MINUTES OF A REGULAR MEETING OF THE TOWN BOARD OF THE TOWN OF
MAMARONECK, HELD FEBRUARY 16, 1955, IN THE COURT ROOM OF MAMARONECK
TOWN POLICE HEADQUARTERS AT 11 EDGEWOOD AVENUE, TOWN OF MAMARONECK.
PRESENT: Supervisor Mandeville
Councilmen Waterman, Brush, Kane, and McKeever
ABSENT: None
Presence was also noted of Mr. Delius, Town Attorney, and Mr.
Gronberg, Town Clerk.
The Supervisor called the meeting to order at 8:15 P. M. , and the
Clerk presented affidavit of publication of notice of public hear-
ing to be held on the 16th day of February at 8:15 P. M. , for the
purpose of considering a proposition to amend the Zoning Ordinance
of the Town of Mamaroneck so as to add a new paragraph to Article
III , Section 13 of the Zoning Ordinance, to be known as Subdi-
vision 7, which will read as follows:
7. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein con-
tained, a corner lot in a Class C District (Business)
of fronts
on a main thoroughfare
where one side of the 1 street and
another side of the lot fronts on a side s
and
which lot is adjacent to a residential Use District, the
minimum side yard on the side street shall be not less
than ten feet.
Mr. Jerome Wanshel, 6 Beverly Place, Larchmont, appeared for the
petitioners and stated that this is an application by 17 petitioners
and property owners in the Town to change the Zoning Law pertain-
ing to Town zoning, Article 31 Section 13, so as to provide, in
effect, that on any main thoroughfare such as the Post Road, where
there is a business district
or zo ne which is immediately adjacent III
_ to a residence district, and where that meets on a side street
right at the corner, that there be a set-back insofar as the side
street is concerned of 10 feet.
He said this ordinance is not new; it exists in many communities;
which provides for
of Larchmont has a provision and the Village
a 15
_f
oot set-back in similar lar ins
tances . He
feels such an
ordi nance makes sense
an d would improve rove the Town and protect the
III
residential areas.
He said he had submitted photographs for the record, showing the
results of not having such an ordinance, and said that the people
he premarily represents, i.e . those people living on Rockridge
Road, are desirous of protecting the entrance to their homes .
Mr. James Lowry, 8 Rockridge Road and Mr. A. W. Bogardus, 17
Overlook Terrace, were present and registered their approval of the
proposed amendment.
Mr. Anthony Sansone, representing Castro Convertible Corporation,
owner of the property located at 1289 Boston Post Road, a piece
which would be immediately affected, addressed the Board, citing
Zoning Board applications and decisions as well as certain deci-
sions of this Board, and said this was a most unusual application.
He said these people seem to be looking for protection, but
Castro is also looking for protection. As most of the other
corners in the Town are built up, "we are practically talking
which
was assessed se
d fo
r
corner" , a piece of property III
about this c ,
$200 before Mr. Castro paid $3, 500 for it, after which (the next
year) the assessment went up to $3,000. He said if 10 feet is taken
from this property, there will be over 300 of the property made
useless .

Mr. Sansone said the street, 50 feet in width, is wide enough and
that to do what these people are asking, would be to have too much
damage fall on one property owner. He also represented the "lot
across the way" .
I
d.
that the He respectfully requested application be dense P
Mr. John M. Thompson, 1880 Palmer Avenue, objected to the applica-
tion and said he had been authorized to enter a protest for Mary
Mead and others . He presented a petition signed by 9 owners of
property located on the Boston Post Road.
Mr. Irving Keenan, 1320 Boston Post Road, registered objection.
Mr. Edmund B. Van Hook, 198 Weaver Street, said that he is in
favor of the proposed amendment.
The Town Clerk presented a letter, dated February 14, 1955, from
Mr . Rudy Novak, protesting the adoption of this amendment.
Mr. Delius said that if the people,whom Mr. Thompson represents,
constitute 20% of all property owners affected by this amendment,
he would advise the Board that it requires an .affirmative vote
of 4 members of the Board to make this change.
Mr. Delius said it would be impossible for him to tell at this time,
without making some research, whether the names on the petition
constitute 20% of the persons affected in this instance, who are
owners of corner property in a C business zone immediately adjacent
to residential property, which means certainly all corners of the
Boston Post Road, and possibly some others in the business zones
along lower Myrtle Boulevard, etc . -
The Supervisor suggested that the Town Attorney take it up with the
Assessor and make a report.
-- The Board now took up the regular order of business and Mr. Wanshel
appeared for Mr. Frank Guadagnolo and withdrew a petition which he
had submitted to this Board on January 19th, petitioning that the
entire block bounded by Garfield Street, Madison Avenue, Chatsworth
Avenue and Adams Street, in the Town of Mamaroneck, be rezoned
from a residence to a business district.
Mr. George R. Bishop, representing Split Tree Realty Corp*, appeared
and referred to a letter from the Westchester Joint Water Works, No.
1, dated February 7, 1955, addressed to the Supervisor, and stating
that Split Tree Realty Corporation has requested that a water main
be laid in a new street to be known as Salem Drive, from Split Tree
Road to a point approximately 500 feet south, at which point a fire
hydrant will be required. An estimate of the cost of this is extension
was attached to the letter.
On motion by Supervisor Mandeville, seconded by Councilman McKeever,
it was, upon roll call, unanimously
RESOLVED that the Town Board hereby approves the usual agree-
ment between Westchester Joint Water Works, No. 1, Split Tree
Realty Corp. , and the Town of Mamaroneck, for the installation
of a water main to be laid in a new street to be known as
Salem Drive, from Split Tree Road to a point approximately
500 feet south, at which point a fire hydrant will be
required, at a total cost not to exceed $1, 618.86, provided
that applicant furnish an easement satisfactory to the Town
Attorney.
FURTHER RESOLVED that the agreement provide that refund up
to 90% of revenues derived from the sale of water to cus-

authorization to employ an expert to testify.

Mr. Delius reported that sentiment through the State is divided on
the question of the new town equalization rates. Some county boards
have accepted the State rates ; in other counties, appeals are pending
by the cities where county authority has not adopted the State rates;
and in still other counties, the sentiment is that equalization for
county taxes should be strictly a county matter and the provisions
regarding appeal to the State Tax Commission should be repealed .
There being no further business, the meeting adjourned at 10 P. M. ,
and immediately reconvened as the Board of Fire Commissioners .
