OLD BUSINESS The Board discussed the recommendation of Raymond and May's to eliminate the curves on Old White Plains Road in the vicinity of Saxon Woods Park.

Mr. Chalif mentioned that a question had been raised at the Town Board meeting about the Bonnie Briar's agreement to remove the existing refreshment build- ing as set forth in the Planning Board's recommenda- tions to the Town Board for the approval of the Bonnie Briar Country Club's application for the construction of additions to the existing swimming pool and re- lated facilities. Members of the Planning Board all agreed that the applicants had consented to re- move the refreshment building and refreshments in the pool area were to be served only in the enclosed area under the pool deck as shown by the plans. The Board was definite in their desire to eliminate or reduce outdoor dining by having food service in- doors which would reduce noise directed to adjoining properties.
