PUBLIC HEARING - SUBDIVISION OF LOT ON SOUTH RIDGE ROAD - BLOCK 206 PARCEL 531 Mr. and Mrs. Frederick Landmann, the owners of the property in question were represented by Mr. George P. Forbes, Jr. an Attorney, of 7 Woodland Avenue, Larchmont, New York. The Board members had inspected the site and commented that they would like to stipulate that the front of any proposed house shall not be set behind a line drawn from the right rear corner of #7 and the middle break of #15 as indicated on a sketch prepared by the Town Engineer. The Board pointed out that it would be to the Landmann' s advantage particularly when they wanted to sell their home. After further discussion the Board decided they would approve the application but would ask the Town Attorney if the Board had the right to stipulate in the Resolution the location of the proposed house on the lot. The Board advised Mr. Forbes to have Mr. Spinelli , the Surveyor, submit the final map showing the actual square footage of both the lots and plot the location of a proposed house. The following Resolution was duly adopted: WHEREAS, Mr. and Mrs. Frederick E. Landmann, owners of the premises located on South Ridge Road and known on the Tax Assessment Map of the Town of Mamaroneck as Block 206 Parcel 531 and shown on a Survey done by Mr. Sal Spinelli , New York State Land Surveyor (License No. 23043) and dated January 25, 1976, have filed with this Board an application for the approval of the subdivision of this plat; and WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 276 and 277 of the Town Law, a Public Hearing was held on March 10, 1976 after notice was published in the of- ficial newspaper of the Town of Mamaroneck, the Daily Times ; and WHEREAS , this Board has examined the plans and determined that the same are all satisfactory, NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the application of Mr. and Mrs. Frederick E. Landmann be approved and the Chair- man of the Planning Board is hereby authorized to sign such subdivision map as evidence of the approval of same. PRELIMINARY HEARING - APPLICATION FOR SUBDIVISION OF LOT ON LARCH LANE - BLOCK 203 PARCELS 213 and 260 Mr. Thomas J. McEvoy, the Surveyor and Mr. Robert M. Riley, the applicant, appeared before the Board. The Board made the same statement as in the previous appli- cation regarding whether they had the right to stipulate the location of a future house. It was pointed out again that it would be to Mr. Riley' s advantage and the only problem was that in order to comply with the Zoning Regu- lations there would be restrictions as to the size and type of house that could be built. Mr. Riley decided he would discuss the problem with Mr. McEvoy and the Chairman would advise the Secretary to arrange for the Public Hearing to be held at the next meeting on April 14, 1976.

N. Y. March 11 , 1976 OWENs 8-8300 To: Town Board From: Mr. Fred L. Maggini , Chairman of Planning Board Subject: Application for Rezoning of Dandry Property from 0B-1 to L. I. - Block 501 Parcel 1 In reference to the above-mentioned application, the Planning Board disapproves of the change of zoning from 08-1 to L. I. because in the event that the proposed "Nursery Use" should terminate at anytime in the future, the land could then be used for light industry which may or may not be compatible to the existing neighborhood land use. The Planning Board recommends the following: 1. That the applicant be asked to amend his rezoning request to read from OB-1 to Busi- ness and that the Town Board favorably consider such rezoning. C2. That subparagraph (7) be added to our zoning regulations "Permitted Use" column to read as follows : Nursery Use: for the sale of plants , trees , shrubbery, nursery stock, seeds , nursery supplies , fertilizers , soil conditioners, garden hand tools and accessories ; gardener's masonry and incidental sup- plies. (fruits, vegetables and food not permitted) The land area to be 60,000 sq. ft. or more if used for Nursery business purposes. 3. That the proposed nursery at the above location be permitted a Zoning Variance to permit the outdoor storage of plants, trees, shrubbery, flowers and gardener's build- ing supplies that are incidental to the Nursery Business only. 4. That the Nursery business not be permitted the storage or sale of chemicals , mater- ials, supplies or equipment that would create unpleasant odors, create dust, make un- pleasant noises or be stored or located as to be unattractive to the residents in the neighborhood. 5. That the suggestion made by the Westchester County Planning Department that the parking spaces on the Palmer Avenue entrance be modified or relocated so as to make the inlet flow of trafficiii0e smoothly. (If the first four parking space users were maneuvering in or out they would hold up the Palmer Avenue entrance traffic and cause a traffic holdup similar to that experienced at the Daitch Shopwell Shopping Center. ) 6. That the owner be asked to observe the traffic flow through the nursery and that necessary changes in the parking or traffic flow be made so as to reduce or eliminate traffic restrictions or traffic hazards on Palmer Avenue that may be caused by the Nur- sery Business. TOWN OF MAMARONECK PLANNING BOARD MAMARONECK /� NEW YORK 740W EST POST ROAD MAMARONECK, N. Y. OWENS 8-8300 March 11 , 1976 To: Town Board, 2 7. Since the residents of Harrison Drive expressed apprehension concerning "commercial traffic" on Harrison Drive if the nursery business is allowed and if it is decided such a condition will exist the Town police should consider posting Harrison Drive as "Commercial Traffic not Permitted". The Planning Board is of the opinion that because of the hills, turns and narrowness of the road commercial traffic will not be a problem. Fred L. Maggini , Chairman FLM:ra j ,/�:.Lt
