RE PRELIMINARY SUBDIVISION MAP - GLEN ROCK ESTATES
Mr. William A. Glaser, together with Mr. Ralph Cronquist, Land
Surveyor, appeared in connection with the Glen Rock Estates de-
velopment.
Mr. Glaser informed the Board that the plan for the sewer had
been approved by the State Departmentof Health, and the plan
for the water main had the approval of the Westchester Joint
Water Works No. 1.
At this point the Town Engineer read a resolution from the minutes
of a Town Board meeting on October 10, 1955, authorizing the
installation of the water main in this development.
In view of this information, the Chairman stated that insofar as
the Planning Board is concerned, the installation of water is not
a problem of this Board and should be handled direct between the
developer and the Westchester Joint Water Works.
The preliminary subdivision was further discussed by the Board
with Mr. Glaser and Mr. Cronquist, who is presently engaged in
the preparation of the final plans. Mr. Cronquist stated that he
expected to have them available by the next meeting of the Planning
Board.
At the conclusion of this discussion, the Board unanimously approved
that portion of the preliminary plan, provided that the final layout
shall meet all the Rules and Regulations of the Planning Board,
with the exception that the cul de sac shall be approximately
475 feet from the center line of Old Country Road, to the center
of the turn around.
RE PROPOSED SUBDIVISION SOUNDVIEW WOODS, INC.
Messrs. Newburgh and Muson appeared and stated that they had on
hand a preliminary plan which they wished to leave with this Board
for study. They explained that the original 72 plots had been reduced
to 62, with approximately one-third acre in each plot.

They informed the Board that the preliminary layout was
basically the same layout which Mr. Clark, Planning Con-
sultant, who had been retained by this Board had prepared,
and which the Planning Board recommended to them.
Mr. Frank M. Gagliardi, Attorney, appearing on behalf
of his clients, the Bonnie Briar Association, stated that
he had examined the preliminary plan as submitted to
this Board and wished to state for the record that so far
as his clients were concerned, there were no objections
to this plan since it did not show ingress and egress to
Bonnie Briar Lane.
Messrs. Newburgh and Muson stated that they would like
to get started as soon as possible, and were, therefore,
submitting this preliminary plan at this time.
The Board informed them that the Town Engineer would
study the preliminary plan and report his findings to the
Board.
During the course of study of said preliminary plan, it
was discovered that errors had been made in its pre-
paration, and Mr. McEvoy withdrew the preliminary
plan for correction.
RE PRELIMINARY MAP OF SAXON PARK ESTATES
The Secretary informed the Board that an application and
a check in the amount of $10. 00 was received on the above
captioned subdivision. In view of the fact that no final lay-
out, as provided in the "Requirements for the Approval of
Subdivision Plats", accompanied the application, no action
was taken until such time as a final layout, approved by
the Town Engineer, is filed with the Secretary.
