Robert Wassman, Chairman Ralph Heisel Robert Inunerman Pamela Washington Joan Williams Also present: Elaine Price, Councilwoman William E. Jakubowski, Building Inspector CALL TO ORDER The meeting was called to order by Chairman Wassman at 8:03 PM. APPROVAL OF MINUTES It was decided to waive approval of the minutes of the last meeting until the next meeting, August 15, 1991. STUDY SESSION Mr. Wassman reported that, immediately prior to this meeting, the Board had held a study session. It had heard an extremely informative report from the Urban Forester concerning urban trees. He recommended that hemlocks were a poor choice for planting and predicted that soon they will not survive below Albany because of a blight. The Forester recommended white pine and Norway pine for this climate and for their ability to withstand occasional salt water flooding. LARCHMONT AUTO PARTS DISTRIBUTORS Mr. Fredericks, a sign maker, appeared on behalf of the applicant. The application involved several aspects: painting the building white, adding red and blue stripes and changing signs to reflect the national logo of Car Quest, a company this business has joined. There is an existing sign of five feet by five feet which exceeds the limit allowed under the Town of Mamaroneck Sign Ordinance. The sign would have to stay in its exact place to be permitted as a pre-existing non-conforming usP. The Board questioned whether the proposed stripes would be included as part of the signage under the Ordinance. This Board decided, 3-2, against allowing the sign over the door to be changed to the new logo. . It was decided to put the entire matter over to the August 15th meeting. The Board requested the presence of the owner of the business to discuss the application as well as questions of landscaping at the site. paap bUp[apd aq4 buTNpu pup qno gzno p buTgpuTurTe pagsabbns aH •papMoao eq PTno1 eoup zqua e n. gp paap PTO egg gpgq Pagpgs TesTaH 'aLd •xTPm aqg aano qno sago buTATap utoa4 sanaTg4 guanaad oq A;Tanoes aq oq seg aaagq gpgg pazTubooaz aH •ppoH abpT} )pou oq p O s)[00unuoH WOJJ ppog gsod agg buoTp saTlaadoad ao3 sup-0 et44 oq apTTurrs NTPmapTs aqq buoTp peg pasTpa P pegsabbns TNsMogmpr •-t14 oANopq puP Ad is NooT PTnoM dTgsaaTpap eq4 3o guoa4 eq-. gp saagupTd pasodozd alp 4044 pets TesTeH 'aw •uoTgpoTTddp sTg4 aoJ ssaoozd upTd e;Ts eq4 pup uuaq eq.

Mr. Catena agreed to repave the area near the curb to the East of the curb cut and to plant six 3-inch-caliper street trees at the curb outlined by Belgian block. Concerning signs, Mr. Monroe stated that it was proposed to install a 30 square foot sign on the front and a similar one on the side of the building. In a flower box it is proposed to place a logo sign in accordance with the Town's ordinance. This "monument" sign would be illuminated from the interior and would have a black standard. There will be light standards 15-18 feet high, with downed lights, and same standards 20 feet high in the front of the building. There will also be some soft lighting for the evening hours at the doors. Mrs. Davidson requested that the lights be less obtrusive than they were under the previous lessee. Mr. Heisel suggested that lights similar to those at the Carleton House would be effective. They illuminate the parking lot without annoying the neighbors. Mr. Wassman requested a more detailed plan with lighting cuts and photometrics Mr. Inmlerman suggested contacting Con Edison to make its service box more attractive. The Board reviewed the external plan for the dealership. The building will be repainted and new windows will be installed. It was unanimously agreed that construction could begin, under Mr. Jakubowski's direction on the interior alterations, the roof, the facade and the glazing. The Board wanted to review new plans for the landscaping, the lighting and paving. ADJOURNMENT The meeting was adjourned at 11:15 PM. E7 E. Ro•- Wassman
