I had intended to be at the meeting in connection with the application of Soundview Woods, Inc. for a third sup- plemental map. I understand, however, from Mrs. Dammann that this matter will not come up for a final hearing until a later meeting. In the meantime I want to call your attention to the fact that the second supplemental map and in fact no map should be filed until after the bond which you require-in this case $21, 405. 00- has been filed with you and approved by the Town Board as required by Section 277 of the Town Law. Until this is done and the deeds for the streets on this map have been furnished, you should not sign the approval on the map. When the final and last supplemental map of Soundview Woods, Inc. is approved, your resolution should in some fashion consolidate all of these various applications and I would like to have the privilege of advising you concerning the form of resolution to be then adopted. PLANNING CONSULTANT--MR FRED CLARK The Board discussed at some length the Revised Proposed Zoning Ordinance particularly floor area rquirements. Mr. Kane suggested that when a Public Hearing was arranged , every effort be made to acquaint the public with the amount of time and thought that had gone into this Proposed Zoning Ordinance. Mr. Maggini, Chairman, thought that it might be wise to meet with the Neighborhood Associations and bus iness groups and point out to them how their suggestions and criticisms had been 174 ® incorporated, as far as possible and practicable, into the revised Ordinance. No definite decision was reached as to this matter. AD JOURNMENT There being no further business to come before the meeting it was adjourned at 10:00 p. m. to reconvene June 2, 1958. rA4111 Secretary 175 L
