NARDY BUILDERS--EDWIN M. FREEMAN, ESQUIRE
Mr. Freeman, representing Nardy Builders, requested that the tract
of land on Weaver Street, near Palmer Ave„ be re-zoned from R-15 to
R 7 .5. He submitted a pencil sketch of a proposed subdivision.
Upon examination of the sketch several errors were found, both in
lot area and also width of the proposed street.
There followed a lengthy discussion as to layout of plots and
Mr. Cook asked Mr. Fazio why he could not try for an R-10 zoning.
Mr. Fazio repleid that R-7 .5 was the minimum for the development.
Mr. Bloom pointed out that when the new Zoning Ordinance was
being developed an expert had been engaged to view the Town and
suggest proper zoning for various areas.
It was finally suggested to Mr. Fazio and Mr. Freeman that they
study the matter further and consult with the Town Engineer as to
layout, etc. and return at a later date.
Mr. Maggini stated that it was only because Nardy Builders were
so well know as good builders that even this much consideration

was being given the matter.
Mr. Kellogg was instructed to prepare a memo for the Town Board
as to this Board's action in the matter.
The following is a copy of said memo:
March 6, 1963
To: Town Board
From: Planning Board, F . F. Kellogg, Jr. , Town Engineer
Subject: Nardy Builders--Request to Re-zone Tract on Weaver Street
near Palmer Avenue from R-15 to R-7 .5
Mr. Edwin M. Freeman, 480 Main Street, New Rochelle, Attorney for
Nardy Builders displayed a pencil sketch of a proposed sub-
division, which he admitted had several errors in it .
The errors were in the lot areas, which were less than those
consistent with the desired R-7 .5 zone and in the street
width dimension which was shown as 40 feet, rather than
the 50 foot minimum width prescribed by law.
In general, the subdivision as displayed could not be com-
pletely evaluated because of the errors.
It was suggested that a layout of plots that would sub-
stantially conform with the R-10 and R-15 zone be made,
•
and further that the R-7 .5 layout, as displayed, be
modified to conform, so that a comparison of the effects
of the three zoning designations could be made .
The applicants were advised thr they sould prepare the
drawings above referred to and that they should return
to the Planning Board to discuss the matter further.
1-URDOCK WOODS, SECTION 5--M.B, GOLDSTEIN, ESQUIRE
Mr. M. B. Goldstein, representing Murdock Woods, Section 5, appeared
and Mr. Kellogg, Town Engineer, submitted and explained two plans
for the subdivision.
Mr. Leland Hall, Superintendent for Hughes & Hughes, was also
present and a lengthy discussion as to the merits of both plans followed.
Mr. Goldstein said that he thought Mr. Hughes had discussed these
matters with the Engineer.
It was finally agreed that more study and consideration should be
given to depths of drains, etc. and the matter be again before the

MR. ALFRED POCCIA--PROPOSED CUL DE DAC END OF HIGH RIDGE ROAD
Mr. Kellogg stated that Mr. Poccia had approached him on the feas-
ibility of a cul-de-sac at the easterly end of High Ridge Road.
Following some discussion as to a "paper stree" the Engineer was
instructed to send a memo to Mr. Poccia advising him of the Board's
feeling in this matter.
The following is a copy of a memo to the Planning Board from
Mr. Kellogg:
March 6, 1963
To: Planning Board
From: F. F. Kellogg, Jr. , Town Engineer
Subject ; Proposed cul-de-sac--easterly end of High Ridge Road
Yesterday I spoke with Mr. Alfred Poccia on the phone and
advised him as follows:
1. Legal status of the bed of the "paper street" part of
4110 High Ridge Road should be investigated by Mr. Poccia,
his attorney and the Town Attorney.
2. Provided that there is no legal problem and that
Mr. Poccia follows all procedures required by current
Planning Board regulations, and further that neighbor-
hood objection is minimal, the Planning Board sees no
reason, at this time, why the street could not be
terminated in a properly designed cul-de-sac.
