PUBLIC HEARING - SAXON GLEN SUBDIVISION The following persons appeared before the Board: Mr, Wilbur Fried, applicant 4525 Greystone Avenue, Bronx, New York Judge Reuben Sirlin, Attorney for applicant 211 Mamaroneck Avenue, Mamaroneck, N.Y. Mr. Thomas J. McEvoy, Jr., Surveyor for applicant 2005 Palmer Avenue, Larchmont, N. Y. Mr. Dolph P. E. Rotfeld, Applicant's engineer 512 Mamaroneck Avenue, White Plains, N. Y. As suggested at the previous meeting, Mr. Widulski, met with Mr. Fried, Mr. Rotfeld and Mr. McEvoy to discuss drainage and the sewer utilities for the proposed subdivision. Mr. Widulski stated he and the engineer for the developer had agreed to certain features on the sewerage and drainage and that both agreed solutions were to then obtain County approval from the appropriate Departments. At the time of this meeting no formal approvals had been obtained although Mr. Rotfeld had claimed preliminary dis- cussions were held. Written approvals were to be forwarded to the Town Engineer. r The grade of the road was revised in accordance with the Town Engineer's recommendations and the Board was in agreement with the new roadway gradient. The Board discussed the tie into the future sewer and it was decided that for the present it would be tied into a force main serving a portion of the Car- riage House Lane Subdivision and when the Prince Wil- low sewer is constructed it will be tied into that sewer line. The County will have to approve any sewer line proposal. A discussion of land to be dedicated for Town use followed and Judge Sirlin suggested that instead of the applicant deeding a parcel of land to the Town for recreation purposes a monetary consideration be given to the Town, but no amount was proposed. Mr. Fried suggested that he would be willing to dedi- cate two (2) 50' wide reserve strips for future roads but that the proposed Town reserve of approximately 40,000 sq. ft, would eliminate one or two of the more choice lots in the proposed subdivision. Judge Sirlin pointed out that that it would be economically unfeas- ible to take two building lots that would mean the loss of about $40,000. to the builder. As regards the proposal to reserve land for future streets the Board stated it is their responsibility to provide for the regional development of the area and they cannot overlook any future development of the adjoining property. After further discussion the Board decided that their decision would have to be reserved until they obtained the views of the Town Board and the Recreation and Conservation Commissions regarding the lot for rec- reation purposes and until Mr. Fried had received the requisite County approvals. SUBDIVISION - CORNER OF DEAN PLACE AND LORENZEN STREET The following persons appeared before the Board: Mr. William C. Woolsey, who represented Mr. Joseph A. Minnitti, One Depot Plaza, Mamaroneck, New York, Attorney for appli- cant Mr, Salvatore E. Grasso, 65 Lincoln Street, New Rochelle Mr. Anthony P. Grasso, 11 Fir Place, New Rochelle Mr. Thomas J. McEvoy, Jr., surveyor for applicant 2005 Palmer Avenue, Larchmont Mr. Woolsey presented the application and plan to the Board. The applicants propose to subdivide the property into three building lots. Two of the lots will contain 6,000 square feet each and one will con- tain 4,800 square feet. Two of the lots will have frontages of 50 feet each and one will have a front- ��y J r age of 52.34 feet instead of the required 60 feet frontage for an R-6 Zoning District. There is pre- sently an old house on the property which is to be demolished. The applicants propose to purchase the property con- tiguous to the proposed subdivision which is approx- imately '39,000 square feet and in conjunction with the granting of this application and if the Town so requests convey said parcel to the Town to be used as a Public Park. Mr. Woolsey stated if the applicants were not per- mitted to use the proposed plan they would have to place one of the houses further back on the property and would not be able to convey to the Town as large a parcel as in their original plan. The Board decided that they would have to check with the Town Attorney, Mr. Johnston as to whether or not it would be necessary for the applicant to go before the Zoning Board for a variance and with the Recreation Commission in reference to the park plan. The Board assured the applicants that they would do everything they possibly could do to expedite matters so a public hearing could be arranged. MURDOCK WOODS A letter from Mr. Hal Feit of 6 Adrian Circle which had been held over from the last meeting was discussed. Mr. Hughes, the builder had dug a swale and ditch around the edge of Mr. Feit's property to remedy the drainage problem. The Board decided that there was nothing they could do and that the Town had been cooperative. The matter will be discussed with Mr. Johnston and he will be requested to answer the letter. ADJOURNMENT There being no further business to come before this meeting it was adjourned at 9:30 p.m. 41176" Rita A. Joh s n, Secretary JCS
