The minutes of the meeting held December 28th, 1949 were approved with a correction which consisted of the recording of the Board' s vote in connection with the application of Mr. Carmine Perciaseppe. The vote recorded was as follows: AYES: Mr. Burchell, Mr. Waterman, Mr. Wullschleger; NOES: Mr. Mink. The Clerk was instructed to make this correction. • The first application before this meeting was that of Rev. John J. Flynn for modification of Article III, Section 9 of the Zoning Ordinance to permit the extension of a building for use as a chapel in connection with property on the east side of Weaver Street, approximately opposite the Weaver Street Fire House, known on the Tax Assessment Map of the Town of Mama.rmeck as Block 217, Parcel 1. Father Flynn appeared before the Board in behalf of the applica- tion and submitted blue prints of the proposed extension. The following people appeared but did not register opposition: Mrs. H. W. Kapp, 6 Heather Lane, Town Mr. . James Brennan, 6 Heather Lane, Town Mr. and Mrs. Alex Dawson, 4 Marder. Road, Town Mr. R. A. Robinson , 12 Cooper Lane, Town Mr. Frank Beede, 2 Heather Lane, Town Mr. Robert Sackheim, 10 Marden Road, Town Mr. James Bryce, 21 Cooper Lane, Town Several of these people spoke of the traffic problem which they fear will result from the building of the Church, but they were informed that this question was not before the Board of Appeals. Mr. Robinson said he wished to make a provisional objection on the basis of the possibility of an entrance on Cooper Lane. He said the situation would be serious if that happened as Cooper Lane is a very narrow, steep, winding street. The Chairman informed those present that the application would be considered and Father Flynn would be notified of the decision. The Board then proceeded to hear the proof in connection iith the application of Carl Guglielmo, which application had been adjourned from December 28th, 1949, for this purpose. The minutes of this hearing were recorded by Miss Marian Meikle, 76 Echo Avenue, New Rochelle. At the conclusion of this hearing, the Board went into executive session and after discussion, the following resolutions were duly moved and seconded: (1) WHEREAS, an application was made by Rev. John J. Flynn, Pastor of the Church of Sts. John and Paul, for modifica- tion of Article III, Section 9 of the Zoning Ordinance, to permit the extension of a building, now upon certain premises known and described as Block 217, Parcel 1 on the Tax Assessment Map of the Town of Mamaroneck, for use as a chapel; and WHEREAS, such application was received by the Clerk of this Board on January 4th, 1950, making it impossible therefore, to publish the notice once a week for two weeks immediately pre- ceding the adjourned hearing of this Board set for January 12th, as required by Rule 9 of this Board; and WHEREAS, the Town Law of the State of New York, Section 267, requires that notice of hearing before a zoning board of appeals be published not less than 5 days prior to the date of the hearing, NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the strict application of Rule 9 is hereby waived and this Board hereby enter- tains the application of Rev.
