wished to be heard in favor of this application.
Mr. Nathan Shuman, an attorney, with
an office at 271 North Avenue,
New Rochelle, represented the applicant and submitted a picture of the
proposed 2-story apartment building .
Mr . Shuman said he would like to clear up what he believes is an
erroneous impression about the property, and then went on to describe
it as being 200 feet front on Chatsworth Avenue between Garfield
Street and Adams Street, and bounded on the west by a "four-fa-oily
ramshackle building" . The land is low and within one
block of 6-story
aaartments. The contemplated building, he said-, will be not more
than a 2-story, garden-type apartment house, occupying not more than
60% of the land area.. He believes it would improve the appearance of
the area, and would raise considerable taxes for the Town. It had
been carried as tax exempt while owned by the Town. It was purchased

He said he understood that Mr. Carnoy had, at one time, offered to
purchase this property from the Town (if the property could be re-
zoned) but the contract had never been consumated.

Mr. Richard Fisk, 10 Oxford Road; Mr . Allen K. Strong, 100 Madison
Avenue; and Mr. Richard S . Cowen, 46 Vine Road, asked questions about
possible plans, etc.
Mr. Irwin Rosenzweig, representing the application, explained that
the proposed building would be a luxury type apartment and would rent
for about $50. a room. He said there seemed to have been some sort
of a misunderstanding which resulted when one of their representatives
remarked to a resident of the neighborhood, "If the persons now
existing in this neighborhood were to build 'houses, would you be
better off than with the type of apartment we contemplate building?'p
He said the building would front on North Chatsworth Avenue.
Mr. Frank X. O'Donnell, Jr. , 100 Palmer Avenue, asl.ed how many garages
would be built to accommodate the apartment and was told the owners
would build whatever was required by the Zoning Ordinance of the
Town and Federal or State regulations .
Mr . O'Donnell then asked if the present owner had known what the
assessed value had been at the time they purchased the property.
Mr. Rosenzweig answered that they had known the assessment was $10,500.
?sir . T . D . Poucher, S Roosevelt Avenue; Mr. Harry Bachreich, Edgewood
Avenue; Mr. W. C . Geoghegan, L,.6 North Chatsworth Avenue; Mr. Julian
Bers, 9 Lafayette Road; and Mr. Sidney Bierman, 54 Maple Hill Drive,
t hahges whether there had been any understanding
pin c
asked about �o -� , ,
g
with the Town at the time of the sale, etc. The applicant replied that
there had not been any understanding.
The Supervisor then suggested that one person should speak for the
group opposing the a
h lication and Mr. Rex_ Ricardi, 15 Lafayette
,u p
Road, so spoke,.
Mr. Ricardi said he was both confused and overwhelmed by the "marvelous
turnout" . He said he would gladly speak for the Lafayette Road
section and would vigorously oppose the changing of zoning of property
in the locality of property which "I purchased and invested money in" .
He went on, "we are all refugee cliff dwellers. We came to Larc'miont
to give our children a little more room and to enjoy the luxury of
a seat in the train going to and from our daily toil. I thin? these
people are presumptious in coining into this community without any
preliminary investigation and having the temerity to come before
this body of men and tell them - " 'we bought a piece of property in
An "A1l zone and 'want it changed to "B" so we can make some money and
get out' . Some one went into one of my neighbors' houses and he did
make a statement which is un-American and in my judgment, odious and
invidious . There was some mention made of Mr. Carnoy. He has been
a neighbor of ours for some 3 years . As a builder, he made some fair
contributions to the development of this area. He had the same idea

"Mr. Chairman, you will earn the everlasting gratitude of every public-
spirited_ citizen of this community if that area, were devoted to recrea-
bona
l facilities in the form of a park and in all deference to that
wonderful colony in Long Island, let us not 'Jackson Heights'
Larchmont" .
Mr. Leo Fish, S Huguenot Drive, said he hoped the application would
be denied.
Mr. Frank O 'Donnell said he is a. -nember of the Howell Park Associa-
tion and he knows how that organization feels about this matter . He
analyzed the tax situation in relation to apartment houses, by -leans
of a chart which he said had been prepared by Mrs . Louis M. Bernstein,
1 Huguenot Drive.

Mr. Joseph B. wise, 74 Edgewood Avenue, felt that a vote should be
taken at once.
Mr. George D . Burchell, 30 Stoneyside Drive, said he has been a resi-
dent of the community for many years and among other civic offices,
had had held that of Chairman of the Zoning Board. He said the
residents of Larchmont Gardens are opposed to this application as
they feel that, among other reasons, it would be a flagrant case
of spot zoning . He believes the burden of proof is on the petitioner
_ to establish that there is a need for re-zoning. He feels that a
study or survey should be made of the entire Town regarding zoning and
the traffic situation and it is a matter which should be handled very
cautiously. He feels the application should be denied.
Mr. Robert Parsons, 42 North Chatswor th Avenue s pointed out that not
only has Larchmont a great many attractive homes, but also that it
has very few unattractive homes. He feels that the word "garden" is
a misnomer when applied to apartments and that any likeness "between
e garden and these apartments is purely coincidental."
Mr. Joseph L . Seely, 8 Serpentine Trail, said he represented. 100 mem-
bers of the Pine Brook Association at this meeting, all of whom feel
this application should be denied.
Mr. william, G . Ball, 19 Concord Avenue, representing the 6th District
Home Owners, Association, wished to oppose the application and said•n the III'
he had talked with Mr . T . J . Ahern, Superintendent of Schools r
Town, who more or less verified what Mr. O'Donnell had said concerning
the possible overcrowding of the school rooms®

be created.
Mr. Edmund B. Van Hook, 198 Weaver Street, represented the Larchmont
Gardens Civic Association, and said he wanted to go on record as
opposing the application on behalf of the organization.
Mr. William J . McWilliams, 99 Willow Avenue, said "even as far as
Woodbine Avenue, being a part of the Town, we are directly affected."
His association, the Woodbine Park Association, would like to see
apartments limited to 2 1/2 garden type apartments, throughout the
Town.
The Supervisor said the Board would take the matter under advisement
and render a decision in due time.
Mr. Shuman requested permission to reply to some of the remarks which
had been made.
He said the property cannot be used for residential property and he
believes it would be only fair to have a representative meet with
the builder and try "to get together" .
Mr. William Geoghegan, 46 :north Chatsworth Avenue, also suggested
that the property might be turned into a playground and said he
would be willing to contribute $100. if a group would get together
and purchase the property and then turn it over to the Town.
Mr. Simon Hauser, 45 Eton Road, said, 11Larchmont is one of few
towns which has not been commercialized and this meeting c fully
demonstrates that we want to keep it the way it is."

Mr. Julian Bers presented petitions requesting that the application
be denied.
There being no one else who wished to address the Board, the Super-
visor declared the public hearing closed in order that the Board
might proceed with the usual order of business.
Mr. Price Topping presented a petition, dated December 161 1952, and
signed by 47 residents of the Town of Mamaroneck, petitioning the Town
Board to amend the Zoning Ordinance of the Town of Mamaroneck and to
change the map accompanying and forming a part of said Ordinance, so as
to change the zoning of Block 4.01 Parcel 1, from "B-2 Residential" to
"A-Residential°' .
Mr. Delius was asked to explain the Town' s position.
He said that until a permit is granted, the Town can re-zone the pro-
perty after a public hearing, and assuming that, after such hearing,
the Town Board decided to re-zone said property, the owner could then,
having purchased it prior to the re-zoning, naturally apply to the Zoning
Board for a variance on the theory that he had a case of hardship,
since he had purchased the property with the intention of erecting
an apartment house, and in the event the Zoning Board refused to grant
the variance, the owner would have the right to review its decision
in Court.
Mr. Fred L . Maggini, 87 Palmer Avenue, said he was appearing in sup-
port of the petition.
The Supervisor informed Mr. Topping that the Board would study the
matter.
Mr. M. P . Medwick, 77 Cooper Lane, appeared and presented an estimate

Mr. William M. Gross, representing the Griffin Development Corp. made
ment
application for the installation of a water main in his development
known as Stonewall Lane. The pipe is to connect with the water main
in Old White Plains Road and to run into Stonewall Lane, a distance

The Town Attorney explained to the Board, in connection with the pur-
chase by Sales Management, Inc. of property known as Block_ 224, Par-
cels 771 and 772, which was sold at auction on June 11, 1952 and con-
sists of a narrow strip and a triangular piece of property lying
between Bonnie Briar Lane and the former Bill property, that the
Title Company had determined that the strip was not owned by Rock-
ledge Holding Corp. from whom the Town had accepted a deed in lieu of
foreclosure in 1947, but that the property is owned by a defunct tor-
s
poration, Rockland Knolls, Inc. , and that attorneys for the purchasers,
(Sales Management Corp.) had straightened this matter out by obtaining
from the President of Rockland Knolls, Inc . , a deed running to the
Town, with the idea that this should be recorded and. the Town then
close the matter on the original basis . He was authorized to pro-
ceed as suggested.
On the matter of the Weaver Street sidewalk, he reported that he had
received a letter from Jean Higgins conta.ining aqualified acceptance
of the bid of "1,250 but that Bernard Miller had not as yet accepted
the offer made to him, pending some arrangement satisfactory to him,
- - regarding the replacement of the fence.
In connection with the acceptance of Leafy Lane as a Town street, Mr .
Delius stated that efforts over a. period of 6 months to obtain signa- l
tures from property owners on that street to a deed giving title to
the Town, had been unsuccessful and that only a few of the necessary 1
parties had signed. He suggested that it might be possible to accept
