NEW BUSINESS
Garit Lane Subdivision - Plans for the subdivision of Garit Lane were
studied and discussed. Participating in the discussion were Nicholas Gari-
to and Thomas John McEvoy, Jr.
The question of a possible drainage problem was raised by Mr. Bloom. It
was agreed upon,after a general discussion, that road grades on final pro-
files would be adjusted as the final construction drawings progressed.
In addition, Mr. Rigano suggested that if possible, the division line be-
tween lots 7 and 8 be adjusted. Both Mr. Garito and Mr. McEvoy agreed to
these changes, etc.
After this discussion the Planning Board felt, by unanimous expression,
that Mr. Garito should go ahead and prepare the final plans for this sub-
division and Mr. Garito was so advised by the Board.
Subdivision of Lands of Peter A. Finck - Mr. Emil Severin appeared and pre-
sented a topographical survey of a parcel of land on the southerly side of
Griffen Avenue. He stated he represented the owner of the house and lot
and the one adjacent buildable lot who was asking if it were possible to
build a house on the said adjacent lot. After consulting with officials
in Scarsdale, who thought this was definitely in their Planning Board juris-
diction, it was unanimously decided, subject to advice of counsel, that
jurisdiction,if any, of the Town of Mamaroneck Planning Board was vague.
Following further discussion and upon advice of counsel, it was decided that
the secretary of the Planning Board should note and sign the map to the
effect that the Town of Mamaroneck Planning Board had no jurisdiction in
this matter.
Bonnie Briar Country Club - Mr. Kellogg reported that representatives of the
Bonnie Briar Country Club filed a plan with the Town Office on September 9,
1964 and requested that their problem be included in the Planning Board
agenda. The matter, being of an advising nature and subject to a later Pub-
lic Hearing, was accepted by the Planning Board. The Planning Board then
reviewed the plan, discussed the matter thoroughly and decided that since
any proposed extension of use by the club would be in a direction toward
their fairways and golf course (instead of toward a street or residential
neighborhood) and further the actual amount of building to be extended being
only 10-feet in length, it was deemed by the Board that such extension would
not be objectionable.
The following resolution incorporating the above sentiments was unanimously
passed and the secretary was directed to advise the Town Board of same:
RESOLVED, that this Board has jurisdiction over this application
pursuant to provisions in the Town of Mamaroneck Zoning Ordinance
as adopted on June 29, 1959 and which became effective August 7,
1959;
and it is
FURTHER RESOLVED that this Board has no objection to the appli-
cation of the Bonnie Briar Country Club for an extension and en-
closure to the existing outside terrace at the northerly side of
the existing club house, as described in said application.

Ser-Val Auto Services Co. - Mr. Ciro La Barbera, owner of Ser-Val Auto
Services, reported to the secretary of the Planning Board, prior to the
September 14, 1964 meeting, that after conferring with the Building In-
spector, it was decided to submit their plans for alterations to the ex-
isting building to the Planning Board at the September 14th meeting.
The matter, being of an advising nature and subject to a later Public Hear-
ing, was accepted by the Planning Board.
The Board, at Mr. Kellogg's suggestion, reserved decision on this matter
until the Planning Board had an opportunity to view the property and study
the plans.
