CALL TO ORDER The Chairman called the meeting to order at 8:25 p.m. ROLL CALL Present: Mr. Fred L. Maggini, Chairman Mr. G. Norman Blair Mr. Winfield James Absent: Mr. Joseph Rigano Mr. Lee Bloom Also present: Mr. William P. Widulski, Town Engineer Mr. Joseph R. Potenza, Planner from the Westchester County Department of Planning APPROVAL OF MINUTES The minutes of the meeting of April 10, 1968 were presented and on motion duly made and seconded, ap- proved as corrected. WILD OAK ESTATES SUBDIVISION Mr. Lawrence Kramer, Mr. Frank Geller and Mr. Vincent DiPace appeared before the Board and presented the Board with a revised map. Members of the Board had looked at the property. The Board still felt they did not like the idea of extending the cul-de-sac but the land in question was landlocked at its end presenting difficulties in the extension of Leatherstocking Lane to Old White Plains Road. Mr. Kramer stated that each house would be built to fit the contour of the lot. The Board pointed out that the lot the applicant was considering for joint ownership was located in the Village and that this would present a problem as to the responsibility of the upkeep. The possi- bility of the Town receiving ownership of this land for conservation purposes was discussed and the pro- blem of the stream running through the property. The Board, also, discussed the need to sewer a por- tion of the proposed subdivision through the conser- vation area and the probability of overflow on to the Sheldrake Trail. After further discussion it was decided that the Secretary arrange for a meeting between the Conser- vation Advisory Committee, the applicant and members of the Planning Board. NEW SUBDIVISION - FAIRWAY DRIVE The following persons appeared before the Board in reference to the application: Mr. Samuel Quittman, applicant Mr. Stanley Quittman, 1060 Seven Oaks Lane, Mamaroneck Mr. Thomas McEvoy, Jr., surveyor Mr. Quittman presented his application and plan to the Board for the subdivision of the northeast end of Fairway Drive into 17 lots. Each lot will be approximately a 1 acre. The Board did not feel that there would be any ser- ious problems and in regard to the 10% of the land to be used for recreation purposes the Board thought they may recommend that with the approval of the applicant and the Town Board, the Town accept a mon- etary contribution in lieu of land for recreation purposes. The Town expects in the near future to install a sewer on Prince Willows Lane and the new sewer will service these homes. After further discussion the Board decided that they would have to go out and look at the property with the Conservation Advisory Committee and Recreation Commission. Mr. Quittman was asked to return at the Board's next meeting on June 12, 1968. OLD BUSINESS The Board discussed the plan submitted to the Village Board by Protano, Inc. to construct rental attached houses in the Village of Mamaroneck. Mr. Maggini had borrowed a copy of a plan which was to be dis- cussed at the Village meeting on May 9, 1968. The Board had written a letter to Mr. Kane and the Town Board approving the plan but now felt they would like to amend their decision in view of the proposed number of units which appear to violate the intended application of the statute. The three members of the Board who were present at the meeting felt that before they did anything the other two members who were absent should be consulted. The Town Engineer was asked to prepare a normal subdivision plan which would serve as a guide to the number of units which would be permitted on the plot in question. After further discussion the Board decided that they would wait till all members were present and Mr. Potenza offered to send literature regarding "Cluster Housing".
