APPLICATION NO. 1---MRS, MARK D. SOROKO Case # 39
1. The application of Mrs. Mark D. Soroko for modification
of Article III, Section 9 of the Zoning Ordinance of the Town
of Mamaroneck, as amended, so as to allow the erection of
a car-port having a set back of less than 30 feet from the
street line at premises located at 263 Murray Avenue, and
known on the Tax Assessment Map of the Town of Mamaro-
neck as Block 113, Parcel 116, on the ground of practical
difficulty and unnecessary hardship.
The Chairman asked if anyone present wished to speak either in
favor of or in opposition to this application and the following
persons were heard:
For Appellant: Robert J. Marcus, Esquire
138 Chatsworth Avenue, Larchmont
Mark D. Soroko, 263 Murray Avenue
In Opposition: Mr. & Mrs. Ed. Lau, 283 Murray Ave.
William J. Vey, 1 Bryson Street
Mr. Marcus, representing Mrs. Mark D. Soroko, appeared and
stated that this car-port had been erected for the purpose of
protecting his client's cars. The present garage is not large
enough for two cars and it is necessary, for business reasons,
that two cars be maintained by the Sorokos.
Mr. and Mrs. Lau and Mr. Vey stated that many of the driveways
in the surrounding area could be utilized in the same way but that
it would tend to depreciate the neighborhood and they felt this was
not a true hardship and so the variance should be denied.
The question of screening and proper landscaping was also dis-
cussed and Mr. Marcus and Mr. Soroko assured the Board that
all measures would be taken to have the car-port blend in with the
present shrubbery.
Following further discussion Mr. Marcus requested that action be
deferred on this matter until the next meeting of the Zoning Board
at which time he would submit a new plan, showing structural
changes and proper landscaping,for the Board's consideration.

Whereupon, on motion by Mr. Schuler, seconded by Mr. Corby,
the following resolution was unanimously adopted:
RESOLVED that action on the application of Mrs. Mark D.
Soroko be deferred until a new application accompanied by
new plans showing structural changes and proper landscaping
be submitted for the Board's consideration.
The Chairman requested the secretary to notify Mr. Marcus of
the Board's decision.
ADJOURNMENT
There being no further business to come before the meeting
it was adjourned at 9:20 p. m.
