PRELIMINARY HEARING - BLOSSOM GROVE SUBDIVISION
Mr. David Jutkowitz, Mr. Spencer' s Attorney said that
he had been in touch with Mr. Johnston, the Town Attorney,
regarding the right-of-way and he had understood that
Mr. Johnston was to have sent a memo to the Planning Board
regarding the legality of the right-of-way. The Planning
Board had not received the memo. Mr. Jutkowitz, also,
said that the sale of the property had been approved by
the Board of Education and Mr. Spencer expected to take
title to the property in the near future.
The Board discussed the plan that Mr. Spencer had submitted
and the applicant agreed to change the lot line and add
the parcel marked " I" on to lot 10. Mr. Spencer said
that the subdivision conforms in all respects to the Zon-
ing Regulations.
Mr. John Ibelli of 987 Palmer Avenue who represented the
Palmer Avenue Association said that the neighbors were
concerned about the appropriate construction as well as
the zoning and they appreciated the fact that the Board
had been reasonable in regard to the cul-de-sac. Mr.
Ibelli questioned the location of the houses on lots 9
and 10 and said that the revised plan looked the same
as the one that had been submitted previously. Mr. Spencer
agreed to locate the houses so that they would not be
too close to the existing dwellings. Mr. Ibelli , also,
said that the neighbors on Blossom Terrace were concerned
about the blasting and the trucks coming through Blossom
Terrace when Mr. Spencer would be building. Mr. Spencer
said that when possible he would probably bring his trucks
and equipment through from Palmer Avenue and the Board
said they did not have the authority to restrict Mr. Spencer's
trucks.
The Chairman asked Miss Gallion if she had any suggestions
and she reminded the applicant that when they were going
to do the curb cuts on Palmer Avenue it would be neces-
sary to obtain a permit from the Westchester County Depart-
ment of Public Works since Palmer Avenue is a County road.
After further discussion the Board told the applicant
that when the problem of the right-of-way had been resolved
with Mr. Johnston, the Town Attorney, and the final map
was prepared the Secretary would arrange for the Public
Hearing.
