to address the Board.
The Town Clerk informed the Board that Dr. Sol Shapera , who
was present with Mr. Thomas Skinner , had just filed a petition with
seventeen (17) names for the attention of the members of the Board. The
petition stated the objections of the signers of the use of the property
known as 652 Boston Post Road , as an automobile wreckint place.
Mr. Frank J. Nardozzi , attorney , representing Mr. Anthony
Annunziata , the prospective purchaser of 652 West Boston Post Road , asked
to address the Board. He explained that his client intended to use the
property for an outdoor sales space with the possibility of building a
regular salesroom for automobiles and parts , after the war. "These are
the premises on which we bid," he said. We are not coming here for the
purpose of misleading the Board and the people of this community."
Typewritten extracts of the Village zoning ordinances were
at hand , and the Town Attorney was asked to define the provisions of
155
the ordinances. The Town Attorney stated that without the whole printed
form of the ordinances , it would be very hard to give the complete de-
finition of the ordinances as they related to the question of the use
referred to.
Dr. Sol Shapera referred to his letter and the petition of
the people of the neighborhood and stated that this question concerning
the use had arisen after the last Village Board meeting at which the
sale was approved.
There was full discussion during which the Supervisor reminded
the members of the Board that the bid of the prospective purchaser
present was not the only bid, nor was it the highest net bid.
Dr. Shapera referred to the Village zoning ordinances , and
there was discussion as to whether or not it would be necessary for
a variance for the use referred to.
Mr. Nardozzi discussed the provisions of the zoning ordinances
with the members of the Board. Following further discussion, Councilman
Keeler moved and Councilman Embury seconded the following resolution
which was , upon roll call , unanimously adopted;
WHEREAS , the zoning restrictions affecting pro-
perty known as 652 Boston Post Road come under
the jurisdiction of the Village of Mamaroneck;
NOW THEREFORE , BE IT
RESOLVED, that the Town Board defer action until
the Village Board of the Village of Mamaroneck has
had an opportunity to reconsider the sale of this
property for the use proposed by the prospective
purchaser.
The Supervisor suggested that while consideration was being
given to the properties approved for sale by the Village of Mamaroneck
that it might be well to consider the bid of $1250. on the property known
as Trupel-Shaw building , and which bid was the only one received for this
property. He added that a certified copy of the resolution approving the
bid had been received from the Village.
It was on motion by Councilman Keeler , seconded by Councilman
Stiner , upon roll call , unanimously resolved:

however , is conditioned upon similar action being taken
by the Town Board of the Town of Mamaroneck; and

of the Town of Mamaroneck to approve such offer and to

cussion with the New Rochelle authorities with reference to the bridge

some talk about getting the County to take the bridge over .
The Supervisor stated that he believed that the municipality

Following further discussion the matter was left on the

Town Board as to the procedure.
Councilman Keeler reported that the Fire Chief has re-
quested that the siren now used as an alarm in connection with civilian
protection be continued permanently for the use of the Fire Department ,
as some members of the Department are in sections where the fire whistle
cannot be heard. This , Councilman Keeler , explained , has come about
through discussions on the repairs to the cupola where there is a
temporary cable , which could be removed if the siren is made permanent.
The cable is attached to the cupola from the service lines a distance
away and during storms causes quite a pull on the structure. He re-
commended that the request of the Fire Chief be approved.

being made to the cupola.

ing of the Tovin Board.
He said that while he favored the sale of the property for
Mr. Beringer ' s offer of $1 ,000 , he did not wish to do anything which
would effect the assessment roll. He explained that Ir. Beringer ,
along with the cash offer , had asked for some adjustment on the
assessment.
The Supervisor asked the Comptroller to go to the telephone
and ask Mr. Beringer to make clear his offer . The Comptroller reported ,
