APPLICATION OF COUNTY AUTOMOTIVE
Mr. Lester W. Rubin, an Attorney of 6 Walden Lane,
Rye, New York, represented Mr. Morris L. Wade, who
is the owner of County Automotive Co. , Inc. This
application had been referred to the Planning Board
by the Town Board for their recommendations. The
applicants had obtained a variance from the Zoning
Board to put an addition on their present building.
The addition at the rear of the present building
will create a building coverage of 29.15% instead
of the required maximum building coverage of 25%.
It was necessary for County Automotive to apply to
the Town for a Special Permit.
Mr. Rubin pointed out to members of the Board that
the Volkswagon Distributor requires that six more
bays for diagnosing and repairing cars be added to
the present building plus additional area to be used
for parts storage. There will, also, be additional
space for a rest and recreation area for the employees.
The Chairman asked if the finish for the addition
would match the present building and Mr. Wade replied
that it would. A question was also raised as to
whether there would be any obnoxious fumes problem
but Mr. Wade pointed out that there had never been
any problems with fumes and they did not anticipate
any.
After further discussion the Chairman asked the Sec-
retary to write a memo to the Town Board stating
that the Planning Board approved the application
of County Automotive Co. , Inc.
SUBDIVISION ON ROCKLAND AVENUE - MR. SEVERIN
Mr. Severin appeared before the Board with a sketch
for a subdivision of a lot on Rockland Avenue. There
is presently a house on the lot and Mr. Severin's
client is interested in dividing the remaining pro-
pertly into two building lots. Each lot would con-
tain over 20,000 square feet which is more than suf-
ficient property for an R-15 Residential District.
One of the lots shown on the sketch is adjacent to
High Ridge Road which is presently a paper street
and does not go through. The Board did not think
it would be necessary for High Ridge Road to be brought
through and Mr. Widulski pointed out that it had
been proposed in the Master Plan that Rockland Avenue
be straightened out.
After further discussion the Board decided that there
would be no question as to the layout of the lots
but Mr. Severin would have to inquire about the utili-
ties, including sewer, water, etc. and obtain the
approval of the Board of Health in Westchester County.
The Board suggested that when Mr. Severin obtain
all this information he have a plan drawn up and
return to the Board.
ADJOURNMENT
There being no further business to come before this
meeting it was adjourned at 8:45 P.M.
