WELL HOUSE LANE
Plans for the subdivision of Well House Lane as shown on a map en-
titled "Preliminary Subdivision of Well House Lane in the Town of Mama-
roneck, Westchester Co. , New York" made by Thomas John McEvoy and dated
November 25, 1963 were studied and discussed. Participating in the dis-
cussion were William Shroder of The Shroder Co. , 441 Lexington Avenue,
New York, New York (agent for Edward Basso) and Dolph Rotfeld, consult-
ing engineer.
The question of traffic circulation in the area was discussed and
Messrs. Shroder and Rotfeld were advised of the desirability of provid-
ing for a future connection from the proposed Well House Lane to
Griffen Avenue. A 30-foot wide access strip (as proposed by the owner)
was deemed insufficiently wide. After discussion it was decided by all
present that this strip should be 50-feet wide and be improved in such
a way as to permit said strip to be offered for dedication as a public
street.
Subject of drainage and sewerage and the possible extension to
Sewer District #1 was discussed in general and Messrs. Shroder and Rot-
feld are making further investigations on these subjects.
After further discussion, Mr. Maggini asked Mr. Shroder to incor-
porate the suggested revisions into his drawings and to reappear,after
said drawings were modified, at the next meeting.
ADJOURNMENT
There being no further business to come before this meeting it was
adjourned at 9:50 p.m. .
