Mr. McDonald of 22 Harrison Drive examined the map.

GREEN LAKE SUBDIVISION
Mr. Hunter Meighan, Mr. James Manoussoff, Mr. Edward
Manousoff and Mr. Thomas Miral appeared before the
Board with plans.
The Board suggested that in order to straighten out
the road at the corner it would be a good idea for
the owners to try and purchase the small triangular
piece of property at the end of the proposed drive-
way.
The possibility of obtaining a fire hydrant on Old
White Plains Road was discussed and is to be fur-
ther explored by the owner.
Final plans are to be completed and at the appli-
cant's request a public hearing will be arranged
for the May 3, 1966 meeting.
SOUNDVIEW WOODS - Section 3
Mr. Paul LaValle and Mr. Thomas J. McEvoy, Jr. sub-
mitted a new plan. Mr. Pitassy, 11 Hidden Green
Lane, Mr. and Mrs. L. W. Kohlman, 9 Hidden Green
Lane and Mr. and Mrs. Someck, 11 York Road, owners
of adjoining properties examined the new plan.
Correspondence was received from Mr. Wallace C. Rudd,
8 Hidden Green Lane, who is also an adjoining proper-
ty owner and Mrs. E. Munzer, a member of the Conser-
vation Advisory Committee and Mr. Alan N. Weeden,
Chairman.
According to the new plan the road has been moved
slightly to avoid rock in the curb area and the
river will remain the same.
The Board suggested the flood plan and proposed
bridge cross section be studied and if a nature trail
cannot pass under the bridge, steps or suitable con-
struction be provided in the shoulder areas so that
trail construction can be facilitated. Additional
park area was requested by the Board.
If final plans are received and approved in time
a public hearing will be held at the next meeting.
MURDOCK WOODS - PAUBET ENT. - HUGHES & HUGHES, BUILDERS
Mr. Monte Wolfson, 23 Kolbert Drive submitted a
petition signed by himself and 11 other neighbors
in reference to the drainage problem in this sub-
division.
They request that Mr. Hughes complete all roads and
drainage ditches appearing on the plans filed with
the Board and repair any inadequate or inferior work
already completed.
The Board decided to take this matter up with Mr.
Johnston, the Town Attorney and Mr. Kane, the Super-
visor in view of the fact the Board's powers to have
Mr. Hughes perform are limited. Mr. Hughes bond
will expire in June, 1966.
LAUREL AVENUE
Mr. Philip Severin appeared before the Board in
reference to the rights of property owners on Laurel
Avenue. After some discussion it was decided a title
search should be made on the five parcels in question
by the owner and discuss the findings with the Town
Attorney. Any development would follow normal stan-
dards of road construction.
The Board was not in favor of granting construction
right away of road less than 50' .
