APPROVAL OF MINUTES
The minutes of the meeting of October 13, 1971 were
presented and on motion duly made and seconded, ap-
proved as submitted.
Mr. Mercurio from the Westchester County Planning
Department spoke to the Board about the latest de-
velopments in the Westchester County Planning De-
partment. Mr. Mercurio submitted copies and spoke
about two new studies that had been made by the
Planning Department. The first booklet showed the
most recent figures for the County census and pointed
out that there was a change since 1965 of about
5.2% in the Town's population.
The second booklet pertained to School Taxes and
Residential Developments. The report reviewed the
various taxing methods by which public education
is financed in New York State with particular em-
phasis on Westchester County School Districts.
The study also analized the student population or
the number of children in various types of housing
units in the County. It was noted that luxury apart-
ment units produce 0.2 child per unit which is the
lowest student ratio per family.
The Board thanked Mr. Mercurio for the information
and said that when they receive their copies they
would study the reports.
APPLICATION FOR SUBDIVISION OF BLOCK 502 PART OF PARCEL 99
Mrs. Galati presented her application to the Board
J6
and stated that she had purchased the property in
question in 1954 at which time she had sufficient
C
land and frontage for two buildable lots. The ap-
plicant had obtained a variance from the Zoning Board
of Appeals at its meeting of December 1, 1971 to
build a house on the rear portion of the existing
parcel. Mrs. Galati's reason for requesting a var-
iance was because since Lundy Lane had been built
after she purchased the land it was necessary to
provide a 30' setback from both street lines where
previously only a side yard requirement was neces-
sary and according to the proposed plan the setback
from Lundy Lane was only 20 feet.
Members of the Board had been out to look at the
property in question and the Board could see no pro-
blems. All the necessary utilities are available
at the site. The Chairman requested the Secretary
to advertise for the Public Hearing at the January
meeting and advised Mrs. Galati to either be there
or have a representative present at the meeting.
