tmmmmmmmmmmmmmsm PLANNING BOARD continued from page 1 Referred to Town Board The merits of the road were not discussed at the meeting, but the Planning Board will request that the Town Board appropriate funds to study the matter. Mr. Winikoff, the developer, said that in the interest of expe diency, he might be willing to pay the cost of a study which the Planning Board said, must be done by a consultant hired by the Town. The main reason a road going along the edge of the property would be a problem for the developer is that the 10-acre lot is long and narrow, and puts design constraints on the architect. The necessary setbacks from an additional road would narrow the building area, further limit ing the number of units which could be built. Mssrs. Whelan and Winikoff were visibly annoyed when Mr. Henson brought up the question of the road. Mr. Whelan said, \We have been working on this project for four months under the impression that the Town would not put a highway through there, as the land was zoned for multi-family housing. With a road through there, we would only have a 35 foot wide corridor in which we could build.\ Mr. Winikoff said he bought the property because he had come away from the Oct. 7 Plan ning Board hearing with the impression that the road exten sion had been dropped. Town Planning Consultant David Portman said he will look into the cost of a study to deter mine the desirability of leaving the road extension on the New Castle map. A study must be authorized by the Town Board. Board votes The only vote taken Tuesday night was on a deck which Holmes and McKenna plans to add to one of their houses off Whippoorwill Lake Rd. This was approved unanimously, while Peter Landau, Democratic Town Chairman New Castle's new Democratic Town Chairman is Peter Lan dau, a 14-year New Castle resi dent and a New York City attor ney. He will meet with the party policy committee for the first time this Saturday, Dec. 13, at the home of town Councilman Thomas McCann. Joining Landau as the other new officer on the Democratic Town Committee is Geoffrey Kent of Hilltop Drive. An attor ney with General Foods and a three-year resident of town, Kent was elected the party's new treasurer. Saturday's meeting is a preli minary session about the next local election In November and Landau is encouraging all the town's residents to \come forth and recommend people\ for office. This commitment to \fresh ideas,\ he says, links the party with \the truly open government\ of Democratic Supervisor Richard E. Burns. Landau promises that New Castle Democrats will be more active on the county level - \where we have been too quiet, up to now\ - and says the party will begin encouraging people to enroll in political parties, \even if it's the Republican party,\ as an educational effort. \You can't moan about candidates if you don't participate in the nominat ing process,\ the new Town Chairman noted. CHAPPAQUA JOURNAL, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 11, 1980 State home The Board discussed constraints it wants to place on the three-lot D'Alton subdivision which extends over land belonging to both the Town of New Castle and the Village of Mt. Kisco. Lot No. 1 of the subdivision is proposed for a state-run group home for the mentally retarded. Since the lot is on the corner of a private road and Bedford Road, a main thoroughfare, the Board discussed closing off certain means of access from the property to the main road, to assure the safety of the group home residents. There was also discussion about maintainence the Board refrained from voting on two other matters brought before them by Mr. McKenna, pending further investigation, the Board will make a \field trip\ to one of the lots in question. They also decided to visit a site off Garden Ridge Rd. on which Arnold Teasdale plans to build. Public hearings The Board also refrained from voting on the two matters brought up for public hearings, the D'Alton subdivision off Bedford Rd. and Pond View Estates (Cronin) subdivision off Granite and Millwood Roads. of the private road. The Board also wants a condition placed on further subdivision of the property, including the part in Mt. Kisco. The Board wants to ban further subdivision of the land without the New Castle Planning Board's approval. Cronin subdivision John Rosenthal of the New Castle Conservation Board was on hand to voice that Board's approval of the Pond View Estates (Cronin) subdivision off Granite and Millwood Roads. At the Nov. 18 Planning Board meeting, the matter had been adjourned after Conservation Board Chairman Raymond Odiorne said he was concerned that underground springs might not be properly mapped on the site plan Mr. Cronin gave the Board. Since that time, Mr. Rosenthal said, his Board had checked the proposed septic field area after a heavy rainfall and had found no sign of springs. The Board withheld its vote pending reception of a written report from the Conservation Board and changes in the proposed double driveway which would be constructed on the border between the two lots in the subdivision.
