APPROVAL OF MINUTES
The minutes of the meeting of February 9, 1972 were
presented and on motion duly made and seconded, ap-
proved as submitted.
Mr. Maggini presented a Notice to the Board that
he had received in reference to a Public Hearing
that had been held in the Village of Larchmont for
an application to erect a 6' fence at the Daitch
Shopwell property at 2131 Palmer Avenue. The Chair-
man reported that he had called the Village of Larch-
mont and said that he had no objection to the install-
ation of the fence.
PRELIMINARY HEARING - SUBDIVISION OF BLOCK 505 PARCEL 307
Mr. and Mrs. Edwards appeared before the Board with
their application for the subdivision on Deane Place
and Lorenzen Street. The applicants said they did
not plan to build but wanted the property subdivided
into buildable lots to be sold.
The Board pointed out that all the lots except one
contained the required 6,000 sq. ft. for an R-6 Zone
and the lot that contained under 6,000 sq. ft. the
applicants plan to give to the Town. Mr. Elfreich
pointed out that none of the lots had the required
100 ft. depth. The Board questioned as to who owned
the street and Mr. Edwards said they owned part.
Members of the Board and the Engineer decided that
if any building was intended the street would have
to be improved.
The Board, also, questioned about the water and the
applicant pointed outthat there is a 2" water main
running down Lorenzen Street. The Board advised
,,Y�
the applicants that they would have to obtain appro-
val from the Larchmont Water Company and the Water
Company would have to give approval as to whether
or not the 2" water main would give an adequate sup-
ply.
After further discussion the Board advised Mr. and
Mrs. Edwards to have their surveyor, Mr. McEvoy,
contact the Town Engineer in order that more detailed
information may be included on the drawings, i.e. ,
contours, first floor elevations of proposed struc-
tures, sewer easement and inverts of existing sewers
and proposed extension thereof. The Board thought
that possibly the applicants could get in touch with
the Engineer from the Village of Larchmont and work
out an arrangement in regard to improving the street.
COMMUNICATION FROM CONSERVATION ADVISORY COMMITTEE
Mr. Maggini had spoken to Mr. Thomas Amlicke, the
Chairman of the Conservation Advisory Committee in
reference to the preservation of historic sites and
landmarks. The Board discussed in particular the
care of the old Cemetery in the Town and the follow-
ing Resolution was passed:
RESOLVED, that the Planning Board hereby
recommends that the Town Board petition
the State Legislature to pass legislation
that would modify Section 291 of the Town
Law to allow the Town to take over the
care of ancient cemeteries or family burial
grounds.
OLD BUSINESS - SAXON GLEN DEVELOPMENT
Mr. Felix Petrillo the present owner of the develop-
ment had submitted an up-to-date subdivision map
of the development with as-built construction draw-
ings. After the Board looked over the plans the
Chairman said he would like to see the original draw-
ing he had marked to compare it with the new drawing.
It was decided that the Town Engineer would try to
obtain the drawing for Mr. Maggini to look over again.
FAIRWAY DRIVE SUBDIVISION
The Town Engineer advised members of the Board that
he had received the drawings which he had looked
over and would suggest before a Public Hearing is
held the Board request the plan show the actual piece
of land with relation to the other land in the vicinity.
Mr. Elfreich said that he had spoken to one of the
developers of the subdivision and had made some sug-
gestions as to changes in the original drawing in
reference to the location of the lots.
The Engineer made a suggestion that the Town on future
subdivisions request a "cash bond" and the Board
discussed the possibility of making such a request.
Mr. Elfreich asked the Board if they thought it
also possible in the future on new subdivisions
to require the developers to put the proposed final
grades and first floor elevations on their drawings.
ADJOURNMENT
There being no further business to come before this
meeting it was adjourned at 9:45 P.M.
