ROY August 26, 1977 The Mayor and Board of Trustees Village of North Tarrytown Municipal Building 28 Beekman Avenue North Tarrytown, New York 10593 Re: Philipse Avenue Gentlemen: This office represents Douglas D'Arpino of 21 Devries Avenue, North Tarrytown, New York, who is the owner of property on Highland Avenue which includes the bed of Philipse Avenue (a paper street only) as shown on certain Philipse Manor subdivision maps and is also on the Official Map of the Village of North Tarrytown. Sometime in the late 1940's the Town of Mount Pleasant and the Village of North Tarrytown assigned tax designations, forclosed tax liens and then sold the bed of Philipse Avenue, mainly to adjoining property owners. The parcel in question with which our client is concerned is presently shown on the Tax Assessment Map as Lot 5 Block 22 Section 14. This parcel was acquired by John Fiala, then sold to Erwin and Mildred Alisch and it was acquired by Mr. D'Arpino in June of 1976. Mr. D'Arpino is the owner of real property on either side of this parcel and wishes to create a building plot which would meet all of the zoning requirements presently existing in the Village of North Tarrytown. In order to do this it will be necessary to have your board under the procedure set forth in Sec. 7-724 of the Village Law remove the paper street from the official map of the Village of North Tarrytown. At this time we are requesting you as the Board of Trustees to remove Philipse Avenue from the Official Map for the following reasons: 1) It is highly doubtful if the Village of North Tarrytown would e\er construct a road paralleling Broadway, distant 150 feet Westerly for some five blocks, as it would create an island of homes bounded on one side by Broadway and on the other side by Philipse Avenue, and �f ROY AND ROY PAOC create a road with no defined starting or stopping point. 2) Since the Town of Mount Pleasant and the Village of North Tarrytown conveyed the fee to Philipse Avenue in order for the Village of North Tarrytown to reacquire the fee of Philipse Avenue it would be necessary for them to enter upon a long and costly condemnation proceeding. 3) The Village of North Tarrytown would by the beneficiary as would the Town of Mount Pleasant and the school district from increased tax revenues obtained from one family residences that could be constructed on lots such as the one owned by Mr. D'Arpino. 4) The Village of North Tarrytown to be consistent should have removed this paper street, Philipse Avenue, from the Official Map concomitant with making tax parcels of sections of Philipse Avenue. 5) The retention on the Official Map of Philipse Avenue as a paper street never to be built, serves no legitimate governmental purpose. We hope that your board will take the appropriate action to initiate the removal of Philipse Avenue from the Official Map and we are prepared to meet with you, or your designated representatives, as soon as possible to effectuatethis. Very truly yours, ROY and ROY By DMDR/s>k � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
