White Plains cabaret moratorium draws flak

SPECIAL SECTION • 16

City officials: Existing venues’ operations won’t be affected

Luiz C. Aragon, the city’s development commissioner, said the MOU negotiations would allow the city to “get the players at the table” and move forward with negotiations.

“I’m confident that we’ll have a product that we’re all going to be proud of,” he said.

The MOU focuses on two city-owned properties in what is the first phase of a project that could eventually encompass as many as 26 acres and include up to 930,000 square feet of residential space and 130,000 square feet of retail space. The phase one properties are the armory, which will be spared from demolition but renovated for a community use, and a deteriorating public works yard. It is unclear how many resi-

espite objections from local business owners and residents during a public comment period, the White Plains Common Council passed a moratorium on cabarets at its July 7 meeting.

According to Damon Amadio, the White Plains building commissioner, the moratorium will give the city time to codify regulations that were typically written into each cabaret’s operating permit. Amadio said that once the cabaret law is updated, rules that previously were written into each license will be uniformly applied through the city ordinance.

“We’ve had quite a few applications for new cabarets,” Amadio said in a phone interview. “We decided we should take a breather, update the ordinance and apply it to the new cabarets. Everyone who is in good standing will be allowed to operate their cabarets under the moratorium.”

During the public hearing regarding the licensing moratorium, local cabaret owner Daniel Coughlan said he feared new regulations that may follow the moratorium would hurt small-business owners.

“I operate my cabaret without any harm whatsoever to the safety and welfare of the public while providing a significant benefit to the economy and quality of life in White Plains,” said Coughlan, owner of Coughlan Inc., which has operated a cabaret doing business as Coughlan’s, Prophecy and Coliseum for the past 10 years. “I’m strongly in favor of reviewing laws to ensure the public’s safety and welfare are adequately protected. However, here the laws likely sought to be enacted will only strangle small-business owners such as

New developer for Echo Bay

BY MARK LUNGARIELLO mlungariello@westfairinc.com

THE NEW ROCHELLE CITY COUNCIL has chosen a developer for the Echo Bay waterfront, resurrecting a mixed-use project that was effectively crushed under community resistance just a year ago.

The council voted July 8 to negotiate a memorandum of understanding, or MOU, with Manhattan-based Twining Properties, which finished as runner-up in the last round of Echo Bay bids in 2006. The group is in discussions with veterans groups about the repurposing of a former armory building at the site, the fate of which drew picketing and protests in the past.

Hearings begin on FASNY project

T

he yearslong battle between the French-American School of New York and residents living near the former Ridgeway Country Club finally reached the White Plains Common Council.

Public hearings opened on two proposals brought by the French-American School of New York dealing with the closing of Hathaway Lane between Ridgeway and Gedney Esplanade and the construction of the school’s consolidated campus as well as a nature conservancy on the former golf course. The hearings, which were adjourned, are expected to continue during the August and September meetings of the Common Council.

Currently, the French-American School of New York has students from nursery school to 12th grade spread across three campuses in Scarsdale, Larchmont and Mamaroneck. The school hopes to consolidate its operations into a single location for 950 students built on a portion of the former golf course.

The most recent round of court battles regarding the school’s plan to build on the site ended June 19, when Westchester County Supreme Court judge Joan B. Lefkowitz threw out all but one claim filed by the Gedney Association and residents of the neighborhood against members of the city council seeking to have the findings statement adopted by the council in December of 2013 vacated. A claim that the members of the council violated the Open Meetings Law remains alive. In her decision, Lefkowitz said that while “the affidavits in support thereof and in opposition to the motions … are sparse and weak … said facts do at least fit within a cognizable legal theory.”

Approximately 75 people watched the proceedings in the gallery in the Common Council meeting room, with more watching on closed-circuit televisions set up in the first and second-floor lobbies of White

Plains City Hall.

Attorney Michael Zarin of Zarin and Steinmetz, a White Plains law firm representing the French-American School, began the hearing by making a 24-minute presentation on the school’s plan to build on the site.

“We’ve together spent over two and a half years of hard work getting to the State Environmental Quality Review Act findings that were issued, and FASNY and its consultants have worked hard getting those findings into the site plan that is before you,” Zarin said.

In his presentation, Zarin listed 13 key modifications to the project, including a school enrollment capped at 950 students as opposed to the previously proposed enrollment of 1,200, a mandatory busing program aimed at reducing traffic and increased landscaped buffer space around the campus and parking lots.

Residents on both sides of the issue gave their opinions about the economic impact on the White Plains community, traffic concerns and the use of 78 acres of the Ridgeway Country Club property as a

nature conservancy.

“Let’s get real, and let’s get honest,” said White Plains resident Mary Ann Berry in support of the school’s proposals. “If we say ‘no’ to a great school and a nature conservancy, what is the next alternative?

Housing subdivision? Sports complex?

Maybe some of the public housing the federal government is demanding?”

Addressing the council, John Ravitz of The Business Council of Westchester said, “When you look at the FASNY project, it is important to note that it’s going to bring in the revenue for Westchester County and for White Plains. The new campus will generate $14.3 million in annual economic benefit and an additional $22 million for

businesses throughout the county.”

Ravitz said the city would net $1.1 million in taxes annually.

“I’ve heard there’s going to be jobs,” said Andrew Swanson of Club Pointe Drive. “I’ve also heard that FASNY is going to use nonunion labor in their construction. If this is the case, there will be disruption, protests. There will be difficulties with contractors in the Westchester area.

They’re unlikely to want to work on a project of that nature, and it’s therefore likely the jobs, if indeed it succeeds, will go to business outside of Westchester County.”

The hearings on both proposals will continue at the White Plains Common Council meeting scheduled for Aug. 4.

Residents look to close shooting range business

BY MARK LUNGARIELLO mlungariello@westfairinc.com

A

group of Greenburgh residents wants to shut down a privately owned shooting range they say is a noisy nuisance and potential safety hazard, but supporters say neighbors of the range in a newly constructed housing development should learn to deal with the long-operating business.

The Westchester County Police Revolver and Rifle League on Ardsley Road, a nonprofit that has no affiliation with any police department, has been temporarily closed since June 12 as police investigate claims that a resident was struck by a stray bullet fragment while in her backyard near the range.

The Birch Hill Road woman told police she had been struck in the leg by a flat circular object. The resident, who suffered a small scratch on her leg and was treated at the scene, believed she had been hit by a piece of a stray bullet, according to police.

Greenburgh detectives continue to work with other police agencies to analyze the

fragment and determine its origin.

That home is in Ardsley Chase, a 24-unit housing development constructed

by Toll Brothers on a huge swatch of previously undeveloped land next to the gun range.

Town Supervisor Paul Feiner, a Democrat, said he will introduce legislation at a July 15 special meeting of the Town Board that would close the shooting range, which has been in business since the 1940s, according to Greenburgh officials.

“I feel strongly that outdoor shooting range facilities should be regulated and share neighbors’ concerns about noise, safety and environmental concerns,” Feiner said in an email.

Feiner said at the special meeting the board will schedule a public hearing and forward the ordinance to the town Planning Board, asking for a recommendation and report on the ordinance.

Robert Bernstein, an attorney and president of local civic group The Edgemont Community Council, drafted the legislation, which would regulate all

outdoor pistol and firearm ranges in the town. If the ordinance becomes law, it would charge new ranges a $250 permit fee and require at least a quarter mile between a new or existing range and any residence, school or public space.

That aspect of the law would effectively force the closure of the Ardsley Road range.

The law also would compel a range to minimize noise coming from its property and file a site plan that includes design to ensure containment of any bullets to the site. The proposal requires ranges obtain $5 million worth of liability insurance.

The July 8 Town Board meeting saw both supporters and detractors converge on Town Hall, with the pro-gun range contingent suggesting that Greenburgh should work with the owners of the shooting range to try to reduce noise and ensure safety rather than close the business.

The Ardsley Road firing range is on a parcel of land owned by Consolidated Edison Inc. Bernstein said on the community council’s Facebook page that he

modeled his proposal on firing range regulations from around the country. Since the property was not being used by Con Edison as part of its utility operations, which are regulated by the state, any ordinance should not be hindered by the electric company’s ownership, according to Bernstein.

Several residents looking to close the gun range criticized the town supervisor for taking campaign donations from the developer of Ardsley Chase. The community council suggested the town could have put noise reduction measures and added safety buffers as a condition of approving the subdivision.

Feiner said he declined campaign donations from the group after a 2007 ethics law was enacted in the town. He also said he had recused himself from the vote on the subdivision because he lived in Boulder Ridge, a condominium development near Arsdsley Chase. Many of Feiner’s neighbors had opposed the project and he said since he lived close to the development he did not take a stance on the Toll Brothers application.

Hydrofracking bans pose more obstacles for gas and oil industry

BY MARK LUNGARIELLO mlungariello@westfairinc.com

L

ocal communities have the right to decide whether or not they will allow hydraulic fracturing to extract natural gas in their communities, New York state’s highest court ruled.

The 5-2 decision by the state’s Court of Appeals on June 30 ended a yearlong court battle and could deal a crushing blow to the hydrofracking industry in New York as it continues to seek a foothold upstate.

The decision upheld lower court rulings stemming from two lawsuits against towns that had banned fracking within their borders: Dryden in Tompkins County and Middlefield in Otsego County. The lawsuits came from an energy company looking to drill in Dryden and from a dairy farm that wanted to lease land in Otsego to a fracking company.

New York has regulatory oversight for the oil and gas industry and the lawsuits argued that by banning fracking, local communities were illegally regulating the industry.

According to North Country Public Radio,

the town zoning did not ban the specific manner of drilling but prohibited where the drilling could take place. There are as many as 200 similar bans on fracking in other municipalities across the state that this ruling is likely to affect, the media outlet reported.

New York state has a moratorium on fracking as the state Health Department investigates its potential health impacts.

The court did not rule on the merits of fracking, a form of natural gas mining that uses pressurized fluid injected into the

ground to fracture stone and release the resource into wells. Business advocates say fracking will bring jobs and investment to the upstate region, but environmentalists say the mining harms the environment and can pollute drinking water.

New York state has a moratorium on fracking as the state Health Department investigates its potential health impacts. Gov. Andrew Cuomo has yet to take a stance on whether fracking is an economic benefit or an environmental detriment and is in no rush to conclude the process, according to the The New York Times. Cuomo’s opponent in the gubernatorial race this year, Westchester County Executive Rob Astorino, supports fracking and has touted its benefits.

New York’s western region sits on part of the Marcellus Shale, a huge rock vein with natural gas trapped within it. Just over the border in Pennsylvania, the fracking industry has grown along the shale. State fracking advocates said the court decision could scare away potential companies from investing in New York.

Brad Gill, executive director of the profracking Independent Oil & Gas Association

of New York, told the Albany Times-Union that even if the state allows hydrofracking, the decision would create barriers for companies looking to break ground locally.

“It is one more nail in the coffin,” Gill told the newspaper.

Environmental groups were quick to praise the decision. Katherine Nadea, policy director for the group Environmental Advocates of New York, said in a statement that the fracking industry has spent millions “to bully our state, even sending a team of lawyers to strip away the rights of communities who have chosen to ban fracking within their municipal lines.”

“As other states roll over for a very deeppocketed fracking industry, communities throughout New York – large and small – have challenged them and won,” she said.

Kate Sinding, director of the Community Fracking Defense Project, said in a statement the decision represented “American democracy at its best.”

She said, “This sends a message to all the oil and gas drillers anxiously eyeing our borders – the people of New York will not be streamrolled.”

myself who have poured their life savings into our businesses.”

Coughlan’s landlord, Bart Goldberg, questioned why cabarets had suddenly become a zoning issue.

“Why single out cabarets?” Goldberg asked rhetorically. “As best as I can understand from what I read, it’s because someone is characterizing the existence of cabarets as they are presently recognized in the city zoning as being detrimental to the safety and the welfare of the public.”

Goldberg told the council that in the close to 40 years cabarets have operated in the building he owns at the corner of South Broadway and Martine Avenue, there have been few, if any, safety violations.

“In all honesty, I believe the problem is, we’re looking to go back to a halcyon time where there weren’t late nights, there weren’t parties, there wasn’t drinking,” said local attorney Gary Jenkins. “They tried this in 1929, and it failed miserably. … Let’s just use the law we have in place to protect the people that want to do business.”

Mayor Thomas Roach repeatedly said during the session the law would halt licensing of any new cabarets while the city reviewed and updated the regulations regarding the establishments.

“I think that any time you take an action of this sort, it’s a slippery slope,” Jenkins said in a phone interview. “I just don’t like the idea of trying to limit free enterprise. What’s the endgame of not allowing establishments to have cabaret licenses?”

Seven people addressed the council during the hearing, all opposed to the moratorium.

Council President John Martin noted

dential units and how much retail space would be built in phase one.

Mayor Noam Bramson, a Democrat, said the MOU discussion was a somewhat noncommittal first step with details to be ironed out by the developer before environmental reviews were conducted and more specific site plans were outlined.

“We’re not getting married, we’re not getting engaged, we’re not even going steady,” he said. “It’s like we’re going on our first date and it may progress from there.”

City officials moved quickly to find a

the local law “specifically says that during the effective period of this moratorium, nothing shall prohibit the submission or processing of (renewal) applications for cabarets.”

Martin said the city’s cabaret law is outdated and needs review. He said he had no intention of voting to prohibit cabarets.

Under the White Plains municipal code, a cabaret is a “place of public resort, accommodation, assemblage, entertainment or amusement, where refreshments of any kind are served for gain or profit, and where dancing, entertainments or exhibitions are given or permitted in connection therewith, or a place of public resort, accommodation, assemblage, entertainment or amusement where exhibitions or other forms of entertainment or amusement are given or conducted for gain or profit and dancing and serving of refreshments of any kind are permitted.”

The measure passed by a 6-1 vote, with Councilwoman Nadine Hunt-Robinson opposed.

“I think it ill-advised to issue a moratorium with respect to cabarets,” HuntRobinson said, noting she would like to see specific data rather than anecdotal concerns. “I think some of our businesses in our core are in a tenuous situation. While I recognize careful drafting was attempted … I think the wiser course of action is not to issue the moratorium but rather to review the laws.”

Roach said updating the cabaret law could help bring business to White Plains.

“The other side to this is that there are certain establishments that most would welcome in our city that cannot locate here right now due to the way our cabaret law is drafted,” he said. “That’s what we want to look at and see if we can improve that circumstance.”

new developer, they said, because the state has already tagged a $1.5 million Empire State Development grant for the project, and although the city is the named grant recipient the grant listed the previous developer of the project. Aragon said it was important to select a new developer so the agreement could be revised and the funds kept in place. Twining was one of four groups asked to present proposals at a City Council meeting in June.

Twining, which will be working with Northwood Investors L.L.C., is looking to create a waterfront town center similar in design to Newport, R.I., that will link Main Street to a waterfront esplanade.

A former proposal to develop Echo Bay by Forest City Residential Inc. saw

opposition from members of the community who said it did not contain enough of a retail component and would need too much in the way of tax breaks. Forest City initially sought to raze the armory but later revised its plans to keep the building mostly intact, which did not appease local veterans groups that continued to oppose the development.

Reimagine New Rochelle, a group formed by veterans, was among those last month that offered proposals to the City Council. Ron Tocci, a former state assemblyman who represented the group, said he and other representatives would be willing to work with developers on preserving the armony. Reimagine and others proposed uses for the building in a

city-run design competition last year.

Councilman Al Tarantino, a Republican, said he viewed the MOU as a step forward, but noted the issues from the previous development plan continue to exist. “I want to make sure they (Twining) are aware of the hurdles before us that we have to address,” he said.

The first hurdle will be the fate of the other city-owned property in what Aragon, the development commissioner, called “The Heart of Echo Bay,” the maintenance yard. The yard would have to be relocated in the city before any project breaks ground. However, questions continue over how much the move would cost and if potential locations are suitable for a maintenance yard.

Automatic renewal clauses not so automatic

BY JUDITH ZERDEN

M

any service providers include automatic renewal provisions in their contracts to maintain their customer base without renegotiating contracts with their customers.

However, as a recent New York Appellate Court decision highlights, an automatic renewal provision isn’t enough to lock a customer into a successive term unless the provider complies with the notice requirements contained in Section 5-903, an often-overlooked section of the New York General Obligations Law. Section 5-903 specifically pertains to a contract for service, maintenance or repair to or for any real or personal property. It requires that a provider give written notification of a contract’s automatic renewal clause to the recipient of the service between 15 and 30 days prior to the renewal date specified in the agreement.

The written notice must be served personally or by certified mail. Importantly, if the required statutory notice is not provided, the provider cannot enforce the automatic renewal clause and the cus-

tomer can terminate the contract after the expiration of the initial term. This result is consistent with the statute’s remedial

A recent court decision serves as a reminder that it is imperative that any provider of services seeking to enforce an automatic renewal clause fully comply with the statutory notice requirements. Conversely, a consumer of services subject to an automatic renewal provision should be aware of its statutory rights under the agreement. legislative intent of protecting customers from unwittingly continuing to remain bound to service contracts that they are dissatisfied with or no longer need.

WHAT SERVICES ARE COVERED? In keeping with its broad remedial purpose, New York courts generally have taken an expansive approach in interpreting Section 5-903, applying it to service contracts for intellectual property as well as tangible personal property and real property.

The statute has been held applicable in a wide variety of contexts, including the management of real property, the provision of telephone answering services, the provision and servicing of equipment for financial information and hospital equipment, the installation and servicing of vending machines, and the cleaning, repair and delivery of uniforms.

A notable exception to the type of “services” encompassed by Section 5-903 is its inapplicability to “personal services contracts,” such as consulting agreements, employment contracts or professional retainer agreements. For example, the statute has been held inapplicable to a retainer for legal services, an agreement for the administration of an employee benefits plan and an agreement to provide access to information and analytics con-

Is building a presence online really necessary?

I’m still not sold that I need to be active on the Internet. I could take it or leave it. I’m ready to give up on it, but my employees are pushing me to keep it up. I could be willing to give it more time, but is it worth it?

THOUGHTS OF THE DAY: Remember the days when you used to go to face-to-face networking events? How often have you wondered what your customers have to say about your company? When’s the last time you used your cell phone to look for information?

Believe it or not, all of these questions relate to your presence in the world of social media. Our world is constantly changing, every minute of every day, and social media is the new way to communicate at that pace.

Regardless of the fast pace, it is important that you be both patient and diligent and think of social media as the new way of building relationships. Some connections happen more quickly than others. Some will lose interest and drop away and others will join the circle. The ones who stay are the ones that matter.

Before social media, we used up a lot of energy running from one networking event to another to meet prospects and vendors, as well as to remain relevant in the business community. Fast forward to today. Now, much of that energy is spent garnering virtual connections, with less driving. But it’s hard to juggle the anonymous aspect of social media with people’s need to see real people.

People like dealing with people. There’s just not as much time to do the running around, so do it virtually. Make it easy to connect by being present where people discuss topics related to what your company does.

Keep the conversation formal, but professional. No rants, no tirades, no foul language.

Be a role model and a leader and watch to see if people follow.

Before the Internet became popular, when we had a need, we used to call a friend or trusted adviser to ask for advice on who to speak with. Today through the Internet we can tap into a million advisers for information on any topic. The question is who to trust.

How do you figure out who is qualified to provide an expert referral? Or to provide advice on a particular topic? Social media.

We look for people who are talking about a

specific subject in which we are interested.

We look to see how many others are referencing that source. Does the advice make sense, even if it’s something we might not agree with right off the bat?

This is where blogging can lend a helping hand. Blogging is an opportunity to show your expertise, gather input from others and continue to expand the dialogue. Invite other experts to contribute. People can weigh in with their thoughts and the blogger who is paying attention gets to defend or expand upon the topic. When someone else is looking for information on the same topic, they may find the blogger, read the posts and reach the conclusion this is a person worth following.

Take advantage of opportunities to contribute to current events and use it as an opportunity to build your reputation as a leader. Look for topics that relate to your business. Take time to read and then post a comment. Invite others to expand on what you’ve said. If you’ve picked the right topic, you’ll find you have a dialog going. And if you picked a topic no one is interested in, you’ll get feedback on that, too.

Ask your customers to refer your company using social media tools. They can write

about their experience on your company’s Facebook page. They can send out tweets when they’re engaging with your company.

You can take a video of customers using your products or services, then post it on any number of sites (make sure you get their permission).

Afraid that someone might post a negative comment? Better to know what’s being said than to have it said behind your back.

Invite comments, and if someone has a beef, deal with it quickly and professionally. You wouldn’t leave an irate customer fuming in the real world, don’t do so in the virtual world either. Apologize, but don’t get defensive. Let people know you take the comments seriously. Invite the offended person to correspond further by email in order to get the discussion to a less public forum. Remember that relationships are often built on solving breakdowns.

INBRIEF WESTCHESTER ATTORNEY INDICTED ON FEDERAL TAX EVASION CHARGES

A White Plains federal grand jury has indicted state Sen. Thomas Libous, R-Binghamton, on a charge of lying to federal agents, and his son, Westchester County attorney Matthew Libous, on charges of tax evasion, it was announced July 1.

Thomas Libous, who represents a district that includes Broome, Chenango, Delaware and Tioga counties, is accused of making false statements to FBI agents who were investigating payments he allegedly caused an Albany lobbying firm to funnel to his son.

“As alleged, rather than serve the public he took an oath to serve, Senator Libous used his political position to garner favorable treatment for himself and his son,” said George Venizelos, assistant director in charge of the FBI’s New York field office.

“Lying to FBI agents is a serious offense and his alleged criminal conduct is an injustice to the community he represents.”

Matthew Libous started working as an attorney at an unnamed Westchester County

law firm in early 2006, a job that was allegedly years in federal prison on each count.

INBRIEF REPORT QUESTIONS IMPACT OF IDAs, LDCs

A report by the state Authorities Budget Office questions the economic benefits of industrial development agencies and local development corporations.

The report, released July 8, said it was difficult to quantify the impact of IDAs and LDCs, noting there was no correlation between job growth in a county and the existence of development authorities there.

“It is clear that the current laws governing the activities of certain authorities, particularly industrial development agencies and local development corporations, are in need of review and reform,” the report said.

The report said LDCs “are rarely a major factor in large economic development/job creation projects.” The average loan dished out by LDCs in 2013 was for $213,000 but only produced five or fewer jobs, the report said. Forty-three LDCs made outstanding loans in 2013, according to the office.

The report also said the operating expenses of local authorities continue to rise although staffing levels decline. It also noted that state and local government officials hold more than 1,000 seats out of 3,100 board member positions currently occupied in local authorities. “Directors face the difficult and potentially conflicting obligation to balance the responsibilities of their public positions with their fiduciary duty as a member of a public authority’s board of directors,” the report said.

The Authorities Budget Office was formed in 2009 by the state Legislature to analyze the operation of local and state authorities. Its purview encompasses more than 500 state and local agencies, including 110 IDAs.

gage tax this year is $19.8 million – which in itself is less than half of the $39.8 collected in 2005 at the height of the real estate bubble, according to the clerk. These figures represent only the county portion of total taxes collected.

Idoni, whose office collects county taxes, said that mortgage taxes saw a spike in the latter halves of 2012 and 2013.

“However, monthly revenues dropped at the end of 2013 and have not recovered,” he said.

Westchester collected about $889,000 and $905,000 in February and March, respectively, the lowest monthly totals in the first half of any year since 2009, when the county collected less than $900,000 every month but one. The low-water mark for first-half collections in recent years was slightly more than $681,000, in May 2009.

WESTCHESTER MORTGAGE TAXES LESS THAN EXPECTED

Westchester County is on pace to come up well short of its projected 2014 mortgage tax revenues from residential and commercial property deals, according to County Clerk Tim Idoni.

Idoni on July 8 said that mortgage tax receipts in the first half of the year, totaling $6.1 million, were down 19 percent from 2013, when the county collected $7.5 million in the first half of the year and $16.9 million over the entire year. That figure was a post-recession high and $3.2 million, or 23 percent, more than the amount collected in 2012, according to Idoni.

analytical or administrative service agreement were at issue in the recent Appellate Division, First Department decision in Healthcare I.Q. L.L.C. v. Tsai Chung Chao, (2014 NY Slip Op. 03216) (May 6, 2014). There, the plaintiff, Healthcare I.Q. (HCIQ), a health care services company, and the defendant, Dr. Tsai Chung Chao and his medical practice (Chao)

had executed a practice management and licensing agreement, pursuant to which Chao uploaded all its patient records and files to HCIQ’s proprietary program.

HCIQ was responsible for “the practice staff, management and supervision of the medical billing, coding, collection of reimbursable insurance dollars, adherence to documentation guidelines, compliance issues, business issues, and for overall management of the medical facility.”

The agreement, initially for a 36-month

term, called for automatic renewals for successive 18-month periods unless either party sent written notice of its intention to terminate to the other. It was undisputed that neither party sent such notification of termination and that HCIQ failed to provide the written notification of renewal required by Section 5-903 to Chao.

Chao maintained that, without written notification of the renewal clause, it had the right to cancel the agreement at any time after the initial 36-month

period. HCIQ contended that its services were of a consulting, analytical or administrative nature, rendering Section 5-903 inapplicable. In its unanimous decision, the Appellate Division agreed with Chao, ruling that the parties’ agreement was “for service … to or for … personal property,” since “the services provided were directly and inextricably related to the billing and medical records of the practice, which are personal property.”

The court further explained: “Here the agreement provided for HCIQ to take dominion over the records and to maintain and organize them on an ongoing basis. … This was not merely incidental access to the records in the context of administrative or consulting services.”

Although under the facts of Healthcare I.Q., the court found that HCIQ’s “level of unfettered use, access, physical possession and management of (Chao’s) records” easily placed the agreement within the ambit of Section 5-903, determining the nature of the services provided may not always be as clear.

In today’s marketplace, where service companies frequently provide consulting and other administrative services as part of their engagements, the applicability of Section 5-903 is not assured. Nevertheless, the decision in Healthcare I.Q. serves as a reminder that it is imperative that any provider of services seeking to enforce an automatic renewal clause fully comply with the statutory notice requirements.

Conversely, a consumer of services subject to an automatic renewal provision should be aware of its statutory rights under the agreement.

Despite cost overruns, Rye Town to move out of Town Hall

BY MARK LUNGARIELLO mlungariello@westfairinc.com

R

ye Town Hall will shut down this fall as its government, intent on downsizing and eventually disbanding, moves in as a tenant of the Port Chester village municipal building.

Town Hall was sold last year in a deal worth $1.85 million, but government officials have lingered in their deteriorating office space on Pearl Street in Port Chester.

The planned move to the village of Port Chester’s building, which was touted as a cost-savings measure for taxpayers, turned out to be a lot more expensive than originally expected. As a result, the village has agreed to modify its lease for the town.

Rye Town Supervisor Joseph Carvin, a Republican, and a small staff of town employees stayed in their offices past May 1, when they originally were planning to move out. With the cost overruns, town officials briefly considered alternatives to moving into the Port Chester building.

“We’re trying to evaluate our options as any private entity would,” Carvin said.

In the end, no option was more appealing than moving to the village municipal building, where state legislators George Latimer and Steve Otis also have their local government offices. The building at 224 S. Grace Church St., has been called a “onestop shopping” government office, with town, village and state offices contained within it.

Rye Town, which contains the villages of Port Chester, Rye Brook and part of Mamaroneck, has become a mostly ministerial government in recent years with most services provided by the villages rather than the town government. As a result, Carvin has called his branch of government an unnecessary layer. He hopes to ultimately dissolve the town altogether.

In recent years, the town has downsized its staff, sold off most of its properties to its villages and remains a full-service government only in its tax collection and court capacities. Although Mamaroneck and Port Chester have their own courts, Rye Brook still relies on Rye Town for its courts. Rye Town Courts will move into space with Port Chester courts on Main Street as part of the sale of Town Hall, part of the move that was more expensive than initial estimates.

Neri’s Bakery, a 100-year-old business across from Town Hall, won a bid to buy Town Hall last year. Neri’s and the nearby

Rye Town Hall

Capitol Theatre plan to convert the Town Hall parking lot into an 850-spot, tiered parking garage. Domenick Neri, owner of the bakery, agreed to let the town government stay in the building until it moved into its new home.

The net cost of the move was originally tagged at $228,000 but end up being roughly $500,000, according to town estimates.

The town also anticipated paying half of the total $50,000 cost to move its courts into the same space with Port Chester’s court, but estimates for that construction are looking like they will be $150,000 total – triple what was initially expected.

The Port Chester board of trustees is expected to vote next month to approve an amended lease with Rye Town based on rent credits to make up for the increased costs. The lease is structured as a 10-year deal, costing slightly more than $30 per square foot of space. Port Chester agreed that if Village Hall is moved at any point during the lease, Port Chester would pro rate additional costs stemming from that move to keep Rye Town’s monthly payments the same. Plans are underway to build a new Village Hall. That caused concern with the town government, which thought that it would have to pay for a second move shortly after setting up shop in a new space.

Town officials expect that they will move out of Town Hall around Columbus Day. Their extended stay at the building will not cost the town government anything as a courtesy from the new landlord, Carvin said.

By selling the property, the currently tax-exempt building will go back on the tax rolls and is expected to generate $65,000 per year in taxes for the town, village, county and Port Chester school district.

MID-YEAR REVIEW: REAL ESTATE, ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT, SOLAR, ENGINEERING, ENVIRONMENTAL

Some things change, some remain the same

BY HOWARD GREENBERG

I

n speaking to office building owners and my fellow real estate brokers, the words I hear to describe the leasing velocity in the first half of 2014 include moderate, slow, anemic and spotty. While there was an uptick in market activity at the very beginning of the year, it quickly dissipated.

As usual, the great majority of the space requirements are intracounty, with a few new inbound tenants. I don’t expect much different for the rest of the year.

WEST SIDE IS HOT Relatively speaking, the west side of

the county is the hot submarket. The Route 119 corridor in Tarrytown is seeing a number of tenants in the market for 15,000 to 20,000 square feet and some requirements that are new to the market.

But it is the nonleasing transactions that happened in the first half of this year that will significantly affect the Westchester market in the future.

In February, Mack-Cali sold off five buildings, totaling approximately 600,000 square feet on the west side of the county to Pennsylvania-based Keystone Property Trust. This will be a game changer in the Route 119 submarket, where Mack-Cali has been a major office-building owner for decades.

However, Keystone has hired the Mack-Cali leasing team to serve as leasing agent for these buildings, so there will be some familiar faces on the leasing side, but they will be answering to a new owner.

Stay tuned for the results, as this is Keystone’s first purchase in our market. It is yet to be seen what capital investments they will make in the properties and how economically competitive they will be in leasing them up.

IN AND OUT There have been some reverberations from recent losses of large tenants. The mortgage on Heritage Realty Services’ 3

Westchester Park Drive (formerly known as 3 Gannett Drive) is in special servicing due to the loss of its anchor tenant, Wilson Elser Moskowitz Edelman & Dicker L.L.P. The county’s largest law firm vacated more than 130,000 square feet in this 160,000-square-foot building and relocated to RPW’s 1133 Westchester Ave. one year ago.

The building at 1311 Mamaroneck Ave. has been purchased from its lender by its former owner Onyx Group due to financial issues with the previous owner.

And some other buildings in the county reportedly are in financial difficulty with their lenders. Distress situations such as these are inevitable in a market where most of the leasing activity involves existing tenants moving from one building to another. There are only so many tenants in the county, and the buildings that lose their existing tenants will struggle to release the vacated space, and spend a lot of money and downtime to do so.

SOME BIG INVESTMENTS In the largest lease of the first half, MBIA leased 85,000 square feet at Centre at Purchase, and is putting its more than 250,000-square-foot nearby office campus up for sale. It will be interesting to see who steps up to purchase it, as logic would dictate that it would be a corporate owner/user rather than an investor. This lease brings the Centre at Purchase to 90 percent occupancy. Its owner has spent significant dollars upgrading an already class A facility after its loss of Diversified Investors Services in 2011 and has deserv-

edly attracted new tenants to backfill that space and more.

In a recent announcement, Mack-Cali said that it will make significant capital investments in a number of its remaining properties in the White Plains central business district and other submarkets.

Normandy Partners is also spending money to upgrade its buildings, as is Faros Properties. These investments are crucial for owners to make in our commoditized market, in order to distinguish their buildings from their competition.

well received.

In short, leasing velocity is slow, absorption is down and the traditionally slower summer season is now here. Some real estate professionals have confidence that things will pick up a bit in the second half of the year. But there is no clear trend (other than health care) indicating any significant resurgence of demand. We are again in a period where there are few large blocks of space available, which can hinder any potential large relocations into Westchester. That is the long way of saying that very little has changed in the office leasing market in 2014.

Howard E. Greenberg is the president of Howard Properties Ltd. in White Plains. He can be reached at howard@howprop.com or 914-997-0300.

The many new hospital alliances should continue to push medical offices out into the communities. There are already requirements in the market and this is anticipated to continue as virtually all local hospitals ally themselves with major New York area institutions. These will likely impact both the office and retail space markets.

CREATING A NEW MIX Residential projects continue to move slowly forward, repurposing land in our corporate parks.

Reportedly, Avalon is out and Toll Brothers is in on the 103/105 Corporate Park Drive site, and there is a residential developer in place for a part of the 1133 Westchester Ave. site. When these buildings actually get constructed, they will be the first test of how marketable multifamily residential in a business park setting will be. If the proper amenities and services are included, they could attract some young professionals now living in New York City and the White Plains CBD. These would be the first live/work/play environments in Westchester and could be a big boost to our county if they are WCBJ • July 14, 2014

Premier Accounting Firm Serving the Cooperative and Condominium Community and Real Estate Industry for over 50 years

BY MARK LUNGARIELLO mlungariello@westfairinc.com

A

fire started late one night a quarter century ago in the basement of an old village of Mamaroneck watering hole called The Town House, spreading quickly through the mostly wooden bar and into a couple of neighboring buildings. When the flames died down, all that was left where the three buildings had stood was a multi-acre hole on Mamaroneck Avenue, in the heart of the village’s downtown.

That hole remained for more than six years, as the property switched hands and developers several times while residents increasingly groaned about what they considered a very visible eyesore.

Mayor Norman Rosenblum said the village won’t let that happen again. “For me it has to do with marketing,” he said. “It has a negative impact (on downtown business) that just perpetuates itself.”

The village board of trustees updated its zoning code June 23, adding a provision that says property owners in the central business district can’t get a demolition permit until they already have approvals in place for any new construction.

Rosenblum said the law will protect the “aesthetic integrity” of the business district by preventing developers from knocking down an existing building until they are ready to break ground on its replacement.

In short, there won’t be another downtown hole.

The Town House hole, where the Regatta condominiums now stand, is a favorite example used by village officials to illustrate what the new law could prevent. Yet, that situation – stemming not from a lag between demolition and building permits but rather from a fire – wouldn’t have been prevented by the new law.

What some residents said the new provision may try to prevent though – or at least delay – is the conversion of the former village movie theater into a condominium complex in the center of Mamaroneck’s main drag on Mamaroneck Avenue.

Bow Tie Cinemas L.L.C. closed the 89-year-old Mamaroneck Playhouse in April and told village officials it planned to knock down most of the former theater and replace it with a condominium building with more than 30 units. The marquee and façade would be kept intact for aesthetic purposes.

Mamaroneck officials initially expected Bow Tie to apply for a demolition permit in June,

but no permit has been filed.

The mayor said he has reached out to Bow Tie management and set up meetings to discuss the company’s plans, with the hope of retaining at least part of the building as a theater or cultural center. The company has not responded, Rosenblum said.

The mayor said the new law had nothing to do with Bow Tie’s condo plan. The law defines the central business district as the area on Mamaroneck Avenue stretching from Boston Post Road to the railroad tracks parallel with Halstead Avenue, which is where the theater is located. The zoning code allows for residential development there.

“This is still America,” Rosenblum said.

“If you own a piece of property you should be able to develop it within the existing process.”

Bob Galvin, the village planner, noted municipalities have similar laws in place, including Pleasantville and Mount Kisco.

Galvin told the Business Journal the new law did not, in effect, change the processes of obtaining a demolition permit and applying for a construction permit. He said it simply consolidated the processes, which go though Planning Board. Such laws, he said, prevent a downtown from falling into neglect, and in Mamaroneck’s case it protects a thriving strip of businesses aesthetically and by ensuring continuing foot traffic.

“We want to continue the look and feel, the walking environment and not have gaps in the streetscape,” he said.

Although officials say the new law wasn’t put in place to stop any potential conversion of the former movie theater, residents still lament the loss of the cinema as the village losing part of its history. Peter Fellows, of the Mamaroneck Historical Society, said during a recent appearance on local access station LMC-TV, “It’s like waking up one morning and not having any memory past last week who you are.”
