Appoint: a) Assessor Neal Doyle Councilman Bloom, after noting that, as he was sure all were aware, the Town's Assessor for many years, Tom Mc Evoy, had retired as of December 31st, stated that the Town had been fortunate enough to find the man, Neal Doyle, Assessor of the Village of Larchmont, to follow him. - 5 - rs . 0 He said that Mr. Doyle, who was a resident of White Plains had served the Village as its Assessor for the past five years and that during these years the Village had indeed been pleased with his discharge of the responsibilities of that office and further, most cooperative in agreeing to share his services in the newly combined Town-Village Assessment Office. Therefore, he said, it was with the greatest pleasure that he moved his appointment. Councilman Vandernoot, in seconding the motion, stated that it was indeed his pleasure and again emphasized how fortunate it was for the Town to be able to share Mr. Doyle with the Village, and thereupon it was unanimously RESOLVED, that this Board hereby appoints Neal Doyle as Assessor of the Town of Mamaroneck to fill the unexpired term of Thomas J. McEvoy, said appoint- ment to be effective as of January 1st, 1971, with an annual compensation of $15,245. beginning as of that date. Councilman Faiola called to attention a previous news release about Mr. Doyle's appointment in which the newly-combined Assessing Office had been described as one small step in the realization of the Joint Survey Committee's goals. He stated that in his opinion, this was not a small but one of the largest steps taken to date, and he highly congratulated Councilman Nagel who had been working along with this Committee on this accomplishment. Councilman Nagel, in replying, stated that while he agreed with everythingCouncilman Faiola had said, he could take no credit since he had had nothing to do with this particular endeavor for which all credit must be given to the Supervisor and Mayor Goldsmith who were directly responsible for bring- ing into being both the combined Office and the Assessor's appointment, and he also noted for the record, the Board's great gratification to the Village Board for its splendid cooperation in this matter. b) Exec.

This honor must be shared with a dedicated staff for whose work I have been accorded altogether too much of the credit. I am certain that this staff will continue its conscientious and diligent coverage of and interest in our town government. I am particularly grateful that you honored me with your presence at the testimonial dinner." 5. Letter - R. W.

Crozier & Associates under date of January 5th, 1971: 17 - "Enclosed please find two copies of a schematic site plan for a Daitch Shopwell supermarket, for which we are the architects. I have marked in color the area of concern. As you can see, we will be paving Harrison Drive, and the town line between Mamaroneck and the Village of Larchmont crosses the proposed new paved area. We have secured approval from the Village of Larchmont for paving and now we will need approval from you. I would appreciate your consideration and action at the earliest possible date. If you have any questions, please call me." It was directed that a copy of this letter be forwarded to the Planning Board for report to this Board. Mr. Irving Scharf of 334 Richbell Road At this time, upon recognition, Mr. Scharf stated that he wished to inquire whether it was not possible for super- market parking lots to be used for parking at least in snow emergencies. Councilman Bloom explained to Mr. Scharf that this particular supermarket was located down at the end of the Village of Larchmont on Palmer Avenue across from Harrison Drive and that only a tiny part of the proposed parking lot was in the Town with the consequence that the matter of the use of the lot would be under the jurisdiction of the Village of Larchmont rather than the Town. Councilman Faiola however said that he felt this suggestion about such usage of supermarket parking lots in general was an excellent one and recommended that it be forwarded to the Planning Board, which was thereupon so ordered. 6.

Mr. Bloom 1. Proposed State Planning and Zoning Law Revision Mr. Bloom referred to the proposed State revisions regarding planning and zoning stating that Mr. Maggini and he had been making a study of the recommendations for legislative changes. He further remarked that about one year ago bills had been proposed which were disturbing in that they had provided the State with over-riding authority and that while there still may be some spate of this type of bill, he felt that the bills now proposed did not provide an over-riding authority except in special cases. He spoke in some detail on the proposed zoning changes stating that if the Town wished to and did adopt the proposed laws, it would have greater flexibility in zoning, i.e. "cluster" z oning in unit development. To have this the Town would have to adopt a new format, in a sense moving backward to when it did have one Board (Planning and Zoning) , rather than the present Planning and Zoning Boards. He also stated that, as he understood it, there was provision for planning on a regional basis with the local municipalities urged but not compelled to follow such a pattern. The Chairman of the present Planning Board, Fred Maggini, he went on to say, had attended several seminars devoted to this and was very much on top of this situation and the Supervisor added that Senator Gioffre was a member of this Committee.
