APPROVAL OF MINUTES The minutes of the meeting of May 12, 1972 were pre- sented and on motion duly made and seconded, approved as corrected. PUBLIC HEARING - "THE FAIRWAYS SUBDIVISION" Mr. Blair asked the Secretary to read the Public Notice. PLEASE TAKE NOTICE that the Town of Mama- roneck Planning Board pursuant to Section 276 and 277 of the Town Law will hold a Public Hearing on June 14, 1972 in the Council Room of the Weaver Street Firehouse, Weaver Street and Edgewood Avenue, Larch- mont, New York at 8:15 P.M. on the appli- cation of a Subdivision known as "The Fair- ways" located at the end of Fairway Drive and known on the Tax Assessment Map of the Town of Mamaroneck as Block 333 Par- cels 836, 837 and part of Parcel 880. TAKE FURTHER NOTICE that all persons pre- sent will be given an opportunity to be heard. Mr. Cannella, as one of the owners, presented the application to the Board and stated that Section 1 of the subdivision is owned by Mr. Cannella, Mr. Quadrini and Mr. Sicuranza and Section 2 is owned by Mrs. Cannella. Mr. Cannella explained that they wanted approval of both Section 1 and 2 but did not intend to improve both sections at the same time. ry'..h r Members of the Board had visited the site and decided that they wanted Barn Wall Lane completed out to Stonewall Lane. Mr. Cannella said that he thought the road should be completed but he did not think it was his responsibility to finish the road out past his property line. The Board pointed out to Mr. Cannella that the Town had put in the sewer at a great expense which was to his advantage in developing his property and by finishing the road it would only be a matter of approximately 150 ad- ditional feet of grading and curbing. The Board stated that before Mr. Cannella develops Section 2 and requires a building permit it would be necessary for him to demolish the present build- ings on the property. Mr. Elfreich pointed out that the deed of records does not list the road as Stonewall Lane and that the deed of dedication does not show the portion of the road in question. The Board, also, pointed out that Stonewall Lane came into existence before the Planning Board was formed. Mr. Couch brought up the question of the drainage on the lots at present and it was pointed out that there had never been any water until the sanitary sewer had been constructed. The following persons all appeared to examine the application: Mr. Isidore Feil 5 Stonewall Lane Mr. Frank Becker 11 Stonewall Lane Mr. Charles Levitt 7 Stonewall Lane (President of Stonewall Association) Mr. S. B. Frank 3 Fairway Drive Mr. Myron L. Weinstein 12 Doris Road Mr. and Mrs. Emanuel S. Warshauer 30 Doris Lane Mrs. H. Stoller 9 Stonewall Lane Mr. Philip Quadrini and Mr. Carmine Sicuranza, part owners of the property in question also appeared. The neighbors all discussed the problem of the drain- age and Mr. Elfreich stated that Mr. Cannella had given the Town Highway Department permission to do some trench excavation to relieve the condition. Mr. Cannella stated that he proposed to put in the proper drainage. Mrs. Stoller stated that she did not like the name of the proposed street "Barn Wall Lane". A question was also raised as to whether the pre- sent water system would be sufficient for 17 addi- tional homes and Mr. Elfreich said that the water would be coming from two directions and would be adequate. AA]1 The Board decided that they would request the appli- cants to finish the road or post a performance bond before any building permits could be issued. The Board, also, decided that because of the proximity of Saxon Woods Park, a County recreation facility, instead of land being dedicated to the Town for rec- reation purposes, as provided for by Town Law, the applicants would be required to donate a sum of money to be determined by the Town Board as provided for by law. After further discussion the Board decided to approve the subdivision and the following Resolution was duly adopted: WHEREAS, Mr. William F. Cannella has filed an application for the approval of a sub- division known as "The Fairways" Sections 1 and 2 located at the end of Fairway Drive and known on the Tax Assessment Map as Block 333 Parcels 836, 837 and part of Parcel 880; and WHEREAS, pursuantto Section 276 and 277 of the Town Law a Public Hearing was held on June 14, 1972 after notice was published in the official newspaper of the Town of Mamaroneck, the Daily Times; and WHEREAS, this Board has examined the plans and determined that the same are all satis- factory; NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the application of Mr. Wil- liam F.

APPLICATION FOR SUBDIVISION - BLOCK 504 PARCEL 471 - DILLON ROAD Mr. Doherty appeared before the Board with a plan for a subdivision of two lots which he had previously presented to the Board at a preliminary hearing held on June 9, 1971. The applicant stated that he intended to give the Town ten feet so that the Town could provide a road to the recreation area. The Board pointed out that the Town requirement is for a 26' paved road. Mr. Doherty said he only intended to build on one lot for his own use and probably would use Dillon Road for access. The Board suggested to the applicant that before the Public Hearing is held and final plans drawn it would be advisable for Mr. Doherty to consult with Mr. Elfreich, the Town Engineer. OLD BUSINESS - SAXON GLEN DEVELOPMENT The subdivision with the names of the streets changed IL 1 i 2' was submitted to the Planning Board for approval. The amended map with the name changes is approved subject to the approval of the Westchester County Health Department.
