APPLICATION--CONSTANCE FERGENSON
The Chairman explained that this meeting was called for the
purpose of making a decision upon the application of Con-
stance Fergenson as presented at the hearing on August 28,
1957, and adjourned to this date and at his request, the Sec-
1 retary presented the application as follows:
Application of Constance Fergenson for modification of Ar-
ticle III, Section 9, of the Zoning Ordinance, as amended,
so as to allow the construction of an extension to the exist-
ing attached garage on premises known as Block 405 - Par-
1 cel 231 on the Tax Assessment Map of the Town of Mamar-
161
oneck and located at 7 Meadow Place, Larchmont, which
would result in a setback from Carleon Avenue of 22 3/4
feet, on the ground that Article III, Section 9 of the Zon-
ing Ordinance of the Town of Mamaroneck requires that
no part of any building shall be built within 30 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 Building Inspector, Mr. Friedlander, presented a
revised plan of the Fergenson garage and the following
persons were heard in connection with this application:
For the applicant: Mr. Leon Fergenson
In opposition: None
Mr. Fergenson, appearing on behalf of the applicant, his
wife, stated that Mrs. Fergenson was requesting this var-
iance because the present garage was not sufficiently large
to accommodate two modern cars.
The Chairman then inquired whether anyone present wished
to be heard either for or against this application, and since
no one did, Mr. Sobel offered the following resolution, which
was seconded by Mr. Parsons and unanimously adopted by
the Board:
WHEREAS, Constance Fergenson has filed an appeal
from a decision of the Building Inspector of the Town
of Mamaroneck refusing a permit for structural ad-
dition on property located on the southerly side of
Carleon Avenue and westerly side of Meadow Place
and known on the Tax Assessment Map of the Town of
Mamaroneck as Block 405 - Parcel 231; and
WHEREAS, Constance Fergenson requests that be-
cause the present structure is inadequate for modern
type automobiles, this Board grant a variance and
over-rule the decision of the Building Inspector; and
WHEREAS, this Board has viewed the property and
has examined the plans and other matters submitted
by the applicant and has heard all persons appearing
for or against the appeal;
162
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT
RESOLVED that the appeal of Constance Fergenson
from the decision of the Building Inspector refusing
the issuance of a permit for a structural addition to
the present building, located on the southerly side
of Carleon Avenue and westerly side of Meadow
Place and known on the Tax Assessment Map of the
Town of Mamaroneck as Block 405 - Parcel 231,
having a set back of 25 feet rather than the required
30 foot set back as specified in Article III, Section
9 of the Zoning Ordinance of the Town of Mamaro-
neck which requires that no part of any building
shall be built within 30 feet of any street line, ex-
cept that on corner lots such buildings may be set
back a less distance from the side street with the ap-
proval of the Board of Appeals, be granted.
FURTHER RESOLVED that this decision be filed with
the Town Clerk as provided by Section 267 of the Town
Law.
WELCOME TO CHAIRMAN
The members of the Board extended a cordial welcome to
the Chairman, Mr. Wullschleger, who had recently re-
turned from his trip abroad.
DATE OF NEXT MEETING
Mr. Schuler called to the Board's attention the fact that
September 25th, the date for the next regular meeting of
the Board, fell on the eve of the Jewish New Year and
suggested that this meeting be held on the next Wednes-
day evening, October 2nd, instead of on the regular date.
The Board so fixed the date and the Secretary was dir-
ected to clear the matter on the calendar at Police Head-
quarters and to send out notices in accordance therewith.
