OLD BUSINESS 1. Adoption of Local Law No. 1 - 1968 The Supervisor recalled to the Board that it had reserv- ed decision on the adoption of this Local Law at the Public Hearing on March 6, 1968 and asked whether any members of the Board had any question or comment on the proposed law prior to acting thereon this evening. Since there were no questions and the Board was ready for the quest-ion, on motion by Councilwoman Helwig, seconded by Councilman Nagel, it was unanimously RESOLVED, that this Board hereby adopts Local Law No. 1 of the Town of Mamaroneck for the year 1968, which reads as follows: Section 1. The Town Board of the Town of Mamaroneck may by resolution, direct the town superintendent to construct a sidewalk along a described portion of any county road or state highway in the manner and not ex- ceeding an expense to be specified in the resolution, and the expense of constructing such sidewalk shall be a town charge, and shall be paid in the same manner as other town charges. No such sidewalks shall be built along any state highway until the state superintendent of public works shall have made his consent thereto, pursuant to section fifty-four of the Highway Law, and no such sidewalk shall be built along any county road until the county superintendent of highways shall have made his consent thereto, pursuant to section one hundred thirty-six of the Highway Law. Nothing herein contained shall prevent the town board from requiring the maintenance and repair of such sidewalks and the removal of snow therefrom by the owners or occu- pants of property adjacent thereto as may be required by the provisions of any town ordinance adopted pursuant to the provi- sions of article nine of the town law. -2- 102 Section 2. Definitions Unless otherwise express- ly stated, wherever used in this law, the follow- ing terms shall be deemed to mean: (a) "State highway" shall mean those highways constructed or improved under the Highway Law at the sole expense of the state, including the highways specified and des- cribed in sections three hundred and forty -- and three hundred and forty-one of the High- way Law and acts amendatory thereof, includ- ing the highways heretofore-classified or referred to as county highways elsewhere in the Highway Law and heretofore constructed or improved at the joint expense of state, county and town, or state and county as heretofore provided by law. (b) "County roads" shall mean those roads con- structed, improved, maintained and repaired under article six of the Highway Law and roads constructed or improved under a general or special law, which are maintained by the county. (c) "Town highway" shall mean those highways constructed, improved or maintained by the town with the aid of the state or county, under the provisions of the Highway Law, including all highways in towns, outside of incorporated villages constituting separate road districts which do not belong to either of the two preceding classes. (d) "Town" is the unincorporated section of the Town of Mamaroneck. (e) "Town superintendent" shall mean the town superintendent of highways. Section 3. Separability. If any section, sub- section, sentence, clause, phrase or portion of this local law is for any reason held invalid or unconstitutional by any court of competent juris- diction, such portion shall be deemed a separate, distinct and independent provision and such hold- ing shall not affect the validity of the remain- ing portions hereof. This local law supersedes the provisions of Section 151 of the Highway Law as it relates to the construction and maintenance of sidewalks a-long county roads and state highways as they apply to the Town of Mamaroneck, Westchester County, State of New York. -3- 103 Mr. Fred J. Anderson, 129 Carleon Avenue Mr. Anderson, president of the Howell Park Association, addressed the Board on behalf of the Association stat- ing that several of the members had called him to ask what the next steps would be in the construction pro- cedure —when it would actually start, what would take place, etc. The Attorney, to whom the matter was referred by the Chair, explained that the surveys and maps of the pro- perties which would have to be acquired were now being prepared. He also stated that appraisals were being made of those properties and that immediately upon the adoption of Local Law No. 1 of 1968 and its becoming effective, the owners of the said properties would be notified of the appraisal prices. Then, he said, if there were questions of price, the Town would have to go to condemnation proceedings. Councilwoman Helwig advised that the "takings" were small and further that if Mr. Anderson would be good enough to contact Mr. Widulsky, the Town Engineer, he would inform him of the exact size, shape, etc. of the necessary "takings" and review the surveys and maps with him so that he, in turn, could present the informa- tion to the members of the Association. Mr. Peter Mosher, 17 North Chatsworth Avenue Mr. Mosher said that he thought it should be clarified to Mr. Anderson at this time that where property owners maintained property with grass and shrubbery planting to the roadbed line in many instances they did not own such property as highways were not always paved to the full extent of the right-of-way. This he said he believed was the case in certain portions of Weaver Street so that some of the property owners might be maintaining shrubbery and lawns on property that was either town-owned or state-owned right-of-way. The Supervisor thanked the Attorney, Mrs. Helwig and Mr. Mosher and assured Mr. Anderson that Mr. Widulski would furnish him with such information as he desired any time that met with his convenience. 2.

Mr. Widulski explained the size and shape of the request- ed additions and alterations to the club house and said that he could see no objection thereto. At the Supervisor ' s request the Clerk then read into the record a report addressed to the Town Clerk by the Chair- man of the Planning Board under date of March 4, 1968 which unanimously recommended that the Special Use Permit be granted since the requested additions and alterations would not affect the character of the neighborhood, and provided the Public Hearing is favorable to the granting of the Special Permit. Councilman Faiola then stated that he had a question he would like to ask, inquiring whether any one was present representing the Club. Mr. Davis, the Manager, replied that he was present on behalf of the Club. Councilman Faiola asked him whether the proposed canopy would ex- tend out from the new addition in a similar fashion to the present canopy. Mr. Davis replied that there would be a canopy but that it would be of the same size and structure as the present one - nothing more. Councilman Faiola explained that his inquiry was based on the fact that he and the Fire Chief had been to the Club that evening and anticipated that after completion of the proposed extension and canopy erection, if there was to be one, there would be a serious question of get- ting the aerial truck in the driveway in case of fire. Mr. Davis thanked Mr. Faiola for bringing this matter to attention and assured the Board that the Club would modi- fy the driveway in any respect needed so that there would be sufficient space for the ingress and egress of all fire equipment. Whereupon, since there were no further questions or com- ments and no one else present wished to be heard, on motion by Councilman Chalif, seconded by Councilwoman Helwig, it was unanimously RESOLVED, that the hearing be and it hereby is declared closed. And thereupon, on motion by Councilman Faiola, seconded by Councilman Nagel, the following resolution was offered: WHEREAS, Winged Foot Holding Corp. has sub- mitted an application for an extension of its existing special use in a Residential District (R-30 zone) so as to allow the alterations and addition as shown on the plans filed with the application, on premises located on the East side of Fenimore Road and known as Block 347, Parcel 1 on the Tax Assessment Map of the Town of Mamaroneck; and -7- 107 WHEREAS, said application was denied by the Build- ing Inspector on the grounds that the plans were subject to a special permit, to be granted pur- suant to Sections 410, 432 and 449 of the Zoning Ordinance insofar as the proposed building or structure is an extension or addition to a non- conforming use; and WHEREAS, the applicant has applied to this Board for a special permit as provided in Section 432 of the Zoning Ordinance, and which application this Board has referred to the Planning Board for report which, as received, recommends that the application be granted; and WHEREAS, a public hearing was duly called before this Board for this meeting pursuant to Section 432 of the Zoning Ordinance; and WHEREAS, the Board has examined the plans and finds that the conditions and standards requir- ed by subdivisions 432. 1, 432. 2, 432. 3 and 432. 4 of the Zoning Ordinance have been met; NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the application of Winged Foot Holding Corp. is hereby granted and the Build- ing Inspector authorized to issue a special permit for the alterations and addition-as shown on the plans filed with him, provided that such alterations and addition conform in - all respects with the Building Code and Zoning Ordinance of the Town of Mamaroneck.

The importance of the safety of the school children has been placed above unlimited property rights. "A similar daily hazard along Colonial Avenue between Murray Avenue and Daymon Terrace con- tinues to endanger the many Murray Avenue School pupils using that route. The kids are effectively prevented from using the siding along the north edge of the roadway due to a row of huskey shrubs placed immediately adja- cent to the curbstone along the rear of 186 and 188 Murray Avenue. Directly across the street the heavy hedge separating 12 Colonial Avenue and 14 Colonial Avenue has been carried all the way to the curbstone, effectively blocking the siding on that side. So they all walk on the roadway, keeping a sharp eye out for cars coming from both directions. We hope: " -9- 10 This matter had been referred by the Supervisor to the Town Engineer who, after investigating the area, report- ed as follows under date of March 14, 1968: "The conditions referred to in Mr. Ellison' s letter of March 5, 1968 were inspected some- time ago. The area in question was examined by the Police and Fire Chief and myself. "The street right-of-way along Colonial Avenue and Daymon Terrace is 60 feet and 50 feet res- pectively. The shrubbery is on Town property and if you so request, I will advise the home owners of properties neighboring the sidewalk areas to relocate the shrubs or the Town will have to. " The Board directed the Engineer to proceed as suggested in his memorandum. Mr. William J. Gerety, Jr. Mr. Gerety, upon recognition, addressed the Board to request that a survey of a similar hazardous condition at the intersection of Judson and Edgewood Avenues be made, which request the Supervisor referred to the Engineer and Highway Superintendent with report to the Board following inspection. 3.
