BONNIE BRIAR COUNTRY CLUB
Mr. Edward Roberts, Manager of the Bonnie Briar Country
Club appeared to present to the Board the revised
plan of the as-built drawing of the tennis courts.
The following changes were noted:
1. The courts were moved slightly in a southerly
direction which eliminated the need for a retaining
wall and insured the preservation of the existing
tree line.
2. Finished elevation was 12" higher than the pre-
vious plan due to rock in certain areas of the courts.
Mr. Roberts withdrew the request of the Club to flood
the courts for ice skating. He indicated that the
Club was negotiating with Mr. Shuffman, the owner
of 1 Cornell Street for the sale of the present pool
and cabana on the northerly portion of the property
above the tennis courts. A fire in Mr. Shuffman's
chemical plant had limited Mr. Shuffman's cash avail-
able for the purchase of the land. The owner of
the adjoining property on Weaver Street, Mr. Rich-
ard Segalini had been notified of the meeting of
the Planning Board but did not appear.
APPLICATION OF DAITCH SHOPWELL TO IMPROVE A PORTION OF
HARRISON DRIVE
The Town Board had referred to the Planning Board
a copy of the site plan of the proposed Daitch Shop-
well store which although located in the Village
of Larchmont will have an access drive over the bed
of the unimproved section of Harrison Drive.
The Planning Board recommended that the improvement
to Harrison Drive conform to the Town standard, that
is, 26'0" wide, face of curb to face of curb and
concrete curbs on both sides of the roadway and that
the recommendation be forwarded to the Town Board.
PROPOSED BILL ON REVISIONS TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING
PROVISIONS OF THE STATE LAW
A discussion of the proposed bill on revisions to
the Planning and Zoning Provisions of the State Law
highlights which were contained in a November 1970
bulletin of the Westchester Municipal Planning Fed-
eration was discussed. The role of the Urban Deve-
lopment Corporation with powers to override local
ordinances was also discussed. The Board generally
agreed that with almost all of the land developed
these new provisions would be effective only in re-
gard to further development on one of the two Country
Clubs.
ADJOURNMENT
There being no further business to come before this
meeting it was adjourned at 9:45 P.M.
