RESOLUTION
of the
BOARD OF TRUSTEES OF THE VILLAGE OF BRIARCLIFF MANOR
for its determination under
MATTER OF COUNTY OF MONROE
on the
TOWN OF OSSINING DPW TEMPORARY BUILDING
WHEREAS, the Village of Briarcliff Manor is a municipal corporation duly organized under the laws of the State of New York, having those powers of zoning and land use regulation specified in the New York Village Law and other New York State Statutes (“Village”); and
WHEREAS, the Town of Ossining is a municipal corporation duly organized under the laws of the State of New York, having those powers specified in New York Town Law and other New York State statutes for its unincorporated area situated outside the Village of Briarcliff Manor and Village of Ossining (“Town”); and
WHEREAS, the Town owns a parcel of property in the Village located at Old Route 100 in the Village’s B-2 Zoning District, which parcel comprises approximately 0.62 acres (“Site”); and
WHEREAS, since at least 1971, the Town has applied for and obtained various approvals from the Village’s Planning Board (“Planning Board”) and Zoning Board of Appeals (“ZBA”) relative to the Site; and
WHEREAS, in 2002, the Town applied for and obtained variances granted by the ZBA and a resolution of site plan approval adopted by the Planning Board as more fully discussed below (“Approvals”), which Approvals permitted the Town to install a 1,536 square foot double-wide mobile structure on the Site for use by the Town (“Temporary Building”); and  
WHEREAS, the Town agreed that as a condition to the Approvals, the Town would remove the Temporary Building from the Site upon the earlier of the relocation from the Site of the Town’s Police Department headquarters or a period of four years from issuance of the Approvals; and
WHEREAS, in furtherance thereof, the Town entered into an Intermunicipal Agreement with the Village on April 29, 2002, by which the Town agreed to remove the Temporary Building within said time frames (“IMA”); and
WHEREAS, the Town’s Police Department vacated the site in or about late 2005, and the four year period provided for in the Approvals and IMA expired in April 2006 during which time there were ongoing conversations between the Town Attorney and Village Attorney regarding the Town’s efforts to find a new location; and
WHEREAS, the Village wrote to the Town Supervisor about removal of the Temporary Building and the need of the Town to apply for further approvals if the Town wanted to make the Temporary Building a permanent component of the Site on June~2, 2006; and
WHEREAS, the Temporary Building was not removed from the Site by the Town, and the Town did not apply for any approvals to make the Temporary Building a permanent component of the Site, and in accordance with the express terms of the IMA, the Village served notice upon the Town on May 21, 2010, requiring the removal of the Temporary Building from the Site; and
WHEREAS, The Village has issued notices of violation on the Site to the Town; and
WHEREAS, the Town has failed to remove the Temporary Building from the Site and has, through its Town Attorney, questioned application of the Village’s zoning provisions and land use regulations to the Town; and
WHEREAS, the Village is seeking to enforce its zoning provisions and Approvals that require immediate removal of the Temporary Building; and
WHEREAS, in the first instance, the Town is presumed to be subject to the Village’s zoning provisions and land use regulations, unless State legislation specifically exempts it; and
WHEREAS, State legislation does not exempt the Town from the Village’s zoning provisions and land use regulations; and
WHEREAS, pursuant to the decision of the New York Court of Appeals in Matter of County of Monroe, 72 N.Y. 2d 338 (1988), a “balancing of public interests” is required to determine whether the Town would be exempt from the zoning and land use regulatory jurisdiction of the Village and its agencies (“Monroe Inquiry”); and
WHEREAS, by Resolution dated October 6, 2010, the Briarcliff Manor Board of Trustees, in the exercise of its legislative and executive functions, determined to commence “an inquiry and balancing of the factors to be weighed under Matter of County of Monroe, 72 NY2d 338 (1988), on Village approval authority over the Town of Ossining’s Temporary Building located at the Town of Ossining Department of Public Works site in the Village of Briarcliff Manor” and scheduled a special hearing for October 20, 2010, at which time all persons interested in the matter would be allowed to present oral or written statements, and directed that notice of thereof be given; and
WHEREAS, notice of the special hearing for “an inquiry and balancing of the factors to be weighed under Matter of County of Monroe, 72 NY2d 338 (1988), on Village approval authority over the Town of Ossining’s Temporary Building located at the Town of Ossining Department of Public Works site in the Village of Briarcliff Manor” was in fact delivered to the Town; and
WHEREAS, the Briarcliff Manor Board of Trustees held the special hearing in furtherance of the Monroe Inquiry as noticed on October 20, 2010, at which time, the Village’s Building Inspector/Village Engineer David Turiano, P.E. delivered to the Board of Trustees, who received and entered into the record, his memorandum containing, among other things, a history of the Site and an analysis of issues pertaining to the Temporary Building and use of the Site under the Monroe balancing test which is incorporated herein with exhibits, and a copy of which is annexed hereto and made a part hereof as Schedule A (“Turiano Memo”); and
WHEREAS, among other things, the Board of Trustees at that meeting:
  • Received and entered into its record the Turiano Memo, as more fully described above.
  • Received and entered into its record various exhibits (A through R) referenced in and annexed to the Turiano Memo.
Heard an oral report from Mr. Turiano in which he summarized the content and conclusions of the Turiano Memo.
  • Heard oral statements from the following Town officials: Town Supervisor Catherine Borgia, Town Board Member Michael Tawil, Town Attorney Wayne Spector, and Town Highway Superintendent Michael O’Connor, to the effect that the Town is not subject to the Village’s zoning provisions and land use regulatory authority principally alleging the following reasons:
  • The hearing was not the proper forum for a Monroe Inquiry and  that any such analysis must be offered in the context of a legal proceeding.
  • The use of the Site for Town DPW/Highway Department use commenced in 1944 and such use had to evolve to meet the Town’s needs of today.
  • The Temporary Building serves an important government function by housing the Town DPW/ Highway Department administrative offices that must be situated at the same location as the Department’s garages/vehicles/equipment because of extensive record-keeping requirements (i.e. primarily related to stormwater management).
  • In addition to administrative offices, the Temporary Building provides sanitary facilities and lockers for Highway Department personnel, which are needed on-site.
  • The Temporary Building is not unsightly and its appearance is compatible with Village plans associated with redevelopment of the East Side Business District in which the Site is located.
  • Village residents derive a benefit from Town Highway Department operations, particularly when they travel on Town roads.
  • There is a goal is to consolidate highway departments of the Village, Town, and Village of Ossining at some time in the future and a larger site would be needed to accommodate any consolidation of these departments.
  • The Town has evaluated a number of sites for relocation of the Town’s DPW/Highway Department within the Town, but none have materialized.  Most recently a site located on North State Road (former Scott Motors site) was rejected by the Town because the Town Planning Board concluded the intended use by the DPW/Highway Department was not in conformity with Town plans for redevelopment of North State Road.
  • The Town is a “superior jurisdiction” to the Village.  As a result, the Town is not subject to the Village’s zoning provisions and land use regulations.
NOW THEREFORE, after review of the record in the Monroe Inquiry, including but not limited to, the Turiano Memo that has been accepted by the Board of Trustees in its entirety and incorporated into this resolution as Schedule A, and comments offered at the hearing, including the oral statements of various Town officials, and after due deliberation, it is:
RESOLVED, that the Briarcliff Manor Board of Trustees does hereby find:
Findings: As a preliminary matter, the Board of Trustees finds that it is entitled to conduct the Monroe Inquiry and hearing and that this Monroe Inquiry is a legitimate exercise of the Village’s authority.  

After carefully analyzing, considering and discussing the following factors as set forth in Matter of County of Monroe in relation to the Temporary Building and application of the Village’s zoning provisions and land use regulations, the Board of Trustees finds:  
1.      The nature and scope of the instrumentality seeking immunity
The Village is a political subdivision of the State of New York.  The Town is also a political subdivision of the State of New York and is contiguous to the Village.  The Town is not a legally superior jurisdiction to the Village and, accordingly, the Village’s legislative authority and police powers are of equal importance to the Town’s delegated authority.  This factor weighs against exempting the Town from the Village’s zoning provisions and land use regulatory authority.
2.      The kind of function or land use involved and the extent of the public interest to be served
The Temporary Building is used by the Town’s DPW/Highway Department for its administrative offices.  The Town’s use of the Temporary Building is for a governmental purpose.  Whether or not members of the Board of Trustees have actually toured the interior of the Temporary Building is wholly irrelevant since the Temporary Building’s use for administrative offices is not in dispute.
Primary benefits of the Town’s use accrue to the Town since the Village has its own Highway Department facility.  However, the Board of Trustees recognizes and acknowledges that Village residents use roads situated within the Town so that the Town DPW/Highway Department’s operations can also benefit the Village, but any benefit derived by Village residents is not dependent on the Town DPW/Highway Department’s administrative offices or facilities being situated within the Village.
This factor is only one of many factors to be considered and results in only positive benefits for the Town and overall negative effects on the interests of the Village.
3.      The effect local land use regulation would have upon the enterprise concerned
The Village is seeking to enforce its zoning provisions, land use regulations and Approvals that require immediate removal of the Temporary Building from the Site.  Further, the IMA requires immediate removal of the Temporary Building as the time limitation for the Temporary Building to remain at the Site has long ago expired.
Enforcement of the Village’s zoning provisions and land use regulations to compel removal of Temporary Building from the Site should have an insignificant effect on the Town.  As demonstrated by a current search of the Multiple Listing Service (Turiano Memorandum, Exhibit G), there is office space available in the Town that could support Town DPW/Highway Department administrative offices.
At the Monroe hearing, Town officials urged that employee lockers and sanitary facilities, now provided in the Temporary Building, must be located at the Site.  However, these Town officials failed to identify specific requirements or what type of facility, if any, is mandated pursuant to state or federal law.  The Board of Trustees finds that after the Temporary Building is removed, lockers and sanitary facilities could be provided on-site for the use of Town DPW/Highway Department employees, subject to compliance with the Village zoning provisions and land use regulations.
At the Monroe hearing, Town officials also noted difficulties associated with record keeping requirements that in their view necessitated that DPW/Highway Department administrative offices be situated at the Site.  The Board of Trustees finds that DPW/Highway Department records could be instantly and routinely transmitted to off-site administrative offices with the use of email or facsimile technology.  The Board of Trustees therefore concludes that locating Town DPW/Highway Department administrative offices on the same site with its garages/vehicles/equipment is only for the ease and convenience of the Town and is not essential.
This factor weighs against exempting the Town from the Village’s zoning provisions and land use regulatory authority, particularly when applied to the Temporary Building which does not comply with the Village’s zoning provisions, land use regulations, or to the Approvals.
4.      The impact upon legitimate local interests
The Site is located in the center of the Village’s designated East Downtown Central Business District.  This area has been determined to have the greatest redevelopment potential of all Village business areas.  Ultimately, the Village’s goal is to have a central business district similar to the business district located on Pleasantville Road, which maintains a local shopping scale with residential uses.  
There already is evidence of redevelopment in this area, as a new shopping center has recently opened near the Site and an office complex is located across the street.  The Temporary Building is highly visible, situated only a few feet from Old Route 100, is not compatible with new development in the area, and will impede Village plans and efforts towards further upgrade of the area.  This factor weighs against exempting the Town from the Village’s zoning provisions and land use regulatory authority.
5.      The Applicant’s legislative grant of authority
There is no express grant of legislative authority to the Town providing it immunity from land use oversight by the Village and there is no legal or factual basis to conclude that the Town is a “superior jurisdiction.”  While there is legislative authority for the Town to act in accordance with approved plans, there is no grant of exemption from a host municipality’s zoning regulations.  Accordingly this factor weighs against exempting the Town from the Village’s zoning provisions and land use regulatory authority.
6.      Alternative sites for the use in less restrictive zoning areas and alternative methods of providing the needed improvements
Town officials have suggested there are no immediate alternatives or that this is not the appropriate time to remove the Temporary Building because consolidated municipal services are being contemplated.  Yet any efforts to consolidate municipal services of the Town and Village have been effectively abandoned by the Town.
Town officials also urge that there is a necessity to locate the Town DPW/ Highway Department administrative offices and garages/vehicles/equipment on the same site. Comments by Town Highway Superintendent O’Connor at the hearing revealed that there are and have been alternative sites that have been rejected by the Town.  More specifically, a site on North State Road was rejected because the DPW/ Highway Department use was deemed by the Town to be a use inappropriate for the area targeted by the Town for future business development.  
Although the Town has apparently concluded now is not the time to relocate the Town’s DPW/Highway Department, this should not preclude removal of the Temporary Building from the Site.  As indicated above, there are alternatives and ample vacant office space within the Town that could be used by the Town’s DPW/Highway Department for offices.  
The Board of Trustees also finds that situating the Town DPW/Highway Department administrative offices on the same site with garages/vehicles/equipment is solely for the convenience of the Town and is not a necessity.  As discussed above (Monroe Inquiry # 3), notwithstanding removal of the Temporary Building, sanitary facilities and employee lockers could be provided at the Site, subject to compliance with the Village zoning provisions and land use regulations.  Most significantly, Mr. O’Connor’s comments demonstrate that there have been genuine opportunities for the Town to remove and relocate the Temporary Building.   
The availability of alternative sites for Highway Department offices weighs against exempting the Town from the Village’s zoning provisions and land use regulatory authority.
7.      Intergovernmental participation.
The Village has historically followed a policy that development projects sponsored by other municipalities are subject to the same degree of scrutiny under zoning, environmental and other applicable laws as privately sponsored development projects.  It is appropriate to apply this policy consistently.  In fact, as discussed above, the Town previously acknowledged and submitted to the Village’s land use authority on at least five occasions prior to seeking and obtaining variances and site plan approval for installation of the Temporary Building in 2002.  There is a history of intermunicipal cooperation and consistent participation by the Town in the Village’s land use approval process.  
To further intergovernmental participation, the Town was given notice of the Monroe hearing.  Town officials appeared and offered oral statements at the hearing so the Town had a full opportunity to be heard on the issue of whether the Monroe factors weigh in favor of the Town being exempt from the Village’s zoning provisions and land use regulations.  It is noted that at the hearing all Town officials opted to depart while the proceeding was still in progress, immediately after offering and giving oral statements, but prior to any discussion of this matter by the Village Board of Trustees.
Conclusion
In accordance with Monroe, in the event of a conflict between the host municipality and the encroaching municipality, the test to determine if an encroaching municipality is exempt from zoning requires the following considerations: (i) in the first instance, the municipality is presumed to be subject to the host municipality’s zoning, unless state legislation specifically exempts it; (ii) if a municipality believes it is exempt, and there is a conflict, a meeting must be held at which time either the host or the encroaching municipality must consider and weigh the factors enumerated above; and (iii) while no one factor is controlling, a single factor may be so significant as to completely influence or overshadow all others.
Upon weighing the foregoing factors, the negative impacts on the Village’s comprehensive and business plans, existing impacts on the community coupled with existing land use requirements, lack of benefit to Village residents of having the Town’s DPW/ Highway Department offices located within the Village, the Town’s consistent acknowledgment of and participation in the Village’s land use approval process, the Town’s participation in this Monroe Inquiry, the Town’s acknowledgment of its failure to utilize a suitable alternative site for its DPW/Highway Department operations, the availability of alternate sites for Town DPW/ Highway Department offices, and the explicit provisions of the IMA would appear to outweigh the benefits to the Town.  
The Town should be required to comply with the Village’s zoning provisions and the Approvals that require immediate removal of the Temporary Building from the Site.
It is noted that to date the Village has acted in good faith and in a thoughtful and deliberate manner to enforce its zoning provisions and land use regulations, without exercising available self help remedies pursuant to the IMA.  The intent and actions of the Village demonstrate that it has worked tirelessly and patiently with the Town to give it ample opportunities for over four years to relocate the Temporary Building.
AND FURTHER RESOLVED, that for the reasons and on the basis of the findings set forth above, the Temporary Building is subject to the zoning provisions and land use regulatory jurisdiction and authority of the Village and its agencies as set forth in New York Village Law Article 7 and the Briarcliff Manor Village Code;
Dated:  December 1, 2010
