COMMUNICATIONS 1. Letter, Benjamin I. Taylor, Attorney re: Block 325, Parcel 81 A letter addressed to the Board by Benjamin I. Taylor, Attorney, under date of April 25th, 1973, re Block 325, Parcel 81 was read into the minutes as follows: "We have had an informal hearing before the Planning Board with reference to the proposed subdivision of the above numbered parcel. A copy of the preliminary subdivision is enclosed herewith. Your attention is invited to the fact that Deerfield Lane is a private roadway with permanent easements to the person using the same. In order to accomplish this subdivision, we respectfully request that you designate the bed of Deerfield Lane as a private easement and the subdivision as an open area development in accord- ___ ance with Section 280-a(4) of the Town Law. In this way, the subdivision plan can be approved and building permits issued for the plot of land front- ing the same as well as an approval of the existing building which will, if the subdivision is approved, face only Deerfield Lane. - 5 - New plans are being prepared and we will submit copies of the same to the Town Clerk no later than Tuesday, May 1st, 1973. Will you kindly place this on your agenda for your next meeting which we understand will be held Wednesday, May 2nd, 1973 at 8:00 p.m." The Supervisor addressed Mr. Taylor inquiring whether he would like to say anything further regarding this proposal inasmuch as under the section of the law quoted this Board could take only the action defined therein which was to refer the matter to the Planning Board. Mr. Taylor thanked Mrs. Helwig and stated that he would add only that it was his understanding that the Planning Board in making a recommendation to this Board could recommend in favor of the proposal or not recommend in its -favor if it determined that the road must be improved so as to meet standard requirements for Town acceptance -- the financing of which in this instance, he said, would be an economic hardship. Councilmen Bloom and White then entered into a discussion of the various technicalities under law involved in this proposal, with Mr. Bloom questioning this type of zoning in general with which he stated he was not at all familiar, and Councilman White pointing out rather definitely that while this Board would refer the matter to the Planning Board this would not in any way mean that this Board itself indicated taking any stand whatsoever as to whether it might favor or disfavor the proposal upon receipt of recommenda- tion from the Planning Board. Mrs. Theodore Shultz, upon recognition, inquired whether there was a legal definition of 'open development area", --- which question Mr. Taylor and Mr. Bloom both replied to, with Mr. Taylor stating that usually this type of zoning pertained to large tracts of ground such as a 10-acre site with perhaps one-half acre parcels where a developer did not want to put in curbs and drainage, etc. , due to the cost factor; and Councilman Bloom stating that as he saw it, this type of zoning represented the very thing that the zoning ordinances were designed to prevent. Councilman White added that he could not at this time visualize any area in this Town where "open development area" zoning might be applicable. Mr. Taylor further pointed out that there was a hardship in this instance which had been in existence many years due to the fact that this large house with its surrounding three and one-half acres of land was located on a private road with a turn-around, rather than on a Town accepted street or highway. This led Councilman White to observe that as he understood it, this undeveloped road that now served two families, if this proposal were approved, would be used to serve four and possibly five families -- the wisdom of which, he said, he would certainly question from the information he had at this time. The Supervisor then questioned whether this road provided the only ccess to the two rear y parcels since she understood that there was another road in the Village of Mamaroneck that had access to other properties adjacent to this area, to which question Mr. Taylor replied that he believed only this road would give the access needed for the property in this proposal. And thereupon since there was no further discussion, on - 6 - motion by Councilman Faiola, seconded by Councilman White, it was unanimously RESOLVED, that this Board hereby refers to the Planning Board for its study, report and recom- mendations to this Board, the proposal concerning Block 325, Parcel 81 as defined and delineated in communication dated April 25th, 1973, and herein- above quoted. 2. Letter, Meighan and Necarsulmer re Construction of Three One Family Houses, Laurel Avenue The Clerk presented a letter addressed to the Board by Meighan and Necarsulmer under date of May 1st, 1973 which read as follows : "We represent Joseph Carducci of Mamaroneck who is purchasing vacant land on Laurel Avenue in the Town of Mamaroneck which property is more fully described in the description hereto annexed. Mr. Carducci desires to construct three one- family residences on the above property. Among other necessary approvals, he needs the Town Board's permission for an extension of Laurel Avenue at a width of 25 feet adjacent to the above property. You will recall that the Town Board, several years ago, gave similar permission to Mr. Carducci for a previous extension of Laurel Avenue. We would appreciate very much having this con- sidered by your Board at its next regular meeting." The Supervisor addressed the Engineer inquiring whether this matter had not been before the Planning Board? He replied that it had but that no recommendations had been made because of the requested extension of Laurel Avenue at a width of only 25 feet. Councilman Faiola then stated for the record that at the time the last extension of Laurel Avenue at a 25 foot width had been approved, he believed that both the Fire Chief and Police Chief were to have been consulted regarding facil- itation of emergency equipment (fire engines, ambulances, etc.) which had not been done. Therefore he requested now that written statements attesting to the adequacy of the proposed extension to accommodate such emergency equipment be filed by both the Fire Chief and Police Chief prior to the approval of any further extension, with which request all ©f the members of the Board concurred. Mr. Carducci, the applicant who was present, assured the Board that this would be the last extension requested. Whereupon the Supervisor suggested since the Board did not at this time have the necessary information to act on this request that it be referred to the Planning Board for - 7 - study and recommendation to this Board including a summary of the history of the former request and the written state- ments of the Police Chief and Fire Chief which was thereupon so ordered by unanimous vote of the Board on a motion offered by Councilman Faiola and seconded by Councilman Vandernoot. 3. Proclamation - May as Senior Citizens Month Pursuant to a letter hereby presented from the New York State Executive Department Office for the Aging under date of April 25th, 1973 requesting that May be proclaimed as Senior Citizens' Month in the Town of Mamaroneck, on motion by Councilman White, seconded by Councilman Bloom, it was unanimously RESOLVED, that pursuant to Governor Rockefeller's request the Supervisor be and she hereby is auth- orized to proclaim the month of May as Senior Citizens ' Month in the Town of Mamaroneck. 4. Letter of Resignation Mrs. J. A. Donnelly, Jr. Park Commission A letter addressed to the Supervisor by Mrs. James A. Donnelly, Jr. of 4 Wagon Wheel Road, Town, tendering her resignation as a member of the Board of Park Commissioners because of moving away from the community was herewith presented and ordered received and filed. Each of the members of the Board expressed their regret and paid tribute to Mrs. Donnelly for her many contributions to this community during the ten years she had served with such dedication and ability and on motion unanimously made and seconded, adopted the following resolution to be spread upon the minutes of this meeting in public tribute to her: WHEREAS, Mrs. James A. Donnelly, Jr. , a member of the Board of Park Commissioners of Park District No. 1 of the Town of Mamaro- neck since her appointment on November 14th, 1962, has tendered her resignation, effective as of June 1st, 1973, because she is leaving our community; and WHEREAS, during all of these ten years, she has served the Commission and the Town with great distinction; and WHEREAS, she has given freely of her time and talents and contributed much both to the beauty and usefulness of our parks which are enjoyed by our residents and admired by all who visit our Town; 8 _ NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the Town Board of the Town of Mamaroneck records its appreciation of the distinguished service and many contri- butions Mrs. Donnelly has made to this community and its residents through her long and able service as a member of our Park Commission; and be it further RESOLVED, that this resolution be spread upon the minutes of this meeting as a public record of tribute to her:, and that a copy thereof be forwarded to Mrs. Donnelly with the thanks and gratitude of this Board and very best wishes to her in her new home and community. 5. Request of Mamaroneck High School G.A. - Use of Voting Machines Pursuant to the request of the Mamaroneck High School G.A. Elections Committee presented by the Clerk and herewith ordered received and filed for the record, on motion by Councilman White, seconded by Councilman Vandernoot, it was unanimously RESOLVED, that this Board hereby grants the request of the Board of Education for the use of voting machines on Friday, May 4th, 1973. 6. Notice of Application for Permit by Westchester County to New York State Department of Environmental Conservation An application by the County of Westchester to the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation for a permit to place sand and gravel in the waters of Long Island Sound in order to restore a protective covering for a 54 inch outfall pipe located in Mamaroneck Harbor east of Harbor Island was presented and in accordance with the Supervisor's suggestion, it was unanimously directed that this matter be referred to Mr. Clifford E. Emanuelson, Conservation Consult- ant, for his attention and to Mr. Thomas Amlicke for his information. 7. Notice of Hearing - New Rochelle Zoning Board of Appeals - Ford Leasing Development Company Mr. Johnston explained that this had to do with an application - 9 - to the City of New Rochelle by the Ford Leasing Develop- ment Company for a special permit to erect a new auto show- room addition at the front of an existing auto sales struc- ture and to erect an adjacent parking deck addition over an accessory used car sales lot on premises mainly located in New Rochelle with a small part of the property used for parking located in the Town. - Mr. Johnston further explained that a variance had been applied for for the portion of the parking deck which would be in the Town and that the matter was rightly before -- the Zoning Board which had deferred any action thereon pending the action of the City of New Rochelle at the May 8th hearing. 8. Notice of Hearing - Village of Mamaroneck Swimming Pool - 314 Chestnut Avenue The Attorney advised the Board that this was an application for a swimming pool in the Village of Mamaroneck and that no action was required by this Board whereupon this notice, which was sent as a matter of courtesy, was ordered received and filed for the record. 9. Notice of Hearing - P.S.C. Con Edison - Harrison Transmission Facility The Attorney explained that this notice of hearing before the P.S.C. on May 16th, 1973 was for an application by Con Edison to authorize the construction of two 138 Kv under- ground feeders to connect the Elmsford, White Plains and Harrison substations and it was ordered received and filed for the record. In reply to the Supervisor's question of whether this affected our local situation, Mr. Johnston said that the only question might be one of alternate routes which would be discussed at the hearing and that no indication was given in the notice of ,where or what might be involved. The Supervisor then requested the Engineer to follow up on this matter to see if the Town might be involved in any way, which Mr. Elfreich said he would do. 10. Notice of Hearing - P.S.C. Rules and Regulations - Electric Service Mr. Johnston stated that this was a notice of hearing to be held on Con Edison's application for electric rule change at the World Trade Center, Tower 2, New York, New York, on Wednesday, May 23rd, 1973 at 1:30 p.m. and it was ordered received and filed for the record. THE SUPERVISOR In reply to the Supervisor's question as to whether anyone wished to bring any matter to the Board's attention, Mrs. Franc Roggeri of 49 Sheldrake Avenue asked what was going on on Weaver Street, up past the Scarsdale Town line? The Engineer replied that this was a County job and that it - 10 - 2R2 terminated at the Town of Mamaroneck line inasmuch as under an agreement between Scarsdale and the County, the County made improvements on that portion of Weaver Street lying within the Town of Scarsdale. Mrs. Theodore Shultz then asked why the County did for Scarsdale what it would not do for the Town? The Engineer stated that he could not answer but could only reiterate that there was an agreement in existence with Scarsdale and the County under which this improvement was being made by the County. REPORTS The Town Clerk -- The Clerk presented the following reports which were ordered received and filed: Report of the Town Clerk for the month of April 1973. Report of the Receiver of Taxes and Assess- ments for the month of April 1973. Report of the Building and Plumbing Inspector for the month of April 1973. Report of the Municipal Dog Patrol for the month of April 1973. Report of the Westchester Shore Humane Society, Inc. for the month of April 1973. Mr. Gronberg also reported on the overnight parking permits issued as of this date. He stated that there had been 37 renewals and 11 new quarterly permits issued in addition to the 2 annual permits issued originally. Mrs. Theodore Shultz, upon recognition, in connection with the report of the Receiver of Taxes just presented by the Clerk, inquired whether the banks paid the taxes on time? The Supervisor replied that to the best of her knowledge, banks did forward such monies promptly so as to avoid pay- ing any penalties and added that in turn this served the Town well as that portion of funds not immediately needed was invested as quickly as possible in Certificates of Deposit. The Supervisor -- 1. Letter, �'Mr. Eldred Rich N. Y. S. Department of Environmental Conservation The Supervisor presented a letter addressed to her by Eldred 'Rich, Chief of the Bureau of Water Management, New York State Department of Environmental Conservation, under date of April 17th, 1973 which read as follows: - 11 - This letter is to confirm your telephone conversation with Mr. Kelly, . of this office, relative to funding of the proposed flood protection works for your Village. Under normal circumstances, when the Federal cost of a small flood control project exceeds the $1,000,000 statutory limit, we would suggest that action be taken to have the continuation of the study accomplished under regular Congressional authority, removing the Federal spending ceiling. As discussed, this procedure usually takes much more time. Since there is now a bill before Congress to in- crease the limit from $1,000,000 to $2,000,000, and the Corps report indicates the estimate of Federal cost to be $1,567,000, we would suggest you wait the outcome of this proposed legislation prior to making the decision to pursue continuation of the study under the Westchester County Streams Study Authority." Mrs. Helwig referred to the Interim Reconnaissance Report received previously from the Army Corps of Engineers and advised that she had called Mr. Kelly of Mr. Rich's Depart- ment at that time inasmuch as he had been the person who had gotten the Town in touch with the Army Engineers. She further stated that she felt that the Town should follow Mr. Rich's advice to defer any action pending the outcome of the so-called Omnibus Bill, with which the Board con- curred. 2. Report on Increased State Aid The Supervisor reported the receipt of additional State Aid in the amount of $40,985.25 quarterly Town-wide and $9,849.25 quarterly for Town Outside Villages which exceeded the 1973 budgetary figure by approximately almost 18% and resulted in State Aid to the residents of the Unincorporated Area of $8.27 per capita versus $8.07 which would have been received under the proposal of the State Conference of Mayors. 3.

He stated that a bill which had been introduced was in the Assembly Ways and Means Committee proposing some $40,000,000. funding and further that Senator Pisani had introduced a bill in the Senate that would take care of Westchester County. He noted that other areas that had C.A.P. programs were being asked to introduce similar bills and concluded his remarkes by stating that the meet- ing had veen very pleasant and certainly the delegation had been very well received.
