COMMUNICATIONS:

The secretary read a memo, dated January 7, 1964, addressed to James
J. Johnston, Town Attorney, from Frederick F. Kellogg, Jr. , Town Engineer,
which pertained to the need to start suit against the bonding company, Royal
Globe Insurance Companies which company bonded Peysam Developers, Inc. This

said that he was working on the estimate and would formally transmit a cost
breakdown to Mr. Johnston in the near future.

from Continental Casualty Company on January 22, 1964, the bonding company
covering Mansol Developers , Inc. , Stanart Development and Solomon M. Straus-
berg and had been completed and returned to them on January 28, 1964. A

OLD BUSINESS
Carriage House Lane
Mr. Kellogg explained and presented a report on the Griffen Avenue sewer. He
stated this report was prepared on the basis of the proposed new houses plus
the existing houses on Griffen Avenue. Said report was recieved and filed for
398
the record. Mr. Kellogg also stated he had been directed by the Town Board
to contact the County of Westchester regarding a possible County participa-
tion on the general subjects of sewers and sewer districts where none now
exist. Portions of his letter and the reply from the County were read to
the Planning Board. These letters are on file in the Engineer's office.
The subject of sewers in general was discussed and the Planning Board felt
by unanimous expression, of all members present, that if at all feasible, a
trunk sewer system should be provided to serve any areas now having septic
tanks (such as Griffen Avenue) and that such a trunk sewer would be particu-
larly appropriate because the Planning Board could then require that the
proposed development by Mr. Shroder be connected to such a trunk sewer.
CROSS COUNTY LAND
Mr. Bloom discussed the booklet report entitled "A Survey and Nature Center
Plan for the Cross County Lane, Town of Mamaroneck, New York" briefly and
presented copies to the Planning Board members present. He asked that the
members review the report and known their thoughts in the future. Mr. Bloom
also stated that the Town Board and the Mamaroneck School Board presently had
this under advisement as well.
