Mt. Pleasant told to plan for industry By SUSAN STROM Mt NO. TARRYTOWN - Pleasant does not need any more land zoned for retail stores now, but should rezone some of the acreage reserved for office buildings to planned light industrial use. This is the recommendation of Frederick P. Clark Associates, planning consultants to the town, in its preliminary report on business and industrial development in Mt. Pleasant. The firm is working on studies for a master plan through a grant from the U S Department of Housing and Development and financial aid from the Comprehensive Planning Assistance Program for the NY. State Office of Planning Coordination When all of the reports are completed, the planning board and the town board will hold open information meetings to present the findings and hear what ideas citizens have for their town A masler plan will then be developed IN MAKING THE recommendation for light industrial use, the report said \This planned light manufacturing could occur along Columbus Avenue and/or in the Grasslands complex. Both areas have natural boundaries separating them from residential develop ments The planners also expressed concern about the present rural business district zoning, most of Route 9A being in this category.' The minimum lot size is one acre \The commercial facilities that are developed along this artery have a wide drawing power for potential customers due to the importance of this highway The name of the district should be changed to 'highway business' which more accurately reflects its use,\ the report said If the land is developed on the eastern and western sides of Route 9A, south of the Hawthorne Circle, with the currrent minimum lot size of 40,000 square feet and min imum width at the front yard setback of 80 feet, it is conceivable \that there could be a> many as one entrance onto the highway every 80 feet \ TO AVOID THIS \it is recommended that either a service road be incorporated into the zoning regulations or the minimum lot size be increased with the provision that it could be subdivided as long as only one entrance is made onto the highway These industrial subdivisions would not reduce the capacity of the highway as much as individual developments and would not create the typical strip commercial development that often degrades an area.\ Most communities, the re port states, have about five per cent of the total land in a centralized downtown business area, but M' Pleasant's 173 acres of business establishments are scattered in the three hamlets Bedell named head of special education YORKTOWN — Frederick|education teacher, H of Hawthorne, Thornwood and Valhalla. This repre- sents 11 per cent of the total land, and provides no identity for the community as in other towns and villages.; In effect the scattered shopping areas \pull the town apart.\ The recently opened Rosehill Shopping Center at Columbus at Nannyhagen should be a \magnet.\ The only other property zoned for a shopping center is on the west side of Route 9 near the Route 117 and Route 9 interchange It could draw customers from a wide area, the planners believe. MEANWHILE, \EXISTING areas planned for businesses should not be developed for business until the planning board determines that the expanding business needs of the town justify such new development.\ To encourage tax producing buildings, the Town has zoned 1-108 8 acres for office buildings, but only 360 acres are being used for that purpose, most of it by Union Carbide in the Grasslands area. In contrast to this, only 104 acres are zoned for industrial use and only 38 acres are actually used for this purpose and most of the remainder has long since had other facilities built upon it. Firms dependent upon white collar workers are likely to be attracted to Mt. Pleasant, the report predicts, but the town will probably not experience tremendous growth in production and warehousing facilities because most of the highways in and around the town exclude commercial traffic GIGGLES, SMILES and close attention were Heidi and Susan Sherrill's reaction to story hour at Somers Library. The story sessions are held from 10:30 to 11:30 a.m. Tuesdays. SOMERS PRE-SCHOOLERS got an introduction to farm life at last Tuesday's Somers library story hour. Reading is Mrs. Sheldon Wool. Mrs. Robert Reidy, Primrose Elementary School librarian, also reads to youngsters dur ing the summer library hours. —Staff Photo by Kaplan PATENT TRADER MT. KISC6, N.
