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.

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. -2- January 13, 1988 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. APPROVAL OF MINUTES On motion by Mr. Cannon, seconded by Mr. Bell, the minutes of the meeting of November 9, 1988 were unanimously approved as corrected.
