APPROVAL OF MINUTES
The minutes of the meeting of June 12, 1974 were presented
and on motion duly made and seconded, approved as submitted.
APPLICATION OF MR. FRANK MICELLI FOR SPECIAL PERMIT - BLOCK 131
PARCELS 36 & 40
Mr. Francis A. Auletta, an Attorney of 350 Mamaroneck
Avenue, Mamaroneck, New York, represented the applicant.
The Chairman asked the Secretary to read the rider attached
to Mr. Micelli 's application to the Town Board for a Spec-
ial Permit to construct a one story building 40'x40' for
the maintenance and storage of buses. In the rider the
applicant stated that in his previous application which
was approved by the Town Board on September 6, 1972 Mr.
Micelli was permitted to use his property for the main-
tenance ,service and storage of contractor's equipment
and school buses. The rider stated that because of the
slow down of the construction business the applicant has
found it necessary to decrease his need for the entire
property as a contractor's storage yard and the bus ten-
ant is not financially able to assume the full use of
the entire property and garage threatening to leave un-
less a new arrangement can be made. The applicant there-
fore has decided to divide the entire parcel of 15,000
sq. ft. into two parcels of 7,500 sq. ft. each and erect
a small maintenance building to service and store 13 school
buses on Parcels 36 and 40.
Mr. Auletta stated that the present certificate of occu-
pancy is for the entire lot and each parcel would be 75'
x100' . The proposed building would be a one story build-
ing 40' x40' primarily for the maintenance and storage
7.
of school buses. Mr. Auletta said the reason for the
request is for economy and the bus owner would be able
to save about $600. a month on his rent. Mr. Auletta
further stated that across the street from the site in
question is the City of New Rochelle and the proposed
use would be permitted according to their zoning.
Mr. Maggini questioned as to what the existing building
would be used for and Mr. Auletta said that the applicant
already has a prospective tenant who wants to use the
building for a warehouse. It was pointed out that the
two parcels would be separated by a wall and chain link
fence. The Board, also, questioned as to the drainage
and what provision the applicant intended to make for
waste oil storage and the disposition of the waste water
from the washing of the equipment. The Board decided
the same provision should be made as in the previous ap-
plication.
Mr. Blair questioned as to whether there was any rock
and Mrs. Carlson asked about the service the buses were
providing. Mr. William F.McAloon, President of the Beech-
mont Bus Service and Mr. Micelli ' s tenant discussed his
bus routes.
After further discussion the Board asked the Secretary
to write a memo to the Town Board advising them of the
Board' s decision to recommend the approval of the appli-
cation with the following provisions :
1 . That adequate provision be made for waste oil storage
similar to that in gasoline service stations.
2. That adequate provision be made for the disposal of
waste water from the washing of the equipment.
3. That adequate provision be made for off-street park-
ing for all employees.
