HOUSE , LARCHYOyT , IIEVT YORK The meeting was called to order by Supervisor 171andeville , at 8®15 o 'clock P. I . (Eastern Standard Time) PRESETTs Supervisor Mandeville Councilmen: Watson, I:Iills and ITcKeever ABSENT ; Councilman Embur•; Supervisor Yandeville said that the Board would dispense with the regular order of business and hear first from the citizens present who apparently wished to address the Board. He then asked who would do the talking for the group. I1Sr. "lilliam S. Brill , an attorney , stated that he represented the people present , but he thought his statement sr.ould be preceded by a statement from IFr. Delius , the Town Attorney , with respect to petitiorscrhich had been filed with him. Mr . Delius presented the petitions which w ere read by Supervisor Mandeville. Mr . Brill then stated that his principal object in appearing before the Board, was to impress the Board with the necessity of instituting injunction proceedings against the owners of this property known on the Tay Assessment Trap as Block 132 , Parcel 73 , for conducting business in violation of the Zoning Ordinance. Yr. Brill went on to say that an Assumed Name Certificate had been filed in 1947, to operate an automobile repair business at Teo. 6 Fifth Avenue , which is the address of the premises in question. He also said that he had written to the Bureau of VTeights and Pleasures of V7estchester County and they had reported that they had made an inspection of the gasoline pump located at these premises and inspections are only made when gas is publicly sold. Mr . Giacomo stated that he had received permission from Town Engineer Foote and Fire Chief Burton to store his gas in this pump and that it was not for sale. Pictures showing the condition of this property were submitted to the Board by h1.r. Donald W. Hobbs of 97 Madison Avenue. I4r. PTilliam J. Idle.Villiams , an attorney , stated that he represented Piichael and Patsy Giacomo and Joe Ferreira. Mr. Yc7iiliams said that the Giacomos had done repairing on the Town garbage trucks as far back as 1920 before there was any zoning ordinance and as early as 1935, Patsy worked for his father in his garage at that location. 177hen the tear came , all the boys went into the service and during the war , there was very little business. A woodworking shop was put in the tyro-car garage but the old- timers still brought their cars there , even during the war. There was never any abandonment of the business. Mr. IIA0!illiams stated that he had written to Mr. Delius to offer a suggestion that he hoped might lead to an amicable solution. His suggestion was that the garage might be moved to land belonging to Patsy Giacomo and located on the corner of Fifth and Madison Avenues. Dir. Patsy Giacomo told the Board that the business had been started by his father many years ago and had continued up to the _present date. He said , as a little boy, he �,?orked for his father in the garage. 0 Supervisor Piandeville suggested that 11r. ilc':'iilliams and Ir. Brill try to come to some agreement and then appear again before the next Board meeting which will be 1,Iarch 16th, The Supervisor said that no action would be taken on the matter at this present meeting and assured them that the members of the Board would inspect the property in question. The following residents of this area registered their opposition to the business: _ I!ir. and Ilrs . Robert S . MacCallum, 8 Lafayette Road ITT. and I,irs . Alan L. Carnoy, 17 Lafayette Road I.Ir. Donald 71 . Hobbs , 97 Madison Avenue Mr. Rex Riccardi , 15 Lafayette Road Mr. 71. H. 7.1ulp , 11 Lafayette Road 11r. Robert S. hiacCallum complimented the Board on the very excellent snow removal job which had been done after the recent snow storm® Supervisor Mandeville thanked those present for coming. The Supervisor introduced Yr . Monroe J. Cahn, an attorney , who wished to address the Town Board on behalf of his clients , Larchmont Properties , Inc. , Harris Holding Corp. , and Joseph Harris. INr. Cahn said he had received from hir. Delius , a proposed form of agreement as to what would be necessary for his clients to do in order to have the permit reinstated. He said his clients would do all things mentioned in the agreement but he wished to ask, as a matter of favor , if the Board would permit wooden doors to be installed instead of steel doors. He further stated that the wooden doors would meet all the requirements involved in the fire --- hazard and would substantially reduce the expense to his clients. Supervisor, ITandeville said that , in his opinion, the metal doors as far as fire stops are concerned, are more important than the stairs , and he felt the proposed agreement should be adhered to, as written. Members of the Board asked various questions and discussed this matter fully and it was the general opinion of the Board that the agreement , as submitted , should stand. Er. Cahn thanked the Board members for their consideration. The minutes of the meeting of January 19th , 1949 , were ap?roved as amended.
