Mr. Engel stated that Application 5, Majestic Glass and Mirrors,was adjourned because the required
sign was not posted for the second month in a row. Mr. Block stated the applicant is already a year late
in renewing the special use permit. The Board further discussed whether the expansion of the business
into the adjoining store is a simple renewal or requires a new application, and decided that the
application can go directly to public hearing.
The Board requested that the owner of Majestic Glass be informed, in writing,that he will not be in
compliance of Town Code if does not place the proper signage timely, and appear before the Board next
month. Failure to do so can result in a Violation and closure of his business as he would continue
operating without a permit.

Anderson further stated that the present house and pool are to be removed and zoning conforming
houses are to be built.
The Board discussed the fact the property is bifurcated into two municipalities and how to make sure
that the lots remain conforming in the future.
Ms. Paul asked whether the drainage system is in both municipalities and Mr. Anderson responded that
it is but that erosion control would be reviewed and approved by the Town.
Any accessory structure to be built in Scarsdale would have to go before their Planning Board.
The Board asked counsel to research how to ensure that the property will not be further subdivided to
create zoning lots that do not conform to the Town Zoning requirements and to preclude a future
request for a zoning variance
Ms. Dunkin asked the architect to correct the placement of Mamaroneck Road on the plan.
Mr. Engel stated the matter will be adjourned to October for further consideration.
