Chairman -86- RE MURDOCK WOODS SUBDIVISION - BOND NO. 251372 Mr. Irwin Oster of 3 Split Tree Road, Scarsdale, N.Y., appeared before the Board and stated that in view of the fact that the Town Engineer had recommended that the Town would wait until Spring to accept that portion of Salem Drive and Split Tree Road, which had been paved, he requested an extension of time for completion. On motion by Mr. Blair, seconded by Mr. Mullick, the following resolution was unanimously adopted: WHEREAS, this Board heretofore approved a bond of indemnity signed by G.B. & E.M. Realty Corp. and the Indemnity Insurance Company of North America, the con- dition of which bond is that G.B. & E.M. Realty Corp. shall complete the improvement of a portion of Split Tree Road as shown on map#R.O. 9919, and more particularly described therein on or before December 11, 1956, which bond is for the sum of$3,000. and is dated November 11, 1956, WHEREAS, it appears that G.B. & E.M.

Mr. Oster further stated that the Town Engineer had re- quested that a curb be installed in that section of Salem Drive, and questioned the necessity of such curbing stating that this would entail an expenditure of some $1500. --$1800.

RE GLEN ROCK ESTATES SUBDIVISION Messrs. Glaser and Gleicher appeared before the Board requesting consideration of the many problems these developers are confronted with concerning the installation of curbs, sewers, water mains, etc. in their subdivision due to the prohibitive costs of all such installations not- withstanding the excessive amount of rock necessitating blasting for any installation of work. The Board discussed this matter and no action was taken. RE ALBERT GOULD SUBDIVISION The Town Engineer presented a preliminary plan and profile of proposed road as shown on Subdivision Map of Winged Foot Knolls, Section Two, in the Town of Mamaroneck, Westchester County, N.Y., dated October 19, 1954, and advised that said plan and profile had been filed prior to the creation of the Planning Board. He further stated that the developer proposed a new location of the turn-around with a radius of 50 feet instead of the original turn-around which had a radius of 40 feet. The new location of the turn-around will shorten the length of the dead-end street. Following discussion, no action was taken pending submission of the final plan showing new turn-around and easement covering entire water main. RE PROPOSED SUBDIVISION RE PROPERTY OWNED BY EMNA A.
