MAGGINE, CHAIRMAN Prince Willow Sewer Mr. Kellogg reported that he had been in touch with Mr. Dick Shultz of the Westchester County Department of Public Works and Mr. Shultz advised that a sum of $90,000.00 is definitely included in the Westchester County Sewer Dept. Budget for 1965 and that said $90,000.00 was earmarked for the con- struction of a sewer from the county trunk line in Mamaroneck Avenue to the bed of the road on ' agon Wheel Road. Mr. Kellogg stated that the Prince Willows and Stonewall Lane Associations had been notified by letters in January 1965 of the need to provide the Town and the County with easements in private lands so as to allow the sewer to be constructed. To date, Mr. Harry Ekezian, President of the Price Willow Association visited the En- gineer's Office and obtained a list and sketch showing where the necessary easements are located and from whom they should be obtained. Mr. Kellogg also gave Mr. Ekezian a copy of our customary form of easement agreement. The Planning Board agreed that the next step was up to the residents of the areas to be benefited. Communications A letter dated January 19, 1965 from the Larchmont Chamber of Commerce was read by the Chairman in reference to preventing fly-by--night temporary tenants in stores from unfairly competing with local extablished business- men. In a letter dated February 8, 1965, the Planning Board was requested by the Town Board to study this situation and report any recommendations to them. The Secretary was instructed to present all members of the Planning Board with copies of these letters and copies of the statute which were en- closed with the communication from the Chamber of Commerce. It was decided that no action would be taken at this meeting, but that the subject required further study. Reports Mr. Kellogg reported that he attended the Association of Towns Meeting on February 9, 1965 and that during one of the sessions with the Town En- gineers a discussion period revealed that several upstate towns have adopted an "Excavation Ordinance" which is intended to prevent builders, developers or others from digging holes and leaving scarified areas behind them. The Planning Board felt that such an ordinance might be worthy of sturdy and re- quested Mr. Kellogg to try and secure a copy of such an Excavation Ordinance. 430 Baldwin Property Mr. Thomas Lentini, Attorney of 92 Dell Avenue, Mount Vernon, N.Y. for Jason McKenna, Inc. appeared and presented to the Board a revised preliminary layout showing 34 lots in a proposed subidivision of the Baldwin property on Rockland Avenue, known as Block #206, Parcel #38 and Block #207, Parcel #56 on the Tax Assessment Maps. The property comprises approximately 9 acres. Mr. Lentini explained that his corporation was considering the develop- ment of the Subdivision in two sections so as not to deplete his working capi- tal by requiring it to be tied up as collateral for a performance bond. The Planning Board observed that the section of the subdivision which Mr. Lentini might consider to be the first section is on the lower side of the property, elevation wise and that the most difficult part of the utility work would be in section one. It was further noted that the value of the remaining section two would be enhanced by reason of the increased closeness of available utili- ties. The guarantee of the construction of these increasing closer utilities would be covered by the performance bond for section one. It was further de- cided that only one set of construction drawings would be required, whereon the limits of Section one and Section two would be correctly delineated on both plan and profile. It was noted, however, that two separate linen trac- ings of the subdivision plat (on which the lot dimensions and areas shall appear) would be necessary for purposes of separate filings in the office of the County Clerk of Westchester County. Following a lengthy discussion, involving numerous technical details which were noted on the engineer's copy of the preliminary plan, Mr. Lentini was advised that he could proceed with the preparation of the final ink draw- ings and that upon completion of same he should then submit them to the Plan- ning Board for further action. Adjournment There being no further business to come before this meeting, it was adjourned at 10:15 p.m. E. � Le Esta E. Davis, Secretary 431
