MATTERS NOT ON AGENDA The Supervisor inquired whether there was any other matter not on the agenda to come before the Board and the following persons addressed the Board; MR. C. W. MOODY -- Mr. Moody stated that he had appeared before the Board on October 3, 1956, to request a Building Permit, after denial by the Building Inspector, for the erection of a house on Winged Foot Drive, approximately 700 feet from Fenimore Road and fronting on a portion of the street not paved and otherwise improved in accordance with the Planning Board specifications as provided in Section 280-A of the Town Law. He explained that he now desired to erect a second house on this property and requested a permit for this house in the same manner that the Board had granted his previous request on October 3rd. Upon inquiry by the Board, Mr. Friedlander, the Building Inspector, advised that Mr. Moody had not filed formal application nor plans for this second house and the Board therefore requested Mr. Moody to file his application and plans with the Building Inspector in accordance with the usualprocedure. MR. HUBERT FINNERTY -- Mr. Finnerty appeared at the invitation of the Board in con- nection with his request regarding the installation of side- walks and curbs in front of his property at Jobs #33 and #36 Blossom Terrace. The Board thanked Mr. Finnerty for coming and the Super- visor and members of the Board questioned Mr. Finnerty about the sale by him or his organization of certain houses on Blossom Terrace which were apparently built as two-family houses although the area of the plots is of insufficient size for such construction according to the Zoning Ordinance. The Board called to Mr. Finnerty's attention the fact that two or three persons had appeared at the last meeting of the Board who found themselves in the predicament of purchasing two- family houses where the Zoning requirements were for one- family dwellings. In reply, Mr. Finnerty stated that he had made no such sales; - that all of the purchasers of his houses had been represented legally and had had every opportunity to familiarize themsel- ves with the Zoning regulations before completion of the sale contract. Following some general discussion with regard to Zoning regu- lations and building practices in the Town, Mr. Finnerty ex- plained that the Dime Savings Bank, the mortgagee on his property, required another letter from this Board stating that they could not install sidewalks and curbs at Jobs #33 and #36 Blossom Terrace as had been done with regard to his previous request in connection with Job #32. .After some discussion, on motion by Councilman Santoro, sec- onded by Councilman Waterman, it was unanimously RESOLVED that the Supervisor notify Hubert M. Finnerty or his Corporation that the Town of Ma- maroneck did not favor sidewalk and curb con- struction on premises located on Blossom Terrace at Jobs #33 and #36, which property is #9 and #15 Blossom Terrace, Mamaroneck, at this time. REPORTS The Clerk presented the following reports which were received and placed on file: Report of the Town Clerk for the month of January, 1957. Report of the County Transportation Company, Inc. for year ended December 31, 1956, prepared in accordance with paragraph 25 of Franchise. Report of the County Transportation Company, Inc. re operation of buses for 6-months period ending Decem- ber 3I, 1956, with check in the amount of $121. 13 cov- ering gross earnings tax for that period. REPORT OF THE SUPERVISOR (1) Annual Report of the Supervisor The Supervisor presented the Annual Report for the year ended December 31, 1956, which was received and placed on file. (2) Policy re 9010 refund on water revenues The Supervisor brought up for discussion the present policy of the Town regarding contracts providing for 90% refunds of water revenues derived from water extensions constructed and paid for by developers. He pointed out that these developments were par- tially responsible for the increasing consumption of water which contributed to the necessity for the con- struction of the new water supply line and yet do not actually either pay for the actual cost of the water consumed or any part of the costs of this pipe line for a period of ten years. A study of these developers refunds indicates a grow- ing sum which together with increased costs can and will result in a deficiency in the amount necessary to meet the annual debt service obligations. This con- ceivably could result in an increase in rates or a levy against all property in the water district. He noted that the Town of Harrison had abandoned this form of subsidy and suggested that the members of the Board study this situation to determine whether the Town should continue or amend this policy for the future. (3) Association of Towns Convention The Supervisor reported briefly on the very fine Asso- ciation of Towns of the State of New York Convention at Buffalo on February 12th through 14th attended by -- Mr. Delius, Councilman Brush, Councilman Santoro, Mr. Orsino and himself.

Hartley, Deputy Director of Civil De- fense, for car, gas, and miscellaneous expenses from October 1, 1956, to Jan- uary 1, 1957, in the amount of $63. 90, be approved; payment to be made from the item in the budget for such purpose.
