PRELIMINARY HEARING - BLOCK 403 PARCELS 1 & 6 - BLOSSOM TERRACE Mr. Robert J. Hecker, an Attorney of White Plains , submitted Mr. Porcelli ' s application to the Board and stated that Mr. Porcelli ' s father had given his son, the applicant, two lots (#5 and 6) . The applicant wants to build a one family house on a lot approximately 49.26 x 100 (lots 5&6) which is zoned R-2F. The Board questioned as to why the applicant could not build a two family house on the four lots including lots 1 & 2. The remaining four lots owned by Mr. Porcelli 's father are already occupied by a house and a two car garage which under the present zoning law are non-con- forming. The Board felt that if they granted Mr. Por- celli 's application and at some future date the lots now occupied by Mr. Porcelli 's father (lots 3,4,7&8) were to be sold they would create a non-conforming piece of property. After further discussion the Board decided they would have to consult with Mr. Johnston, the Town Attorney and Mr. Paonessa, the Building Inspector before they would be able to set a date for a Public Hearing on the application. REZONING OF PROPERTY - FENIMORE ROAD - VILLAGE OF MAMARONECK The Town Board had requested the Planning Board to study the application that was before the Mamaroneck Village Board for a rezoning of the property on Fenimore Road, formerly owned by Guy Protano. The property is presently owned by Brian Fielding and the Mamaroneck Indoor Tennis, Inc. is requesting permission to add the designation CR (commercial recreation) to the present zoning which is R-6 Residential or 0-1 Office Business to allow the construction of a building to house eight tennis courts . Mr. Maggini had spoken to the Town of Mamaroneck resi- dents who live adjacent to the proposed tennis facility and they are objecting to the application. The residents feel that the proposed facility does not conform to the neighborhood and they are worried about the increase in traffic. The Chairman had spoken to Mrs. Helwig, the Supervisor, and they had concluded that the Town residents should be given consideration. OLD BUSINESS - WILD OAK ESTATES Mr. Elfreich had spoken to Mr. Johnston, the Town Attor- ney, who had suggested the Town Engineer write a letter to the developer to try and complete the improvements. Mr. Elfreich explained that four people had posted the bond to be held until the work was completed, in the amount of $14,000.00 and the work has not been completed in accordance with Town standards. The Town Engineer stated that in his opinion the $14,000.00 would cover the work to be completed if the road is to be dedicated to the Town. ADJOURNMENT There being no further business to come before this meet- ing it was adjourned at 10:00 P.M. Rita A. Johnson, ISe retary toy 'lei
