Re: VS Construction – Evergreen Manor Project
Request for Authorization for DOTS to sign application forms
Dear Supervisor Becker and Members of the Town Board:
The Development Team for the Evergreen Manor project has been working actively with
Town Staff to finalize the required submission to the Westchester County Department of Health
(DOH) necessary to secure DOH sign off on the site’s Subdivision Application and Plat Map. We
appreciate the time and attention that DOTS has paid to the project. I am advised that Town
Engineer Preziosi has indicated that DOTS needs express authorization from your Board in order
to sign off on some required forms.
Please accept this correspondence as a formal request, on behalf VS Construction, for your
Board to expressly authorize DOTS to execute: a) the BSP-5 form concerning the wastewater
disposal system, b) the DOH-348 form concerning the water supply improvements, and c) any
other required forms and/or materials.
If you or Town Staff have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.
Respectfully submitted,
ZARIN & STEINMETZ LLP

Subject: Re: Dangerous Road Condition
Here are the photos I discussed. My home security cameras only hold video for about a two week period
so I’m unable to identify the exact time and date this accident occurred. It appears, based on my
retrieved security footage that a vehicle lost control on Rita drive and went onto my property. I believe
that this happened during the latest snow storm. It appears that a car may have lost control going down
the hill on Rita during the snow storm. Then regaining control and driving away leaving only some tire
tracks behind. As the snow fell it covered the tire tracks and evidence of it happening from my view. In
addition the Cortlandt snow plows clearing the road also further covered evidence of this event (no fault
of the snow plows clearing drivers) with more snow. This event remained unknown to me until a
sufficient amount of snow melted to expose the evidence of the event. Being that this is the second time
this has happened I am very concerned that this hill on Rita drive is dangerous. During the first accident
where a vehicle struck my home I had a concrete bench in the front yard. The car struck and destroyed
the bench but had a protective effect as the concrete bench slowed the out of control car and definitely
mitigated the resulting damage and danger to my home. I believe that a few boulders on the public
right of way will have the same effect if another car loses control on Rita Drive.

Subject: Dangerous Road Condition
CAUTION: This email originated from outside of the organization. Do not click links or open attachments
unless you recognize the sender and know the content is safe.
This is email number two
I sent you a video of an accident that happened at 119 Rita Drive
In the video you can see and hear the driver/owner of a car loosing control of the car resulting in the car
crashing into my home and vehicle in my driveway.
This was a terrifying incident to say the least - the deadly possibilities are self evident. The owner of the
car suffered injuries. Fortunately for my family no injuries were sustained or suffered.
Page 34
This incident made me aware of a very dangerous situation on Rita Drive with unfortunately my home in
the “crosshairs“ of the danger. Rita Drive is a road with an incline (see attached photo which is also a
daylight view of the area of the video I sent you). My front yard also has a downward incline from Rita
Drive. The result of this incline is that any car that looses control due to environmental (ice or snow),
mechanical or even Criminal (DWI) reasons will head directs for my home. Fortunately for my family the
vehicle involved in this incident struck my home around the far end of my living room / garage and
driveway area. Had the vehicle had a slightly different angle it might have headed towards and struck
my nieces bedroom. The results of such a strike are very disquieting and possibly deadly.
This incident has caused me to consider protective remedies. At first I thought a guardrail would be the
most effective protective measure but I also realized that a guardrail would have a displeasing look to
my home and to the neighborhood in general. After some thought it appeared that some large
decorative boulders in the public right-of-way would provide protection from an out of control vehicle
and also give a natural look.
Of course this idea is, and the specifics to implement it, are unknown to me. Would the town of
Cortlandt do this project in the name of public safety? If not could I take on the project and if so what
rules and/or regulations must be followed?
Any guidance or suggestions would be appreciated!
