TOWN OF MAMARONECK, HELD JANUARY 28, 1953, AT THE MAMARONECK TOWN
POLICE STATION, 11 EDGEWOOD AVENUE, TOWN OF MAMARONECK.

and called the meeting to order at 8 P . M.
PRESENT: Mr. Brush, Acting Chairman
Mr. Rigano
Mr. Maggini
ABSENT: Mr. Wullschleger, Chairman
Mr. Burke
Presence was also noted of Mr. Delius, Town Attorney, Mr. McEvoy,
Building Inspector, and Mrs. Barnes, recording secretary and Clerk to
the Board.
On motion duly made and seconded, the minutes of the previous meeting
held November 25, 1952, were approved as submitted.
The application before the Board was that of Gustave Kilthau, R. A. ,
agent for John H. Banks, for modification of Article II, Section 3
of the Zoning Ordinance to permit 3-family occupation with adequate
room and sanitary facilities provided by alteration to existing
second floor of structure as required by present occupants, premises
on the north side of Fifth Avenue, 50 feet east from Williams Place,
known on the Tax Assessment Map of the Town of Mamaroneck as
Block 132, Parcel 23.
Plans and a survey were submitted, and Mr. Kilthau appeared in behalf
of the application and addressed the Board. He said the Banks family
situation is such that there are two brothers, a son and possibly a
sister with their respective families to occupy the house. Another
son is coming out of the Army and will need living quarters. They
want to raise the roof of the house in question so they can get
good rooms on the second floor. There is a basement, first floor and
second floor in the house. These people will be living there whether
they obtain a variance or not and Mr. Kilthau feels their living
conditions will be greatly improved if they are granted this vari-
ance. It will not be in the nature of an apartment, it is merely
to provide for the expansion of the family.
Mr. Banks owns the property free and clear.
The alteration will cost in the neighborhood of $3,500.
There are, at present, three families living in the house and there
are multi-family houses next door, across the street and in the
rear of the subject property which is known as 616 Fifth Avenue.
This alteration will not alter the character of the neighborhood.
