APPROVAL OF MINUTES
The minutes of the meeting of March 8, 1967, on motion
duly made and seconded, were approved as submitted.
OLD BUSINESS
Mr. Widulski stated that the Town Board had at its
Pre-Board Meeting on Monday night, April 17, 1967,
discussed Laurel Avenue. Members of the Town Board
seemed to be of the opinion that it was desirable
to have a 50' street and that perhaps something could
be worked out with the developer.
BRIAR HILL - SECTION 2
Mr. Adam Sumetz and Mr. Thomas McEvoy, Jr. appeared
before the Board with an application and plan for a
preliminary hearing on the subdivision of Briar Hill
Section 2.
The plan shows a total of 8 building lots and each
lot contains 15,000 square feet or more. Members
of the Board were concerned about the grade of the
proposed new road which is approximately 12 or 13
percent and decided they would have to go out and
look at the site.
The Board, also, thought it would be necessary to
check with the Highway Department because of the
difficulty that would be encountered by the garbage
trucks, snow plow and other Town vehicles because
of the steep grade, and the presence of approximately
5 curb cuts on the cul-de-sac.
The Board requested Mr. Sumetz to put down stakes
to give them an approximate idea as to where the
road alignment and lots will be located. Members

r .11
of the Board will go out and inspect the site at
a date before the next regular meeting.
At the next regular meeting on May 10, 1967 the Plan-
ning Board will hold a Public Hearing on the proposed
subdivision.
LARCHMONT FARMS NO. 2
The following persons appeared:
Mr. Anthony Sansone
Mr. Hubert Finnerty
Mr. Frank Finnerty, 40 Second Ave., Pelham,
N. Y., co-owner with Mr. Keenan Morrow,
Dogwood Lane, Rye, New York
Mr. Hubert Finnerty, who represented his brother
and Mr. Morrow, presented the Board with an appli-
cation and plan for the subdivision of a piece of
property on Palmer Avenue. One piece of the proper-
ty owned by Mr. Morrow and Mr. Finnerty is being
sold to Walter's Restaurant and another piece is
being turned over to the Board of Education. It
was pointed out that Mr. Finnerty and Mr. Morrow
for over two years have been trying to sell the
entire piece of property to the Board of Education
but they were not interested.
Because of the location the houses will have to be
built on an angle. Each lot is in excess of 5200
square feet and located in an R2F zoned district.
The proposed parcel is a result of the transfer of
properties with the Board of Education. The four
lots are bordered to the west and north by lands
of the Board of Education, and with the proposed
use of the land as a parking lot, the Planning
Board believes the proposed residential parcels
will be adversely affected.
The Public Hearing will be arranged for the regu-
lar meeting of the Planning Board on May 10, 1967.
ADJOURNMENT
There being no further business to come before this
meeting it was adjourned at 9:25 p.m.
