Planning Board Report -- Blossom Terrace Rezoning
Councilman Kane now presented the following communication
to the Town Board from the Planning Board under date of
May 6, 1957;
"The Planning Board, at a meeting held May 6, 1957, wishes
to recommend to the Town Board that the rezoning request
regarding Blossom Terrace be denied.
This recommendation is based on their study and a report
from Mr. Frederick P. Clark, a copy of which is attached.
herewith. "
Councilman Kane- recommended that the Board, in accordance
with this recommendation by the Planning Board, make no
change in the zoning of Blossom Terrace.
In answer to inquiry by the Supervisor as to whether anyone
present wished to speak on this matter, Mrs. Warnecke, a
resident of Blossom Terrace, asked if there were any way
permission could be granted to herself and two other residents
to use their homes as two-family dwellings if this Board made
no change in the present zoning. She was advised that it would
not seem that this would be possible and there being no further
discussion, the report of the Planning Board was received and
filed.
MATTERS NOT ON AGENDA
The following persons addressed the Board at this time;
(1) Richard G. Murphy - 20 Rockland Avenue, Town
Mr. Murphy stated that he had been before the Board a
month previously to request action on four (4) specific
matters and that he was here this evening to again re-
quest such action on two (2) of these items on which
nothing had been done as far as he could determine.
First - the matter of the projection of cars over the
sidewalk at the parking area near the station;
Second The cleaning-up of property he believed to
be Town-owned along Myrtle Boulevard,
On the first matter, the Superintendent of Highways, the
Engineer, and the Chief of Police advised that temporary
barricades would be installed in this parking area.
The second matter was referred to the Superintendent of
Highways who stated that he would check again to be certain
that all Town-owned property along Myrtle Boulevard was
in proper condition and that he would report to the Supervi-
sor at once.
Mr. Murphy then brought up two new items which he re-
quested be given immediate attention:
First - that the street signs be checked as many were
in unsightly and unsatisfactory condition, either
needing repainting or replacing,
Second - that attention be given to the manhole covers
through the Town as many of them made a great
deal of noise when cars passed over them which
- caused considerable annoyance and disturbance
to residents.
Both of these matters were referred to the Superintendent
of Highways.
(2) Harry Alpiar - 132 Chatsworth Avenue, Larchmont
Mr. Alpiar appeared and addressed the Board on two
matters:
(1) A request for a contribution in the sum of $300. 00
for a 4th of July celebration to be held at Flint
Park.
In answer to inquiries by members of the Board,
the Town Attorney explained the statutory limita-
tions in connection with the expenditure of funds
for Patriotic Day observances and informed the
Board that the maximum amount that could be
spent for all Patriotic Day observances was in-
cluded in the 1957 budget.
Following a very detailed and lengthy discussion
on this matter, it was, on motion by Councilman
Waterman, seconded by Councilman Kane, unani-
mously
RESOLVED that the sum of $150.00 be
allocated to the 4th of July celebration
to be held at Flint Park from the Pa-
triotic Day Observance Fund in the
1957 budget. .
(2) Relative to the matter of the swimming pool, Mr.
Alpiar asked the Town Attorney whether he had
!, made any progress on the preparation of a petition
to be circulated in this connection.
The Attorney stated that he had prepared the peti-
tion which he had before him and outlined the pro-
cedure to be followed in connection therewith, quot-
ing Section 84 of the Town Law defining "Qualified
electors" and Section 81 stating the provisions for
filing such petition and also providing that "any ex-
penditure approved pursuant to that section which.
I
�g
provides for the petition shall be paid for
by taxes levied for the fiscal year in which
such expenditure is to be made. If a prop-
osition were submitted on the basis of this
petition, it would become the duty of the
Town Board to levy the entire $500, 000. 00
in the year 1958."
The Attorney then presented the petition which reads as
follows to Mr. Alpiar;
PETITION FOR SUBMISSION OF PROPOSITION
AT TOWN ELECTION
TO THE TOWN BOARD OF THE TOWN OF MAMARONECK,
WESTCHESTER COUNTY, NEW YORK
We, the undersigned, constituting at least one hundred (100)
electors qualified to vote upon a proposition to raise and expend
money in such Town, and constituting a number more than five (5)
per centum of the total votes cast for Governor in said Town at the
last General Election, held for the election of State Officers, here-
by make application and respectfully petition, pursuant to the pro-
visions of Section 81 of the Town Law of the State of New York, for
the submission of a proposition to be voted upon by ballot at a
special Town meeting duly called therefor for the following pur-
poses and in the following form to wit;
"Shall the Town of Mamaroneck establish as a
general Town improvement, a recreation area
and improvements on the west side of Hom-
mocks Road in the Town of Mamaroneck and ex-
pend for the construction of a swimming pool
and appurtenant facilities, such as a locker room,
bath house, administrative building, snack bar,
diving pool, kiddie pool, parking facilities, and
other accessory buildings on Town owned property,
the sum of $500, 000.00 out of funds of the entire
Town, such amount to be included in the annual
budget of the Town of Mamaroneck for the year
1958 on all property in the Town of Mamaroneck."
Dated.
Owner of property on
Assessment Roll 1957
Name Address Block Parcel
Upon receipt of the petition, Mr. Alpiar inquired
whether there were any alternative procedures
which could be followed and was advised by the
Attorney that if the Town Board initiated the ref-
erendum, it could be paid for over a period of
ten (10) years.
At this time, Mr. Finson; Town Accountant, ad-
dressed the Board speaking as a taxpayer rather
than an official of the Town, and stated that having
heard a great deal during the past few weeks about
the proposed pool being self-sustaining he would
like to state his beliefs in this connection publicly
with the thought that this might be of some as sis-
tance to other citizens and taxpayers. He said
that in his opinion, such a swimming pool would
not be self-sustaining as the amortization, interest,
payroll, maintenance costs, etc. would amount to
somewhere in the neighborhood of $85, 000. 00 per
year and that in none of the figures quoted at any
time during all of the studies made on this matter
was there any indication of revenues which would
begin. to meet these costs. He further stated that
if such referendum were to be initiated by the Town
Board with the cost spread over a period of years,
the amortization on such bond issue would amount
to $50, 000. 00 yearly, which, along with the other
above mentioned costs, would certainly not indicate
any possibility of such a pool being self-sustaining.
TOWN REPORT
The Supervisor presented the Annual Report of the Town of Mamar-
oneck for the year 1956, entitled "The Town Reports To Its Citizens"
