kind of "Chandlery Row." The Village should encourage a coordinated effort between the Chamber of Commerce, a representative group from the marine community and interested businesses to develop a program which encourages marine-related retail business to locate in this area. 3. The unique maritime identity of the Village is more widely recognized outside the community than by Mamaroneck itself. This results in an unfortunate loss of opportunity. Exhibitions, seminars, lectures, and waterfront festivals, etc. designed to incease public awareness of our maritime identity should be supported. 4. Per Policy 1, the Village-owned property and dock at the entranceway to Harbor Island Park should be restored, revitalized, and redeveloped to a water-dependent use which is compatible with surrounding uses and which utilizes the potential of the existing dock. Future study of this area should be accomplished in order to implement this policy. Watershed Management Plan: The purpose of the Watershed Management Plan is to address the combined problem of riverine flooding, sewage overflows, and harbor sedimentationt and to implement the flooding and erosion policies as well as the appropriate water & air resources policies in Section III. In order that land use along the tributaries in the Village not aggrevate our flooding, siltation, and sewage problems, specific amendments are proposed for local flood regulations which adopted County policies and guidelines. These amendments are set forth in Section V. Associated Project: As discussed in the Inventory & Analysis Section, the major cause of these combined problems is cumulative runoff from upstream development which is accomplished without attention to an overall watershed management plan. Federal floodplain management criteria call for overall drainage basin planning. Effective flood control measures must be based on study not of the particular neighborhood, village or town, but on the georgraphical watershed since the watershed is the inflexible natural basis of surface water flow and flooding problems within a watershed are interrelated. However, in Westchester, where the County's role is limited by State law and where drainage basins cross a multitude of municipal boundaries, overall coordinated planning has not yet been achieved. Until such time as an enforceable watershed plan has been developed for the drainage basins which drain through Mamaroneck, this Watershed Management Plan endorses the Westchester County policy that when land is developed, postdevelopment peak rates of stormwater discharge should not exceed predevelopment levels. It is proposed that the Village promote intermunicipal cooperation with neighboring Sound Shore communities, as well as with upstream communities in seeking a mechanism whereby drainage basin plans can be prepared and implemented. Floodprone communities should be encouraged to seek legislative action from the State to provide partial funding for the development of drainage basin plans,,permit a larger role for County government, and amend existing law to permit the equitable establishment of drainage districts.. Natural Resource Protection Plan: This plan recommends amendments to several local laws to formally recognize a number of environmentally significant areas, to ensure that impacts on environmentally significant areas are adequately addressed as part of the SEQR process prior to undertaking potential actions, and to minimize, for wetland areas, some of the adverse environmental impacts which may potentially result from adjacent high density (plannedresidential) development. Associated Proj6ct: Review of the Village's program for mosquito control is -warranted both by continuing resident dissatisfaction and by concern for protecting wetlands and significant fish and wildlife habitats from toxic residues. Recent experience with the use of biological controls applied to mosquitos in the larval stage indicates that this may be both more effective and less environmentally harmful that aerial spraying of pesticides. A pilot program to test the use of B.T.I. should be established. This program should be coordinated with the Westchester County Dept. of Health and the New York State Dept. of Environmental Conservation. Both funding and technical assistance would be required for this project. Harbor Management Plan: In order to promote boating recreation and ensure safe vessel usage, the Village promulgates regulations concerning marine structures, moorings, use of municipal facilities, 79 and safe operation of watercraft through the harbor. Attention is given to the need to provide for continued harbor maintenance--including dredge, maintenance, harbor upkeep, and planning to meet present and future boating demand, as well as appropriate location of fairways, channels, and anchorages, and the development of standards for marine structures. Specific areas of the harbor are designated for particular uses in order to improve harbor safety; drysail vessels are to be registered and encouraged; a capital fund is to be established for harbor maintenance; and the Harbor Commission mandate should be updated. Specific proposals are found in Section V. Associated Project: A formal Harbor Management Plan should be prepared which meets present and future needs of Mamaroneck Harbor and is consistent with Army Corps of Engineers guidelines. As part of this plan, a feasibility study should be done to evaluate the potential for expanding municipal boating facilities. Both Technical assistance and funding would be required for this project. 80 7, 1 Q> Z. 0 0 'A N@ 00 S Olt AV 0 ov - o x i -F R- x Rzo 0;1\ lop 7 Lai k- Z6 \41 0@ -7 .4f 9L t Ob m 01 Ile STRUCTURES ARE SHOWN ON THIS MAP RMATION ONLY FOR INFO '40 IV IT 15 HEREBY CERTIFIED THAT THIS MAP IS THE 0)?

Local Laws and Regulations Necessary to Implement the Local Waterfront Revitalization Program: 1. Existing local laws and regulations a. Zoning Ordinance of the Village of Mamaroneck --Regulates land use in the coastal zone and, if amended, is an appropriate means for *implementing coastal managament policies concerned with development, public access, and recreation. b. Local Law No. 10-1977 (adopting the State Environmental Quality Review Act)--Provides -for review of development projects in sensitive areas of the coastal zone and is an appropriate means for ensuring the local agency actions are consistent with all coastal management policies. C. Local Law No. 15-1980 (C.E.A. designations) --Amends Local SEQR to designate certain areas as Critical Environmental Areas and, if further amended,. is an appropriate means for protecting environmental values in highly sensitive locations of the coastal zone in accordance with fish and wildlife policies, wetland protection policies, water and air resource policies, and flood policies. d. Local Law No. 3-1977 (Freshwater Wetlands) --Regulates development in or adjacent to freshwater wetlands and is appropriate for implementing fish and wildlife policies, wetland policies, water and air resource policies, and flood policies. e. Local Law No. 18-1977 (A Flood Damage Prevention Program)- -Regulates development in floodplains and, if amended, is appropriate for implementing flood and erosion hazard policies, and water and air resources policies. f. Local Law 7-1979 ("Ten-acre Zoning Law")--Regulates land use contiguous to wetlands and, if amended, is appropriate for implementing fish and wildlife policies and wetland policies. 9- Local Law 9-1982 (Historic Preservation Ordinance/ Landmarks Advisory Committee) --Creates a Landmarks Advisory Committee and protects sites of historic,- architectural,. archeological, or cultural significance if designated by the Village Board. With regard to certain recreation policies, this ordinance adds another level of protection to that which is achieved through the use of 84 h. Local Law No. 10-1982 (Coastal Zone Management Commission)- Provides for a permanent Coastal Zone Management Commission and, if amended to authorize consistency reviews, would establish an appropriate management mechanism to be used in conjunction with an amended SEQR. i. Chapter 9 of the Unified Code of Ordinances (Harbor Commission)- Establishes a Harbor Commission and, if amended, would serve to better implement certain of the development, recreation, public access, and water resources policies. j. Chapter 9 of the Unified Code of Ordinances of the Village of Mamaroneck- "Harbor and Watercraft." This ordinance regulates harbor activities and should be amended to better provide for the safe passage of vessels in accordance with recreation, public access, and water resources policies. 2. Proposed Amendments: a. Zoning (Public Access Plan) The following amendments recognize the unique characteristics of the waterfront of the Village of Mamaroneck and encourage a type and scale of development which can protect our important resources while promoting the continued economic health of the community. 85 PROPOSED DRAFT LOCAL LAW NO. 1984 A local law amending the.Zoning ordinance and Zoning Map of the Village of Mamaroneck by establishing a Marine Zone and designating certain areas of the Village as Residential, Public, Club, Marine-commercial 1, and Marine-commercial 2. 1.

Parkin!1 spaces need not be lined but must be reasonablyapparent. minimum widths as required by local ordinance shall be observed. 9. Amend Section 438 "Improvement of Parking Facilities" as follows (underlining indicates changed or added wording): "438. Improvements of Parking Facilities --Required off-street parking facilities may be enclosed in a structure or may be open, except as required specifically for multi-family dwellings, provided that all required parking facilities shall be graded, surfaced, drained, and sitably maintained to the satisfaction of the Village Engineer to the extent necessary to avoid nuisances of dust, erosion, or excessive water flow across public ways or adjacent lands. In multi-family residential development and in non-residential development, the Village Engineer shall require the provision of suitable markings to indicate individual parking spacesr maneuvering area, entrances and exits. Upon a finding by the Planning Board that the immediate need for parking spaces is substantialy less than 90 the total required by Section 434, the Board may temporarily waive the paving of up to one-half of the required spaces, provided the applicant gives assurance satisfactory to the Village Attorney, that he will pave sufficient additional spaces whenever the Planning Board makes a subsequent finding that the parking of cars connected with or visiting, the use takes place on adjacant streets consistently, and notifies the applicant of the additonal paving required. To min imize the drainage and aesthetic impact of excess pavement, seasonal or temporary overflow parking on club properti2s shall be permitted on grassed areas." 10. Amend Section 512 as follows (underlining indicates changed or added wording): "512. Except as set forth in Section 512.1 below, site development plan approval..." 11. Insert an additional section to be designated Section 512.1 which would establish site development plan approval requirements for the CB Club Districts and the MC Marine Commercial districts only for: a. The erection or enlargement of any building involving new construction in excess-of 2,500 square feet; and b. The construction of a new swimming pool, tennis court or other similar type of recreation facility." 40 12. Insert an additional section to be designated 512.2 to read as follows: "512.2 In action on the approval of a site development plan for a club in a CB District or for a boatyard in a MC Marine Commercial District, the Planning Board shall balance the objectives set forth in Section 515.5 with the overriding considerations of encouraging, preserving and protecting club and boatyard uses in the Village's Marine Zone." 91 M N 1k) "7 .................................

Flood Damage Prevention Ordinance (Watershed Management Plan) The following legislative actions are proposed: (1) Westchester County's Model Ordinance for Flood, Erosion, and Sediment Control should be adopted and expanded to include those portions of the Village of Mamaroneck Flood Damage Prevention Ordinance which are already stricter than the County model ordinance. Such action would add to Village regulations by providing for (a) formal adoption of the Best Management Practices; (b) a contract with the Soil and Water Conservation District for .review of large development projects; (c) notification of communities likely to be affected by a project. (2) The ordinance should be expanded to make explicit the Best Management Practices policy of "zero increase." (See Policy 33, page 57.); (3) Findings of* Fact should reflect the fact that flood losses are caused by the cumulative impact of Watershed runoff, as well as by the cumulative obstructions in flood plains (see Village flood ordinance Sec. l.'20(2)). (4) Applications for development should be required to contain information regarding the anticipated net change in discharge rates after construction (all storm levels). (See Village flood ordinance Sec. 4.10.) (5) Applications for development in the flood plain should require certification. (See Village flood ordinance Sec. 4.31(3).) C. Environmental Laws (Natural Resources Protection Plan) Mamaroneck has a number of valuable wetlands, significant fish and wildlife habitats, open spaces, and sensitive drainage areas which are deserving of protection or preservation. Amendments to several local laws are recommended in order to implement the fish and wildlife policy, the wet.1and policies and certain of the recreation and water resource policies. The following amendments are proposed. (1) Local Law 15-1980 (designating Critical Environmental Areas) should be amended to designate the Hampshire Country Club and that portion of the Hommocks Conservation Area which is located in the Village of Mamaroneck. The Hampshire Country Club golf course is a highly sensitive drainage area with the potential for impacting the Hommocks Marsh and coastal waters. The Hommocks Conservation Area is a significant habitat. CEA designation would encourage more careful review of proposed 93 actions in or continguous to these two areas. (2) Local Law 7-1979 ("10-Acre Zoning Law") should be amended, in conjunction with amendment of Sec. 423.13b of the Zoning Ordinance , to limit the amount of wetland which can be included for purposes of reaching the minimum parcel size. The minimum size of a parcel eligible for Planned Residential Development is 10 acres, and the both the law and ordinance should be amended to specify that no more than 30% can be tidal or freshwater wetlands. At the present time, this law theatens environmental values by encouraging high density development directly adjacent to the Village's fragile wetlands. At the present time, the larger the proportion of wetland to buildable lot, the higher the density which is permitted to occur on that buildable lot. Without amendment, this law impedes implementation of fish and wildlife policies, wetland policies, and certain water resource policies. (3) Local Law 10-1977. This law adopts the State Environmental Quality Review Act. it is recommended that this law be amended to mandate the preparation of an environmental impact statement for major actions located directly in a Critical Environmental Area. d. fh2pter Nine of the Unified Code of Ordinances- "Harbor and Watercraft." This law regulates the safe passage of vessels in Mamaroneck Harbor. It is recommended that it be amended to designate particular harbor areas for particular uses, as follows: W Water-skiing --prohibited in both the inner and outer harbor except for sanctioned and regulated shows or events. (ii) Wind-surfing --prohibited in the inner harbor and encouraged in the outer harbor. (iii) Scuba Diving (recreational only) --prohibited in the inner harbor and encouraged in the outer harbor. (iv) Lobstering --restricted to specifically designated areas in the outer harbor only. (Note: lobster pots prohibited in channel.) Restrictions to be coordinated with the N.Y. Dept. of Environmental Conservation. (v) Drysailing --encouraged at commercial facilities. Boats drysailed from commercial facilities should be registered and subject to an appropriate fee. d. Local Law Establishing a Harbor Commission (Harbor Management Plan) A new law providing for a restructured Harbor Commission is recommended in order to better implement certain of the development, recreation, public access, and water resources policies. The following law is proposed: 94 PROPOSED LOCAL LAW RE-ESTABLISHING THE HARBOR COMMISSION: There is hereby re-established a Harbor Commission for the Village of Mamaroneck. This law repeals and supersedes Section 35 of Chapter 9 effective 5/22/72 entitled "Establishment of Harbor Commission." Section 1. APPOINTMENT OF HARBOR COMMISSION. The Harbor Commission of the Village of Mamaroneck shall consist of nine (9) members who shall be residents of the Village and who shall be appointed by the Board of Trustees of the Village of Mamaroneck for staggering terms of four years each. The members, of the Harbor Commission shall serve without compensation but shall be entitled to reimbursement for any moneys expended in the performance of their duties. The Commission shall annually -elect, and from its own members, a chairman and vice chairman. Any vacancy on the Commission shall be filled for the unexpired term in the same manner in which the original appointment was made. In addition to the regular nine members, there shall also be five non-voting ex-officio members as follows: Harbor Master, Chairman of the Parks and Recreation Commission, Chairman of the 'Coastal Zone Management Commision, Police Chief, Fire Chief; and such non-paid consultants-as the Commission may from time to time appoint. Section 2. DEFINITION. As used herein, the word "harbor" shall mean and include all navigable waters, inlets, bays and coves within the limits of the Village of Mamaroneck and for a distance' of 1,500 feet offshore from the Village boundary, except the waters within the territorial jurisdiction of the City of Rye. Section 3. POWERS AND DUTIES OF THE HARBOR COMMISSION. The Commission shall have the following powers and duties: (a) To consult with and advise the Board of Trustees on all matters relating to the Harbor, including but not limited to: (1) the operation of watercraft in the Harbor; (2) the construction of marine structures and dredging in the Harbor; (3) the mooring of vessels in the Harbor; (4) pollution in the Harbor; (5) the ecology of the Harbor; (6) all recreational activities in the Harbor; 95 b) To recommend to the Board of Trustees long-range plans relating to the Harbor. (c) To recommend to the Board of Trustees adoption or amendment of ordinances and the taking of other official or unofficial action relating to the Harbor. (d) In the cases of all applications made by any person to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers or the New York State Dept.- of Environmental Conservation, to recommend whether the Village should support or oppose such application and, upon authorization, to present statements and take other action on behalf of the Village in supporting or opposing such application.. (e) To consult and advise with the Chief of Police on matters relating to the police patrol of the Harbor. M To consult and advise with the Parks and Recreation Commission and with the Coastal Zone Management Commission on all matters of joint interest. (g) To review all applications for marine structures and, prior to the issuance of permits, make recommendations to the permitting agency or person (Board of Appeals, Planning Board, Building Inspector). The purpose of such review shall be to evaluate proposed marine structures as to size, location, and construction in order to verify that there is no impingement on the rights of others for the use of navigable waters, and that the structures are suitable and appropriate for their intended use. , (h) To maintain liaison and consult and advise with appropriate Federal,- State and County officials on matters relating to the Harbor. W To submit to the Board of Trustees an Annual Report of the,Commission's activities. Section 4. MEETING OF THE COMMISSION. The Commission shall regularly meet once each month at a time and place set by said Commission for its regular meeting. A quorum shall consist of five (5) members. The Chairman, Vice Chairman or any, three members of the Commission may call a speciai meeting of said Commission for such purposes as are designated in said call. Notice of said special meeting shall be given in writing to all members and to the Harbor Master 48 hours in advance of said special meeting. The Village Clerk shall be responsible for.giving notice of all regular and special meetings of the Commission. 96 e. Local Law 10-1977 (Local SEQR). This law should be amended to ensure consistency --to the maximum extent practicable-- with the policies adopted for management of the coastal zone. It is recommended that the law be amended to reflect the following: --The "Coastal Zone" of the Village is defined as all those lands and waters within the village of Mamaroneck legal jurisdiction (including Mamaroneck Harbor, a portion of Larchmont Harbor, and the offshore waters up to the 1,500 foot jurisdictional limit referred to in the New York State Navigation Law). --Provide that as early as possible in a lead agency's review of a pending application that the lead agaency do the following: a. if the action is either a Type 1 or unlisted, determine if the action is consistent with the Local Waterfront Revitalization Program. In reaching this determination, a recommendation will be sought from the Coastal Zone Management Commission. b. if the action is not a Type 1 nor an unlisted action, then the lead agency shall cause the applicant to certify that the action is consistent with the Local Waterfront Revitalization Program and will not substantially hinder the achievement of any of the policies and purposes of the LWRP and whenever practicable will advance one of more of such policies. --Provide that local agency actions are consistent, to the maximum extent practicable, with the Local Waterfront Revitalization Program, whose intent is to achieve a balance between the protection of natural resources and the need to accommodate social and economic considerations. Provide that, when required, a draft EIS together with notice of completion be filed with the Secretary of State as well as with other involved agencies. --With regard to the preparation and content of EIS's, provide that the body of the draft and final EIS's shall contain an identification of the app licable policies of the Local Waterfront Revialization Program and a discussion of the effects of the proposed action.on such policies. f. Local Law 10-1982 (creating a permanent Coastal Zone Management Commission). This law should be amended to authorize the Commission to review proposed actions and provide recommendatons regarding consistency to the appropriate agency. . Proposed actions include federal-, state, and local actions --whether these are direct agency actions, or actions connected with funding, or actions connected with the granting of permits and regulation of land use. 97 B. Other Public and Private Actions Necessary to Implement the Local Waterfront Revitalization Program. 1. Local Government Actions. a. Contract with the Westchester County Soil and Water Conservation District for review of permit applications before issuing any permits for activities involving excavations of greater than 5,000 cubic yards. This action should- be carried out as soon as practicable following adoption 'of the Model Ordinance for Flood, Erosion, and Sediment Control. b. Apply to the Dept. of State for implementation funding and technical assistance to complete a Harbor Management Plan. A harbor management plan is essential to better implement certain of the development, recreation, public access, and water resource policies. C. Apply to the Dept. of State for implementation funding for a pilot project to study the feasibility of B.T.I., a biological mosquito control,' as an alternative to aerial pesticide spraying. This action is necessary to better implement the wetland protection policies. d. Renew the request to the Town of Harrison that it designate its portion of the Mamaroneck Reservoir as a Critical Environmental Area because of its value as a reservoir for floodwaters. This request was originally made in 1980 and should be renewed in order to better protect the Village from flooding in accordance with the flooding and erosion hazard policies. e. Prepare a plan for providing tax incentives to marine businesses previously zoned non-conforming, and seek State enabling legislation if necessary. This action is recommended as a means to implement certain of the development and recreation policies. f. Encourage intermunicipal cooperation in drainage basin planning and.seek State enabling legislation to permit the equitable establishment of drainage districts and to provide at least partial funding for the preparation of intermunicipal watershed management plans. This activity is essential to implement flooding and erosion policies and water resources policies. 9- Establish a capital fund for long-term harbor maintenance in order to ensure proper maintenance of harbor facilities; including (in cooperation with Westchester County) dredge maintenance. This action would implement certain of the recreation, development, public access, and water resources policies and should be undertaken as soon as practicable upon adopton of the program. h. To ensure proper management of the,harbor and 9,8 promote marine interests both public and commercial, the Village should request that the federal anchorage and channels in the East Basin be redesignated by the.Federal government. This request has already been made. 2. Private Actions. "Chandlery Row" is a proposed public relations campaign. With local government encouragement and assistance, private business interests and the Chamber of Commerce could make a significant contribution to efforts to intensify the maritime identity of the Village and of the East Boston Post Road (which already is characterized as a central commercial marine area). Such a campaign could capitalize on the "working port" aspects of the harbor area to expand the business economy while at the same time enhancing the character of the community. C.. Management Structure 1. The Board of Trustees shall be the lead agency and, together with the Mayor of the Village of Mamaronecke are responsible for overall management and coordination of the Local Waterfront Revitalization Program. 2. Implementation of the Program is to be accomplished through the previously identified projects and amendments to local laws, together with the establishment of a review procedure whereby local permitting authorities (primarily the Board of Trustees, the Board of Appeals, and the Planning Board and the Building Inspector.) will take into consideration and make determinations regarding the consistency of proposed actions with the policies of the Program. Prior to such determinations being made by permitting authorities, proposed actions in the coastal zone will be referred to the Coastal Zone Management Commission for its review and comment and this comment will be considered by the permitting authorities when making determinations of consistency. 3. The local SEQR law, when amended, will require that local actions must be consistent to the maximum extent practicable with the policies of this Program.,- In this way, the coastal . management policies contained herein will receive maximum consideration prior to the granting of permits.. 4. State and Federal agencies identified in Section VI will notify the Mayor of the Village of Mamaroneck of proposed actions in or likely to affect thelcoastal zone. Such actions will be.subject to the same consistency review as provided by the Waterfront and Coastal Resources Act, the Federal Coastal Zone Management Act, and their implementing regulations. 99 D. Financial Resources 1. Two -projects are proposed which will require funding. These are the completion of the harbor management plan and the undertaking of a pilot project to explore feasibility of biological means of mosquito control in one of the Village's wetlands. Application will be made to the Dept. of State for implementation funds to accomplish these two projects. 2. The other public and private implementation actions will not require outside.sources of funding. 3. Management of the LWRP will not require outside sources of funding. 100 E.
