PRELIMINARY HEARING - SUBDIVISION OF LOT - BLOCK 346 PARCEL 244 Mr. Edward Spellman the applicant of 1036 Old White -- Plains Road, was represented by Mr. Joseph Glatthaar, an Attorney of 175 Main Street, White Plains, New York. Mr. Glatthaar pointed out that the lot in question has 18,000 sq. ft. instead of the required 20,000 sq. ft. and that Mr. Spellman had been granted a variance but because the prospective builder had not been able to go ahead with the construction the variance had expired. Mr. Ernest Santoro of-1616 James Street, Mamaroneck, who is the builder, showed the Board the plans for the anticipated house and stated that the water is already there. It was pointed out that the plan meets all the requirements of the County Health Department for the septic field and that the applicant is aware of the drainage problem but that Mr. Santoro intends to fill in the lot - IL 7J7 will alleviate the problem. After further discussion the Chairman instructed the Secretary to prepare the notice for the Public Hearing to be held at the next meeting. OLD BUSINESS - OLD WHITE PLAINS ROAD - BLOCK 325 PARCEL 81 Mr. Ronald Picket stated that in addition to the house already on the lot they wanted to provide for three more building lots and if the Board allowed the subdivision the developer would be willing to resurface the present road and that the Town as owner of 75% of the road would continue its maintenance. Mr. Picket said that under the Town Law Section 280(a) Deerfield Lane qualifies as a Town road. Mr. Hunter Meighan, an Attorney of 100 Mamaroneck Avenue, represented Rr.Mandell who resides at 3 Deer- field Lane and stated that his client does not feel he wants to give up the 25 ft. that the developer is asking for to make up the 50 ft. road that the Town requires to meet their standards. Mr. Meighan said that he does not believe Mr. Hamilton of 2-Deer- field Lane is interested in giving up the 25 ft. either. Mr. George Greenberg of 1009 Old White Plains Road stated that the developer's surveyor has trespassed on his property by digging holes. Both Mr. Green- bert and Mr. John Gilgut of 1007 Old White Plains Road expressed concern over the septic tanks which would be installed. Mr. Elfreich, the Town Engineer assured the neighbors that the Westchester County Health Department would not approve the septic-fields if they did not meet the County specifications. Mrs. John Johnson of 1011 Old White Plains Road ex- pressed concern about the holes that were being dug sad stated that they were "deep". Mrs. Johnson said that the holes were marked by a pile of rocks and a red flag which drew the attention of the children in the neighborhood. Mrs. Johnson and Mr. Barker of Deerfield Lane both expressed concern about- the type of buildings Mr. Spencer expected to develop. Mr. Maggini assured them that the--buildings would have to meet Town standards. Mrs. Mandell said she was worried about the drainage that-would affect both her property and the Hamiltons. Mr. Elfreich said that it would be necessary for the developer to take care of the extra drainage and because of the drainage ditch on the north side of the road and the elevation of the crown of the road to pre- vent the water from coming across the road the drain- age will be improved. After further discussion the Board advised the ap- plicants to write a letter to the Board and when they received a decision from Mr. Johnston, the Town Attorney in writing they would make their conclusion. ADJOURNMENT There being no further business to come before this meeting it was adjourned at 9:15 P.M. Rita A. Johns n, Secretary
