PROPOSED SUBDIVISION AT LAFAYETTE ROAD AND LESTER PLACE
Mr. Joseph Pittera of 32 Lester Place, Larchmont
appeared before the Board informally with a plan
to subdivide a parcel of land on the southside of
Lafayette Road and north side of Lester Place known
on the Tax Assessment Map as Block 130 Parcels 151
and 239.
Mr. Pittera would like to add 25± to the existing
property at 26 Lester Place which he now owns and
25± to the adjoining lot in addition to two build-
ing lots. The property is presently zoned one fam-
ily R-7.5 and one lot would face on Lester Place,
an unimproved street and the other would be off of
Lafayette Road.
The Board decided that they would have to go out
and look at the site. Mr. Pittera was asked to put
in stakes where the proposed lots will be. Of par-
ticular concern was the access to that parcel which
would front on the unimproved Lester Place.
MEETING WITH MRS. HELWIG, SUPERVISOR
Mrs. Helwig had asked Mr. Maggini to meet with mem-
bers of the Board to discuss the proposed Capital
Budget.
The first point Mrs. Helwig discussed with the Board
was in reference to a question she had been asked
by the School Board. The School Board presently
owns property in the back of Walter's stand on Pal-
mer Avenue which they may dispose of and Mrs. Hel-
wig said Dr. Norwood would contact the Planning Board
to look at the property and give their recommenda-
tions should it be declared excess by the Board of
Education. The Board pointed out that in 1967 when
Mr. Finnerty and Mr. Morrow appeared before the Board
to subdivide property on Palmer Avenue next to Walter's
C2) c,
the Planning Board asked if it was possible to make
other arrangements so that the lots could be moved
up and the school property kept in a more rectangular
parcel. The property is presently zoned R-2F.
Mr. Maggini said he would like to know more about
the situation and it was suggested a meeting be
arranged with Dr. Norwood and Mr. Chapin from the
Board of Education should the situation arise where
disposition is agreed upon by the School Board.
The Board requested Mr. Widulski to have a sketch
made of the property in question so that members
of the Board could look at the plan.
The second point Mrs. Helwig wanted to discuss was
the six year Capital Program. Mrs. Helwig pointed
out that certain advantages are inherent in the for-
mulation of a separate Capital Budget and that the
Planning Board should be active in a review and selec-
tion of proposed Capital Improvements. The estimated
cost of each project and the proposed method of financing
are an essential part of the program.
The Board agreed to meet and review Capital Improve-
ments and cooperate with the Town Board on the for-
mulation of the Capital Budget.
ADJOURNMENT
There being no further business to come before this
meeting it was adjourned at 10:00 P.M.
