The Supervisor then stated that all present who wished to speak to this application would be given an opportunity to do so and the following persons were heard- In favor of application- Mr, Hunter Meighan -- Mr, Meighan, attorney for the Baldwin interests# stated that his clients had owned this property since 1905 and ex- plained in some detail the reasons for the requested rezon- ing from R-15 to R-10. He referred particularly to the lo- ,; �i ii cation of the property and its topography, pointing out its proximity to the New England Thruway at the bottom of the hill where it bordered Baldwin Place, and calling attention to the much lower zoning restrictions applicable to Baldwin Place under the Village of Mamaroneck Zoning Ordinance„ I Mr, Meighan further stated, however, that his clients being aware of the objections of the residents of the Larchmont Ridge area to the proposed down-zoning, had indicated that they would be willing to include a deed restriction requiring R-I5 compliance on that part of the property abutting the Ridge in order to meet and dispose of the said objections, and he then presented Mr. John A. Lane, New Rochelle Realtor and Appraiser retained by the applicants, who, he stated, wished to address the Board on this matter. Adjournment to Auditorium -- At this time and prior to hearing Mr. Lane, the Supervisor ad journed the hearing to the Auditorium in order to accommodate the large number of persons present, many of whom were at- tempting to follow proceedings from the hall being unable to be seated in the Council Room. Presentation of Schedule of Requirements -- The Supervisor again called the hearing to order and after pre- senting for the information of all present a detailed Schedule of Zoning Requirements under both the former and present Ordi- nances applicable to the Highview Ridge and Baldwin Properties in the application, to Larchmont Ridge, and to Baldwin Place in - the Village of Mamaroneck, called on Mr. Lane. MI. John A. Lane -- Mr. Lane stated that he was an Appraiser, as Mr. Meighan had said, and that he had been retained by the Baldwin interests at the time a subdivision had been contemplated on this property prior to the time of the adoption of the new Ordinance. He strongly urged that this application be granted, stating that it was his firm belief after thorough study of the property that it would not be zoned too low if rezoned to R-10 as had been re- quested as it would then be compatible with the zoning of neighboring and like contiguous areas, which certainly was not the case under its present R-15 zoning. He further stated that if the application were granted and this property rezoned to R-10, he felt it would be the proper zoning for the Town to give the property in question. Mr. Gerome Halpern -- Mr. Halpern, an attorney representing the owner of three vacant parcels of land in the Highview Ridge area on the west side of Rockland Avenue, stated that his client had been ad- versely affected by the rezoning of this area to its present R-15, and strongly urged that this application be granted and the area rezoned R-10. In opposition of application. The following persons were heard in opposition to the appli- cation, all of whom spoke strongly against the granting of any down-zoning whatsoever, contending that it would adversely af- fect the entire neighborhood and bring "crowding" to the unin- corporated area of the Town. Mrs. T. C. Thompson -- 16 Avon Road Mr. Joseph V. Tobin -- 11 Avon Road Mr. Frederick P. Hagaman -- 5 Avon Road Mr. Samuel Kalmanash -- 206 Mulberry Lane Mr. Davis Easton -- 4 Lancia Lane Mr, Barry Golden -- 12 Avon Road Mr. Richard Fisk -- 10 Oxford Road Ms. Joseph Albertson -- Attorney Mr. Albertson, a New Rochelle Attorney, in addition to ad- dressing the Board on behalf of his clients, presented petitions signed by 68 residents of the Larchmont Ridge area in opposi- tion to this application, which were received and filed with the Town Clerk. Upon ascertaining that no one else wished to be heard, the Super- visor requested a show of hands of those favoring and those op- posing the application which revealed that all except 3 of the ap- proximately 100 persons present were opposed to the application. The Supervisor then thanked all present for taking the time and trouble to attend the hearing and present their views, and there- upon, on motion by Councilman Kane, which was seconded by Councilman Brush, it was unanimously RESOLVED that the public hearing be and it hereby is declared closed. And, following a brief discussion, on motion made by Councilman Santoro and seconded by Councilman Kane, it was unanimously RESOLVED that decision on the application for rezoning the Baldwin Property and adjacent Highview Ridge area property west of Rockland Avenue from R-15 to R-10 is reserved.

I will allow the Town of Mamaroneck to hold my occu- pancy certificate until paved road is completed accord- ing to Town specifications and meets the approval of the Town Engineer," In connection with this matter, Councilman Santoro reminded the Board that Mr. Librandi had applied for such a permit last January, and that upon denial of his application by the Building Inspector on the grounds that there was not a proper access road to the property, Mr. Librandi had appealed to this Board for reversal of the Building Inspector's decision.
