NEW BUSINESS--NOVAK PROPERTY
Mr. Tanenbaum, attorney representing Mr. Novak, submitted
plans for the proposed building Mr. Novak would erect on his
property, if his request for re-zoning was granted.
Mrs. Tanenbaum, a professional planner, stated that in her
opinion this request for re-zoning should be granted, otherwise
the Zoning Law would in effect make this property "sterile"
Mr. Novak stated that the plans for a new building would,
in his opinion,improve the property as it would serve to remove
two aluminum shacks which are eyesores.
The secretary read a letter from C. R. Bragdon, 4 Rock Ridge
Road, Larchmont, asking that the request be denied.
Following a lengthy discussion, Mr. Novak and his repre-
sentatives, were advised that the Board would consider the matter
further and make its recommendation to the Town Board.
Mr. Novak thanked the Board for their interest and consideration.
The secretary was instructed to send the following recommendation
358
to the Town Board:
The Planning Board recommends disapproval of the
application of Rudy Novak to re-zone the rear
200 feet of his property on the Boston Post
Road at Hommocks Road, from residential R-7.5
to Business B for the following reasons:
a. The property abuts Hommocks Road
which is a residential street along both
sides of its entire length other than
the first 100 feet.
b. No change in zoning from residential
to business should be considered unless
compelling reasons therefore exist which
are in harmony with the orderly development
of the Town.
COUNCILMAN COOK
Councilman Cook requested that the Board try and work
further on the proposed Sign Ordinance.
Mr. Bloom stated that he was working on it but needed
more time, Mr. Bloom said that he will continue to work on
the Ordinance and hopes to have it in shape for the next
meeting.
Mr. Cook also advised the Board that there was a
possibility of the Baldwin property coming before the Board
with a request for re-zoning.
ADJOURNMENT
There being no further business to come before this Board
the meeting was adjourned at 9: 30 p.m.
