PROPOSED PREMIUM RIVER PARK Mrs. Helwig appeared before the Board on behalf of the Recreation and Conservation Departments to ob- tain recommendations from the Planning Board in re- ference to the proposed Premium River Park. The park is to be a joint project of the Town and the Village of Larchmont. The original plan called for extensive recreational facilities and would have cost about $252,000.00 for all development including the acquisition of land. Mrs. Helwig had a more recent plan which did not call for as extensive recreational facilities and would cost about $80,000.00 including the acquisi- tion of the land. This new plan would have trails and be similar to the Sheldrake area. There is a building presently on the property that was a pump house that could be used for storage. There is room for angle parking and adequate backup space. After further discussion it was decided that the members of the Planning Board would have to go out and look at the property before they could make any recommendations or suggestions to the Town Board. The members were to meet Saturday morning, March 16, 1968 at the site. MASTER PLAN Mr. Peter Eschweiler from the Westchester County Department of Planning inquired as to whether the Planning Board had adopted the Master Plan prepared by Raymond and May Associates. The Board had not adopted but "accepted" as an"advisory document" the Master Plan, and after further discussion the Secretary was asked to check back in the minutes to determine the wording of the Planning Board Reso- lution. OLD BUSINESS Mr. Maggini asked Mr. Bloom if he had contacted Mr. Johnston, the Town Attorney, in regard to the proposed amendment to the Planning Board regulations regarding areas to be set aside for recreation pur- poses. It was pointed out that Raymond and May Associates in the Master Plan had recommended an amendment to the present regulations. After further discussion the Board decided that Mr. Bloom and Mr. Johnston would probably get to- gether at the Joint Meeting with the Town Board on Monday, March 18, 1968. Mr. Maggini asked Mr. Widulski, the Town Engineer how they were progressing with Lot #10 in the Bald- win Hills Subdivision. Mr. Widulski advised that he had written a letter to Mr. Kretchmer to clean up the lot. ADJOURNMENT There being no further business to come before this meeting it was adjourned at 10:00 p.m. 67:436 kita A. Johnson, Secretary fit /
