by the Town of Mamaroneck Planning Board
Jonathan Avellino, William Lachenauer and Anthony Gioffre presented their revised
proposal for the reconstruction of the single family home at 5 Valley Stream Road, within
the wetlands buffer zone of the Sheldrake River. The revised proposal addressed the

the construction of a new single family home at 1195 Old White Plains Road. As
proposed, CZMC found the proposal to be consistent with the policies of the LWRP.

"Structures, districts and sites designated pursuant to this policy shall be protected
against significant adverse change and, where appropriate, restored or rehabilitated for
adaptive reuse. In this context "adverse change" means, among other things, demolition
or removal in whole or in part, or inappropriate alteration of or addition to the
architectural, structural, ornamental or functional features of a building, structure,
earth work, or site that is a recognized historical, cultural, or archaeological resource or
component thereof, or an action within 500 feet of such a structure, or anywhere within
such a district, that would be incompatible by virtue of location, scale, design, color,
texture, pattern, line, setback, landscaping or similar characteristics, with the
preservation of the quality and integrity of the designated structure or district. In a
historic district, adverse change may also take the form of incompatible improvements in
infrastructure elements such as street and sidewalk paving, street furniture and lighting. "
This property is located within Larchmont Manor on Map 610. The applicant has
provided no reason for the demolition of the structure beyond selling the property as a
vacant parcel.

comments from last month. These changes will be accepted and a clean copy of the
report will be circulated. The next draft, when completed, will include the appendices
