SAXON GLEN SUBDIVISION The following persons appeared before the Board: Mr. Wilbur Fried, applicant 4525 Greystone Avenue, Bronx, New York Judge Reuben Sirlin, Attorney for applicant 211 Mamaroneck Avenue, Mamaroneck, N. Y. Mr. Thomas J. McEvoy, Jr. , Surveyor for applicant 2005 Palmer Avenue, Larchmont, New York Members of the Board were presented with correspondence Mr. Widulski had received from Mr. Rotfeld, the ap- plicant's engineer,regarding the storm drain and sanitary sewer and a copy of a letter Mr. Fried had received from Commissioner Pound of the County of Westchester, Department of Parks, Recreation and Conservation. Commissioner Pound stated in his letter to Mr. Fried that he had reviewed the plan prepared by Mr. Rotfeld and that they approved the plan as submitted. Com- missioner Pound, also, said that they were in accord with the proposed relocation of the existing open drainage ditch into which the storm drainage of the subdivision will drain. The ditch enters into the Saxon Woods property. Mr. Rotfeld in his letter stated that in regard to the pumping of the sewage he had a discussion with Mr. Richard Schulz, P.E. , of the County Department of Public Works who felt that the plan of having A the force main connection to Griffen Avenue via the existing force main from Carriage House Land pumping station could be satisfactorily worked out until such time as the Prince Willow sewer is constructed. Mr. Schulz stated that the request for connection to the new Prince Willow sewer and any agreements made with regard to the use of it must be initiated by the Town of Mamaroneck rather than by his office or by the developer. The Chairman informed the applicants that he had discussed with both the Town Board and the Recrea- tion Commission regarding the parcel of land for recreation purposes and they were desirous of obtain- ing the parcel of land to be deeded to the Town that they had originally selected from the plan. Mr. Wi- dulski pointed out that the lots could be adjusted on the plan so that only two lots will be lost to the builder of the total on the original plan. Judge Sirlin suggested that his client was desirous of obtaining permission from the Board to divide the subdivision into three sections. If they were permitted to do this three separate plans would have to be submitted and one construction drawing to cover the three sections. The Board felt that before they could approve sectioning of the subdivision they would have to go out and look the property over. Members of the Board will meet Saturday morning, September 16, 1967 at 8:30 a.m. to look at the land and decide whether they thought it advisable for the subdivision to be dividedinto two or three sec- tions. After further discussion it was decided that Mr. McEvoy make up a rough sketch or indicate on the preliminary subdivision plan the manner in which the subdivision would be sectioned and the Board will advise the applicant of their decision. DEANE PLACE A copy of a letter was presented to Board members that Mr. Widulski had received from Mr. Joseph A. Minnitti, attorney for the applicants requesting that the application be adjourned to the next Plan- ning Board meeting of October 11, 1967. BONNIE BRIAR COUNTRY CLUB SWIMMING POOL The following persons appeared before the Board: Mr. Franklin C. Odell, Jr. , P.E. 11 Theodore Fremd Avenue, Rye, N. Y. Mr. Lee Gibson, President of Bonnie Briar C.C. 20 Little Farms Road, Larchmont, N. Y. Mr. Anthony Zock 17 Mildred Parkway, New Rochelle, N. Y. Mr. Odell presented the Board with plans to build a new swimming pool and put in new locker room fac- ilities. He stated that his clients had discovered it was more economical to build a new pool than to make alterations to the present pool. All facili- ties will be on approximately the same level as the parking area allowing for more effective visual screen- ing from the neighboring properties. After further discussion the Board decided that Mr. Widulski will call some of the neighbors who had objected to the previous plans to advise them of the new proposal and give them an opportunity to examine the plans. The Planning Board, also, decided to send the following recommendations to the Town Board. Pursuant to Section 432 of the Zoning Or- dinance of the Unincorporated Section of the Town of Mamaroneck, you referred to this Board on September 6, 1967, the ap- plication of the Bonnie Briar Country Club for an extension of its existing Special Use in a Residential District (R-30 Zone) so as to allow the construction of a new swimming pool and related facilities. Representatives of Bonnie Briar appeared before this Board at its regular meeting, September 13, 1967 to discuss preliminary plans. The Board recommended the approval of the new plan with the following conditions: (a) Planting shall be in accord- ance with the planting scheme agreed upon in the original ap- plication. (b) All stanchion lighting on the pool structure shall be not more than ten feet in height and all light sources shall point away from Weaver Street and be properly shielded to prevent the reflection of lights into residences neighboring the club property. (c) All sound amplification sy- stems shall be of the low volume multi-speaker type with controls permitting locational announce- ments so as to minimize unnecessary noise. (d) The pool shall not be operated after 8 p.m. (e) The Club shall not accept any pool memberships or house memberships except from persons who are, have been, or become club or house members under the rules and regulations of the club in effect as of December 1, 1966 or similar provisions of amended rules and regulations which do not extend pool privileges beyond the class of members now eligible to use the pool.
