APPLICATION NO. 1 C. W. W. Cook Case # 27
Application of C. W. W. Cook for modification of Article III,
Section 9, of the Zoning Ordinance, as amended, so as to
permit the erection of a one family dwelling on Larch Road
and Ormand Place, and known as Block 203, Parcel 280 on
the Tax Assessment Map of the Town of Mamaroneck, having
a set back of less than 40 feet from Ormand Place, on the
ground that Article III, Section 9 of the Zoning Ordinance
of the Town of Mamaroneck, as amended, requires that no
part of any building shall be built within 40 feet of any street
line except that on corner lots such building may be set back
a less distance from the side street with the approval of the
Board of Appeals.
The Chairman asked if anyone present wished to speak either
in favor of or opposed to this application, and the following
persons were heard:
For Appellant: C. W. W. Cook, 15 Campbell
Lane, Larchmont, NY
In Opposition: None
Mr. Cook appeared and stated that he felt these plans he was
now submitting were an improvement on the plans he had sub-
mitted with his application in May, 1958.
Mr. Friedlander stated that these plans would mean that the
house would be located on the plot in a manner more suitable to
the neighboring houses.
Upon determing that no one else wished to be heard wither in
favor of or opposed to this application, on motion by Mr. Bierman,
seconded by Mr. Wullschleger, the following resolution was
unanimously adopted:
WHEREAS, C. W. W. Cook has filed an appeal from a
decision of the Building Inspector of the Town of
Mamaroneck, refusing a permit for the erection of a
one family dwelling having a set back of less than 40
feet from Ormand Place on a lot located on Larch Road
and Ormand Place, and known as Block 203, Parcel 280
on the Tax Assessment Map of the Town of Mamaroneck;and
2
WHEREAS, C. W. W. Cook States that to build the house
with the required set back would work undue hardship
to the appellant and would result in the house being out
of line with neighboring properties; and
WHEREAS, this Board has viewed the property and has
examined the plans and other matter submitted by the
applicant and has heard all persons appearing for or
against the appeal:
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT
RESOLVED that the appeal of C. W. W. Cook from the
decision of the Building Inspector refusing the issuance
of a permit for the erection of a one family dwelling
having a set back of less than 40 feet from Ormand
Place on a lot located on Larch Road and Ormand Place
and known as Block 203, Parcel 280 on the Tax Assess-
ment Map of the Town of Mamaroneck, be granted on
the ground of practical difficulty and unnecessary
hardship as recited in the application and which this
Board finds exists; and it is
FURTHER RESOLVED that Article III, Section 9 of
the Zoning Ordinance of the Town of Mamaroneck, as
amended, relating to set backs on corner lots on a lot
located at Larch Road and Ormand Place, and known
as Block 203, Parcel 280 on the Tax Assessment Map
pf the Town of Mamaroneck, be varied and modified
so as to allow the erection of a one family dwelling
with a set back of less than 40 feet from Ormand Place
as specified in Article III, Section 9, which requires
that no part of any building shall be built within 40 feet
of any street line, except that on corner lots such
buildings may be set back a less distance from the side
stree with the approval of the Board of Appeals, pro-
vided that the building is erected in strict accordance
with the plans filed with this application and that the
applicant complies in all dtiher respects with the
Zoning Ordinance and Building Code of the Town of
Mamaroneck; and it is
FURTHER RESOLVED that this decision be filed with
The Town Clerk as provided by Section 267 of the
