Mr. Burchell informed them that the Board did not have jurisdic-
tion over blasting.
Mr. Burchell then asked If there was anyone present who would ob-
ject to the granting of a variance to permit a dwelling to be
erected 20 feet from Myrtle Boulevard in connection with Block
b125, Parcel 60.
There was no objection to this .
After further discussion, Mr. Hoxie was informed that he would be
notified of the Board ' s decision.

The Board then went into executive session and after discussion,
on motion by Mr. Quinn, seconded by Mr. Mink, the following resolu-
tion was adopted:
WHEREAS , Bernard Lancia has taken an appeal from the
decision of the Building Inspector denying a building permit for
the erection of a building on Block 206, Parcel 49 on the Tax
Assessment Map of the Town of Mamaroneck, in accordance with
plans and specifications submitted to the Building Inspector , and
it appears that the Building Inspector has denied the granting of
such permit for the reason that the building, according to the
plot plan submitted , is not in conformity with Article III , Sec-
tion 9 of the Zoning Ordinance which requires , in the case of
said plot or lot , a minimum fifty feet of frontage on a road
or street dedicated to public use; and
"'HEREAS , it appears that the said Bernard Lancia, hereto-
fore , and on or about April 2nd , 1948, filed a certain plot plan
or subdivision map entitled "Subdivision 12 , Part of Lot 10, Map
of Fenimore Cooper Park, Inc. , Section A , Map 13 , Torn of Mamaro-
neck, Westchester County, New York, made by A. J. Foote , Surveyor ,
Larchmont, New York, which bears the Register ' s Office No. 6550:
and
WHEREAS , examination of said plot plan indicates that
there are practical difficulties and unnecessary hardship in
the subdivision of the entire property owned by the said Bernard
Lancia as shown on said map, particularly because of the fact
that the said street or lot upon which this lot fronts , is a street
or road running approximately 200 feet east from Avon Road and ter-
` minating in a circle which makes it impossible to project lots which
in all cases have a fifty foot frontage upon said street or road;
and
WHEREAS , the Board has determined that it is impossible
for the applicant to erect a building upon the property in question
in conformity with the Ordinance , because of the fact that the lot
upon which said building would be erected has a minimum frontage of
31.72 feet and not 50 feet as required by the Ordinance , and that
a variance from the provisions of the Ordinances with regard to the
50 foot frontage is necessary in order to permit the erection of
this or any other building upon said property
-26-
NOW, THEREFORE , BE IT
RESOLVED that the said appeal from the
determination of the Building Inspector be
allowed and the determination of the
Building Inspector reversed and he be
and hereby is directed to issue to the appli-
cant , a building permit for the erection of a
dwelling upon said premises , in accordance with
the plot plan submitted , which shall have a front-
age of 31.72 feet on Lancia Lane and be in
accordance with the plans and specifications
filed in connection with said application,
provided that in all other respects , the appli-
cant abide by the provisions of said Ordinance
and Building Code of the Town of Mamaroneck.
A vote taken on the above resolution resulted as follows:
AYES : Mr. Burchell
Mr. Quinn
Mr. Cross
Mr. Waterman
Mr. Mink
NOES: None
The Board discussed further the application of Mr. Hoxie and it
was decided to put this over until the next meeting to give Mr.
Hoxie an opportunity to submit a plot plan and plans of the
contemplated dwelling.
There being no further business to come before the meeting, it
adjourned at 9:30 P. M.
