PUBLIC HEARING - West Fordham Transportation Co. On motion by Councilman Chalif, seconded by Councilman Faiola, it was unanimously RESOLVED, that the Public Hearing be and it here- by is declared open. The Clerk presented for the record the Affidavit of Publi- cation of the Notice of Hearing, and read the following two communications received in connection with the said application: 1. Report of the Board of Police Commissioners "The Board of Police Commissioners has reviewed the corres- pondence forwarded on January 24 with respect to the request from West Fordham Transportation Corp. to operate buses on Palmer Avenue between the easterly Town line and westerly Town line on that street. "This is to advise you that the Police Department would not interpose any objection to the Town Board's granting such a franchise. "The route covered within the unincorporated area on Palmer Avenue is very short and would not involve any traffic or safety problems." -2- w 2. Report of Larchmont Chamber of Commerce, Inc. "It was the majority decision of the officers and directors of the Larchmont Chamber of Commerce to oppose the proposed new bus routes of the West Fordham Transpor- tation Corporation . This decision was reached at the meeting of the Board of Directors held last Thursday, March 9th. "The following reasons motivated the Board's decision: 1. Economically, rather than increase Larchmont business, which is the contention of the bus line, the route will have an opposite effect by shuttling our customers to the new New Rochelle shopping center. The bus line already serves Larchmont residents to and from New Rochelle with a well established bus line and any in- crease would be detrimental to the Larchmont business community. 2. Palmer Avenue already has traffic problems - in the very near future these problems will be increased. A 40' bus stopping to pick up and discharge passengers would most certainly add to the congestion by inter- mittently closing a free lane of traffic and would increase traffic snarls, especially during rush hours. "This decision was reached after careful consideration by the members of the Board following the presentation of the plans by representatives of the West Fordham line. Therefore, we respectfully request the members of the Town Council to give due consideration to the conclusions of our Board before rendering a decision in this matter." The Deputy Supervisor then inquired whether any members of the Board wished to be heard on the application. Councilman Chalif asked whether there were any additional stops scheduled in the Unincorporated Area on either of the two proposed lines. The Deputy Supervisor replied that pursuant to the Police Commission's report there were none,but inquired whether a representative of the West Fordham Company was present. There was no representative present. Councilman Chalif then stated that he had several other questions he would like to ask but it was suggested that since there was no one present from West Fordham that he defer his questions. The Deputy Supervisor then inquired whether anyone attend- ing the meeting wished to be heard either in favor of or in opposition to the application. Mr. Hugh Mullin Mr. Hugh Mullin, representing Westchester Street Transpor- tation Company,requested that any decision on the West Fordham application be deferred so that the Westchester -3- b~ d y Street Transportation company which had filed an applica- tion for a route similar to one of those now applied for by West Fordham, could study the West Fordham application and also obtain the survey information promised at the December 7th Public Hearing on its application. He then introduced a Mr. Murphy who explained that West- chester Street was still conducting the survey herein- above referred to; that the said Westchester Street Trans- portation Company services only the County, having no routes into New York City proper since the routes termi- nate at the 241st Street and Dyer Avenue subways. He then inquired whether another Hearing could be held on the Westchester Street application and was advised by the Attorney that it could upon receipt of an application and publication of the required legal Notice. Whereupon, since no one else wished to be heard, on motion by Councilman Chalif, seconded by Councilman Faiola, it was unanimously RESOLVED,that the Hearing be and it hereby is declared closed. The Deputy Supervisor inquired the Board's pleasure and thereupon it was directed that this matter be tabled pend- ing receipt of further information. OLD BUSINESS Although there was no old Business,the Deputy Supervisor recognizing Mrs. Telesco inquired whether she wished to address the Board on the matter of parking in the Dillon Park area. Mrs. Telesco then stated that she had several questions which she would like to ask, - - first, whether any further progress had been made in this situation and second, whether something could be done to assure those who rented parking spaces from the Car-Wash ingress and egress at all times since there had been several instances when it was impossible to use the spaces allotted to them because of overflow park- ing from the bowling alley on the premises of the Car-Wash and also blocking the entrance and exit driveways to the said premises. Councilman Chalif replied that, as Mrs. Telesco knew, the Police Commission had full jurisdiction in this matter and that a further meeting was to be held this weekend with the Commission in the hope of reaching some partial solution to this matter. With regard to the matter of parking on the Car-Wash premises, he inquired whether Mrs. Telesco had communicated with the owner, Mr. LaBarbara, and then asked whether the "No Parking" signs mentioned in a letter addressed to him by Mr. Viebranz under date of February 20th had been posted. Upon Mrs. -4- 4 k ( ~Telesco's reply that there were not any "No Parking" signs posted on the Car-Wash property, Councilman Chalif stated that he would again take this up with Mr. Viebranz and Chief Waterbury immediately. He further assured Mrs. Telesco that the problem was of top priority and was still being considered with a view toward coming up with some acceptable answers. At this time Mrs. Robert W. Hiebert, 38 Myrtle Boulevard, addressed the Board, upon recognition by the Chair, to again complain of the broken meters in the Larchmont village parking area. Councilmen Chalif and Faiola advised Mrs. Hiebert that they had referred this matter to the Village and that they would once more bring it to the attention of the Village which was all they could do since it was entirely under the juris- diction of that village. NEW BUSINESS 1. Closing of Town Offices - Good Friday The Deputy Supervisor stated that it was the usual practice for the Town of Mamaroneck offices to close at Noon on Good Friday and requested a resolution so stating if it were the Board's pleasure this year. Thereupon, on motion by Councilman Faiola, seconded by Councilman Chalif, it was unanimously RESOLVED, that this Board hereby authorizes that the Town of Mamaroneck offices be closed at 12:00 N on Good Friday, March 24, 1967. COMMUNICATIONS 1.

The Deputy Supervisor remarked that Mr. Seufert had been employed by the Town since 1949 and that he had certainly been a loyal and dependable employee during all of his association with the Town. She further remarked that it was with regret that the Town would lose his services but since he was moving it would seem that the Town had no choice other than to accept his resignation. The members of the Board concurred in Mrs. Helwig's remarks, and thereupon on motion by Councilman Chalif, seconded by Councilman Faiola, it was unanimously -5- RESOLVED, that this Board hereby accepts with regret the resignation of John Seufert as Custodian of the Town of Mamaroneck Police Department and Town Hall, and be it further RESOLVED, that this Board hereby expresses for the record its appreciation and gratitude for his dependable and loyal services rendered to the Town during the many years of his association with the Town of Mamaroneck from May 1, 1949 to March 15, 1967, and be it further RESOLVED, that this Board hereby extends to Mr. Seufert and his family its best wishes for every success in their new business and new home in Norton, Massachusetts. 2.

"The plans and specifications for the proposed expansion and modernization have been approved subject to some small minor changes and the Commission hopefully will entertain bids around April 15, 1967." The Deputy Supervisor remarked on the importance of the information transmitted to the Board calling to atten- tion that it was expected the addition would be completed about a year from the date of letting contracts and would thus eliminate all out-door burning in the Town. -6- REPORTS The Town Clerk The Clerk presented the following reports which were ordered received and filed for the record: Town Clerk's Report for the month of February, 1967.
