Supervisor Mandeville called the meeting to order at 8: 15 P . M. PRESENT: Supervisor Mandeville Councilmen Embury, Kane and McKeever ABSENT: Councilman Waterman Presence was also noted of the Clerk, Mr. Gronberg, the Attorney, Mr. Delius, the Accountant, Mr. Finson, the Superintendent of Highways, Mr. O'Brien, and Police Chief Yerick. The Supervisor said the Board would dispense with its regular order of business and hold the public hearing which had been ad- vertised for this meeting, in connection with property known on the Tax Map as parts of Parcels L+63 and L+73 and all of Parcel 556, Block 410. The Clerk read the published notice of the hearing. The Supervisor then said he would like to state his position. He is in the business of selling real estate and his firm had been called upon by the First National Stores, Inc. to recommend a site for a shopping center. After about 6 months, the property in question was decided upon. He said he had no intention of voting on the matter nor had he discussed it with any of the members of the Board. The Supervisor said he would follow the usual procedure in these hearings and call first upon those in favor of the application. Mr. John N. Thompson, a real estate broker, 1880 Palmer Avenue, said he represented Castro Convertible, a furniture show room at 1289 Boston Post Road, who wishes to urge the granting of this re-zoning application. Mr. Joseph P . Johnston, 17 Bonnett Avenue, an attorney for Mr. and Mrs . Henry Dietz, the applicants, addressed the Board and explained the application in detail. He explained that stores could be built on the property line to a depth of 100 feet but it is felt that the appearance of the building and the safety of the people who would patronize it, will be better served by having the building set back 150 feet and the parking in front. Mr. Thomas B. Sutton, a real estate broker with an office at 179 Boston Post Road, believes something should be done about the parking situation in the Town, before it is "too later', and the Town needs the shopping center. Those in opposition to the application spoke next. Mr. Price H. Topping, 32 Carleon Avenue, President of the Howell Park Civic Association, said his association had invited the buyer and seller to send representatives to a special meet- - - ing at which this matter had been thoroughly considered. Mr. Johnston attended this meeting . The Association is unanimously opposed to the granting of this change of zoning. If, however, an application were made for a zoning variance, he would support it, provided it were "only for the time the property is leased by the First National Stores?' . 155 Mr. C . Benjamin. Brush, Jr., 24 Elkan Road, represented the Elkan Park Association. That Association is opposed to a change of zoning. Mr. William G . Ball, Jr. , 19 Concord Avenue, represented the Sixth District Home Owners' Association of Larchmont. He opposed the re- zoning application but thought, perhaps, an application for a vari- ance should be made. Mr. Frank X. O'Donnell, Jr. , 100 Palmer Avenue, an attorney, thinks the "main danger point in the application is that the change in zoning permits the owner to use the property for any- thing and it might later be used for an apartment house" . He would, therefore, be in favor of an application for a variance. Mr. Theodore S . Bates, 40 Pine Brook Drive, representing the Pine Brook District Property Owners' Association, Inc. said he would go on record "that any change should be done by way of a variance" . Mr. Arthur D. Greenleigh, 24 Rock Ridge Road, thinks "it is most unfortunate that our Town has so little regard for long range planning that the Town has been allowed to go along as it has" . He hopes " steps will be taken to prevent the situation from getting worse." Mr. Charles R. Bragdon, 4 Rock Ridge Road, also believes the property in this area "which was originally residential" , has been allowed to deteriorate along the Post Road. The Supervisor asked the contractor to address the meeting, to explain his plans. --- The Contractor submitted pictures and armounced that if the build- ing is erected, the property will be tied up for 35 years by First National Stores. Parking in the rear is desired in order that the building be set so that over-flow parking will be in the rear. It is planned to have the stores 3 feet above the sidewalk. The proposi- tion includes the use of the entire plot which means that the en- tire property will be tied up for 35 years. Mr. A. Garofalo, 24 .Weaver Street, asked about the water problem. The following went on record as opposing the application: Mr. Otto Scheubel, 3 Rock Ridge Road Mr. Fred L . Maggini, 87 Palmer Avenue Mr. Fred N. Dodenhoff, 23 Weaver Street Mrs. Charles R. Bragdon, 4 Rock Ridge Road Mr. Harry E. Seanor, 7 Rock Ridge Road Mr. Richard T . Loche, 10 Rock Ridge Road The Supervisor declared the hearing closed, as there was no one else present who wished to be heard. Mr. William A. Donovan, 175 Main Street, White Plains, an attor- ney, appeared with reference to the matter of the application of Walter E . Hager, for a curb-cut permit. Mr. McKeever stated that originally Mr. Donovan, on behalf of Mr. Hager, had submitted a sketch map and profile showing the con- struction of the driveway and that, at his request, this original sketch and profile map had been amended and the Town had been fur- nished with a map made by Sal Spinelli, licensed surveyor, dated November 3, 1952. 157 After discussion, the Town Attorney was instructed to prepare a resolution in proper form for submission to Mr. Donovan for his approval, said resolution to be discussed at the next meeting of the Town Board. Mr. Bernard L. Miller, 286 Weaver Street, appeared in connection with the acquisition of part of his property for the Weaver Street sidewalk, and discussed with the Board, the situation in which he finds himself. He asked that the Engineer and Super- intendent of Highways visit the premises and accurately set out the premises required for the sidewalk and the area to be taken by the Town. The Board advised him that this would be done . Supervisor Mandeville suggested that the present fence be re- placed by an open wire one. Mr. Miller said he wished, at this time, to go on record as objecting to the parking on Heather Lane. Mr. C . W. Moody submitted blue prints of property he will develop in the area of Winged Foot Drive and Fenimore Road, known as Block 204, Parcel 247 on the Assessment Map of the Town and said he would like to have some "advice" . After hearing Mr. Moody and seeing his maps, the Board went on record as approving his plans for bringing water and sewer to the area. On motion by Councilman Kane, seconded by Councilman McKeever, the minutes of December 17th, 1952, were approved as submitted.
