RESOLVED, that the Public Hearing be, and it hereby is, declared
closed.
Mr. Trachtman explained that many of the conditions which were in his
letter applied to final site plan approval. Such approval was not sought
at this meeting. Mrs. Latona brought up the subject of blasting which
necessitated a re-opening of the Public Hearing. Therefore, on motion by
Mrs. Carson, seconded by Mrs. Latona, it was unanimously
RESOLVED, that the Public Hearing be, and it hereby is, declared
open.
The Public Stenographer was present for the hearing, and his
transcript will become permanent part of the record.
On motion by Mr. Bliwise, seconded by Mrs. Carlson, it was unanimously
RESOLVED, that the Public Hearing be, and it hereby is, declared
closed.
It was felt that the application was substantially in compliance with
subdivision approval requirements. On motion by Mr. Schramm, seconded by
Mr. Bliwise, the Board unanimously directed Mr. Hoffman to draft a
Resolution for approval at the next meeting. In this Resolution N.P.
Associates will be directed to sell Lot 06 within one year of the filing
of the subdivision approval or the lot will become part of Lot #5. Also,
the Resolution will state that the CZMC will have oversight of the
individual building lots, and the Town's standard procedures concerning a
bond and a letter of credit will be included.
2. WORK SESSION - DOHERTY PROPERTY
Corner of Dillon Road and
Gaillard Place
William Widulski, P.E. , and Anthony Catanese, an owner of the property,
appeared before the Board. The proposed subdivision is for three
building lots. One lot of 15,000 square feet has 9,000 square feet in the
Town. The other two lots are in the City of New Rochelle. The Mamaroneck
zoning is for 10,000 square feet, and the New Rochelle zoning is for 7500
square feet.

The present plan shows access from a private driveway rather than from
the paper street, Gaillard Place. Mr. Hoffman said that he would need to
determine whether Zoning Board approval for granting a 280A permit was
necessary. Said permit gives permission for houses to be built on other
than a public road. He also asked for a survey. Mr. Calanise said that
he would send Mr. Hoffman a copy of the title report which includes a
survey.
Mr. Widulski stated that a County sewer easement existed on the property
and that building over the easement was permissable. He also said that
the Town was being approached first as the access to the lots in New
Rochelle was through the Town.
Mrs. Wittner said that New Rochelle had reached a decision concerning the
development behind the property on Gaillard Place which is called Emerson
Estates. She had a copy of the Resolution which Ms. Ng will distribute to
the Board. A natural retention area will be required which should
eliminate at least three houses from the original plans. Also, the houses
must be built above the level of a 100-year flood. The Board recognized
that New Rochelle was not aware when making this decision about Emerson
Estates that Gaillard Place was going to be developed.
Mr. Bell summarized the Board's concerns. These were that the houses are
proposed to be built extremely close to a Critical Environmental Area and
that three is a large number of houses to be built on a private driveway.
Mr. Hoffman said that Mr. Widulski should meet informally with Stephen
Altieri, Town Administrator; Mr. Trachman; William Jakubowski, Building
Inspector; P.T. Leddy, Superintendent of Highways and a Town Attorney to
get the Town's input on this project. This suggestion met with the
Board's approval.

On motion by Mr. Cannon, seconded by Mr. Bell, the minutes of the meeting
of November 9, 1988 were unanimously approved as corrected.
