NEW BUSINESS 1. Appeal from Decision of Building Inspector Special Permit, Reconstruction Chatsworth Gardens - Unit B Memoranda of Building Inspector and Fire Council The Clerk presented the subject Appeal together with memoranda addressed to the Town Board by the Building Inspector and Fire Council under dates of May 15th, 1969 and March 19th, 1969 respectively, which were herewith ordered received and filed as part of the record of this meeting. -2- 7 The Supervisor requested the Fire Chief to comment on the Council's recommendations, whereupon Mr. Condro reviewed each of the 11 suggestions in detail, explaining that after careful study, these had been offered by the Council for the protection and safety of the persons residing in Chatsworth Gardens Unit B. Mrs. Helwig stated that she believed many of the apartment residents, who were attending this evening's meeting at Mr. Mandeville's invitations, were under the mistaken impression that the Town Board and Fire Council were delaying the recon- struction of the damaged building - and that for this reason, she had requested the Building Inspector to prepare a sum- marization of the proceedings in chronological order from the date of the fire on March 12th to this date, which was then presented for the information of all present and ordered re- ceived and filed for the record. Supplementing this report, the Building Inspector noted that of the 86 units damaged by the fire, 21 had been damaged only to a minor degree thus requiring no permit for reconstruction. Of these, he said, he believed there were some 10 or 11 which were well under way with replacement of flooring and patching and replacing of ceilings and walls, and were awaiting only completion of the reinstallation of the electrical equipment in this section of the building to be ready for occupancy. The Supervisor then observed that this was the first time any request had come before this Board, and that she believed the Building Inspector's summarization showed the Town's effort to get compliance with the State Building standards for the protection of life and property, and that the Town was just as anxious as the owners to proceed with the recon- struction. This was emphasized by the Town attorney who, in reply to her question of whether he had any comment, stated only that the Town in making every effort to protect the tneants in accordance with the applicable laws pertaining to such reconstruction, was desirous of having the work proceed under the State Fire standards. She then invited any who wished to do so address the Board --whereupon the following persons were heard: Mr. Owen A. Mandeville, Jr. - Managing Agent for the Property Mr. Mandeville addressed the Board at some length enumerating the following points: 1. that receipt of the Supervisor's letter of May 5th listing the conditions requested by the Fire Council was news to him as of the date of receipt of same; 2. that on April 10th, the Management had been advised that there would have to be changes in the type of construction of the 7th floor walls and ceilings, which were understandable and had been complied with; 3. that on April 16th, plans for the reconstruction had been submitted to the Building Inspector; 4. that on April 24th, the architects and engineers were requested to include in the plans means of access to the prop- erty as set forth in items N. 3 and 6 of the March 19th Fire Council's List of Corrective Measures. In speaking to this point, Mr. Mandeville stated that Item No. 6 would be complied with but that he would have to consult with the owners on No. 3 and report back to the Board; -3- 48 -5that because there was no roof over the portion of the building housing the boiler, the electrical equipment could not be maintained and heat and hot water could not be pro- vided; 6. that access for fire equipment to get completely around any building seemed questionable to him, and that if one looked at various school buildings, churches, offices, other apartments, etc., one saw that fire equipment was not able to get completely around most of such buildings. The Attorney and members of the Fire Council again stressed the urgent need for this building to be reconstructed in con- formity with the State standards in the interest of the safety of the tenants and further discussion of the requested court yard access - or its alternative, the installation of fire escapes - by Mr. Mandeville and members of the Board and Council concluded with Mr. Mandeville urgently requesting that a permit be granted for the reconstruction of the roof over the unroofed portion of the building so that the electrical equip- ment could be maintained. The Supervisor asked Mr. Mandeville whether he would forward to the Board written confirmation of his verbal statement this evening that access would be provided in the rear of the building, and upon his assurance that he would, she asked the Town Attorney whether some sort of conditional permit could be granted for the construction of the roof. In replying, the Attorney stated that it was not possible to issue a conditional permit inasmuch as Chatsworth Gardens was a non-conforming use and therefore must be reconstructed in conformance with the Building Code. Further, he said, that if such a permit were to be issued, the Town would have very little ground to stand on were the reconstruction not in accord with what the Town believed to be proper and acceptable standards for the safety of the tenants of this building. Mr. Burton C. Meighan - Resident of Chatsworth Gardens Mr. Meighan, upon recognition by the Chair, said that he did not think the Town Attorney was being strictly responsive to the question asked. He said that if a permit were requested for such construction in New York City with the owners having full knowledge that a certificate of occupancy could not be obtained unless and until all work complied with the plans as filed and approved by the Building Inspector, that he believed it would be granted and hence his query was, if a permit were granted without promise of a C. 0., whether this was or was not an appropriate municipal action? Whereupon, Councilman Nagel stated that since it seemed to him the Board had a hardship case before it, he would move that the requested permit for the reconstruction of the roof be granted. This motion was seconded by Councilman Faiola, and upon roll call, the following resolution adopted by unan- imous vote of the Board, all members being present and voting "aye". WHEREAS, Robert Glenn Inc. as General Contractors for the reconstruction of Chatsworth Gardens Unit B, located on premises at 14 North Chatsworth Avenue, Larchmont, New York, and more particularly set forth as Block 127, Parcel 108 on the Assessment Map of the Town of Mamaroneck, -4- Z19 has submitted to the Building Department an application for Secial Permit to reconstruct the 7th story and roof framing of said building in accordance with the plans submitted with said application, and WHEREAS, said application was disapproved by the Building Inspector on the grounds of non-compliance with Article V, Section 7, Paragraph 4 of the Building Code, and WHEREAS, this Board has examined the recommendations proposed by the Building Inspector and Fire Council of the Town of Mamaroneck for the subject reconstruction and finds them to be the minimum acceptable standards for the protection of life and property, and WHEREAS, the recommendations set forth as No. 3 and No. 6 on the aforesaid Fire Council List were not incorporated in the plans filed with the Building Inspector, and WHEREAS, the Managing Agent speaking for the applicant has verbally agreed to include No. 6 in the said plans and to confer the owners, the Bank of New York as Trustees for the Goodman Estate and Mr. George Perper, on the incorporation of No.. 3 or its alternative and re- port thereon to this Board, NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that this Board hereby grants a Special Permit - to the applicant, Robert Glenn Inc., for the reconstruction of the 7th story and roof framing on Chatsworth Avenue Gardens - Unit B, located on premises at 14 Northi Chatsworth Avenue and more particularly set forth as Block 127, Parcel 108 on the Assessment Map of the Town of Mamaroneck, upon receipt by the Town of Mamaroneck of written confirmation of the inclusion of Item No. 6 on the March 19th Fire Council List of Corrective Measurer in the plans for such reconstruction, and a report on the inclusion of item No. 3, or its alternative, in said plans following conference with the owners of the said premises. The Supervisor thanked all present for attending the meeting this evening and for their courtesy and patience during the rather lengthy discussion that took place. 2.
