OLD BUSINESS
1. Winthrop-Plymouth Dead-end
The Supervisor explained that a petition had been received
- 2 -
at the last meeting of the Board from certain of the residents
on Winthrop Avenue and Plymouth Road requesting that Winthrop
Avenue be dead-ended.
She further stated that at a meeting on the site attended by
Department Heads, State Department of Transportation officials,
and some residents of the area, the State had indicated it
would not object to the proposal, and therefore the Engineer-
ing Department had started its work to implement the request.
She then asked the Attorney what legal steps were involved
in such a procedure, whereupon he advised that a public
hearing must be held and the Board then determine whether or
not it would be in the best interest of the health, welfare
and safety of the community to dead-end the street.
He further recounted that compensatory awards would have to
be made to any persons suffering property diminuition, adding
that he had met this afternoon with the Title Guaranty in
order to institute the necessary title searches on the affected
properties. In addition, he stated, it would probably also
be necessary to have appraisals made of the aforesaid affected
properties.
The Supervisor then inquired whether all of these steps could
be taken prior to the August 4th meeting, to which Mr. Johnston
replied there was some question inasmuch as the Title Guaranty
was unable to give him any definite assurance that it could
complete all of this work within that time.
Councilman Faiola questioned the Attorney's statement that
compensatory awards must be made, asking whether this would
not depend on the results of the title searches and determin-
ations made -- which the Attorney said was so.
The Supervisor then asked whether there were any further
questions from the Board and since not, recognized Mr. and
Mrs. DiFiore, Mr. Fuhrmann, and other residents of the area
who were present inquiring whether anyone wished to address
the Board at this time?
Mr. Fuhrmann asked where the proposed plan could be reviewed,
whereupon Mrs. Helwig explained that the plan had not been
finished until 5 o'clock thus prohibiting duplication for
this meeting. However, she continued, copies would be
made and forwarded to the residents.
And thereupon since there were no further questions, the Chair
inquired the Board's pleasure in fixing a date for the public
hearing, whereupon on a motion offered by Councilman Nagel
and seconded by Councilman Vandernoot, it was unanimously
RESOLVED, that a public hearing will be held
before this Board at its next regular meeting on
Wednesday evening, August 4th, 1971, in the Council
Room or Auditorium of the Weaver Street Firehouse,
Weaver Street, Town of Mamaroneck, at 8:15 p.m of
that day, for the purpose of considering the re-
quest to dead-end Winthrop Avenue;
and be it further
RESOLVED, that the Clerk be and he hereby is

of the Town of Mamaroneck, "The Daily Times",
Notice of such Hearing as required by law.

NEW BUSINESS
1. Proposed Ordinance - Sale of Air Guns,
Spring Guns and Slingshots
The Supervisor read the text of the proposed Ordinance
prohibiting the sale of air guns, spring guns, slingshots or
other such instruments propelling a missile, stating that each
member of the Board had been furnished a copy. She also
noted the existing Ordinance regarding discharge of firearms,
and pointed out the differences between the proposed Ordinance
and the existing one.
She further stated that a question regarding the proposed
Ordinance had been raised by one member of the Board who
had asked why an Ordinance identical to that of Larchmont
Village could not be adopted by the Town, explaining that
the Village Ordinance did not cover the purpose of the pro-
posed Ordinance as shown by the underlined material which
was new.
Upon recognition, Mrs. Rhoda Krell, President of the Central
School Parent-Teacher Association, addressed the Board stat-
ing that they had been made aware of this need from windows
broken by shooting pellets from slingshots at the Central
School, aid that they had tracked down where these were sold
finding that they could be bought in only one store in the
entire community with that particular store located in the
Unincorporated Area, adding that they were indeed happy that
this Ordinance was before the Board so promptly.
Mr. Richard J. Martinetti of 8 Winthrop Avenue, upon recogni-
tion, addressed the Board observing that the Town had an
Ordinance prohibiting the discharge of firearms and whether,
if the proposed Ordinance were adopted, it would be the same
as the Gun Control Act meaning that a permit would have to
be issued to possess such weapons?
Councilman Bloom observed that he thought something needed
to be done about the wording since if permits were necessary,
there were no provisions for their issuance incorporated in
the text of this Ordinance as submitted.
Councilman Nagel suggested that the proposed Ordinance be
tabled in favor of further study, adding that he would very
much like to see the same Ordinance adopted in the Town as
existed in the Village of Larchmont.
The Supervisor pointed out that since the Larchmont Ordinance
- 7 -
did not contain certain wording needed for the Town, its
Ordinance would have to be amended to make it applicable to
the Town's situation, adding that she did not like to delay
the hearing past the next meeting of the Board since this
might defer action past school opening.
Councilman Faiola stated that he did not wish to have the Board
rush into this and that he agreed with Councilman Nagel that
the matter be tabled, whereupon Councilman Nagel moved that
this be tabled until the next meeting of the Board with an
immediate conference set up with the Village of Larchmont.
The motion was seconded by Councilman Faiola.
Mrs. Krell, upon recognition by the Chair, spoke to this
motion reminding the Board that Larchmont Village did not
have this problem which existed only in the Town, and there-
fore urging that action be taken before the reopening of school.
The Supervisor thanked Mrs. Krell and since there were no
further comments, inquired whether the Board was ready for
the question, whereupon the following resolution was offered.
RESOLVED, that the matter of the adoption of the
proposed Ordinance which prohibits the storage,
possession, sale, use or discharge of airguns,
spring guns, slingshots or instruments or
weapons which propel a missile be tabled until
the next meeting of the Board on August 4th,
1971, pending further study and conference with the
Village of Larchmont re adoption of an identical
Ordinance for the Town and that Village.
The foregoing resolution was adopted by majority vote of the
Board with Councilmen Nagel, Faiola, Vandernoot and Bloom
voting Aye, and Supervisor Helwig voting naye.

COMMUNICATIONS
1. C.E.Q. Petition
re: Municipal Collection of Paper
The Supervisor stated that all members of the Board had
received a copy of the communication addressed to her
by Citizens for Environmental Quality, dated June 24th,
1971, herewith ordered received and filed, regarding the
installation of a newspaper recycling program.
She stated further that the Board would be very glad to
recognize anyone present who was interested in speaking
on this, whereupon Mrs. Hockman, speaking for Walter Coupe
Chairman of C.E.Q. , asked what the Board was going to do
and when?
The Supervisor referred the question to the Highway Super-
intendent, Mr. Aitchison, who stated that he was working
with Mr. Kellogg of the Village of Larchmont and it was
hoped a once-a-month collection could be started some time
next month.
Mrs. Hockman explained why the paper collection had been
requested and said that members of C.E.Q. would be very
glad to assist the program in any way possible.
The Supervisor thanked Mrs. Hockman and said that she thought
that C. E. Q. could be of invaluable help by conducting an
educational program.
Councilman Bloom asked how residents would be notified, to
which the Supervioor replied that she believed that notices
could be sent by the Highway Department (just as they had
always been on collection information) and through the press.
Mr. Bloom said that he felt strongly that fliers hand-delivered
by the Sanitation men would certainly be needed prior to begin-
ning such a program.
Mr. Herbert Golden recited that there were presently some
eight municipalities engaged in separate pickups and that
it was felt the degree of success in each case depended on
how much communication took place, reciting as an example
New Rochelle where the program was very feeble possibly
- 15 -
Al
due to its publication only by fliers distributed by high
school students and the press -- adding that certainly
C.E.Q. would do whatever possible to assist in publicizing
the Town program.
In reply to a question as to where the paper would be sold
Mr. Aitchison stated that he believed the market had to be
found but he thought the closest one at present was in
Yonkers,
-- The Supervisor closed the discussion by stating that the
Board would keep in touch with C.E.Q. and expressing its
thanks and appreciation to that organization for its offer
of help.
2. Announcement - Office for Local Government
Regional Meetings, White Plains City Hall,
July 16th, 1971

ordinator for the Narcotics Guidance Council's

ulate you upon your swift and commendable action."

Board inquiring on the status of the Joint Municipal Survey
report?

held last Saturday and that all three municipalities were
working toward the release of a report in the near future.
Not on Agenda
Councilman Faiola --
1. Radio Equipment for Highway
Councilman Faiola advised the Board that since it had
authorized advertising for bids for the necessary radio
equipment for the Highway cars at the last meeting, he had
learned that it was possible to lease such equipment which
he understood became the property of the lessee upon the
expiration of a certain rental period. Since the specifi-
cations for such equipment necessary for bids had been
found to be extremely complicated, he requested authorization
for rental thereof subject to the Attorney's approval.
Councilman Bloom asked whether he was correct in understand-
ing that after leasing such equipment for a certain period
of time, it became the property of the lessee? Councilman
Faiola replied that this was what he had been told but would
defer to the Attorney for further information about the
- 23 -

proposed rental.
OTHER BUSINESS
Mr. Irving Scharf - 334 Richbell Road
Mr. Scharf, upon recognition, addressed the Board inquiring
whether the Mamaroneck High School Band was asked to partici-

The Supervisor replied that she was not at all certain but
that she did know that the rainy weather in Mamaroneck
on the day of the scheduled parade had prohibited some of
the participants from marching.
Mr. Augustine W. Di Fiore - 18 Winthrop Avenue
Mr. Di Fiore, upon recognition, inquired of the Board
whether any recommendations had been received from the

as yet but it was understood that such recommendations
were presently being drawn up.

The Supervisor reported that the Clerk had before him the

that, on advice of the Town Attorney, the said bids would
be returned unopened due to an illegal area-limit clause
set forth in the specifications. She further stated that

in the Supervisor's office:
BIDDERS BID
Calcagni Construction Co. , Inc. $37,602.00
Salvatore Micelli 87,755.00
Felix Contracting Corp. 49,235.00
The Supervisor inquired whether the Board wished to follow
the usual course in awarding this bid, whereupon the Town
Attorney called to the Board's attention that the low
bidder must agree to waive the extra work section of the
specifications prior to any award of contract.
And thereupon on motion by Councilman Faiola, seconded
by Councilman Bloom, it was unanimously
RESOLVED, that this Board hereby accepts the
bid of the low bidder, to-wit that of Calcagni
Construction Co. , Inc., in the amount of
$37,602.00, for installation of approximately
200 linear feet of sewer to replace an existing

the Notice for Bids, provided that said bidder,
namely, Calcagni Construction Co. , Inc., agrees
to waive the item captioned "extra work" on
page 9 of the specifications, and provided that
upon examination by the Engineer, Attorney,
Highway Superintendent and Comptroller, said
bid is found to be satisfactory in all respects;
and be it further
RESOLVED, the Clerk be and he hereby is directed
to return the bid checks or bid bonds to all
except the successful bidder.
For the record, it was noted that the correct bid check
or bond and the non-collusive statement was signed by

OLD BUSINESS
1. Winthrop-Plymouth Dead-end
The Supervisor explained that a petition had been received
- 2 -
at the last meeting of the Board from certain of the residents
on Winthrop Avenue and Plymouth Road requesting that Winthrop
Avenue be dead-ended.
She further stated that at a meeting on the site attended by
Department Heads, State Department of Transportation officials,
and some residents of the area, the State had indicated it
would not object to the proposal, and therefore the Engineer-
ing Department had started its work to implement the request.
She then asked the Attorney what legal steps were involved
in such a procedure, whereupon he advised that a public
hearing must be held and the Board then determine whether or
not it would be in the best interest of the health, welfare
and safety of the community to dead-end the street.
He further recounted that compensatory awards would have to
be made to any persons suffering property diminuition, adding
that he had met this afternoon with the Title Guaranty in
order to institute the necessary title searches on the affected
properties. In addition, he stated, it would probably also
be necessary to have appraisals made of the aforesaid affected
properties.
The Supervisor then inquired whether all of these steps could
be taken prior to the August 4th meeting, to which Mr. Johnston
replied there was some question inasmuch as the Title Guaranty
was unable to give him any definite assurance that it could
complete all of this work within that time.
Councilman Faiola questioned the Attorney's statement that
compensatory awards must be made, asking whether this would
not depend on the results of the title searches and determin-
ations made -- which the Attorney said was so.
The Supervisor then asked whether there were any further
questions from the Board and since not, recognized Mr. and
Mrs. DiFiore, Mr. Fuhrmann, and other residents of the area
who were present inquiring whether anyone wished to address
the Board at this time?
Mr. Fuhrmann asked where the proposed plan could be reviewed,
whereupon Mrs. Helwig explained that the plan had not been
finished until 5 o'clock thus prohibiting duplication for
this meeting. However, she continued, copies would be
made and forwarded to the residents.
And thereupon since there were no further questions, the Chair
inquired the Board's pleasure in fixing a date for the public
hearing, whereupon on a motion offered by Councilman Nagel
and seconded by Councilman Vandernoot, it was unanimously
RESOLVED, that a public hearing will be held
before this Board at its next regular meeting on
Wednesday evening, August 4th, 1971, in the Council
Room or Auditorium of the Weaver Street Firehouse,
Weaver Street, Town of Mamaroneck, at 8:15 p.m of
that day, for the purpose of considering the re-
quest to dead-end Winthrop Avenue;
and be it further
RESOLVED, that the Clerk be and he hereby is
- 3 -
authorized to publish in the official newspaper
of the Town of Mamaroneck, "The Daily Times",
Notice of such Hearing as required by law.
2. Authorization for Additional Costs -

ization for additional costs in curbing on Old White Plains

of 140 linear feet of additional curbing on
Old White Plains Road, based on the unit

NEW BUSINESS
1. Proposed Ordinance - Sale of Air Guns,
Spring Guns and Slingshots
The Supervisor read the text of the proposed Ordinance
prohibiting the sale of air guns, spring guns, slingshots or
other such instruments propelling a missile, stating that each
member of the Board had been furnished a copy. She also
noted the existing Ordinance regarding discharge of firearms,
and pointed out the differences between the proposed Ordinance
and the existing one.
She further stated that a question regarding the proposed
Ordinance had been raised by one member of the Board who
had asked why an Ordinance identical to that of Larchmont
Village could not be adopted by the Town, explaining that
the Village Ordinance did not cover the purpose of the pro-
posed Ordinance as shown by the underlined material which
was new.
Upon recognition, Mrs. Rhoda Krell, President of the Central
School Parent-Teacher Association, addressed the Board stat-
ing that they had been made aware of this need from windows
broken by shooting pellets from slingshots at the Central
School, aid that they had tracked down where these were sold
finding that they could be bought in only one store in the
entire community with that particular store located in the
Unincorporated Area, adding that they were indeed happy that
this Ordinance was before the Board so promptly.
Mr. Richard J. Martinetti of 8 Winthrop Avenue, upon recogni-
tion, addressed the Board observing that the Town had an
Ordinance prohibiting the discharge of firearms and whether,
if the proposed Ordinance were adopted, it would be the same
as the Gun Control Act meaning that a permit would have to
be issued to possess such weapons?
Councilman Bloom observed that he thought something needed
to be done about the wording since if permits were necessary,
there were no provisions for their issuance incorporated in
the text of this Ordinance as submitted.
Councilman Nagel suggested that the proposed Ordinance be
tabled in favor of further study, adding that he would very
much like to see the same Ordinance adopted in the Town as
existed in the Village of Larchmont.
The Supervisor pointed out that since the Larchmont Ordinance
- 7 -
did not contain certain wording needed for the Town, its
Ordinance would have to be amended to make it applicable to
the Town's situation, adding that she did not like to delay
the hearing past the next meeting of the Board since this
might defer action past school opening.
Councilman Faiola stated that he did not wish to have the Board
rush into this and that he agreed with Councilman Nagel that
the matter be tabled, whereupon Councilman Nagel moved that
this be tabled until the next meeting of the Board with an
immediate conference set up with the Village of Larchmont.
The motion was seconded by Councilman Faiola.
Mrs. Krell, upon recognition by the Chair, spoke to this
motion reminding the Board that Larchmont Village did not
have this problem which existed only in the Town, and there-
fore urging that action be taken before the reopening of school.
The Supervisor thanked Mrs. Krell and since there were no
further comments, inquired whether the Board was ready for
the question, whereupon the following resolution was offered.
RESOLVED, that the matter of the adoption of the
proposed Ordinance which prohibits the storage,
possession, sale, use or discharge of airguns,
spring guns, slingshots or instruments or
weapons which propel a missile be tabled until
the next meeting of the Board on August 4th,
1971, pending further study and conference with the
Village of Larchmont re adoption of an identical
Ordinance for the Town and that Village.
The foregoing resolution was adopted by majority vote of the
Board with Councilmen Nagel, Faiola, Vandernoot and Bloom
voting Aye, and Supervisor Helwig voting naye.

COMMUNICATIONS
1. C.E.Q. Petition
re: Municipal Collection of Paper
The Supervisor stated that all members of the Board had
received a copy of the communication addressed to her
by Citizens for Environmental Quality, dated June 24th,
1971, herewith ordered received and filed, regarding the
installation of a newspaper recycling program.
She stated further that the Board would be very glad to
recognize anyone present who was interested in speaking
on this, whereupon Mrs. Hockman, speaking for Walter Coupe
Chairman of C.E.Q. , asked what the Board was going to do
and when?
The Supervisor referred the question to the Highway Super-
intendent, Mr. Aitchison, who stated that he was working
with Mr. Kellogg of the Village of Larchmont and it was
hoped a once-a-month collection could be started some time
next month.
Mrs. Hockman explained why the paper collection had been
requested and said that members of C.E.Q. would be very
glad to assist the program in any way possible.
The Supervisor thanked Mrs. Hockman and said that she thought
that C. E. Q. could be of invaluable help by conducting an
educational program.
Councilman Bloom asked how residents would be notified, to
which the Superviosr replied that she believed that notices
could be sent by the Highway Department (just as they had
always been on collection information) and through the press.
Mr. Bloom said that he felt strongly that fliers hand-delivered
by the Sanitation men would certainly be needed prior to begin-
ning such a program.
Mr. Herbert Golden recited that there were presently some
eight municipalities engaged in separate pickups and that
it was felt the degree of success in each case depended on
how much communication took place, reciting as an example
New Rochelle where the program was very feeble possibly
- 15 -
due to its publication only by fliers distributed by high
school students and the press -- adding that certainly
C.E.Q. would do whatever possible to assist in publicizing
the Town program.
In reply to a question as to where the paper would be sold
Mr. Aitchison stated that he believed the market had to be
found but he thought the closest one at present was in
Yonkers.
- The Supervisor closed the discussion by stating that the
Board would keep in touch with C.E.Q. and expressing its
thanks and appreciation to that organization for its offer
of help.
2. Announcement - Office for Local Government

2. Letter from Dr. Norwood
Safety Problems
The Supervisor reviewed a letter addressed to her by
Dr. Norwood, Superintendent of Schools, under date of
June 28th, 1971 requesting the appointment of a member of
the Town's staff who could work with representatives of the
school staff and a representative of both Villages to set
up consistent safety measures in the vicinities of all six
schools, stating that she thought this was indeed a fine
suggestion and that she had spoken to Mr. Gagliardi about
appointing one of the Police Commissioners to so serve.
The only problem being - when the appointee could start since
Commissioner Welty, who had been devoting a large amount of
time to traffic situations and who was probably the person
who would be appointed, was presently out of town and would
not return until the latter part of the summer.
The Supervisor asked Mrs. Krell whether she had any informa-
tion as to when this proposed committee was to start working?
Mrs. Krell replied that she did not even know of this letter,
inquiring about a letter concerning safety problems addressed
to the Supervisor some time ago by the Central School P.T.A.
Mrs. Helwig advised Mrs. Krell that that letter had been
referred to the State and that the Town was awaiting its
report.
Mrs. DiFiore advised the Chair she had just accepted the
Presidency of Sts. John and Paul Parent-Teacher Association
and that she would like to have a representative of that
school on the proposed committee with which suggestion the
Supervisor wholeheartedly agreed.
Councilman Faiola suggested that the Fire Chief be included
in such a committee remarking on the problems at Central
School. The Supervisor thanked Mr. Faiola for his thought-
fulness, remarking that this was also an excellent recommenda-
tion.
3. Authorization - Attend Local

be and they hereby are authorized to attend the
Local Environmental Conservation Workshop in Albany,
New York, on July 13th, 1971, with expenses not to
exceed the sum of $250.
4. Testimony - Wagner Committee
The Supervisor called to the Board's attention that a copy
of her testimony at the Hearing chaired by Robert Wagner
before the Temporary Commission on the Powers of Local
Government, held in White Plains, New York on June 21st,
1971 had been placed in each of their folders for their
information.
She further said that the meeting had been a good one and
that all of the Towns had spoken to the same main point --
the concern of local government about the ever increasing
load on property taxes.
The Councilmen --
Mr. Faiola --
1. Authorization to Advertise for Bids

neck, "The Daily Times", a Notice for Bids, to

Board at 8:15 p.m. on that date for painting

Not on Agenda
2. Proposed Additional Parking Lot
Councilman Faiola referred to the proposed creation of
Municipal Parking Lot No. 4 on Town-owned property in back
of 2222 Boston Post Road, presently under study in response
to a petition of the residents of Alden House Apartments
protesting the recent ticketing of cars parked illegally on
streets in the area.
He asked the Attorney whether the Board could legally designate
this site since it was lighted and improved? The Attorney
replied that it could do so and that no public hearing was
required.
Mrs. William Meister of 9 Hawthorne Road addressed the Board
18 -
in objection to the proposal stating that children from
the area pass the site on route to three schools and would
be endangered by parkers leaving the lot during the morning
rush hour. She stated further that many children use the
lot as a shortcut to school.
Mrs. Krell joined and supported Mrs. Meister in her objections.
Councilmen Faiola and Vandernoot assured both Mrs. Meister and
Mrs. Krell that crossing guards and other safety measures
would be used to protect the children.
The Board then agreed with Councilman Bloom's suggestion
that a questionnaire be sent to apartment dwellers to ascertain
how many car owners would use the parking lot and the time that
most of them would leave it.
The Supervisor explained that Mr. Flynn, the owner of the afore-
said property, had been contacted in regard to providing a walk
to the lot and that she felt once all the details were worked
out that an acceptable solution to a very difficult problem
would be reached on the 4th of August when it was hoped the
additional lot would become an actuality.
Mr. Nagel --
1. Resignation of Stanley Zimmerman

by Stanley E. Zimmerman under date of July 2nd, 1971,
tendering his resignation as a Trustee of the Larchmont

planning during his association with the Library Board and
expressed regret both personal and for the remainder of that
Board over its loss.
Since, he said, this Board has no alternative other than to
accept the resignation, on his motion, seconded by Councilman
Bloom, it was unanimously
RESOLVED, that this Board with great regret, reluctantly
accepts the resignation of Stanley E. Zimmerman as a
Trustee of the Larchmont Library, effective July 2nd,
1971, and expresses to him its great thanks and
appreciation for the contribution he rendered to

Town Attorney --
1. Request of Felix Contracting Corporation
Re Surety Bond
The Attorney presented a letter addressed to the Board by
Felix Contracting Corporation under date of June 18th, 1971,
requesting that the bond on the subdivision property known
as Saxon Glen purchased by Felix Contracting Corporation
from Saxon Development Corporation in 1968 and still in that
name, be cancelled and that a bond of Felix Contracting
Corporation be substituted in a reduced amount to be fixed
by this Board since much of the work in the subdivision had
been completed as of this date.
The Town Attorney and Mr. Feinberg, Attorney for Felix Con-
tracting Corporation whom he introduced at this time, then
recited and reviewed in some detail the peculiar circumstances
leading to this request with the Town Attorney stressing in
concluding these remarks that he felt the whole Board should
rule in this instance in view of its back history and also
since it seemed there might be some question as to subdivision
rights.
Councilman Bloom stated that he felt a survey was needed
- before any determination could be made in order to ascertain
the amount of work actually completed, that still to be
done, etc. , which would certainly be necessary information
to have relative to fixing the amount of a bond. When
questioned as to when the work yet to be done could be
completed, Mr. Feinberg stated that he could not say how
long, but that he would say a reasonable time since it was
the company's intention to move right in and go right ahead
with the completion of all of the improvements.
21 -
Councilman Faiola then observed that in view of some of
the past distressing experiences the Town had had with
builders and in view of the fact that far more information
was needed than was available this evening, he would suggest
that the entire matter be turned over to the Town Attorney
and Town Engineer for study, report and recommendation to
this Board, which he thereupon so moved.
The motion was seconded by Councilman Bloom and unanimously
so ordered.

recommendation and that of the Assessor and Board of Review,
on motion by Councilman Nagel, seconded by Councilman Vander-

of the Board, all members being present and voting aye:

for the year 1971 for taxes of 1972 be discontinued
without costs as against either party;
and be it further
RESOLVED, that all refunds of taxes due by reason
of such reductions be paid without interest;
and be it further
RESOLVED, that the Town Attorney is hereby author-
ized and directed to sign the necessary stipula-
tions to obtain an order of the Supreme Court
providing for such reductions.
It was noted that the Attorney and Assessor, after consultation,
concurred in recommending that the lower figures be stipulated
before the court in these two proceedings so as to avoid the
expenses of a trial.
At this time, Mr. Donald Chapin of 14 Dimitri Place, upon
recognition by the Chair, asked the Attorney if rent control
entered into the lower valuation of these properties?
Mr. Johnston replied that it did play a part in the valuation
of Larchmont Gables where some apartments still were controlled
and cited, as an example, a five-room apartment with garage
privileges now renting for $87.50 a month under rent control.
The Washington Square Apartments, however, he said, were not
under control and the complex was presently in the process of
becoming cooperative, apartments being offered for sale as
leases expired.
In reply to Mr. Chapin's next question as to whether it was
within the power of the Board to limit or control rents in the
community or to modify them so as to eliminate injustices
both to owners of apartments and to private homeowners, Mr. John-
ston said that the Board could implement vacancy decontrol which
was already in effect. Further, he stated, the Town could im-
plement decontrol but only on an all-or-nothing basis since
State Law prohibits any partial decontrol.
Councilman Bloom then observed that he believed this to be
the most important area in which the Town and Village must
work together, particularly after his review of Larchmont's
experience, and Councilman Vandernoot then stated that he
was now working with Neal Doyle, the Assessor, to make an
investigation of the number of people who would be affected and
what the impact of rent decontrol would be. He said he hoped
he would be ready to present a recommendation to the Council
soon.
