CALL TO ORDER

APPLICATION NO. 1 - CASE 2126
The Secretary read the application as follows.
Application of Mr. and Mrs. Marvin Wexler requesting variances from
Sections 14-48 A(1) and 14-48 A(2) to construct a swimming pool with a
side yard of 4.0 ft. where 15.0 feet is required, a rear yard of 4.0 ft.
where 20.0 ft. is required and a separation from the principal building of
0.0 ft. where 15.0 ft. is required for a residence in an R-15 Zone
District on the premises located at 40 Carleon Avenue and known on the Tax
Assessment Map of the Town of Mamaroneck as Block 404 Lot 46.
Laurence Tamaccio, architect, appeared. He stated that the Wexler's
property is unusually shaped and small and that placing a pool in the
regular setbacks would be difficult. There is also a large outcropping of
rock on the property. With that outcropping, Mr. Tacaccio placed a lap
pool with a recreational pool at the other end. On the plans, there was a
6 foot-high fence which was not noticed as it was not on the original
plans seen by the Building Inspector. Mr. Tamaccio has proposed two
four-foot retaining walls spaced four feet apart.
Mr. Wexler felt that the pool was huge and took up too much of the yard,
as did Mr. Simon. Mr. Gunther stated that the projects are not works in
progress and asked that Mr. Tamaccio submit a fuller proposal showing
landscaping proposals and the fence.
The application was withdrawn by the applicant to be heard at a later
date.

added structures at the expense of their neighbor's views rather than

illegal three-family residence. She also stated that there were numerous
other multiple family houses in the neighborhood.
