Respectfully submitted, AJA&tooA'-* Filomena Fallacaro Clerk EXECUTIVE SESSION A discussion was held between the Building Inspector and members of the Zoning Board regarding a clarification of Section 62-34 of the Zoning Ordinance. With regard to a recent complaint from Mr. Joseph Blascik of run-off water from Mr. Solari!s property above his which has damaged his wall and lawn, Mr. Losier stated that he had made an inspection of the property. In speaking to Mr. Solari, he was told that a dry well has been installed in the rear of the property. The wall was built before he became Building Inspector, said Mr. Losier. There was nothing he could do about it. Counsel stated that he spoke to Mr. Solari who told him that the water is coming down from the leader on the house next door. Mr, Losier stated that in talking with Mr. Biros, this has been a problem for years. The water comes from a pipe on Mr. Beck's property. Mr. Margotta stated that this could be a broken Village pipe. A discussion followed regarding a time limit on complaints regarding walls. Counsel stated that he would check with other municipalities as to their time limits. Mr. Losier was asked if he would check with Mr. Biros to test the water coming on to Mr. Blascik1s property for chlorine which will determine whether or not a Village pipe is causing the water problem. Mr. Losier presented an opinion to the Zoning Board (a copy of which is attached in official minutes) regarding Mr. Goudreau's wall. (Mr. Goudreau was sent a letter by the Zoning Board that he was in violation of Art. 5, Section 62-9B). �-3Mr. Losier stated that he was informed by Mr. Goudreau that the building inspector issued him a building permit and he was not going to do anything about it* Mr. Goudreau also informed him, said Mr. Losier, that if the Zoning Board proceeded further, he would take the Zoning Board and Building Inspector to court. Mr. Losier asked the Board to support him as the Building Inspector or do otherwise. On a question from Mr. Arcate if Mr. Goudreau submitted plans for a wall, Mr. Losier stated that he issued Mr. Goudreau a building permit to erect a house and if it°was necessary to section off his property with a wall, he could do so with the same permit. Other permits have been issued without a wall shown on site plans, said Mr. Losier. were Trustee Arcate stated that they/never challenged. The plans are a useful guide, he said. Mr. Friere stated that the building inspector supervised the building of his wall. Mr. Connelly stated that members of the Board do not know how the wall was built. Mr. Goudreau should, by deposition, show the Board in some way as to" how the wall was built. It should be in writing, notarized and made part of the file, he said* Mr. Margotta stated that the building inspector and Mr. Goudreau should have sworn statements as to how their walls were built. At this time, the Clerk was excused, Mr. Arcate moved, seconded by Mr. Margotta that the Zoning Board recommend to the Board of Trustees that the Zoning Ordinance of North Tarrytown be revised to change Article V, section 62-13 paragraph F-2 to eliminate the words "and except for any necessary retaining wall". The Zoning Board appeals \to the Board of Trustees to promptly take the necessary steps to authorize this revision. The members of the Zoning Board will appear at the hearing to this end and present arguments in support of this action. J. Arcate, J. Margotta, J. Friere and T. Connelly in favor of motion. (Mr. Esteban absent). J. Arcate Temp. Secretary �Man© March 21,'"1974, about 12 O'clock Noon. I received a phone call from Mrs. Iosier to cote and see water run off her property. It was raining very hard - if I heard the radio correctly about 1* of water was coming down. The water on Bedford Bead was not running over on the West side. Vfoter North of North Street was flooding the A empty lots & water gushing out of the storm drains. Water on the fill in Losier yard was flowing down North Street in a good volume. No water going over the wall.From North Street the wall wasiwst, but I did not see any run off on wall as water was running down hill on land. I would say in the middle of the yard near to the Losier house. �I i It i/i alleged that Mr. Goudrcaxi is in violation of Art.5 Section 62-9B which roads as follows:- "Ifo building shall bo erected on any land, and no change shall be made in tho existing contours of any land, including any change in tho couroo^ width or elevation of any natural or other drainage chanuel, in any manner that will obstruct, interf02*0 with or change tho drainage of such land, taking into account land development that may take place in tho vicinityj under the provisions of this ordinance, without providing adequate drainage j in connection therewith"- Tho original slope of thia property was quite atecp* by bringing in fill and levelling his back yard he reduced tho flow of water j by absorption if by nothing else; he has also made provisions for a catch basin which will pipe water to North Street. j i 1 1 It ia nlso aliogod that hie retaining vail io not necessary in excess of five j I feet or p. violation of Article 5 Section 62-13F2 which rends 00 follows:j Except as otherwise provided and except for any necessary retaining wall, no j wall or open or solid fence in excess of "ive-(5) "eet in height shall"be erected along the side yards and rear y-res in any residential district; in rll side yards the five (5) feet HSQpi% XgKoa j ji fence height shall be permitt- j * 1 1 ed but not forward of a-required front yrrd"- To retain the fill the vail is j 1 necessary and based on the premise th-t a property owner is entitled to ren- * sonable enjoyment and use of hia Isnd, the wall is necessary. No water h-?o j been directed onto the Paolantonio property. j I The third allegation relates to the stability .«md safety of the wall. 1 i This j i 1 \ would be a direct violation of Art.l Section 62-2C which states: "Protect i * X Against Hczards.

I hsve witnessed Mr. Coudreau construct similar walls at a greater height "nd in my estimation this man is a perfectionist and anyone knowing him can attest to this. Because of the proximity of his home to mine, I had the occasion to see thrt the wall was constructed in accordance with good engineering practices. insure proper construction.

Mr. Mike Hyland, 122 Gordon Ave., member of the^F.O.E. stated that the only complaint he had was that cars were blocking the entrance to their parking lot.

Mr, Frank Hrotko, 20 Gordon Ave., stated that last summer, Mr. Vazquez pulled out one of his cars and tried to sell it. He stated that he had to call police headquarters during the night because Mr. Vaz quez was running the car in order to fix it. Mr. Floyd Variano, 6 Katrina Ave., questioned the variance which was granted to Ithe Margotta parking lot at Katrina Ave. Mr. James Margotta stated that a variance was given to his father in 1956 to park automobiles. The variance stipulated that ten automobiles could be parked there, he said. At different times, people throughout the park who had overnight guestsvas well as restaurant people and members of the F.O.E. were allowed to park in the lot.
