Mr. Franklin Odell, Jr. , P.E.
Mr. Anthony Zock
Mr. Nicholas Dales
Mr. Thomas Byrne
Communication received by Mr. Peter Kane, Supervisor

711 Weaver Street, Larchmont
Mr. Odell presented the Board with the latest drawing
showing the changes to be made in the present swim-
ing pool.
Mr. Zock, Mr. Dales and Mr. Byrne stated that they
felt this change would make the pool safer for the
children by separating the diving area from the swim-
ming area in a new L shaped arrangement and they
would be willing to accept any suggestions the Board
could make. However, complete relocation of pool
facilities made the costs prohibitive.
After further discussion the Board suggested that
audible and visual controls are requisite to any
improvement or expansion of the present pool and
they wanted to see another more complete plan with
location of parking, trees, etc. as well as eleva-
tion views. An appointment was made for the Board
members to go look over the property before the next
meeting.

BALDWIN HILLS
A letter was received from Mr. John Stahr, Chairman
of the Town of Mamaroneck Recreation Commission call-
ing attention to the fact that Baldwin Estates had
promised to deed Lot No. 10 to the Town for public
use but because of the changes in the grades this
lot is unsuitable for the use for which it had been
set aside. Mr. Stahr suggested that the Planning
Board notify Baldwin Hills Development to ask that
an alternate lot be appropriated. A letter was sent
to Mr. Kretchmer, President of Baldwin Hills Deve-
lopment, Inc. requesting that this be done.
On the advice of the Town Attorney, Mr. Johnston
it was decided that from a legal standpoint the
Planning Board could not unilaterally change the
Resolution from Lot 10 to another lot, and a letter
was to be sent to Mr. Stahr advising him of this.
MAP OF PRINCE WILLOWS
The Board decided that these maps should be incor-
porated as part of the Master Plan and that the pro-
per Resolution should be adopted.
COMMUNICATIONS
A letter was received from Mrs. Betti Richard Matsch
suggesting that because of the heavy traffic on Dur-
ham Road the Town should build another road to ser-
vice the new homes in Soundview Woods. Mr. Widulski,
the Town Engineer had written to Mrs. Matsch advis-
ing her that when construction is completed the amount
of traffic will diminish and that when the Planning
Board approved the subdivision it reserved the right
of way for future street improvement, when all roads
are completed and accepted by the Town Board.

There being no further business to come before this
meeting it was adjourned at 9:45 p.m.
