Linda Fukuchi, clerk,,read the public notice of hearing to consider the request of Dimitrios Papadopoulos, 49% Elm Street, for an appeal to obtain a permit for the enclosure of an existing front porch. It was noted that the porch is presently roofed. Also noted was that other houses in Mr. Papadopoulo's area have enclosed porches. It was also noted that although the existing porch does not satisfy the 20 ft. setback requirement, the proposed enclosure will not diminish the setback. A list of neighbors along with their signatures was presented, saying they had notice of the proposal and that they had no objections. A motion made to end the hearing was made by Edward Swaby, and seconded by Frank Paolantonio. The motion was unanimously approved. The public notice of hearing was then read by Linda Fukuchi, clerk, to consider the request of Mario Di Felice, 35 Gory Brook Road, for an appeal of the Building inspector's denial to obtain a permit for the construction of a sun deck at the back of his house. Chairman Arcate asked if the Board"had a list of neighbors who were notified of said construction. The clerk had received postal receipts of notice to neighbors as required. Mr. Armando Galella Addresssed .the board ?as the representative?of Mr. Di Felice who was out of town. * Mr. Galella presented to the Board seven letters from neighbors of Mr. Di Felice. Six of the letters indicated no objection to the proposed construction. * • William Hongach, of 30 New Broadway, addressed the Board,;saying that a sundeck would infringe on}his ^privacy, as\the Jdeck- would be almost at his property line. Should someone fall^ for example, off said planned deck for the Di Felice house, they would fall on his property. He feared the distance would be too close to His second floor windows. Building Inspector, Mr. Page, noted that this property is presently non-conforming due to lot size and the size of the house. It was also noted that said extension would bring 3^ houses close together. f^fe>-^:^>. r---^a :tfJ^>s.v ^ j f c ^ ^ - i ^ i ^ s y ^ ^ ^ �-2- There being no further hearings, Chairman Areate thanked those present for their participation and invited them to remain for the business meeting.

Attorney Ponzini said no, he need not be present, as all proper and legal steps had been taken, along with the public notice in the newspaper. He also noted that no one voiced any opposition, the Board could act as they saw fit. A motion to grant the said variance in accordance with Sections 62-2 and 62-40c was made by Mr. Swaby, and seconded by Mr. Ceconi. The motion was unanimously approved. II. Concerning the variance requested by Mr. Di Felice," .Chairman Arcate read the letters from neighbors regarding the construction of a sundeck. One neighbor was against it. Chairman Arcate gave his own view, noting that variances may be granted especially if the zoning rules cause-undue'hardship on'the owner. But, he noted, the variance being sought is for recreational use rather than living space. He could not justify MrV Di Felice's appeal as one of hardship. Mr. Swaby concurred, saying the Board members should'support the decision of the Building Inspector, Mr.. Page. As this is not '.'hardship", he made a motion to deny the granting of a variance as not•satisfying Sections 62-2 and 62-40c, seconded by Mr. Paolantonio, and carried unanimously. Mr. Page noted that Mr. Zelig, of 17 Hemlock Drive, has no certificate of occupancy, and by law, cannot live there. In regard to another matter the board members/agreed:to send - a proposal to the Board of Trustees asking that the Building Inspector be given the power to enforce a time limit on building permits. Mr. Page noted he has open building permits dated back as far as 1967. Mr. Page suggested a 12 month time limit subject to extension if �-3- circumstances warrant There being no further business ;to discuss, Board member Mr. Ruane made a motion, seconded by Mr. Swaby, to end'tonight' s meeting, which carried unanimously.

Linda Fukuchi, clerk, read the Public Notice of hearing, to consider the request of Boyce Realty Co. of 159 Wildey St., in Tarrytown, for a n appeal to obtain relief for a building permit to erect a proposed fence of 8 feet in height with a sliding gate assembly, 16 ft. in height, as Zoning Ordinance 62-13 (F) of North Tarrytown limits the height of any fence in any business area to 6 ft. the - fence is to b e located on* the southern side of Clinton St. , between Cortlandt St. and Beekman Avenue. Chairman Arcate then asked if anyone present wished to address the Board: Peter Blasi, Esq., represting Boyce Realty Co.y described a map of North Tarrytown (Rider A o f the petition) showing the design and location of the proposed fence. He said the reason for the additional height of the fence is due to constant traspassing by either children playing in the area, or animals straying. allowed a present is not sufficient. He stated the 6 ft. maximum height H e stated that the proposed fence would also help to keep debris from being thrown in. Mr. Blasi also presented a detailed sketch (Rider .B of the petition) o f the proposed fence, showing how the gate iri this fence could b e rolled back on an overhead trolley to permit trucks to enter. H e said the fence would n o t b e used so as to totally close .off the property as the gate would allow access from Clinton Street. : . w. -^ -i^^^^^^^^^l^mi^'&^iMM^M^^^&^^^^sk^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^B, ^•7i^^,^\^^£^^^^M^^^6^^^-SMM^^^^W^^&^h^^^' �- 2 - " '• Chairman Arcate asked if all owners within 200 ft. of Boyce Realty Corp.' had been advised ^^^^of their plans to construct the fence and the public hearing of the date. Mr. Blasi replied in the affirmative, and an Affidavit of Service by registered mail with the list of all such owners was given to Chairman Afcate and made a part of the record. Mr. Henry Boyce, owner of Boyce Realty, then addressed the board. He mentioned that cars, and sometimes taxis, have driven thru on his company's lot. Mr. Boyce proceeded to explain to the Board members that another fence will be erected on the part of the property, which is in Tarxytown. *The side has already been fenced so as to protect the lot. The overhead trolley support beams for the fence and sliding gate would be of a height of 16 ft., to allow the passage of trucks into the garage. Neighbor Joseph Mann's property would be alongside of the proposed fence, it was noted, as members questioned how the fence might affect the area. Mr. Marin's name was on the list of people notified by Mr. Blasi, and on a sworn affidavit of names of all notified. An informal discussion took place between Mr.; Boyce, and Marvin Pickett, another neigHbor ^P^at which time all plans were reviewed. Mr. Pickett said he was in favor of the fence, but upset that the company' s trucks would still be visible from the street while driving by. Chairman Arcate asked if an opaque fence of a fence with slats could be a possibility. Mr. Ceconi spoke against the idea of slats on the fence, as it might encourage children to climb and break them. It was also rioted that such-slats were used by the Village in a fence at the garage with poor results. He suggested a cosmetic cover such as ivy to camouflage the open fence areas. Mr. Pickett said he was not at all against Mr. Ceconi's suggestion of the ivy, or similiar planting. Mr. Pickett was asked by the Board if a fence for Boyce Realty is preferable to its present condition? He replied in the affirmative, saying as long as Clinton Street would remain basically a*residential area,and not an industrial one. Chairman Arcate then asked if there were any further comments. There being none, Mr. Ruane made a motion, seconded by Mr. Swaby, to end the hearing which was carried '^W unanimously. �_3- : \ Business Meeting r^^Chairman Arcate called the meeting to order. He asked for members to act on whether or not a variance should be granted to Boyce Realty Co. Mr. Ceconi made a motion to grant a variance to Boyce Realty, so as to enable them to build the fence proposed in the petition for a variance. Mr. Ceconi commented that some kind of screening should be provided for neighborhood. Chairman Arcate agreed, however, no ted that this was not conditional as the board had not determined such a design provision of the fence. Counsel Robert Porizini said that as he understands the Board, the screening is not a legal condition for the granting of the variance but may be added as a required at the Board's discretion. He, however, suggested that the Board grant a variance only for the life of the fence, once constructed. If at a late date it need be removed a new variance would be needed for the new fence. ; A motion was then made to grant a variance to Boyce Realty Co. in accordance with - ^Pparagraphs 62-2 and 62-40 to construct a fence on the Clinton Street side of their lot. This motion was by Mr. Ceconi, arid seconded by Mr. Swaby. The motion was carried7unanimously. j ':-':: \ : \ Chairman Arcate then thanked all'Board members for tonight's(attendance"/.due to sucti short notice given.
