BewGastle Board Reserves Becision ojri Zoning Change \

CHAPPAQUA— The New Castle ".Town Board

last week reserved decision on a proposed zoning ordinance amendment that would affect property zoned for industrial use, after a public hearing on the issue.

The board agreed on postponing its decision after Pleasantville Village Attorney Edward J . Wren requested that the Pleasantville Planning Board be given time to study the proposed amendment and give an opinion to the New Castle board. The hearing on the amendment was closed, however, subject only to hearing the Pleas antville board's views.

Minimum Setbacks The amendment would empower

the New Castle Planning Board to permit minimum setbacks from the road of 65 feet instead of the 100 feet now required of buildings constructed on property zoned for industrial use.

Wren stressed that the Pleasant ville board was neither for nor against the proposal but he said that since some of New Castle's industrial zoned property is on the Pleasantville village line, the Pleasantville Planning Board "would appreciate the chance to study it." He noted that the planning board of Pleasantville meets on July 12 and would "formulate its views on the matter as soon after that as possible.

C. Willis Griffen of the Chaun-cey B. Griffen real estate firm in White Plains told the board that his firm hopes to develop a small tract of land located near the center of Chappaqua, a c r o s s the street from the town ball field facing on Washington Ave. and abut ting on the railroad. His company, he said, wishes to build about four structures on this land* for industrial purposes. The zoning of the land was changed several years ago from residential to M-l. Griffen stressed that his company had no definite tenants for these pro posed buildings as yet.

Outlines Advantages -Griffen gave reasons why he thought the 65-foot setback amend' ment would be advantageous to the New Castle community

The more- flexible arrangement would permit i n d u s t r i e s us ing such properties to arrange "•parking and other utilitarian uses of the properties." to the best ad

vantage. If a 100 foot rule had to be strictly adhered to " a plan of colonial-fype" architecture" proposed by Griffen's company would be destroyed because p a r k i n g

would have to be at the front of the buildings. Griffen asserted that presidents of corporations such as would occupy the buildings his company wishes to build on the propert "desire as much privacy in their industrial properties as we do in 6ur homes,"

William A. Grier of 24 Crest Rd. toloVthe board that several years ago when he was councilman, negotiations had been made with a large company for the land on Washington Ave. but that they had "come to nothing" because the company wishes to cover from 40 to 50 per cent of the land with buildings. "If you can get by with only the 65-foot setback, I think you will be making real progress," he said. An 'Industrial Showcase*

Griffen said that a company interested in the property wished to construct an "industrial showcase at which other communities definitely will look." He declined to mention the name of the company he had in mind.

Richard Reynolds, chairman of the New Castle Planning Board, told the board1 that the 65-foot setback amendment would not be giving "carte blanche" to whoever would occupy New Castle industrial properties in the f u t u r e . "Any substantial deviation from the plans of proposed developments of these properties will have to be submitted to the Planning Board," he pointed out.

Zoning Clause Approved Over Grier Protest

CHAPPAQUA— Despite the vigorous opposi

tion of William A. Grier of 24 Crest Rd., the New Castle Town Board last week approved unanimously an " a v e r a g i n g clause." The action permits the Town Planning Board to allow developers to build houses on plots less than two acres in areas zoned for^ two-acre residential use. This would be possible only if these plots were compensated for by other plots correspondingly l a r g e r than two acres.

Grier insisted that, if averaging is permitted in areas zoned for two acres, it will ."virtually assure that there will invariably be exactly 50 houses on each 100 acres of such land." He asserted that t h i s constituted "down zoning." He also contended that the averaging clause gave "too loose a standard for the Planning Board to go by," and that it was "not fair" to permit averaging in areas zoned for two acres and not to permit it in one-acre zones.

"Less well intentioned people," he asserted, "will use this law for down zoning. Averaging is not consistent with the overall public welfare."

Fire Damages House After Bolt Strikes CHAPPAQUA-

A fire started by lightning Sunday burned out the second floor of the home of Mrs. John McCarthy on Hardscrabble Rd. and the first floor was left badly water-damaged after fireman fought the blaze three hours.

About 100 men and equipment from three fire companies battled the blaze under the direction of Fire Chief Fred Hitchcock of the Chappaqua Fire Dept.

The Chappaqua company, first on the scene, had to lay more than 3,200 feet .of hose and pumpwater from a hydrant on Chappaqua Rd. The Millwood Fire Dept. had its pumper at the scene and the Pleasantville Fire Dept. was also called. The Mount Kisco Fire Dept. stood by in Chappaqua in case of another fire.

A Tedious Task Hitchcock said that it took al

most 25 minutes to lay the hose to fight the fire that was in the town of Mount Pleasant. However, it is in a section of the town under the fire protection of Chappaqua. The chief said that fires on Hardscrabble Rd. were extremely hard to fight because water had to be taken from the Chappaqua water system, which is a good distance away.

About three-fourths of the furniture in the home was saved by the Chappaqua Fire Patrol. The alarm was turned in at 9:20 p.m. and the Chappaqua company returned at 12:50 a.m.

During the storm in which lightning struck the McCarthy home, a live wire was knocked down on Bedford Rd about 9:30 p.m. and Ptl. Walter Krobetsky had to stay at the scene until an emergency truck from the Consolidated Edison Co. arrived at shortly yfter midnight.

The emergency crew had been busy in northern Westchester handling other wire damage caused by the severe storm.

Lawrence Caso, of Squire's clothing store here, reported that the store was flooded by water during the storm.

In Mount Kisco a large tree limb was reported down on Lexington Ave. near Elman Brothers Junk yard.
