OLD BUSINESS
The Supervisor advised that although no items appeared on the
agenda under Old Business, there were two matters which he would
like to call to the Board's attention at this time as follows.
(1) Amendment of resolution--Minutes of September 18, 1957
The Supervisor advised that as had been requested in con-
nection with the new water supply line, the Board had adopted
a resolution on September 18, 1957 authorizing the installa-
tion of a 12" main through the property of Briar Del Homes,
Inc. with part of the cost to be paid by the Town rather than
the 6" main applied for by the developer. He stated that it
was presently his understanding that such installation was
not needed as the engineers to the Water Board, Hazen and
Sawyer, now recommended a connection with the new supply
line which would provide the necessary facilities and be of
no additional cost to the Town and therefore, he recommen-
ded that this resolution be amended so as to eliminate the
authorization of such a 12" main.
Mr. George Straub, Superintendent of the Westchester
Joint Water Works, agreed that this was the case and that
since the 1211 main was not needed, it would be in order for
the Board to rescind or amend its prior resolution. He fur-
ther advised, however, that a continuance of the 6" line to be
installed by Briar Del Homes, Inc. would be necessary for the
connection with the new supply line with a cost to the Town of
approximately $500. 00 and that a request for authorization of
such installation would be submitted to the Board at the time
it was needed.
Whereupon, following some further discussion, upon motion
by Councilman Brush, seconded by Councilman Kane, the
Board unanimously
RESOLVED that the first unnumbered paragraph
of the resolution adopted by this Board on Sep-
tember 18, 1957, be amended so as to read as
follows provided that in all other respects the
resolution as then adopted be confirmed.
"RESOLVED that the Town Board of the Town of
Mamaroneck hereby approves the application of
Briar Del Homes, Inc, for the installation of a
6" water main in the property of Briar Del Homes,
Inc. , known as Block 225 - Parcel 450 on the Tax
Assessment Map of the Town of Mamaroneck, said
main to be laid in the road bed of the proposed
street known as Briar Del Circle and running from
Winged Foot Drive for a distance of approximately
460 feet at a cost of $2, 710, 29 not including exca-
vation, backfill, and pavement restoration, which
cost is to he paid by the applicant, Briar Del
Homes, Inc. "
(2) Amendment of resolution--Minutes of December 18, 1957
The Supervisor requested that the resolution authorizing the
adoption of a new schedule of water rates for the water district,
adopted by this Board on December 18, 1957, be amended so as
to include the effective date of such new rate schedule.
Whereupon, after some discussion and in accordance with the
recommendation of the Westchester Joint Water Works No, 1,
upon motion by Councilman Santoro, seconded by Councilman
Brush, it was unanimously
RESOLVED that the resolution adopted by this
Board on December 18, 1957 authorizing adoption
of a new schedule of water rates for the water dis-
trict be amended so as to read as follows:
"RESOLVED that this Board hereby adopts the following water
rates as recommended by the Westchester Joint Water Works

The Supervisor advised the Board that this request had been
made at an earlier date and referred to the Recreation Commis-
sion for consideration, The Commission, feeling that there was
only one season when ice skating might be possible, had requested
the Board to defer the granting of this request to as late a date as
possible.
Following a lengthy discussion, the Board feeling that the

completion of the Thruway by all possible means, agreed to grant
the requested permission provided Mr. Dorfman would comply to

conditions hereinabove stated and also, upon being informed by
the Supervisor of the joint meeting to be held in Tarrytown Thru-
way headquarters on January 29th between Village of Larchmont

surance and submitted by Mr. Edward A. Keeler, agent for the

Councilman Kane commended Councilman Brush and all of
those concerned with the job on their fine work.
Councilman Kane --
(1) Steel Landing Mats for Parking Area Use
Councilman Kane advised that he was still working on securing
surplus landing mats for possible use on the parking areas this
spring. He stated that he had been unsuccessful in locating any
available at the Air Bases contacted but had been advised that it
might be possible to borrow a section of such for try-out pur-
poses from a surplus dealer in Philadelphia and advised that he
would report further at the next meeting of the Board.
(2) Planning Board
Councilman Kane reported that the Planning Board was work-
ing most diligently on the proposed revisions to the Zoning Or-
dinance and had received much help and many fine suggestions
from individual citizens at the meetings held with the various
civic and homeowners' associations.
Councilman Santoro --

Councilman Santoro reported that in an effort to prevent fur-
ther vandalism of the Incinerator property, the Commission at
its meeting on January 20th had authorized the erection of a
fence around certain sections of the property,
(2) Destruction of Street Lights
Councilman Santoro reported receipt of a note from Con Edi-
son stating that 30 street lights had been shot out. He advised
that the Police Department had been notified but stated that he
also wished to enlist the cooperation of the local press in urging
that this destruction cease, pointing out that such high incidence
of vandalism, if continued, could in due time affect taxes,
(3) Lighting on Parking Areas
Councilman Santoro reported that the Whiffen Electric Com-
pany had started its preliminary work with Con Edison and that
the lights would be on 20 days from receipt of clearance with
Con Edison,
(4) Drainage of Hommocks Area
Councilman Santoro recommended that the Board now proceed
with the proposed drainage of the Hommocks Area and offered the
following motion which was seconded by Councilman Brush and
adopted unanimously;
RESOLVED that the Town Engineer be and he
hereby is authorized to prepare plans for the
drainage of the Hommocks Area, specifying
the amount and type of pipe needed so that
bids may be secured for same,
(5) Drainage Pipe under Thruway
Councilman Santoro stated that the Engineer had expressed
some concern regarding the drainage situation just east of Cabot
Road at the location of the Thruway and requested the Engineer
to brief the Board on this matter,
Mr. Friedlander reported that the Thruway specifications
called for .the installation of a 42" pipe under the roadbed to take
care of this drainage and stated that it was his feeling that this
42" pipe might prove to be of insufficient capacity to handle fu-
ture drainage. He advised that he had discussed the matter with
the Thruway contractor and had recommended that the Thruway
install two 42" pipes or one 60" pipe, However, he continued,
in the event that the Thruway refused to make such an installa-
tion, he felt it would be wise for the Board to give this matter
very serious consideration at this time, as such an installation,
were it necessary at a future date, would be of prohibitive cost
once the Thruway roadbed is completed. With this in mind, he
had obtained an approximate cost estimate for such work from
the Thruway contractor in the amount of some $7, 700, 00,
A Yom;
Y �

REPORT OF THE TOWN ATTORNEY
(1) Agreement re Easement--Bill Property, 1929.
The Town Attorney presented a memorandum in connection
with the agreement entered into between the Westchester Joint
Water Works No, 1 and Caroline L. Bill on November 29, 1929,
which granted an easement to the Westchester Joint Water Works
No, 1 as consideration for the installation of 1, 800 feet of 6"
pipe in any streets or roads of said property as specified by the
owner,
The Attorney's memorandum indicated that while no resolu-
tion of the Town Board could be found authorizing the signature
of this agreement on behalf of the Town, for which reason its
validity might be questioned, it nevertheless was true that Sound-
view Woods, Inc„ as the present owners of this property and suc-
cessors in interest of Caroline L. Bill, would probably succeed
in a law suit in obtaining the cash equivalent of 1, 800 feet of 6"
pipe since that was the consideration for Bill's granting an ease-
ment through this property in 1929,
The Attorney also pointed out that the installation of this main
was intimately connected with obtaining an easement through this
same property for the new water supply line from the Delaware
Acqueduct since Soundview Woods, Inc., in negotiating a settle-
ment for the new easement, insisted on an agreement for the in-
stallation of the 1, 800 feet of water distribution mains in its sub-
division. He pointed out that this 1, 800 feet of water line would
become part of the water distribution system of the Town and that
the benefit would to to the Town which would receive credit for the
revenues collected from the consumers who use this line.
The estimate submitted for the installation of this 1, 800 feet of
6" pipe, he advised, was $16., 680.0.0, but he further stated that
Soundview Woods, Inc. , present owners of the said Caroline L.
Bill property, were agreeable to accepting this installation in two
installments, i.e. some $7, 700.00 worth of pipe to be installed
in 1958 with the balance to be installed in 1959.
After a lengthy discussion by the members of the Board, upon
motion by Councilman Santoro, who stated in offering his motion
that he was in accord with the Attorney's very comprehensive mem-
orandum, and upon seconding by Councilman Brush, who stated he
was seconding based upon the AttorneyYs memorandum, upon roll
call, it was unanimously
RESOLVED that this Board approves in principle the
settlement recommended by the Town Attorney in his
memorandum to the Supervisor and members of the
Town Board submitted under date of January 20, 1958,
FURTHER RESOLVED that the Town Attorney is in-
structed to prepare an agreement in substance carry-
ing out the terms of such a settlement and to present
such an agreement to this Board for its approval,
FURTHER RESOLVED that the approval of the settle-
ment is conditioned upon and subject to approval by
the Westchester Joint Water Works No, 1 of the pay-
ment by said Westchester Joint Water Works No. 1
of $1, 000, 00 for an easement through the property of
Soundview Woods, Inc, for the new water transmission
p sins from Delaware Acqueduct shaft # 22.
Roll Call:
Councilman Brush - Aye
Supervisor Burchell - Aye
CouncilmanKane - Aye
Councilman Santoro - Aye
(Note: Councilman Waterman was not present and

(2) Communication from McGovern, Vincent & Connelly--Request for
Transfer of Bus Franchise
The Attorney recommended approval of the request of Mc-
Govern, Vincent & Connelly as stated in their communication of
December 18, 1957, for transfer of the existing franchise from
Liberty Coaches, Inc, to their client, The Yonkers Railroad Co. ,
purchasers of the Yonkers-Playland route, which was referred
to him by this Board for report.
Whereupon, on motion by Councilman Kane, seconded by
Councilman Brush, it was unanimously
RESOLVED that the Town Board hereby approves
the transfer of the consent or franchise of Ber-
nacchia Bros., Inc. , as contained in the resolu-
tion of the Town Board adopted on October 14,
1936, and thereafter transferred to Liberty
Coaches, Inc, by resolution of the Town Board
adopted on March 3, 1954, to The Yonkers Rail-
- road Co. , as requested in the communication of
McGovern, Vincent & Connelly, dated December
18, 1957, and filed herewith.
(3) Complaint of Howell Park Association--Tennyson Nursery
C a
Regarding the matter of the use and expansion of business at
the Tennyson Nursery at 144 Weaver Street, Larchmont, which
had been called to the Board's attention by Mr. Frank O'Donnell
of the Howell Park Association at the meeting on December 10,
1957, and referred to the Attorney and Building Inspector for
study and report, the Attorney stated that upon investigation, the
Building Inspector and he were unable to find any proof of this
property's use as a nursery prior to the adoption of the Zoning
Ordinance in 1922 and therefore, subject to the owner providing
such proof, it was their opinion that this use was in violation of
the Zoning Ordinance.
(4) Requestfor Public Hearing
The Attorney stated that Mr, George Forbes, attorney for
Josephine Masticciolo d/b/a Leon's Taxi Service, had re-
quested the Town's consent for his client to operate a bus over

to hold a public hearing on this matter, recommended that the
Clerk be authorized to publish the necessary notice calling the
hearing for the next meeting of the Board.

Councilman Brush, it was unanimously
