PUBLIC HEARING--PROPOSED ORDINANCE, REGULATING COMMUTER PARKING AND DESIGNATING CERTAIN AREAS AS OFF-STREET PARKING AREAS. The Clerk presented the Affidavit of Publication of Notice of Public Hearing as published in the official newspaper of the Town of Mamaroneck, The Daily Times, on August 2, 1956, and filed in the Office of the Town Clerk. The Supervisor declared the hearing open and outlined the situation briefly, pointing out some of the questions involved, such as whether the areas should be limited to residents of the Town (such residents including all those of the Village of Larchmont and of that part of the Village of Mamaroneck lying within the Town of Mamaroneck, as well as those of the unin- corporated area), whether decals or meters should be used, and the question of fees to be charged. He explained that as this matter was not immediately pressing, the Board would probably not take any definitive action at this time but would welcome hearing the suggestions, ideas, and thinking of those present and interested. The following persons addressed the Board, all of whom seemed to favor restriction to Town residents and the use of decals with as low a fee as possible providing for maintenance costs and the possible establishment of a sinking fund for future parking purposes Mr. William J. Vey 1 Bryson Street, Town. Mr. Arthur G. Bogardus -- 17 Overlook Terrace, Town. Dr. Lawrence B. Hobson -- 25 Echo Lane, Town. Mr. Harold V. Bozell 37 Lincoln Avenue, Larchmont. Mr. Bozell, who serves as Chairman of the Traffic Commission of the Village of Larch- mont, described the experience of that Vil- lage with regard to its decal parking area at the Larchmont Railroad Station, and advised that said Village had found the best ratio for the sale of decals to be to issue about two- and-one-half (2-112) times as many decals as the number of parking spaces available. Councilman Waterman suggested that a survey be made to find out how many non-Town residents use the parking space and that a study be made of the costs. The Supervisor, upon ascertaining that no one else wished to be heard, declared the hearing closed, and advised that the-Board would report at the next meeting. PUBLIC HEARING--AMENDMENT TO ZONING ORDINANCE -ARTICLE - II, SECTION 3. The Clerk presented the Affidavit of Publication of Notice of Public Hearing as published in the official newspaper of the Town of Mamaroneck, The Daily Times, on August 2, 1956, and filed in the Office of the Town Clerk. Supervisor Burchell declared the hearing open and explained briefly the purpose of this ordinance. The following persons were heard. Mr. George P. Forbes, Jr. -- 8 Devon Road, Town. Mr. Forbes, an attorney representing Mr. Frank Turco of 106 Myrtle Boulevard, Town, who owns property within thirty feet of the proposed park- ing area # 1 at Myrtle Boulevard and Baldwin Street, and Mr. Euclid Brondoli of 635 Center Ave- _ nue, Mamaroneck, the owner of land on Baldwin Street, stated that his clients' properties would de preciate in value because of the nearness of the proposed parking lots unless consideration were to be given to a general rezoning plan for this entire area. Z Mr. Jerome T. Wanshel -- 6 Beverly Place, Larchmont. Mr, Wanshel, along with Mr. Bogardus- and Dr. Hobson, questioned the wording of the ordinance, stating that the words, "usage either private or governmental", were too broad to be set down for future years. All three gentlemen agreed in recommending that the wording of the Village of Larchmont ordinance, as ex- plained by Mr. Forbes at this time, which required that a public hearing be held prior to each such use, be used in this amendment. Mr. Frank X. O'Donnell, Jr. -- 100 Palmer Avenue, Town. Mr. Julian Bers -- 9 Lafayette Road, Town. Both Mr. O'Donnell and Mr. Bers spoke along the same lines as Mr. Wanshel, Mr. Bogardus, and Dr. Hobson. There being no one else who wished to be heard, the Super- visor declared the Hearing closed. The Supervisor thanked the citizens for their suggestions, and particularly thanked Mr. Bozell for attending the meeting and sharing his ex- . perience with the Board, and Mr. Forbes for his explana- tion of the wording of the ordinance used by the Village of Larchmont. Following some further discussion, the members of the Board agreed to hold another Hearing on the proposed amendment to the Zoning Ordinance of the Town of Ma- maroneck -- Article II, Section 3 -- so that the pro- posed amendment would read so as to require that a Public Hearing be held prior to each proposed estab- lishment of an area, owned or leased by the Town, as a municipal off-street or commuter parking area. On motion by Councilman Santoro, seconded by Council- man Kane, it was unanimously RESOLVED that the Town Clerk be and he hereby is directed to publish the following - Notice of Public Hearing in the official newspaper of the Town of Mamaroneck, The Daily Times, not later than ten (10) days prior to the date of said Hearing.
