PUBLIC HEARING The Chairman declared the hearing open and the Sec- retary presented for the record the affidavit of publication of the notice of hearing. The Chairman requested the Secretary to read the Public Notice. APPLICATION - WILD OAK ESTATES SUBDIVISION Mr. Lawrence Kramer, Mr. Frank Geller and Mr. Vin- cent DiPace appeared before the Board and presented the final drawings. The Board looked over the plans and decided the drawings were all in order. The Board noted that Mr. Emanuelson's recommendations had been incorporated in the new plan. Mr. Kramer stated that they intended to put in a new sewer line according to the plan but that the lot at the extreme end of the subdivision may be advantageously served by a gravity line connection to the sewer line in the Nature Trail area rather than pump up hill to the new sewer line. Because the existing sewer line is on Town property it would be necessary for the applicants to obtain permission from the Town Board and they were so informed. The Board pointed out that it would be necessary to have street lighting and expressed the hope that Consolidated Edison would place all the utilities underground. rf It was suggested that Mr. Widulski check with the Fire Chief as to whether it is necessary to put in another fire hydrant. The Town Engineer will deter- mine the amount of the Performance Bond and notify Mr. Kramer. Mrs. Litchfield, Chairman of the Village of Mamaro- neck Planning Board appeared at the meeting and looked at the plans. Mrs. Litchfield stated that the Village had no objection to the application. The applicants were instructed to prepare the deeds and present same to Mr. Johnston, the Town Attorney.

OLD BUSINESS There being no other matters on the agenda the Board welcomed Mrs. Litchfield to its meeting and inquired as to the status of the proposed "cluster" develop- ment off Fenimore Road and adjacent to Country Road in the Town of Mamaroneck. Mrs. Litchfield stated that she had received a call from Mr. Guy Protano, Jr. , one of the principal sponsors of the development who informed her that with the application of the Village Law Statue limiting the number of units to that which would be accommodated by the standard subdivision layout procedure, the proposed eighteen units would then be reduced to some ten or eleven making the cluster development uneconomical. There- fore, Mrs. Litchfield stated the developers are con- sidering appeal for office building use or some other similar use with the cluster development idea dropped. Mr. Potenza of the Westchester County Planning Office presented members of the Board with copies of "West- chester County Soil and Water Conservation District", a pamphlet prepared by the District's Board of Dir- ectors and the Westchester County Planning Office. The proposed objectives of the Soil Conservation District Board is to gather information on soil, watershed and flood control and assist public agencies, groups and individuals in planning as pertains to the aforementioned categories.
