North Tarrytown, N.Y.
March 7, 1985
Present:

John Arcate, Chairman
Aldo Cecorii
Frank Paolahtonio
Mar t in Ruaiie
Edward Swaby
Arthur Brady, Attorney
James Margotta, Building Inspector

Chairman Arcate called the meeting to order at 8:30 P.M.
Linda Fukuchi, acting clerk, read the public notice of hearing
to consider the application of Marcello and Susan Viscogliosi, for
an appeal from the decision of the Building Inspector which denied a
building permit on their property at 183 Valley Street for an addition to their house. Said addition would violate the side line regulations in a C-2 zone where they live.
Chairman Arcate asked if anyone present wished to address the
Board.
Mr. Viscogliosi, the applicant, explained to Board members that
he needs to build a utility room addition to his house that would
enclose a gas fired burner for a central heating system at his house.
Chairman Arcate asked Mr. Viscogliosi if all neighbors within
200 feet of his house had been notified of his plans and of tonight's
hearing. Mr. Viscogliosi replied in the affirmative and gave the
certified mail receipts to the clerk.
Building Inspector Margotta explained that at present, the house
is heated by piped gas into individual heaters. The house was built
without a central heating system, and this causes the house to be
very cold during the winter months. The utility room would measure
6'x6'x7' (feet), and would utilize the existing chimney.
It was noted that the house has no basement. It is designed as
a two family house, and there is no available space inside the house
where a central heating system could be installed.
Mr. Ceconi asked where the hot water heater would be, to which
Mr. Viscogliosi said the same utility room that will enclose the gas
fired burner.
Chairman Arcate asked Building Inspector Margotta if the variance
were to be granted, would there be,a violation from a safety standpoint. Mr. Margotta said there would be no such violation.
Since no* other person wished toraddress the Board\ Mr. Ruane
motioned that the Board end the hearing and go into the business
meeting. Mr. Paolantonio seconded the motion, which was unanimously
passed.

�-2Chairman Arcate invited all present to remain for the businees meeting.
BUSINESS MEETING
Chairman Arcate noted the addition is to be built on the southerly side of the house.
Mr. Margotta said about 6 extra inches should be added to the
6 feet in width being considered for the utility room. The extra
6 inches would be for giving better protection and insulation against
the house.
Chairman Arcate noted that tlie building plans with the extra .6 inches being added, 5' 4" of property would remain as a sideyard
between the utility room and the property next door, and a 4' sideyard on the other side of the house.
Mr. Ruane said if the sideyard requirements are still met where
the proposed utility room will be, will the property meet the 12'
total side yard requirements?
Chairman Arcate said after the extension, the 12' total needed
for the side yards would not be met.
Mr. Swaby asked how many tenants are presently living in the
house. Mr. Viscogliosi replied only:one tenant is"presently*there.
Mr. Margotta noted two families had been there when he -• went to inspect
the property. Chairman Arcate reminded all that the Board's decision
is in regard to the violation of side yard requirements in a C-2 zone.
Mr. Swaby made a motion that the _; Zoning: Board - grant the variance
to Mr. Viscogliosi due to the fact that the present physical conditions
of the house do not serve the needs f for central-: heating and Hot water
systems. The variance is to be granted according to paragraphs
62-40, 62-25 and withthe purpose of the ordinance, Said motion was
seconded by Mr. Paolantonio, and was carried by the Board's unanimous
vote.
Chairman Arcate made a motion to accept the minutes of the Board's
previous meeting, which passed unanimously.
At 8:55 P.M. Chairman Arcate adjourned the meeting.

Respectfully submitted,

Hearing began at 9 P.M. to consider an application for a variance
by Mr. Frank Mangieri to reduce a front yard setback to 10' and a lot
size of 4,200 sq. ft. Clerk read the Public Notice.

Mr. Robert Turnquist, architect for this proposed construction,
gave a brief description ofithe project: the property is on the north
side of Chestnut Street, 228* x 50.5V; one property.line is common with
Mr. Brana's property; the two proposed buildings will contain four and
six dwelling units, four at grade level with a walkway from Chestnut
Street to Beekman Avenue and there will be four garages at grade level.
The walkway will be lighted and the buildings will be brick exterior;
parking spaces will be assigned to tenants - the proposed construction
will provide 15 parking spaces where only 12 are required.
Mr. Turnquist explained that the requested variance for a 10' front
yard was to permit the open area between the buildings to be 10' wider.
Mr. Swaby questioned whether there would be a solution to the storm
water/sewer line problem and Mr. Turnquist said he would like to see the
three property owners (Brana, Amenta, Mangieri) join in the construction
of drainage lines and run them into Chestnut Street. The Village would
take it down to Washington Street.
Mr. Turnquist stated that he felt the proposed construction planned
by Mr. Brana and Mr. Mangieri would enhance each other. Mr. Margotta
asked what would happen if one project does not go through - what would
happen then about the drainage problem.
Mr. Peirce asked Mr. Mangieri if his building would be rental or
co-op and when a decision would be made. Mr. Swaby commented that the
tax might be different on rental property than on co-op buildings.
A resident of Gesner Place, Mr. George Yosifides, brought up the
problem of traffic on Gesner Place and the danger to the children in the
neighborhood. He felt there would be too much traffic moving at too great
a speed, if egress and ingress are to remain as shown oh the building
plans. There were alternatives suggested to change the flow of traffic in
this area to alleviate the danger.
Mr. Galgano questioned Mr. Mangieri about what type of building is on
this property at present; he was informed that there are.wood frame
buildings and garages.
Mr. Ceconi was assured by Mr. Turnquist that there would be a storm
sewer at the driveway.
Mr. Amenta supported this building project and looks forward to a

�-2solution of the drainage problem.
Hearing adjourned at 9:45 P.M.

Hearing to consider an application requesting a variance by Cras
Real Estate (Mr. Mario Brana) began at 8:20 P.M. Mr. Arcate requested
the clerk to read the Public Notice and informed those in attendance
that they could address the Board.
Mr. Robert Turhquist, Architect, presented his drawings of the
proposed building and parking area Mr. Brana wishes to build. Mr. Turnquist gave some background on
how the project developed and how it would
;
fit in with the Master Plan of the Village of North Tarrytown. These
drawings showed one builcling: with three levels providing 5 dwelling units
with retail space on the ground floor and 14 parking spaces in front.
The three non-conforming frame buildings between Ross Hardware and Greene
County would be razed for this construction. The building would be
constructed in conformance with the architecture of the area, traditional
with brick exterior. The variance is being requested because the plans
for the proposed construction only provides 14 parking spaces and the Code
requires 18 spaces.
Mr. Arcate questioned whether future use of Mr. Brana1s business
would change; also, how would loading and unloading be handled.
Mr. Brana replied that he had no plans for any different use of his
space; he would have more room for a greater quantity of his manufactured
product, he will most likely use one section of the proposed new building.
Mr. Turnquist explained that loading and unloading would be done in the
parking area, away from Beekman Avenue. Parking would be for retail
customers during the daytime and for tenants at night.

Mr. Paul Amenta, Scarborough, spoke of the possibility of the
Zoning Board establishing a precedent by allowing Mr. Brana this variance
for less than the required number of parking spaces. Mr. Margotta
informed Mr. Amenta that when people cannot live with the Code, their only"
recourse is to apply for a variance and each request is considered individually.
The question was raised by Mr. Paolantonio about the number of
parking spaces in the lot east of the Post Office. Mr. Brana said that he
rents this property and there would be no change in the number of spaces
(approximately 20) available there.
In reply to a question from Mr. Ceconi, Mr. Brana stated that the
driveway will be 16' wide; the present three buildings require five parking spaces-this proposed construction will increase parking in the area by
£, ^L fo »

Mr. Swaby reminded the Board that Greene County is now operating under
a limited use variance and he felt this should be looked into before any
further variance is considered, Mr. Arcate suggested that the previous

�-2variance should be examined before a decision is made.
Mayor Philip Zegarelli spoke next. He spelled out many reasons why
the Board should consider the variance favorably: the need to upgrade
the area which would create an increase in the assessment roll; the
importance of tax incentives to those who develop and improve their
property; the need for additional housing, new construction meets building codes; new building will improve the Village's business district and
will encourage others to improve their property and keep their business
in the Village. The Mayor pointed out that government funds may be
available to those who wished to upgrade their property.
When questioned by Mr. Arcate, Mr. Brana replied that he had contacted
property owners within 200' of the property in question to inform them of
his application.
Mr. Armando Galella, Depeyster Street, spoke in favor of the Board
granting this variance because it would be a great improvement to the
area.
A resident of Chestnut Street, Mr. Frank Occhipinti, stated that
there is a water problem now arid he wanted to know which way surface
water will flow after construction. Mr. Turriquist explained;that three
properties, owned by Amenta, Brana, and Mangieri will take surface water
and run it out to Chestnut Street to link into the Washington Street
storm sewer for drainage. The Mayor pointed out that funding will be
available for the construction of a storm sewer on Chestnut Street.
Hearing closed at 9 P.M.
Respectfully submitted,

Marie;Timmings
Acting Clerk

�ZONING BOARD OF APPEALS
Business meeting opened at 10:00 P.M.

April 18, 1985
Mr. John Arcate, presided.

There was a motion made and seconded that the minutes from the previous
meeting be approved.
Discussion followed on Mr. Brana's request for a variance.
Mr. Martin Ruane felt that only being four parking spaces short of the
Code requirement should not hold back the Board from granting this
variance.
Mr. Robert Ponzini reminded the Board that the previous variance, given
to Mr. Br ana for his food manufacturing business, must be considered.
He also suggested that to make parking for trucks loading and unloading
more feasible, perhaps spaces should be marked off for mini-sized cars
in one section, thereby leaving more room for trucks. Mr. Arcate said he
was more amenable to providing short spaces where the space was otherwise
unusable but was not in favor of creating more spaces solely by reducing
the size.
The Board discussed the possibility of the Village putting in parking
meters, however, this would mean the Village would have to maintain the
parking area and the property would be tax exempt. It was felt that
tenants would park elsewhere rather than use the meters.
The Board considered what area would be used for 'unloading1.
Could deliveries be made in a space marked NO PARKING designated for
between 7 and 8:30 a.m.
Mr. Ponzini set forth a question regarding the solution to the water
drainage problem, if either Mr. Brana or Mr. Mangieri did not build.
would be required to provide drainage?

Who

Mr. Margotta suggested pitching the driveway toward Beekman Avenue. Mr.
Margotta must approve the site plan.
Again concerning loading and unloading, Mr. Ceconi suggested using the
west side of Greene County's present building. Is the driveway wide
enough? Is it owned by Mr. Brana? The Board expressed concern that there
be a loading zone.
Mr. Ponzini suggested that perhaps the parking could be beneath the
building; both Mr. Brana and Mr. Turnquist replied negatively.
The second part of the business meeting'concerned the Mangieri property.
There was a discussion on whether or not the Board can require that the
1800 ft. parking area (spaces 4 - 9). be'' consolidated and that two pieces
of property owned by different individuals be deeded as one parcel.
The questions were raised as to the safety of people using the Mews area
and whether this property will be rental or co-op.
Mr. Ponzini feels the community needs tHis type of building but it must be

�-2done right.
There was a lengthy discussion"about the possibility of rerouting
traffic through this area for more safety.
The Board decided that there should 1 be a site inspection of these two
properties before any decisions can be made. They will meet on
Saturday, May 4 at 9 a.m. at the Municipal Building. Reminder notices
will be sent. The meeting was adjourned until Thursday, May 9th at
8:00 P.M.
Business meeting ended at 10:50 P.M.
Respectfully submitted,

Marie Timmings
Acting Clerk

Present:

May 9, 1985

The business meeting of the Zoning Board of Appeals met on May 9, 1985
at 8:20 p.m. to make a decision on Mr. Brana's and Mr. Mangieri's
requests for variances (see minutes of April 18, 1985). Mr. Arcate
asked if there were any additions or corrections to the minutes of
April 18 meeting: there were none and the Board unanimously accepted
the minutes as written.
In addressing the purpose of the meeting, Mr. Arcate made the following
statement:
The Zoning Board of Appeals commends both applicants for the
development of such good quality proposals.for the use :of their
land. They clearly offer the Village far-sighted and longlasting
improvements to the commercial, residential, and general character
of the area. These actions are entirely in keeping with the
purpose and best intent of the Zoning Code. Beyond their individual proposals, the Zoning Board-of Appeals is presented with the
added enhancement of viewing two coordinated proposals which have
promise of serving as a model for, similar improvements on the part
of other property owners. The Zoning Board'of Appeals also notes
the responsiveness of the Village in taking the opportunity to
solve storm water problems by the construction of street drainage.
We seem to have before us the best of all conditions and the .
Zoning Board of Appeals is most anxious to ensure that all steps
within our collective ability to anticipate are realized so that
the full benefit of such desirable improvements are brought about
in the most ideal way.
It would be disappointing if after such attractive plans are implemented, there remained an unresolved problem.
With these views in mind and a desire to carry forward the*purpose
of the Code and progress for the Village, the Zoning * Board of
Appeals did not attempt an immediate decision, following the April
18 hearing, but instead met on May 4 and inspected both sites. We
meet now in an effort to reach a decision. We recognize that there
are two decisions before us but that due to the coordinated planning and the common problem of storm water drainage, we need to
discuss both applications prior to deciding on either.
The members of the Board have indicated several items of specific
interest:
a) Storm water drainage
b) Off-street loading/unloading

�c) Flow of vehicular traffic
d) Applicants' control of all involved land parcels
e) Definitive Village plans for street drainage improvements.
The Board members expressed concern regarding storm water drainage.
After some discussion it was agreed that the parties involved must
submit evidence of their stated intent to construct adequate storm water
drainage and submit their plans to the Building Inspector and the Village
Engineer for their approval before starting work. Mr Margotta said it
would be helpful to him if the Village specified the plans for new and
increased storm sewers before the anticipated construction begins. Mr.
Arcate commented that, based on the May 9th letter from Mayor Zegarelli
(copy attached), it seemed reasonable that the Village would follow
through and do the necessary work on the sewer system in a timely
fashion.
Referring to the variance requested by Mr.Brana, it was noted that the
1956 variance remains in effect. After some discussion by the Board,.it
was agreed that it will be necessary for Mr. Brana to provide off-street
parking for loading and unloading within the parking area shown on the
site plan.
Referring to the flow of vehicular traffic through Mr. Mangieri's
property, several ideas were expressed which differed from the plan for
parking and traffic flow according to the site plan.
After some discussion, it was decided that the flow of traffic and the
parking as shown on the site plan is probably the best possible plan
for this property. It was recognized that if, after experience it was
deemed necessary to change the flow it could be done so without hardship.
In regard to the Brana variance, Mr. Martin Ruane made a motion to grant
the variance based on the following contingent requirements:
a) Building would proceed according to site plans submitted and ^.
storm drainage improvement plans must be submitted for approval
of the Building Inspector and the Village Engineer before start
of work.
b) Space to be allocated for loading and unloading on property.
c) 1956 variance to remain in effect.
,.
d) That the applicant controls all of the parcels of land involved
and all are commited to the proposed use and site plan.
Motion seconded by Mr. Paolantonio.
Mr. Swaby made the motion that the Board grant approval of Mr. Mangieri's
variance contingent upon the following requirements:
a) Front yardsetback to be 10' father than 20'
b) Common control of all parcels of land committed to this proposal
and site plan.
.
. c) Site plan to remain as originally submitted.
d) Approval of drainage plans prior to start of work.
e) No change in traffic flow or parking from site plan.
Motion was seconded and approved unanimously.
Meeting adjourned at 9:30 on a motion by Mr. Ruane, seconded by Mr.
Paolantoiiio.
.--- r-- -•
.-'••.":....

�-3Both variances are granted in accordance with the purpose and
provisions of the Zoning Code including paragraphs 62-2 and 62-40C.
The board also took notice that throughout these hearings and meetings
it enjoyed the counsel of Mr. Ponzihi in regard to the application of
Mr. Brana and the counsel of Mr. Peirce in regard to the application
of Mr. Mangieri.
Respectfully submitted,

Dear John:
This letter is provided as further substantiation of the Village's
willingness and intention to provide for new and increased storm sewer
construction for the entire length of Chestnut Street from Broadway (Route 9)
to North Washington Street. This decision is in keeping with our desire not
only to provide relief to the present residents and owners of the are but also
to provide an incentive for the redevelopment of the neighborhood.
While we are fully prepared to bond for this capital expenditure, we
have been notified that monies have been awarded to tie Village as part of our
Urban County Block Grant request for this'specific use and design. In addition,
we have discussed this specific sitntation and simi 1 ar conditions in North
Tarrytown with the Westchester County Deparrmpnt of Planning in our desire to
help correct similar situations arid provide help in potential need and/or
redevelopment. Our requests will be undertaken on a case by case basis with
their assurance that earmarked funds are avail able.
I hope this letter provides any further information needed for the
deliberations that the North Tarrytown Zoning Board of Appeals is undertaking.
Please feel free to contact me at your convenience if there is a desire for
additional information.
With warm regards,

North Tarrytown, N.Y.
June 27, 1985
Present:

John Areate, Chairman
Aldo Cecorii
Frank Paolaritonio
Martin Ruane
Edward Swaby
Robert Ponzini, Attorney
James Margotta, Building Inspector

The Zoning Board of Appeals-of North Tarrytown held a public hearing
on June 27, 1985, to consider two applications for appeals from the
Building Inspector decisions to deny building permits.
Chairman Arcate called the hearing to order at 8:10 P.M. and asked the
clerk to read the first public notice to all present for the Board to
consider.
Rafaelo and Elda Piscopiello, of 69 College Avenue, North Tarrytown,
applied for an appeal from the Building Inspector's decision in denying
them a building permit for a one car garage on their property located at
69 College Avenue, in that the garage would violate the rear yard requirement of 5 feet in an R5 district.
Chairman Arcate asked if anyone present wished to address the Board.
Mr. and Mrs. Piscopiello's daughter spoke on her parent's behalf. She
explained to Board members that a shed had always been on the property
since Mr. &amp; Mrs. Piscopiello purchased the property. Mr. Piscopiello, she
explained, was not aware that a building permit was needed to replace a
former structure (the shed) when he began to construct a new garage oh the
site. Mr. Margotta informed;them that a building permit was needed, and
that side and rear yard requirements were being violated.
Chairman Arcate asked if Mr. &amp; Mrs. Piscppiello hacl advised all
neigbors within 200 ft. of their property oftonight's hearing. , The .
daughter said they had been so advised, and gave all"certified mail receipts
to the clerk, noting that one letter had not been claimed, which was also
submitted.
Attorney Robert Ponzini asked if the new building would be the same
size as the former storage shed, arid if there is.a driveway. The
Piscopiello's daughter said the new garage is.to be somewhat larger, measuring
18' wide by 20' deep. She said an existing driveway does exist to the
street.
Mr. Swaby asked how high a s trueture the garage would be.
noted that the garage would be one story.

It was

Building Inspector Margotta stated that zoning requirements in this
area call for a 10 feet from the sidelines, and for a 25 foot rear yeard
setback.
Chairman Arcate asked Mr. Margotta if a need for a retaining wall

�-2exists, to which Mr. Margotta replied in the negative. Chairman Arcate
also asked if the proposed garage would be next to the neighbor's garage
(on the east side), and would the proposed garage face the south side? Mr.
Margotta answered in the affirmative to both questions.
Mr. Swaby asked if.the proposed garage could possibly be moved out
from the east corner of the rear property, towards the west, and still be
easily accessible.
Mr. Margotta responded that if the garage were moved towards the west,
the garage would be very close to the house.
Mr. Ruane mentioned that the property to the west is a 2-3 family
house, a building once owned by the Tarrytowns newspaper.
Chairman Arcate s'aicl he felt two abutting garages would be better
esthetically vs. having a 10' piece of land separating the two garages.
Chairman Arcate asked if there were any further questions for the
Board. There being none, he asked that the Board proceed with the second
hearing.
The clerk read the public notice to all present.
The second hearing was an appeal from a decision of the Building
Inspector in denying a bulding permit for.the renovation and alteration
of an accessory building on property owned by August in Triana-, located at
144 Beekman Avenue, North Tarrytown, in that .said:accessory building would
violate a zoning ordinance of the village that states there can be no- more
than one principle residential building on any one lot.
Attorney Ponzini told all present that he had once represented Mr.
Triana, and if the Board; members felt this might cause any conflict of .
interest, Mr. Ponzini would not involve^himself in this hearing. Chairman
Arcate and all Board members told Mr. Ponzini this would not be a problem,
and that he need not remove himself from Mr. Triana's hearing.
Mr. John J. Hughes, of 49 Beekman Avenue, North Tarrytown; addressed
the Board, identifying himself as Mr. Triana's lawyer. He presented the
clerk with certified mail receipts, showing that all property, owners within
200 feet of Mr. Triana' s property had been advised of tonight's hearing.
He then gave all Board members copies of=the survey showing Mr. Triana's
property and its layout.
Mr. Hughes said the property, has a main"house that can be a residence
for one, two or three families, and an accessory building. Mr. Triana, he
explained, began repairs and renovations on the accessory building. At
present, two families live in the main residence.
Mr. Triana's accessory building is a garage, yet this garage is three
times larger than other garages in the area. It measures 45 feet x 25 feet
in size, and can hold three cars and still have a storage space area.
This garage, said Mr. Hughes, is on;land tliat is easily accessible,
especially so for the elderly and/or those who are disabled. The conversion

�of the garage in living quarters would have all rooms on one floor. Mr.
Hughes asked the Board for a conditional certificate of occupancy for the
newly converted building. He submitted pictures to show the interior of
the converted building.
Mr. Hughes said that Mr. Joel Levy, Director of Special Needs and
Housing from the county's Department of Social Services, has helped Mr.
Hughes with North Tarrytown's need for the elderly, sick and/or disabled.
Mr. Hughes asked the Board for a permit that would bind Mr. Triana or
any future owner to use the converted accessory building on the property ,
for such people as the:elderly, sick and/or handicapped. Mr. Hughes noted
the construction work Mr. Triana has done to convert the garage into living
quarters is of top quality. Without a certificate of occupancy,, this
renovated garage cannot be used. The structure could hold a family instead
of cars. Mr. Hughes said Mr. Triana is willing to rent the hew apartments
at a minimal rate, so that the elderly and/or handicapped could afford the
rent. Such plans, said Mr. Hughes, are not detrimental to anyone in any
way. He noted that Mr. Triana would be willing to pay increase taxes.
Mr. Joel Levy, Director of Special Needs and Housing with the Department of Social Services, addressed the Board. He noted that Westchester's
population is rapidly increasing of those of 65 years of age and older.
Along with the increase of the elderly, lies the problem of available
housing that has diminished considerably, and is of great concern to the
County.
Affordable rental property for these people is very hard to find, said
Mr. Levy. "Affordable", he noted, is, the key word, as many of the elderly
and disabled cannot meet this affordability with today's rents. The need
for low cost housing for such peoplef is a great one, and Mr. Levy asked the
Board to please consider Mr. Triana s application. He noted that the
structure is safe, easily accessible, and would be a great help to an
elderly couple, or a disabled person.
Chairman Arcate asked if anyone else present
Board.

wished to address the

Mr. Joseph Ruscigno, of 273 North Washington Street, North Tarrytown,
asked if this new building would be used to house the mentally retarded.
Mr. Hughes said plans for the building would hold two individuals at
the most, and that the Board can restrict in any way it wants as to who
would be allowed to live there. Mr. Hughes asked for the Board's help in
finding a way to see this property used.
Mr. Hughes explained that this hearing is solely for^the construction
of the interior of an existing structure. At present, only*one of the •; ._]
original four bays is being used as a garage, with the rest of the building
blocked off for the residence.
Chairman Arcate asked what kind and what rooms the proposed building
would have. Mr. Hughes said there would be a Hallway, a hot water system,
a bathroom, bedroom (10' x 12'), and eating area (10V x 13') and a kitchen.

�-4Mr. Hughes said parking would be no problem, as the driveway is 30 feet
long, and that no street parking would be needed.
Mr. Swaby asked if there were any plans to construct a second story
on the converted structure. Mr. Hughes said there were no such plans.
Mr. Ruane asked if the structure would have any problems as far as
water and sewage are concerned. Mr. Margotta said no, that the lines
could be hooked up to the present system in the house.
Mr. Ponzini said conditions could be made by the Board that the
converted garage be rented to a local senior citizen. Mr. Hughes said
he and his client would be willing to let it be rented only to local
residents.
Mr. Margotta noted that the construction began illegally. Mr. Triaria,
he said, wants to make a proposal to the Board rather than tear down the
new structure.
Mr. Hughes said they had come in good faith arid asked the Board to
please consider their proposal, even if on a trial basis. The building
would be dedicated for use by the elderly or handicapped.
Mr. Ruane asked if this case should go to the Planning Board instead.
Mr. Ponzini said no, as this is not a site plan being sought, but the use
of an existing structure.
Chairman Arcate asked if anyone else wished to address the Board:
There being none, the Board closed the hearing, and proceeded with the
business meeting.
BUSINESS MEETING
The Board members first discussed the request of Mr. &amp; Mrs. Piscopiello for an appeal from the 10 foot sideyard and 25' rear yard setback
requirement for their new garage.
Chairman Arcate noted that the house doesn't appear to:Kave a 10i"foot'"
sideyard now. Mr. Ruane asked how much isithe structure presently off the
property lines? Mr. Margotta said only a few feet.
Chairman Arcate said 'he would rather have,two garages close together
in that they would look better. Mr, Margotta noted '• that the Piscopiellos
have improved their house greatly over the years, and that their.improve- .
ments are good for the neighborhood.
Mr. Swaby said he didn't want to impose a. Hardship, but that-he
doesn't want this to seta precedent; so that anyone who starts building
without a permit "can just come to the Zoning Board arid expect a4variance
to be granted".
•
The Board"recognized"tHat this garage;will be in the same relative
location as others in the immediate neighborhood, will provide added off
street parking and is the best use of the available land.

�-5-

Mr. Ruane made a motion that the Zoning Board grant the variance and
allow Mr. &amp; Mr. Piscopiello to continue the construction of their one
car garage in accordance with code provisions 62-2 and 62-40C.
The vote was unanimously in favor.
The Board proceeded to consider Mr. Triana's appeal to convert an
accessory building into a residence.
Mr. Levy noted that many accessory buildings in the County have been
converted into living quarters. Some were two car garages with a second
story. This would not be a "dumping ground" for^the indigent or the
mentally ill. Anyone could live in this apartment. He noted it would not
compound any present problems. Rent would be for no more than $300.00, and
a local village resident would easily apply.
Chairman Arcate stated there would be a conditional provision saying
this structure would be for the use of local residents.
Mr. Margotta noted that the fireproof construction is of good quality,
and the workmanship is better than most places in the area.
Mr. Paolantonio asked how does the Board get around having two
residences on one lot? Chairman Arcate said, by granting a variance. The
lot, 50 feet x 150 feet, allows for three families. One purpose of the code
is to help control population density. The Board could require that only
two families could be allowed to live in the main house, if one family is
allowed in the accessory building.
Mr. Ponzini noted that the third family could otherwise be in the
main building.
. .
Mr. Ruane said if all 5,500 sq. ft. on Mr. Triana's property can be
used, a decision could be reached tonight.
Chairman Arcate said he felt the Board should limit the use of living
quarters on Mr. Triana's property to a maximum of three families. Another
condition should be that * the new,structure be for use;only by the elderly
(those 62 years of age or more) and/or thV disabled (those confined, or
need a device, or use walkers, for example).
Attorney Ponzini said a one year variance that could be granted and
reviewed annually would be another possibility.
Mr. Mario Belanich, 153 North Washington Street, North Tarfytowh, asked
the Board what happens to the three families as far as parking is concerned,
since the conversion of the garage meant a loss of three'garage spaces. Mr.
Hughes said that would be of no problem to the neighborhood, as the property
grounds would still provide ample parking space.
Chairman Arcate said that the conversion of the garage had been done

�without a change in the building's structure, nor would there be a change
in the number of families allowed to live on the lot (three)..
Mr. Ceconi said he wanted certain conditional agreements written into
the variance. Mr. Ruane concurred.
Attorney Porizirii suggested the following conditions to be included
with the granting of the variance:
1) This would be a temporary conditional variance, to be renewed
every two years by an application for renewal to the Zoning Board.
2) That the dwelling be leased to a senior citizeri(s) (62 years
of age or older), and /or to a disabled person, through the proper county
agency.

The Zoning Board of Appeals of North Tarrytown held a public hearing
on July 18, 1985, to consider the application for a variance regarding the
property owned by Olive Degina, 282 North Washington Street.
Chairman Arcate called the hearing to order at 8:00 P.M. and asked the
Clerk to read the first public notice to all present for the Board to
consider.
Mr. Arthur A. Litt, Attorney for Contract Vendee, Leonard Losier and
Olive Degina, owner, explained the reasons for their request for a
variance to permit the use of a building at 282 North Washington Street as
a five-dwelling residence.
The property in question belonged to the Foley family years ago and
the rear building (proposed five-dwelling residence) was the dairy. Mr.
Litt stated that there is sufficient square footage of property to legally
allow six dwelling units and applicant is only proposing five units. He
also stated that there will be sufficient space for parking and the applicant
wishes to be granted a variance to put this building to legal.use. The
building in question is not the principle structure and is a noh-conforming
structure built before 1964. Mr. Litt quoted from the Village Code (62.23)
and stated that according to the ordinance, applicant should be allowed to
use this building as he wishes: The building will not be extended in any
way and there will be no change in the building.
Mr. Margotta called attention to his memo to,Mr.:Losier (copy attached)
setting forth reasons (Code 62.7C) for'refusing * application for a variance;
Mr. Margotta also distributed copies of the survey of property to members of
the Board.
Mr. Litt stated further that he felt the,key word is, 'hereafter', this
should only apply to a new building, not one that has been on the property for
years. Mr. Litt asked the Board to make a ruling that the building is nonconforming and that applicant be allowed to use his property for dwelling
units. He stated that the building is unique and can only be used for
dwelling units.
Mr. Michael Frascati, 250 Kelbourne Avenue, representing Mr4&gt;. J. Beni of
290 North Washington Street, stated ;that7this area has previously beeii'zoned
for 'moderate density' and, if the Board grants this variance and issues a .
building permit, the long-range affects of this decision*could be devastating
to the Village of North Tarrytown. It could He a precedent-setting decisioh°
and, therefore, a 'moderate density' area would become a 'high density' area

�-2which would create parking and traffic problems. Village Code 62. 7C states,
"... only one principle residential building and its accessory buildings
shall hereafter be erected on any one lot". He argued that only a prime
residence can be altered, not an additional building on property.
There were many objections to granting this variance heard from
residents of the area:
Mr. D. Caetano agreed wholeheartedly with Mr. Frascati as did Mr.
J. DiFelice, who stated that to put five dwelling units in the building in
question would create what he called, "alley houses". Mr. C. Occhipinti
said that the bulding in question overhangs his property which creates a
drainage problem and the building is too close to the property line. Mr.
Sean Tracy also objected to the Board granting a variance because he agreed
that it would cause the area to become one of 'high density' and he is
concerned that the amount of traffie, parking problems, and number of people
would become unbearable. Mr. James McStay, 33 Lawrence Avenue, said his
property is directly behind subject property and he feels that with dwelling
units in this building there would be an invasion of his privacy.
Mr. Litt advised the residents that he appreciated their statements and
suggested that the Board of Trustees change the zoning regulations.
Mr. S. Labruzzo, 300 North Washington Street questioned whether or not
every house on North Washington Street could be made into a six-family
dwelling. Mr. Margotta advised that New York State Code on multi-family
dwellings allows 3 to 4 families in one house in this zone. Mr. Litt also
advised that the Zoning Ordinance allows an owner to have three dwelling
units in a lot of 5,000 sq. ft. The lot in question has 10,000 sq. ft. and
therefore he stated that it should be possible to have six dwelling units
there.
Mr. Swaby requested the Attorney's opinion on this situation arid asked
if a non-conforming building can be put to use again. He was advised that
it can be if it is not in use for twelve consecutive months. Mr. Peirce
said that the structure was non-conforming before 1964, useage was nonconforming in 1964, and the proposed use will not be non-conforming.
Mr. DiFelice reminded the Board that the owner was turned down years ago
when a request was made for a variance.
Mr. Arcate advised that the differences of interpretation are drawn from
Code 62.7C. Mr. Litt said, 1) that section does not apply, i.e., "hereafter
erected", 2) regardless of Ordinance, Mr. Litt stated that he made a case for
a variance from that Ordinance. On a question from Mr. Ceconi, he was informed by Mr. Litt that Mrs. Degina has owned this property for 21 years.
Mr. Litt also stated that if there are anyiproblems,that*can be taken care of
in regarding to construction, the owner would be happy to do the alterations.
Mr. Caetano questioned whether there is. sufficient space for fire
apparatus entering and exiting the property.
Hearing closed at 8:55 P.M.
•

�-3BUSINESS MEETING
%

Mr.Swaby made a motion1that a decision be made tonight after the
Board conducts their business meeting; motion seconded by Mr. Ceconi. Mr.
Arcate said the Board should consider 62.7B also.
Mr. Litt argued that sectiori(62-7C),?whichprohibits the existence of
more than one principal residential building on any one lot, was not
controlling for purposes;of considering this application since, it was not
the intention of the applicant to "hereafter" erect a building; as set forth
in sub-division B of that same section. However, a careful review of the
entire sub-division B reveals that it further provided, to wit:
... (nor shall any) building or portion of a building be used
... unless in conformity with all regulations herein specified.
(emphasis added)
Accordingly, since the applicant does intend to modify the use of the
accessory structure to that of a second principal residence, he ..is now
governedby the provisions(of 62-7B. Furthermore, since the intended use is
not in conformity with 62-7C.the application must be denied. It is noted
that there was a failure of proof by the applicant with respect to any
allegation of hardship or practical difficulties with the property and its
structures as they presently exist.

•

Mr. Swaby does not feel a variance should'be given and Mr. Ceconi
agreed. After the Board's discussion, Mr. Ceconi.made a motion to deny the
request for a variance which was seconded by Mr: Paolantoriio. Oh the
question: Is the Board satisfied that the"application would be inconsistent
with 62.7B and C; Code 62.2A should be considered. Mr. Arcate polled the
Board and their vote was 4-0 not to grant variance based on Code 62.7B,
62.2, and 62.40C.
Mr. Arc ate * added that the Zoning Board;should draw the a ttention of
the Planning Board to - North Washing tori'.-' Street (as to whether the R5 zoning 1 is
appropriate and suggest to them that u^-zoning might be in order to maintain
the present character of this portion of North Tarrytown.

The Zoning Board met at 9:10 p.m. to consider the application for
variance by the Tarrytown Realty Corp. and Jandrea Realty Corp.
Mrs. K. Lingardo, Pine Close, representing the Webber Park Assoc,
was the first to speak. Mrs. Lingardo read a statement (attached), signed
by herself as President of the Association and by Grace Buonanno, Vice
President; she also presented several pages of signatures on a petition in
strong opposition to the granting of any change in the present variance or
allowing further expansion of car dealerships in the Webber Park area.
In response to several questions from Mrs . Lingardo, Mr. John
Pappalardo, Attorney representing Mr. George Kahn, explained the meaning
of "contract vendee" and further explained that Tarrytown Realty Corp. is
no longer involved and application should be amended to read George Kahn,
owner. Mrs. Lingardo was also informed that the Jandrea Realty Corp. is
a registered corporation in the State of New York.
Several concerns of Webber Park residents were,voiced by Mrs. Lingardo:
Where will employees of Tappan Motors park,,during work hours? 'k What parking
is allocated to the Animal Hospital? Why does Tappan Motors want this
property? Has an environmental study been made? Mr. Arcate stated that
the only questions to be considered is whether or not the owner may proceed
with the proposed 10 foot front yard and the type of use for which he is
applying.
Mr. Pappalardo made a statement to the Board regarding the proposed use
of this property by George Kahn and will present to the Board a report on
environmental impact.
Application for variance is being made for a single variance which
stems from his client's wish to build a new building which would be in
violation to the set-back requirements. Applicant also wishes clarification
on two issues: Does a service/repair station fall into the category of a ..
gas station and could it be construed to be an auto sales (62.20) place which
would be affected by the 300' limitation?

0

The building on property .presently will be torn down. Applicant is
requesting a variance of the 20' set-back; all other requirements will be
met. A 10' set-back would allow parking in the rear and space for auto
repair and would also bring building in line with others on the block.
There were several questions directed to Mr. Pappalardo regarding

.. &lt;^&gt;*-,^-;rA;&gt;jvArv&lt;y. »5T^««- ^iii^^AaEfeiKaftss^iasaSaifeSSfi^S

T,&gt;J

�-2whether or not the property would be used as a service center, if gasoline
would be sold, if this would be a sales place. He informed the Board that
there will be no gasoline sold on the property.
%

Mrs. Lirigardo further stated that the Webber Park Association is
concerned about additional traffic through the Park and the added noise
and fumes. She also asked if the Zoning Board has the power to withdraw a
decision on a variance if terms and conditions are found to be untrue. Mr.
Arcate informed her that parties must bring an appeal before the Board.
Mr. Patrick Munroe, 63 New Broadway, urged the Board to do what it can
to deny variance and keep proposed use of this property from coming into
being. Mr. Munroe pointed out that he had walked the area between 7 and
8 p.m. and found 238 cars parked along Rt. 9 with the potential of 337 cars.
He urged the Board to block this variance.
Mrs. H. Napolitano, 122 Van Tassel Avenue, spoke of the lack of sidewalks on Gordon Avenue, her concern about cars parked on the sidewalk on
the west side of New Broadway, and the fact that the auto dealer conducts
business in the street thus causing traffic and pedestrian hazards.
Mr. Frank Hrotko, Gordon Avenue, advised the Board that he feels the
present Tappan Motors repair shop is a "dump" and that the new site will
look the same in a few months. He also stressed the fact that there is
insufficient parking space now on Gordon Avenue.
Mr. Richard Green, 65 New Broadway, wanted to know how many parking
spaces would be available at this site. He was told there would be 32
spaces outside and 16 spaces indoors; (only 25 spaces are required). He
said that residents are concerned about where employees will park.
Eileen Meade, 38 Gordon Avenue, expressed her concern over the lack
of sufficient parking space on Gordon Avenue arid the danger of additional
demand on available space as well as possible test driving on Gordon and
nearby streets.
Mrs. Beatrice Taxter, Holland Avenue, wished to know what kind of
protection she would have for her property. Mr. Pappalardo assured her
that there would be plantings at the rear of the property and the hill
would be untouched. He explained that there was no plan for construction
on the hill and only the installation of a fence.
Mrs. Gerry Green, 65 New Broadway, wished to know if there would be
any new employees hired by Tappan Motors and whether their employees would
be requested to park in a specific place. Mr. Kahn informed her that he
could not require his employees to park in a special space and could not
guarantee that they would not park on Village roads. He stated that no new
employees will be hired for the new facility. Mr. Pappalardo said that
employees will park off the streets if variance is granted; this offered
as a condition.
Mr. C. Caposella, 100 Rice Avenue, expressed His concern for the
children in the neighborhood with heavy traffic on narrow roads.
$

Mr. Mario DiFelice, Gory Brook Road, advised that there have been

'riji#* -?-£•-£?» £?-

--5*r

: ^^--i^^l^^i^^i^KsE-^ii^^

�many meetings with Tappan Motors and at no time was there ever a resolution
regarding parking. He stated that apporximately 33 cars park on New
Broadway every day and there is no guarantee where employees will park.
Mr. E. Fiorella, 48 Gordon Avenue, pointed out the fact that there is
only one-side-of-the-street parking on Gordon Ave. now and sometimes cars
park illegally on the other side and the curve of the road makes for poor
visibility. He questioned if Mr. Kahh plans to develop the property next
to Mr. E. Buonanno.
Mr. John Malandrino, 104 Gordon Avenue, voiced his opinion that no
offices should be allowed on the third floor of the proposed building.
Mr. E. Solari,47 New Broadway, stated that&gt;there has been nothing
but trouble from Tappah Motors because they show no concern about pedestrians
or vehicular traffic and are a constant obstruction to both.
Mr. &amp; Mrs. V. Buonanno, Van Tassel Avenue, expressed their lack of
trust in George Kahn and pointed out that they feel he has created unsafe
conditions on our streets. Mr. Buonanno stated that he feels the Board
cannot review this application unto itself; there are associated impactstwo repair shops back to back and we should look into the traffic pattern
that will be created and find out how these proposed facilities will be
used and where his employees will park.
Mr. Frank Rey, Holland Avenue, pointed out that he felt no one in
attendance at this hearing was in favor of granting this variance.
Hearing closed at 10:30.
BUSINESS MEETING
Mr. Arcate set forth some questions to be considered:
Applicant suggests the building would be used for repair/service
center, therefore, 62.19 and 62.20 are of interest. Would repair/
service center be solely for the preparation of cars that were
used or new cars being prepared for sale?
How will we see the difference?
Mr. Kahn advises that the purpose of this new property is only to
service customers cars not to prepare new cars.
Mr. Swaby noted that while a 20 foot setback would meet the Code, there
will be five fewer parking spaces in rear.
Mr. Kahn stated that the office space will also be used for bookkeeping
and will contain computers for his business. He advised Mr. Swaby that there
will not be any body work done in the building.
Mr. Ceconi suggested that we should stay with the 20' setback because
he feels Route 9 will be widened in the future; Mr. Swaby agreed.
Mr. Paolantonio made a motion to deny application for variance^with 10'

�-4setback; Mr. Swaby seconded the motion.
%

Mr. Arc ate stated that the granting of the variance is on the condition
that the building will not be used for preparation of cars for sale, either
new or used; as Code requirements, 62.19 and 62.20 would apply. Also, the
variance requires that the proposed building not qualify as gas/service
station in that no gasoline or other automobile fuel may be stored or
dispensed from this property.
All Board members present voted in favor of denying the variance for
the 10' setback and the conditions pertaining to Code sections 62.19 and
62.20.
It appears that beyond collateral issues raised by the applicant,
requiring it to conform with the present setback of 20 feet will present
neither hardship nor practical difficulties with the intended use. Since
no proof was offered to establish hardship or practical difficulties, in
the absence of any compelling reason to permit a 10 foot setback, the,
application is denied. However, it is clear from a reading of sections
62-19 and 62.20, that under a strict construction of those provisions
contained therein, the business contemplated by the applicant is.governed
by neither section. The board decides that the applicant's business is
neither that of a gasoline service station or a business engaged in the
sale of new or used automobiles.
Meeting adjourned at 11:30 P.M.
Respectfully, submitted,

Marie Timmings

The Zoning Board met at 8:10 PM to reconvene arid continue the
business of the November 7, 1985 meeting concerning the matter of
the Mobil Oil Corporation appeal.
Mr. John J. Hughes (Lawyer for Mobil Oil) addressed the Board
stating that his client would remove the free standing sign at the
curb on Broadway and have the new sign in its place. On the canopy
the word MOBIL will be in five 16 inch high letters. (Picture of
sign shown).
Mr. Ruane asked how many such signs there would be.
Mr. Hughes answered that there will be one sign which will face
north and one will face south depending on the visability.
Mr. Arcate asked what will be the square foot area of all signs
at the station.
Mr. Hughes stated that the signs on the canopy will be 12 square
feet and the total will be less than the specifications of the code.
Mr. Ceconi asked that the footage requirement as stated in the
code book be read. (Mr. Arcate read para.62-15E).
Mr. Ceconi made a motion to accept the prints of the applicants
architect subject to the agreed to compliance with paragraph 62-15E
of the code regarding signs. Motion was seconded by Mr. Ruane.
Upon unanimous approval of the Board the applicants request for
variance and relief from denial of the permit by the Building1
Inspector was granted in accordance with the code provisions of
paragraphs 62-2 arid 62-40C and the findings of the fact from the
Hearing and Meeting of November 7.
Meeting was adjourned at 8:40 PM.

Respectfully submitted,

The Zoning Board of Appeals met on November 7, to consider the appeal
of Mr. George Kuntz to extend a fence on property which is mapped as a
street. Mr. Arcate welcomed all present and the Clerk read the Public
Notice.
Mr. George Kuntz spoke in his own behalf (copy of his;statements
attached to file) explaining the reason for the need of a fence on his
property. He also presented the Board with several photographs and
written notice of approval from three neighbors. Mr. Kuntz advised the
Board that he had notified all residents within 200 ft. of his property
of his intent. However, he did not present postal receipts to the Clerk
but gave a list of names to Mr. Margotta. Mr. Swaby made it known that
this lack of proof would not be considered a precedent.
Mr. Thomas Brown of 1544 Bellewood Avenue said that he had no objection
to the fence in Mr. Kuntz yard nor did Mr. P. Shaefer of 124 Hunter
Avenue who said that the fence is preferable to not having one there at all.
Mr. Margotta explained that the Village Code stipulated what can and
cannot be fenced in. He pointed out that the Code allows the storage of a
boat in the rear yard. Mr. Margotta had previously spoken to Mr. Kuntz and
advised him to clean up the area. Mr. Kuntz complied and Mr. Shaefer said
he feels the yard looks much neater now. Mr. Arcate told Mr. Kuntz that he
and another Board member had inspected his property.
The next speaker was Mr. Davis Zimmerman, 360 S. Broadway, Tarry town,
who represents Mr. Kennedy, owner of property next to Mr. Kuntz on
Bellewood Avenue. Mr. Zimmerman pointed out that the application to build
a house on the property was granted by the Planning Board in March, 1985.
He also mentioned that the Building Inspector had issued a notice of
violation to Mr. Kuntz regarding the fenced in area on the paper street
right-of-way. Photographs were presented showing equipment stored on the
right-of-way behind Mr. Kennedy's property and two trucks parked on the
right-of-way beside Mr. Kuhtz' house. Mr. Zimmerman presented a 1915 map,
(showing 50' of land designated as Philipse Avenue) to the Board. He
questioned whether Mr. Kuntz owns this paper street or if anyone else can
use it? He also feels the property is unsightly and doubts if the Board
has jurisdiction to approve Mr. Kuntz request.
Mr. Swaby questioned whether or not it is a fact that Mr. Kuntz owns
the paper street property.
The Board questioned Mr. Kurtz as to whether or not he had a deed to
this property (paper street) and if he had it surveyed. Mr. Kuiitz replied,
"Yes" to both questions.

�-2Mr. Margotta stated that the paper street is supposed to be left open,
free and clear, unencumbered, with no storage and no fence. Mr. Ponzini
said that this determination is correct, however, Mr. Kuntz disagreed.
Mr. Zimmerman pointed out that the fence is on the paper street, and
whatever is stored behind the fence, as well as two trucks.
Mrs. Olga Blumenfeld, 11 Highland Avenue, spoke to the Board and said
that she is in agreement with the Building Inspector and feels that this
property should be preserved as originally planned.
Mr. T. Brown said that he purchased his home in 1977 and that when it
was built in 1960, part of the structure was on the paper street. Mr.
Arcate pointed out to him that before 1963 there were no zoning regulations
and this situation could be a prevailing non-conformity.
Hearing was closed at 8:50 p.m.
After a short recess the Board held a business meeting and resumed
discussion on Mr. Kuntz request.
Mr. Swaby and Mr. Paolantonio agree that the paper street is available
to the Village and anything put on it is an encroachment. They also agree
this property is now unsightly and should be cleared.
Mr. Swaby and Mr. Arcate expressed the view that encroachment on this
paper street would hamper the Village if they wished to use this property.
Mr. Ponzini advised that there are two problems, 1) storage sheds
appear as buildings and must comply with the Code and, 2) the fence appears
to be a structure itself used for storage.
Mr. Ruane stated that Mr. Kuntz is blocking the right-of-way with his
fence and material.
Mr. Paolantonio made a motion to deny Mr. Kuntz' request and to confirm
the action of the Building Inspector based on Code 62-2. The two storage
sheds are on the property line and therefore violate side yard requirements.
Boat storage is only permitted in the rear yard. Residential use does not
permit storage. The totally enclosed fence constitutes a structure which
violates the code in both type of use and location on the site. In addition
to these code violations the'use of the right-of-way for material, trucks
and a boat constituted an encumberance on the paper street. The paper
street now contains a nonconforming structure. Therefore the Board decided
that the paper street should not be encroached upon arid that it is a threat
to use by the Village. Motion was seconded by Mr. Ruane; all Board members
voted in favor of the motion.
The Board gave Mr. Kuntz a time limit of 60 days to clear the right-ofway property. The Board informed him that if he made every effort to meet
this schedule but needed additional time he could request an extension.
Respectfully submitted,

Marie Tiramings, acting clerk

The Zoning Board of Appeals met on November 7 to consider the
application of Vieira's Mobil Service Station for permission to install
new fibreglass fuel tanks and construct a canopy over the gasoline pumps.
Mr. Arcate welcomed those present and the Clerk read the Public Notice.
Mr. John Hughes, counsel for Mobil Oil Corp/Vieira1s Service Station,
introduced Mr. James Moran, Senior Real Estate representative from Mobil
Oil Corp. and Mr. Richard Ciccotelli, Project Engineer for Mobil. Mr.
Hughes also presented to the Clerk, seventeen postal receipts indicating
that residents within 200 feet of Sec. 16, Block 13, Lot 3 were notified
of applicant's intent.
Mr. Hughes explained what changes were to be made by Mobil/Vieira
if this application is granted: the addition of new fibreglass gasoline
tanks and the construction of a canopy over the service pumps. He proceeded to innumerate several reasons for these changes; 1) the construction
will be compatible with the surrounding architecture, 2) there will be
improved lighting and improved appearance with state-of-the-art equipment,
3) equipment needed to operate service station will be concealed, 4) there
will be no advertising oh the canopy and no price information, 5) the canopy
will provide nrotection from the weather to attendants and customers.
The Board inspected several photographs which Mr. Hughes presented
showing the station as it is at this time and a similar station which has
a canopy over the service pumps. The applicant also received an opinion
from ALAN GOLDBERG/ELIOT NOYES ASSOCIATES, ARCHITECTS, indicating that the
flat deck canopy would be an improvement.
In reply to many questions regarding the fibreglass fuel tanks, Mr.
Ciccotelli, Project Engineer, Mobil, pointed out the advantages of the
fibreglass tanks, i.e., they are safer, corrosion proof, state-of-the art
and there has not been a problem with the fibreglass tanks or fibreglass
piping which is also used. The fibreglass tanks and pipe have been proven
sound with an indefinite life. Steel tanks last between 15-30 years. The
tanks on the property presently are over 30 years old. Regarding the matter
of taking test borings, it was stated that it would be costly to go through
this process and the installation of the tanks was explained to the Board.
Mr. Arcate suggested that it would be advisable to place the tanks closer
to the road than the residence next door,
Mr. Arcate stated that the present signage at the Mobil Station is in
violation of the Code. He questioned the owners regarding their plans for
signs presently on the property.
Mr. Hughes and Mr. Moran both stated that although present signage does
not comply with the Code, Mobil will conform to Code with the new canopy.
There will be no problem controlling signage and there is a mutual agreement

�between Mobil and Vieira to limit signage.
Hearing closed at 9:30 p.m.
After a recess the Board held a business meeting.
There was a question about how far the canopy would be from the
street. Reply, "it will be 6" from the sidewalk and the smallest canopy
will be used".
Mr. Swaby felt the large sign at the curb should be removed. Mr.
Hughes pointed out that this sign is important to the leasee and reiterated
that Mobil will comply with Code and when Mobil' s Marketing people^ have
plans for the station they will be given to Mr. Margotta. Mr. Hughes also
suggested that work begin on the tanks and canopy and hold off oh a
decision regarding signage.
Mr. Arcate informed him that the Board will meet again when, they
receive the Marketing plans because nonconforming property cannot be given
approval unless signage is satisfactory. It was agreed by the Board
members that a meeting should be held on Tuesday, November 19 at 8 p.m. at
which time the applicants would submit a plan for signs which would conform
to the Code.
A motion was made and seconded by Mr. Paolantoriio and Mr. Swaby, that
a decision be deferred until November 19; all members were in favor of
this motion.
Mr. Ruane made a motion, seconded by Mr. Swaby, to accept the minutes
of the July 18, 1985 meeting.
Meeting adjourned at 10:35 p.m.
Respectfully submitted,

Marie Timmiiigs, acting clerk
