Following Councilman Faiola's and the Attorney's explanation of this request and pursuant to their recommendation, on motion by Councilman Faiola, seconded by Councilman Quadrine, it was unanimously RESOLVED, that this Board hereby grants the request of the Volunteer and Exempt Firemen's Benevolent Association of the Town of Mamaro- neck for exclusive use of the area immediately below the apparatus floor of the firehouse located at the corner of Weaver Street and Edgewood Avenue until the last living member of the Association shall have died; and be it further RESOLVED, that the Supervisor so notify Mr. Brown. 2. Letter - Miss Laurie Klapper - Permit to Parade (Previously discussed) 3. Board of Police Commissioners -Expense Authorization Pursuant to request of the Police Commission dated January 30, 1967 herewith presented and filed for the record, on motion by Councilman Chalif, seconded by Councilman Faiola, it was unanimously RESOLVED, that this Board hereby authorizes payment of the expenses of Police Chief Water- bury while attending the Annual Meeting of the Association of Towns of New York State, at the Hotel Commodore, New York City, February 6 - 8, 1967, in an amount not to exceed the sum of $35.00 to be paid from the proper item in the 1967 Police Department budget. -5- 4. Notice of Meeting Larchmont Zoning Board The Clerk presented Notice of meeting of the Village of Larchmont Zoning Board of Appeals which, upon the Attorney's advice of requiring no action by this Board, was ordered received and filed. In reply to question of Councilman Chalif, the Attorney explained that it was mandatory for all municipalities to forward copies of all Notices of Meetings of their Board of Appeals where any application for variance was filed applying to property within 500 feet of neighboring municipalities. 5. Letter - Mrs. Dan Telesco The Clerk read into the record the following letter addressed to Supervisor Kane by Mrs. Dan Telesco of 3 Dillon Road, Town, under date of February 9, 1967: "Following our plea or discussion which ever it may be referred to, we wish at this time to place our problems in the form of an official grievance with the hopes that the Town Board may work out something in our favor. We are all aware of certain laws and ordinances, but these so called laws or ordinances may be of tremendous help in some communities, but in our particular case they are in no way benefitting the residence of our neighborhood by any means or manner. "Our main problem is the parking situation. There is no parking from 2 A. M. to 6 A. M. This ban however lifted during the period of election but after a short two and a half month period, the parking ban was once again put into effect. Occupying the premises of #1 and #3 Dillon Road, we have 34 (thirty four) families. Many of these families have two cars, not due to high financial ability, but as a necessity for business and college and school purposes. When the hour arrives to store or park these cars for the night, there is no available or large enough space to accommodate every family. Twenty-five years ago this was of course not a problem but today like any other situation, times have changed and we are now faced with parking of more cars. Garages are practically out of the question as there are only six (6) available garages to the thirty-four (34) occu- pants. It has been brought to our attention that the owner of the Car Wash on the Boston Post Road will lease spaces to us during the night hours for the sum of five dollars ($5.00) per month with the understanding that due to his business, the cars must be removed by eight (8) A. M. This we find rather generous but other conditions beyond his control have arisen. On a busy evening at the Loyal Inn Bowling Alley, these spaces are occupied before we have a chance to occupy any space on his property. We also have some occupants who work until one or two ( 1 or 2 ) A. M. and would also have to be up at least seven=thirty (7:30) to remove their car from this area. -6- "During the period previously mentioned above, when we were allowed all night parking on Dillon Road there was no parking problem of any kind. We would also like to bring to your attention one other situation concerning the parking situation during the daylight hours. On the corner of Dillon Road and Parkland Ave., on the Dillon Road side entering from Parkland Ave., is a "No Parking From Here to The Corner" sign. This curtails the use of space of two cars being parked. This particular sign as we see it could easily be moved back toward Parkland Ave., thus enabling room for two (2) more parking spaces. Such parking would not in anyway impair the vision of cars coming around the corner entering onto Dillon Road due to the fact there is also a "Full Stop" sign at the corner of Parkland Avenue. "One other complaint which we feel necessary to mention is the speed limit placed on Dillon Road stating Thirty Miles (30) per hour. This has been observed many times as being entirely too fast. There have been too many close calls with young and old alike. We grant the fact that some drivers will supersede the speed limits but this speed limit if lowered may prove beneficial and not as hazardous as that of the present time. "In closing may we as residence and voters of the Dillon Road neighborhood hope that this letter will by some means gain recognition and action from the Town Board to our current parking problem. We would at this time like to thank you for your consideration and assistance concerning this matter." The Supervisor then inquired whether any member of the Board wished to speak on this matter, whereupon Councilmen Faiola and Chalif spoke as follows: Councilman Faiola Councilman Faiola stated that following receipt of copy of Mrs. Telesco's letter, he had contacted Mr. Viebranz, Chair- man of the Police Commission, who had assured him that a thorough study of the situation described by Mrs. Telesco would be inaugurated at once. He further stated that he believed this study would be started this Saturday and that it would include not only the Dillon Road area but all other areas of the Town where similar problems existed. Councilman Chalif Councilman Chalif advised that the Board had discussed Mrs. Telesco's letter in some detail and at some length feeling that the situation referred to therein was part of a grow- ing problem throughout the community. The Board, he continued, had decided to bring together the Police Commission and Plan- ning Board with a view toward realizing a long term solution for the whole Town. He also advised that he had been desig- nated as Liaison to work with this group and that he would -7- start on this commitment as of tomorrow morning. He also pointed out that among the many aspects of this situation requiring serious study was that of public safety. Council- man Chalif explained that fire and police vehicles must always have easy quick access at times of emergencies and that he, for one, would never be able to rest again if in any way any action taken by the Town slowed down either fire or police service. The Fire Chief Mr. Librandi stated that the Fire Department would of course do everything in its power to cooperate with the Board what- ever its decision with regard to the present parking re- strictions might be but pointed out that certain of these streets might well present problems of passage if parking were permitted. Following further discussion during which several of the thirteen residents of the area who were present joinedcMrs. Telesco in registering their complaints with Mr. Frank Garcuillo of 3 Dillon Road, Mr. Frank Grimmer, Jr. of 1 Dillon Road and Mr. William Ste£anisko of 9 Parkland Avenue reciting in detail the hardship imposed on them, the Super- visor, on behalf of the Board, thanked the group for coming this evening and expressing their views and assured them that the matter would be given immediate and earnest con- sideration. REPORTS The Town Clerk The Clerk presented the following which were ordered received and filed for the record: Report of the Town Clerk for the month of January, 1967. Report of the Municipal Dog Patrol for the month of January, 1967. Report of the Westchester Shore Humane Society, Inc. for the month of January, 1967. The Supervisor 1. Reapportionment - (Board of Supervisors) (Not on Agenda) Supervisor Kane advised that Judge Nolan had handed down a decision a week ago which had not declared Plan 8 illegal but had requested submission of alternatives so as to enable placement of this matter on the ballot in April. Councilman Chalif Councilman Chalif stated that he had no reports at this time. -8- dg Councilwoman Helwig 1. Authorization - 1967 Home Town Beautification Program Upon Councilwoman Helwig's presentation of letter addressed to the Town Board by the Chairman of the Conservation Advisory Committee under date of January 3, 1967, held until this date pending assurance of State funds, requesting the Board's authorization to apply for continuance of the Home Town Beautification Program in 1967 as approved by both villages, on her motion, seconded by Councilman Chalif, the following resolution was adopted unanimously: WHEREAS, under Governor Rockefeller's Beautifi- cation Program, State funds are available for conservation projects employing young men ages 16-21, and WHEREAS, the Conservation Areas of the Town of Mamaroneck offer an unusual opportunity for effective and advantageous use of funds for such a beautification project; NOW,, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the Town Board authorizes a formal application to the New York State Division for Youth for State funds for a conservation project in the summer of 1967 to be administered by the Town of Mamaroneck Conservation Advisory Committee and directs that Committee to take all necessary steps to complete such an application, it being understood that the contract for such a project if recommended by the State Division for Youth would be submitted to the Town Board for final approval. 2. Report on Business Meeting - Association of Towns Annual Meeting Councilwoman Helwig reported briefly on the Business Meet- ing of the Association of Towns Annual Meeting in New York City, February 6-8, 1967, stating that two sets of reso- lutions had been unanimously adopted which were important to the Town. The first three of these resolutions, she continued, con- cerned the Uniform Justice Act, Article 6 of the Constitu- tion; the Local Finance Law, Article 8 of the Constitution; and the expansion of power under the Home Rule Law of 1964 - Article 9 of the Constitution. All of these, she said, were reported in detail in the written material submitted with the report herewith presented for the information of each of the members of the Board. -9- The other three resolutions which were of some relevance to the Town dealt with: first, the law providing for Tax Exemption on Real Property for Persons 65 or over, recommend- ing that no amendments or changes be made until this law had been in effect for one year; second, the proposal for flex- ibility of Registration Days under Permanent Personal Regis- tration; and the third, the "Assessment Improvement Bill" which had been submitted in 1966 for study by the State Board of Equalization and Assessment and provided for two minor amendments allowing local determination of election or appointment of assessors. 3. Bill - Separate Assessment Roll for School Tax Levy (Not on Agenda) Councilwoman Helwig called attention to an article appearing in last Wednesday's paper outlining a bill proposing provi- sion of a separate assessment roll for levying school taxes. She pointed out that if such a bill were to become law, con- siderable additional expense would be imposed on the Town, and she therefore recommended that the Board do everything in its power to urge reconsideration thereof at least until the Board had an opportunity to study this bill in detail. She also pointed out that the situation was very different up-state than here and that consequently such a bill might well receive favorable consideration there and she accord- ingly also suggested that The Association of Towns be urged to plead for its reconsideration. Councilman Chali£ stated as an attorney that he was hesitant to take any action as a member of this Board and an official of the Town on a bill which he had not seen and requested that such action be deferred pending the receipt of copies of the bill for study by each member of the Board. He added, however, that if the bill were as objectionable as the article in the paper suggested, letters requesting recon- sideration be sent to the Governor and whomever else neces- sary on authority obtained by the Supervisor upon polling the Board immediately upon receipt of the copies of said bill. 4. Noise Abatement (Not on Agenda) Councilwoman Helwig called to the Board's attention an article appearing in today's New York Times which reported Mayor Lindsay's appointment of a Task Force on Noise for New York City. She advised that Miss Millicent Brower, a representa- tive of this Force, had requested the Thruway Noise Abate- ment Committee to arrange a demonstration of the Noise Meter and accordingly that Lt. Scoville, Sgt. McCarthy, Trooper McLaughlin and Mr. Stannard M. Potter, Consultant to the Com- mittee, had met with Miss Brower and another member of the Task Force on January 13th at the New Rochelle Toll Station for such demonstration. In addition, Councilwoman Helwig reported that Mr. Alex Baron had formed a "Citizens Committee for a Quieter City", -10- which was cooperating actively with the Mayor's Task Force and was responsible for bringing the attention of Mr. Kear- ing, Sanitation Superintendent of the City of New York, to the possibility for quieting Sanitation Trucks. In concluding her remarks, Councilwoman Helwig stated that she felt the formation of these two groups would lend added impetus to the efforts of our Noise Abatement Committee to quiet trucks on the New England Thruway. Councilman Quadrine 1. Authorization - Bids for Construction Myrtle Boulevard Parking Area Pursuant to memorandum of the Engineer together with the Plans and Specifications for construction of the Myrtle Boulevard Parking Lot to provide 77 parking spaces, here- with presented by Councilman Quadrine and ordered received and filed for the record, on his motion, seconded by Councilman Faiola, it was unanimously RESOLVED, that in accordance with law, the Town Clerk be and he hereby is authorized to publish in the official newspaper of the Town of Mamaro- neck, The Daily Times, a Notice for sealed bids to be returnable, opened and read aloud at a regular meeting of this Board on Wednesday even- ing, March 15th, 1967, at 8:15 p. m. in the Council Room of the Weaver Street Firehouse, Weaver Street, Town of Mamaroneck, for construction of Parking Lot, Myrtle Boulevard and North Chats- worth Avenue, Town of Mamaroneck. 2. Bill to Increase Contributions to Veterans Organization Rooms (Not on Agenda) Councilman Quadrine advised the Board of a bill now on the Governor's desk which would increase the annual municipal contribution to Veterans Organization Rooms from $200.00 to $300.00. He stated that this had been brought to his attention by Mr. Santo Quadrini of the Village of Mamaro- neck who had requested the Board's consideration thereof. The Supervisor replied that if the proposed bill were signed by the Governor, the Board would of course be happy to give it consideration for the 1968 budget. Councilman Faiola 1. Letter, Mrs. Irving Samuels - Family and Youth Committee Councilman Faiola presented a letter addressed to the Board on February 2, 1967, by Mrs. Irving Samuels, Chairman of -11- Social opportunities of the Larchmont-Mamaroneck Commit- tee on Family and Youth, which submitted tabulation of the Opinion Poll on a Teen Center and was herewith ordered received and filed for the record with the Super- visor directed to acknowledge the letter and thank Mrs. Samuels on behalf of the Board.
