PUBLIC HEARING: LAURENTINO RODRIGUES, CHESTNUT RIDGE HILLSIDE COURT PROJECT The clerk read the Notice of Public Hearing to hear and consider an appeal by Laurentino Rodrigues from a decision of the Building Inspector which denied a building permit for construction of a building at 76 Chestnut Street and 83 Depeyster Street The applicant is proposing to remove the existing residences and replace them with two three-story buildings containing total of 20 dwelling units, �« known as Chestnut Ridge/Hillside Construction. The applicant is requesting the following variances: 1) The minimum lot size for a residential use is 5,000 sq. ft for the first three dwelling units and 1,500 sq. ft. for each additional dwelling unit. The size of the property is 18,712 sq. ft. The applicant needs 30,500 sq. ft. for the proposed development. 2) In the C-2 District, there is a 20-foot front yard setback requirement. The applicant's plans show a setback of three feet on Chestnut Street and 5.5 feet on Depeyster Street. 3) A three foot minimum side yard setback is required for a residential use. A side yard setback of two feet is being proposed for the Chestnut Street side of the development. The total setback of both side yards is required to be 12 feet. Only seven feet is provided for the Chestnut Street side of the project and 10 feet for the Depeyster Street side. 4) A 25 foot rear yard setback is required for a residential use. The applicant's plan only shows a rear yard of approximately four feet. 5) The maximum building coverage for a residential use is 20%. The applicant is proposing a building coverage of 47%. 6) A total of 49 parking spaces are proposed for the site. The Code requires a total of 41. The spaces proposed on the plans are small than the minimum nine feet by 18 feet size required by the Code. 7) The Code requires that driveways be at least 15 feet from a side lot line at the street line. The applicant proposes two driveways and neither driveway complies with the Code. 8) One loading space is required for an office use. The proposed plan does not provide for any loading spaces. 9) The Schedule of Regulations contains a requirement of 100 sq. ft. of usable open space per dwelling unit for multiple dwellings. In this case, 2,000 sq. ft. total would be required. The proposed plan does not show any usable open space. The premises are known as Section 16, Block 11 and Lot 8 and 15 on the tax assessment map of the Village of North Tarrytwon. Chairman Paolantonio asked if anyone in the audience had any comments on this application. Mr. Ron Turnquist came forward and stated that he was the architect and Laurentino Rodrigues was the owner of the project. He explained details of the project by referring to the site plans distributed to the Board members earlier. Referring to the project model, he pointed out the features of the buildings. Mr. Turnquist addressed the financial harship issue and explained why the applicant needs 20 units approved in the project in order to make it economically feasible. �Discussion followed on the financial cost of the project and Board members wanted more details from the applicant. They questioned how Mr. Rodrigues arrived at the figures in his cost analysis. Mr. Turnquist went over the cost of the project and stated that in order to make any profit, they need 20 units. He reviewed the financial break-down in an effort to explain in more detail to the Board members. Mr. Robert Anello commented that there was no proof of financial hardship on the current ownership. He also asked what was the need to do the project. He stated that the Board had to look at financial hardship and looking at the numbers, there was no financial hardship. Mr. Turnquist tried to explain the reasons why Mr. Rodrigues wants to build the project. They couldn't do it for 12 units, so that was why they were before the Board to get approval for the variances needed. Discussion followed on why the project needs to be done, the expense of the building now, the maintenance, etc. Mr. Rodrigues stated that he liked to build new buildings because with old buildings there is a lot of maintenance and an owner ends up spending more money on repairs. Discussion followed. Chairman Paolantonio commented that he (Mr. Rodrigues) had been buying and rebuilding houses for a long time. "He didn't go into this project blind, he knows what he is doing." The Chairman then asked Mr. Turnquist if he was through with his presentation. Being that he was, he then asked the Board if they had any questions. Questions arose on open spaces, parking and the driveways. Mr. Turnquist answered the questions by referring to the site plans. Ms. Gandolfo pointed out that terraced spaces were not what was contemplated when the Village adopted the requirement that new projects have open spaces. Discussion on open spaces and parking spaces followed. Chairman Paolantonio asked if anybody else on the Board had any more questions. There being none, he asked if anyone in the audience had any comments. • ;-ii5Wfc-&«ss3Je3^3(^#iJs3teVi<<*tta^^ �George Samaras, 175 Valley Street, asked if Gary McLean had a right to sit on the Zoning Board of Appeals. The question was referred to Ms. Gandolfo who advised Mr. Samaras to address his question to the Mayor and the Board of Trustees if he had any issue with the appointments to the Zoning Board of Appeals. Mr. Samaras tried to continue this line of discussion and the Chairman told him that the Board was not here to discuss the legality of an appointment. If he had a complaint, he had to go to the Board of Trustees. Mr. Samaras "I want to talk about Mr. Rodriques now. Does Mr. Rodrigues have a permit to dump on his property." Chairman Paolantonio stated that it had nothing to do with this Board. It was the Inspector's job. Mr. Margotta "We recognize that Mr. Rodrigues needs fill and as far as I'm concerned, he can dump decent fill on his property." Mr. Samaras continued to argue about Mr. Rodrigues' authority to dump fill on the property. The Chairman told Mr. Samaras that he was out of order. Mr. Samaras was asked to leave by the Police for being out of order but then he was permitted to return to the meeting. The Chairman asked if anybody else had anything to say about the application. Fred Opie, Jr., 55 Batton Road, Croton, New York stated that he owned the property across the street from 83 Depeyster Street He wanted to known how much Mr. Rodrigues was going to get for rent for the units. The Chairman answered that the estimated rent for a 1 bedroom apartment was $800 and for 2 bedrooms it was $1,000. These were the estimated rents as submitted by the applicant. Mr. Opie questioned whether average families could afford to pay this rent? He stated that the reason he was asking this question was because this neighborhood was basically a low income neighborhood and he was wondering if the old character of the neighborhood was going to change because of these rental units. Robert Anello asked him if he thought that the rental price of $1,000 was higher than the general rental prices in that neighborhood. Chairman Paolantonio reminded everyone that the Board only determines area �and use variances. Mr. Opie stated that the building could affect the assessment on his mother's property and any increase in taxes could bankrupt her. He also pointed out that there is very limited parking on Depeyster Street. Donald Caetano, 43 Lawrence Avenue, North Tarrytown stated that with G.M. going away, taxes were going up. Bringing this project in would be good for the Village and lower our taxes. He praised people who come to this community to invest. -j Mr. Miguel Jimenez, 95 Beekman, North Tarrytown stated that the Chairman should sometimes be more patient. He stated that some people get excited but that everybody should have an opportunity to talk even if they are wrong." Frank Rey, North Tarrytown, stated that he felt that the project was too large. George Samaras stated that Mr. Rodrigues gets favored treatment all the time and that the ZBA should think of the impact of this project on the schools. He also stated that we should let the residents know what we are doing here. Chairman Paolantonio said that notices were published in the newspaper for all meetings. Mr. Samaras stated that a lot of people in this Village don't know what's going on in the Village. Bob Carpenter, Pocantico Street, North Tarrytown stated that there should be compromise on both sides. With G.M. on the way out, taxes and rents are going up for everybody. He stated that he was in favor of the project. Antonio Amereli, 166 Cortlandt Street and 87 Depeyster Street. "What we talking about here is the Zoning Law, Zoning Regulation. We talking about the approval of this project. We need people like Mr. Rodrigues, but that is besides the point. We are talking about a lot of difference. Too much for this property. Suppose we approve this plan, I come in a week and I say I want to pull my house down and built a Ave family house, what is the Board going to say - No?" Chairman Paolantonio asked if anybody else had any comments. There being nobody else, he asked for a motion to close the Public Hearing. John Morabito moved to close the Public Hearing. Frank Occhipinti seconded. Motion carried unanimously. Chairman Paolantonio commented that the Planning Board was going to meet the next day. They were Lead Agency for SEQR purposes of this project. �Discussion on whether to adjourn to next month and re-open the Public Hearing followed. Chairman suggested to put off the final decision until next month after hearing some input from the Planning Board. Robert Anello commented that he wanted to go over the rental numbers and know where they came from. John Morabito motion to adjourn this application to next meeting in February. Frank Occhipinti seconded. Motion carried unanimously. 2. LAURENTEVO RODRIGUES, 155 VALLEY STREET- PIZZA PARLOR The clerk read the Notice of Public Hearing to hear and consider an appeal by Laurentino Rodrigues from a decision of the Building Inspector which denied a building permit for installation of a Pizza restaurant at 185 Valley Street, North Tarrytown, New York on the following grounds: Section 6220.1 of the Village Code entitled Restaurants, delicatessens, food service establishments, taverns, bars and drinking establishments reads that No portion of the property used for a restaurant or food service establishment or delicatessen or tavern or bar shall lie within two hundred (200) feet in a straight line from any lot or parcel that is used for another restaurant or food service establishment or delicatessen or tavern or bar. The premises are known as Section 16, Block 11, and Lot 1 on the tax assessment map of the Village of North Tarrytown. Chairman Paolantonio asked if anyone in the audience wanted to make a comment. Mr. Turnquist, the architect, came forward and referring to the site plans, went over the proposed pizzeria. He explained why the "La Piazza" wanted to move to a new site. He said "We feel that there is room in the Village of North Tarrytown for another pizzeria." Robert Anello asked if this property had been on the market to rent. He asked whether it was hard to rent the space. Mr. Rodrigues answered "Yes" Frank Occhipinti asked if his tenants across the street had a problem with this application. �Mr. Rodrigues answered "No" Chairman Paolantonio asked if there were any further comments from the Board. There being none, he asked the audience if they had any comments. Ellie Samara, 175 Valley Street, stated that he objected to the pizza store going in. He stated that North Tarry town did not need another pizza parlor. He questioned why the Board would make a decision on this case when there was a lawsuit pending against the Zoning Board for Rodrigues' deli application. He stated the Board should wait to make a decision. Chairman Paolantonio told Ellie that this hearing was about a Pizzeria on Valley Street and not about the lawsuit. They were two different issues. Ellie Samaras again brings up the law suit and the tax payers paying for the lawyer's fees. Donald Caetano pointed out that this project was approved by the Village of North Tarrytown Zoning Board and by the Planning Board. Mr. Rodrigues is trying to rent his property. It's up to the Board to give to their best of their ability to this man who wants to bring a business to North Tarrytown which does not violate any Code as far as another pizzeria is concerned. Angelo Guzzo, Beekman Avenue. "I'm here looking into the future of my father's pizzeria. On a straight line this pizzeria comes to 192 ft. We depend on the people who walk up from College Arms and Valley Street to buy something. According to this, it eliminates me. The Piazza is from Tarrytown. There are stores spaces available in Tarrytown." Miguel Jimenez questioned the Code, the problems of the previous Code and the Code as it is now. He suggested that the Board make a proposal and go to the Village of North Tarrytown and take this law away forever. Frank Occhipinti told Mr. Jimenez that Major Treacy was a co-author of the Code. When he realized that it was conter productive and wanted to rectify it, he brought it up to the Board of Trustees. They didn't want to do anything about it. Chairman Paolantonio, referring to Mr. Jimenez, said that the Code was put in to deter the same kind of businesses in the Village. If he didn't like the Code, he could go before the Board of Trustees, petition and represent your case. The Zoning Board doesn't have the power to change the Code. He told him to petition the Board of Trustees to knock this Code out if they didn't like it. The Code wasn't put to deter competition. �Ellic Samaras stated that he was opposed to any type of food establishment going in at this location. He wants to stop the pizzeria. He told the Zoning Board to meet with the Board of Trustees before it gives an illegal variance. He said to the Board "Either you go by the book or you don't go by the book. I'm not here to pay lawyers, I'm here to tell the Board to take the book and follow what is the book." Donald Caetano stated, "Chairman, maybe a lot of people are not aware, any variance to be given is up to them. Whether they want to approve or disapprove, this is the power of the Board. So, all those arguments back and forth, give your opines, your suggestions; if the Board wants to give it O.K. or say no, its up to them no matter what variances are within this community." Mr. Jimenez questioned where are we going to park to get to the pizzeria. The Chairman stated that the Code doesn't call for parking spaces for a business. Mr. Margotta commented that there was a business establishment there before which didn't require parking. Now he's putting in a business establishment which doesn't require parking except for the upstairs. Chairman Paolantonio asked for a motion to close the Public Hearing. John Morabito made a motion to close the Public Hearing. Robert Anello seconded. Public Hearing closed. Gary Mclean stated that this Code in effect creates a monopoly. That's why this is a free country. If you have a business and can't survive, get out of the business. Robert Anello wanted some indication of what efforts had been made to rent to businesses other then food establishments. To give a variance, you still have to follow the rules for an area variance. John Cappello stated that laws are in the books. We should abide by them. Nothing has changed. What's to prevent somebody else going down the street 200 feet and opening up another pizzeria. Robert Anello suggested to adjourn the matter, to come back with more information. John Morabito asked if it will be a hardship on the applicant to put it off for another month. John Cappello stated that they created their own hardship. He stated that Larry knew that there was a 200 feet law in the Village. �Discussion followed as to whether to adjourn or not. Robert Anello explained to Mr. Rodrigues and Mr. Turnquist the proof he needs to show hardship and why he needs to do so. Robert Anello moved to adjourn this application till next month. John Morabito seconded. Chairman Paolantonio stated that the meeting was adjourned to the third week in February. Let the applicant bring in proof to the Board to show hardship pertaining to this application Motion carried unanimously. John Morabito moved to approve the minutes of December 21,1995. Gary McLean seconded. Motion carried unanimously. There being no further business before the Board, the meeting was adjourned. Respectfully submitted CARMEN G.

LARRY RODRIGUES, PIZZA PARLOR, 185 VALLEY STREET CONTINUATION Mr. Ron Turnquist, the architect, requested to continue next month for lack of documentation.

CONTINUATION OF SITE PLAN APPROVABLE OF APPLICATION RE: CHESTNUT RIDGE Mr. Ron Turnquist, architect and George Laurentiho, representing his father, Larry Laurentino, came forward. Referring to the site plans, Mr. Turnquist went on to explain the changes made since the last presentation on Chestnut Ridge. He stated that 76 Chestnut remained the same and that 2 units were cut from 83 Depeyster. He said that the concern was that there were too many dwelling units, so they compromised by taking 2 units out - from 20 units to 18 units. He went on to explain the changes on the project indicating that they now meet all the requirements needed for the variances. Discussion on the parking spaces for 185 Valley Street ensued. Chairman Paolantonio bought up the issue that Rodrigues hadn't provided the S parking spaces for the apartments and the 10 parking spaces for the Village. Mr. Turnquist said that they never had agreed to t h a t PAGE # 5 �Mr. Margotta explained: "I think what happened was that Larry bought 76 Chestnut Street and he wanted to tear the building down, negotiate with the Village to build a parking lot and in that parking lot he would provide parking for his apartment house and the rest of the parking area the Village would metered. But, the Village would build the parking lot. Then Larry bought the property on Depeyster Street and the whole ballgame changed." Discussion followed on parking for the project. Mr. Turnquist stated that they have tried to address all the comments and he felt that the project was a good one. The advantages of new housing verses the open buildings that are on the site non-conforming. He goes on to explain in detail all the changes made after the 2 units were removed. Discussion on handicapped units, handicapped lifts and property taxes followed. Mr. Turnquist went over the financial list pointing out the new figures.

Mr. Turnquist disagreed with Mr. Cappello's comment. Discussion on the total number of dwelling units ensued. Robert Anello felt that they had addressed the issue of hardship and had satisfy the elements for an area variance which he identify. Chairman Paolantonio asked if anybody else had comments. He asked the Board what they wanted to do. Mr. Margotta: "Are you going to vote on this tonight? I don't think the intent was to come to a decision tonight. Was it? I thought the Planning Board just wanted them to review it at this meeting and then after, at a later date, have a Zoning Board meeting." John Morabito: "I think that part of Chestnut Street, Depeyster Street and Valley Street are getting a little better than Beekman Avenue. I've got to commend Rodrigues for putting his money, work and effort into North Tarrytown - patting some tax property on Village records. I think that's more than a project. I make a motion that we grant this." PAGE # 6 �» » Ms. Gandolfo asked if he was making a motion on each and every variance. John Morabito motioned to grant the variance as noted on the site plans revised on January 25,1995 for 18 units with accompanying variables. Frank Occhipinti seconded.

The premises in question are designated on the Tax assessment maps of the Village of North Tarrytown as Section 15, Block 13, Lot 43A. Mr. Robert Barstow, the architect representing Mr. Vatai, came forward and stated that the reason they were back before the Board was because of one of the 3 conditions given on the December 21,1994 as part of the approval. After reviewing the conditions, the landlord felt that condition #1 was not possible for him to meet He explained that he and Mr. Montero were the present tenants and at the present �time their business was such that they didn't want to expand or pay additional rent. This left the landlord with a storefront that he couldn't rent. "That's why we would like to modify the existing approval that was given back in December and see if we can expand, make the apartment a little bit larger. That is the proposal here tonight. Eliminate the storefront that was in the existing format and make that bedroom or living room just a little bit bigger." Robert Audio asked if the apartment will remain one bedroom. Mr. Barstow answered "yes, one bedroom." Mr. Barstow asked Mr. Montero if he had anything to add and Mr. Montero answered that he agreed with what was said. Chairman Paolantonio commented that somebody had mentioned the fact that Mr. Vatai was going to move to the premises. "Assuming that we don't approve this, where is he going to live?" Mr. Barstow "This is the apartment that he was proposing to move to. This is the only apartment available to him". Discussion followed as to whether Mr. Vatai was going to move into the apartment. Robert Anello asked Mr. Barstow if he had given the Architectural Review Board this proposal. Mr. Barstow answered "No, the first step to do along the line is to come back to the Zoning Board to find out if they could get this modification and then the Architectural Review Board. Gary McLean asked if it was possible to downsize - make one master bedroom and one child's bedroom. Discussion on the size of the rooms followed. Mr. Bastow pointed out that the new plans showed the changes they had made to meet the conditions previously established. Chairman Paolantonio pointed out to the Board that they had to vote on what was shown on the plans. Chairman Paolantonio asked if anybody from the audience had anything to say in this application. No one present wished to speak. �John Morabito made a motion to close the Public Hearing. Robert Anello seconded. Motion carried unanimously. Public Hearing closed. Chairman Paolantonio commented that the last decision was made a few months ago. There were three conditions. They came back with this proposal to lock up the storefront in the front. If the present tenants leave, he couldn't rent it to one tenant the way it stands now. Robert Anello stated that his concern was what it was going to look like. One side looking like residential apartments and the other side looking like a store. Discussion on parking and the number of rooms followed. Robert Anello motioned to declare this a Type IISEQRA Action which will have no material adverse impact on the environment. Gary McLean seconded. Motion carried unanimously. Robert Anello move to grant the variance to permit a one bedroom apartment as proposed in the plans and subject to the same conditions that were on the variance granted on December 21,1994 omitting the requirement that the whole front be used as a storefront.

L. RODRIGUEZ: PIZZA PARLOR, VALLEY STREET APPROVAL OF STOREFRONT The clerk read the Notice of Public Hearing to hear and consider an appeal by Laurentino Rodriguez from a decision of the Building Inspector which denied a building permit for the installation of a Pizza restaurant at 185 Valley Street, North Tarrytown, New York on the following grounds: Section 6220.1 of the Village Code entitled Restaurants, Delicatessens, food service establishments, Taverns, Bars and drinking establishments reads that NO portion of the property used for a Restaurant or food service establishment or Delicatessen or Tavern or Bar shall lie with two hundred (200) feet in a straight line from any lot or parcel taht is used for another Restaurant or food service establishment or Delicatessen or Tavern or Bar. The premises are known as Section 16, Block 11, and Lot 1 on the tax assessment map of the Village of North Tarrytown. Mr. Turnquist, the architect, went over the commercial spaces on the premises that were vacant. He explained Mr. Rodrigues' effort to rent the spaces, 5 stores altogether. He handed out copies of the ads advertising the vacant stores. "People are interested, but once they are told of the location they don't call back." He went on to say that the owners of the Piazza in Tarrytown were interested in renting because they were looking for a place to re-locate in the Tarrytowns. �Chairman asked if any of the Board members wanted to ask any questions. Mr. Anello went over what Mr. Turnquist had said about the advertising. He asked Mr. Turnquist about the Deli that had previously been given variances and about other food establishments around the premises. Mr. Turnquist memtioned Mikes's Deli, the Bakery, and the Seabreeze Restaurant. Mr. Anello asked about other retail stores. Mr. Turnquist mentioned seven stores. Bakery, Seabreeze, Mike's Deli, Check Cashing, International Market, proposed Pizzeria, vacant store. Mr. Morabito asked how many sq. feet was the Mini-Market and was it rented. Mr. Turnquist answered that it was rented but he didn't know the present status. Mr. Rodrigues stated that they were in Court. Mr. Anello commented that the Deli may not happen. He then asked as to when they have gotten the variance. Chairman Paolantonio answered about a year ago. Chairman asked if there were any further comments. There being none, he asked if anybody in the audience had any comments. Mr. Pascuale Guzzo "My business is within the 200 feet. If the ordinance is there, I obey the ordinance." Mr. George Samaras "Mike's deli has had problems with Mr. Rodrigues before. Now we have another problem with Mr. Rodrigues. I would like to have the hardship he has. The people say the rent he charges is too high. This is not hardship." He goes on to state that Mr. Rodrigues' hardship was not really a hardship because the reason he couldn't rent was due to high rent. Mr. Caetano "No one can control rent on Mr. Rodrigues property. There is no rent control on commercial property. No rent control on stores. He's pleading hardship because people are not making business in his stores. The area is not the greatest in the Village of North Tarrytown and I will say it has been at least 65% improved by Mr. Rodrigues." Elie Samaras "As long as the law is there, we should go by it If you feel the ordinance shouldn't be there, get rid of the ordinance.'i i PAGE # 2 - ^ . - . . - ^ i ^ - a t f ^j^Z^**^**^ �V Chairman Paolantonio "I don't see anyone going before the Board. They are the only ones who can change it." He also stated that it wasn't put there to stop the competition. Mr. Samaras, "Last meeting they asked him to show hardship." He again goes over what he had said before. Mr. Rodrigues at this point wanted to know how Mr. Samaras knew so much about his business with his tenants. The Chairman asked that all parties address the Board. Mr. Anello moved to close the Public Hearing. Mr. Morabito seconded. Public Hearing closed. Chairman Paolantonio commented that the ordinance was not put in the books to stop competition. Mr. Anello "I think we should not address or deny whether we think it is a bad law or a good law. Our only job is to grant exception to the law. We are just here to find out whether or not there is a basis under the requirements for an area variance. What I look at is the requirements under the law to grant a variance or area variance. There are five things to consider. Just on the over all view, the next question is to see if there is an effect on the health, safety and welfare. I find it difficult to find a difference other then perhaps from having too many food service establishments and perhaps a litter problem. 1. Is there a change in the neighboorhood. I don't see any change. 2. Whether or not the benifit can be obtain by a means other than a variance. 3. Is it a substantial variance. No. 4. Is there an adverse impact on the environment. I don't think there is. 5. Is it a self created hardship. Probably. On balance "I'm in favor of granting the variance." Mr. Morabito "I agree with Bob. I see no reason to object to this." Mr. Anello made a motion to declare it a Type IISEQRA Acton with no material adverse impact on the environment PAGE # 3 �Mr. Morabito seconded. Motion carried unanimously. Mr. Morabito made a motion to grant the variance. Mr. Anello seconded. Moton carried unanimously. Mr. Morabito made a motion to approve the minutes of March 15,1995 as submitted. Mr. Anello seconded.

The applicant states that the premises are a nonconforming use which predates the Village's Zoning Code. The premises are known as Section 16, Block 14, Lot 6 on the tax assessment maps of the Village of North Tarrytown. Chairman Anello asked if anyone was present to speak for the applicant. Mr. Joseph Iurato came forward and said: "I've had this house, my mother had the house for over 30 years. Since we had this house it has always been a four (4) family house. We have been paying our taxes for years as a four (4) family house." Chairman Anello opened the Public Hearing. Ms. Eleanor Russo said: "I'm just here to confirm that he has a four (4) family house on 52 Depeyster Street. I'm his neighbor. I live at 46 Depeyster Street and we bought our house in 1956 at which time it (Iurato's) was owned by Mr. Savatorie DiStefano and it was a four (4) family house then. There was one (1) apartment in the basement, two (2) apartments on the first floor and one (1) apartment on the second floor." Chairman Anello asked if that was the way it was now, in those locations. Ms. Eleanor Russo answered that it hasn't been changed. Chairman Anello asked her if she has been there since 1956. �She answered yes. Ms. Carmela Delflon stated that she had been living in the neighborhood for 25 years. Her mother bought her house in 1965. She stated Mr. Iurato's house has been a four (4) family for as long as she can remember. Chairman Anello asked if anyone else in the public wanted to comment. Mrs. Iurato said: "Mr. Margotta told my husband, I remembered, that it was as three (3) family house. The families were top floor-one family, the first floor that was divided into two apartments was listed in the Village Hall as one and the basement was the other." Chairman Anello asked here where was the ViUage mistaken. She answered on the first floor where the Village had one apartment when in reality there were two apartments. Chairman Anello commented that the back of the house looked like it had an extension. He asked when the extension was done. ^^ Mr. Joseph Iurato answered that it was there when they bought the house. Chairman Anello asked "in the last 30 years, you haven't extended the house at all?" Mr. Iurato answered no. Chairman Anello asked how much parking was on the premises. Mr. Iurato commented that everyone parked on the street Chairman Anello said: "So, really your request is for it to be declare a nonconforming use rather than your seeking a variance." Mr. Angelo LoMascolo asked if the Board could take Ms. Russo's testimony under oath. Chairman Anello stated that the Board had her affidavit Mr. LoMascolo answered that her affidavit only went back 30 years, whereas the Zoning Code is more then 30 years old. She said that she has only been there since 1956. -3- �Discussion as to when the Zoning Code went into effect followed. Janet Gandolfo commented that the initial Zoning Code was set up for different areas in 1964. Mr. Occhipinti pointed the discrepancy on the house being on the agenda as a two (2) family and on Mr. Iurato as a three (3) family. Chairman asked Mr. Iurato if he had anything else to give to the Board. Discussion as to former and present tenants followed. Mr. Morabito asked Mr. Iurato if he was paying taxes on a four (4) fmaily house because of the assessment done in the Village at that time. Mr. Occhipinti commented that he was paying on a four (4) family because he had use as a four (4) family house. Chairman Anello asked Mr. Iurato if he was trying to sell the house. Mr. Iurato answered yes. Chairman Anello "does anyone have any other questions in regards to establishing whether or not htis is a non-conforming use as opposed to a variance, because if it's a non-conforming use, he's entitled to it no matter what. The question is do we have any other way of determining whether or not it does predate the Code." Mr. LoMascolo indicated that it would be useful if Ms. Russo stated under oath as to how long she has known the house to be a four (4) family house. Chairman Anello asked Mr. Iurato if he could, how long his family had owned the house. Mr. Iurato answered since 1965. Chairman Anello asked Ms. Russo to step forward and explained to her what the Board would like her to say under oath. Ms. Russo was sworn in by Chairman Anello. Mr. LoMascolo: "Do you understand what it means to testify under oath?". Ms. Russo: "Yes". Mr. LoMascolo: "You say that you moved in your house in 1956, is that correct?". �Ms. Russo: "My house, 46 Depeyster Street in 1956".

He wanted to rebuild the existing garage. The garage that exists now is 9'9' and the new one will be 12'. Chairman Anello asked if the side yard was affected only by the garage. Mr. Martone answered yes, only the garage portion. Chairman Anello asked if the other two aspects of the variance were pre-existing. Mr. Martone answered yes. He stated that anything they do in the house would need a variance because everything predates the zoning laws.

MR. & MRS. MONACO, 53 Fremont Road - CONSTRUCTION OF A SIX (6) FOOT FENCE Chairman Anello read the Notice of Public Hearing to hear and consider an appeal by Mr. and Mrs. John Monaco from a decision of the Building Inspector which denied a building permit for the construction of a six (6) foot fence at premises located at 53 Fremont Road. The applicant is requesting a variance from the Village code which prohibits the erection offences and walls in excess of three (3) feet in the front yard of any residential district. The premises are known as Section 11, Block IE, Lot 1 on the tax assessment map of the Village of North Tarrytown. Chairman Anello asked if anyone was present for the applicant. Mr. John Monaco came forward and stated first of all that the fence was originally going to be a 5' fence and not 6'. He said that his side yard was considered to be a front yard. The main reason for the fence was to secure the area for his children. The fence was 3 to 4 feet from the curb. Chairman Anello asked if he was seeking a variance for a 6' fence. Mr. Monaco stated that he wanted a variance. He was willing to cut the fence to 5' for approval. He went on to explain to the Board his reasons as to why he needed the fence to be 5*. He wanted to keep his children safe. Chairman Anello asked if anyone in the public had any comments. Ms. Barbara Fina, a member of the Architectural Review Board, said that she was a little confused because Mr. Monaco was on the ARB agenda for 3 months, had an application prior to the fence going up and somehow, he never showed up. Chairman Anello asked Mr. Margotta if the ARB generally considered matters if they required variances. Mr. Margotta answered that at the time he didn't know how high the fence was. -3- �Mr. Monaco commented that the reason why he didn't show up at the scheduled meeting of the Architectural Review Board was because at that time they decided not to go ahead with the fence. Ms. Fina stated that she didn't approve offences over 3 feet. Chairman Anello asked how it fit with the neighborhood. Ms. Fina answed that she didn't think it fitted in with the neighborhood. Mr. Richard Weiss stated that theSleepy Hollow Manor Board voted to approve the fence only after they were told that the Monacos had all the Village approvals. Ms. Lisa Norich stated that she had looked at the fence at Mr. Monaco's home. The fence is not unappealing to look at. She didn't think anyone else was going to ask for a fence. Mr. Sulo said that he thought Mr. Monaco was entitled to have his privacy in his house. Ms. Doris Pellet said she was on the Board of the Sleepy Hollow Improvement Association. She said Mr. Monaco's contractors assured her that he had gotten approval from Mr. Margotta. Mr. Richard Weiss, President of the Sleepy Hollow Manor Association, spoke against the height of the fence. He commented that a 5' front fence is subject to approval from the Sleepy Hollow Manor Association. Mr. George Hritz stated that he was the former president of the Sleepy Hollow Manor Assoc, and that he was present representing same. He commented that there were three issues before ZBA to consider. The aesthethics issue; the process issue and the practical issue. Aesthethics - He said that he thought there was room for some disagreement but the Architectural Review Board should resolve this issue. Process - There are rules in the neighborhood to be followed and Mr. Monaco didn't follow them. Practicality - The application should be deferred while he goes before the Architectural Review Board. Greg Biel, the contractor for Mr. Monaco stated that he never said they had a Village permit Ms. Pellet directed him to Mr. White. Mr. Vile stated that Ms. Pellet had commented that the Manor was no place for children. �Mr. Monaco passed a letter to the Board written to him from the Sleepy Hollow Manor Association Board approving the fence. He stated that he had no problem reducing the fence and was open to suggestions. Mr. Angelo LoMascolo asked that at what point did he become aware that the yard in question was considered a front yard. Mr. Monaco answered 3 to 4 weeks after the Manor Assoc, approval. Mr. Margotta explained a little history of the application. He said that last year Mr. Monaco was supposed to be before the Architectural Review Board for the fence. Mr. Monaco submitted an application. Mr. Monaco was put on the agenda. While Mr. Monaco was on the agenda the ARB should have received information as to the location, type offence and height. The ARB received that. Mr. Monaco was put on the agenda three separate times. Finally Mr. Margotta went to Mr. Monaco's house to see what was going on and to ask why he wasn't showing up. He never received any information. Discussion between Mr. Margotta and Mr. Monaco. Ms. Gandolfo was asked how many approvals Mr. Monaco would need from the Village. Ms. Gandolfo stated that he needed approvals from the ZBA and the ARB. Mr. LoMascolo asked where the interpretation comes from that this was in fact a front yard. Ms. Gandolfo stated that it was in the zoning code. Discussion continued on the fence. Mr. Occhipinti move to close the Public Hearing. Mr. McLean seconded. Carried unanimously. Public Hearing closed. Chairman Anello commented that the ZBA had three options regarding this application. They could decide it, they could defer it and decide it in the next meeting after the ARB has had an opportunity to view it, or they could deny i t If they deny the variance, Mr. Manaco couldn't re-apply for six months. Discussion on what option to take by Board members followed. Mr. Margotta suggested that they send him a letter to cut the fence height down. Ms. Gandolfo commented tc Jimmy that he could schedule him with the Architectural Review Board without having a public hearing on i t -5'U4v^-~>^i^i^s%s^ �Mr. LoMascolo moved to adjourn the application to the next meeting. Mr. McLean seconded. Carried unanimously. 3. LAWRENCE D.

Lenihan from a decision of the Building Inspector which denied a building permit for the construction of a fence at premises located at 457 Bellwood Avenue. The applicant is requesting a variance from the Village code which prohibits the erection offences and walls in excess of three (3) feet in the front yard of any residential district. The premises are known as Section 14, Block 23, Lot ID, 5A on the tax assessment map of the Village of North Tarrytown. Chairman Anello asked Mr. Lenihan wanted to address the Board on his behalf. Mr. Lenihan came forward and stated that they moved into the house in May. They're doing a lot of work to the house. There was a big concern about theold fence because it was in a dangerous condition. The pickets were coming out. He started to rebuild the fence but Mr. Margotta told him he needed variance.He submitted letters from Mr. & Mrs. Grala and Mr. David Perlmutter in which they state that they are in favor of the new fence. They stated that the old one was an eyesore and dangerous and the new one is attractive and well built. The applicant stated that he didn't know it was against the code. Most of the fence is actually below 3 feet. Its only 4 feet in some areas. He passed out pictures of the old fence and the new fence. Chairman Anello read the letters from David Perlmutter and the Gralas. Chairman Anello asked if anyone in the public had any comments. Mr. Martone stated that it was an improvement of the premises. He commented that there had been no complaints and only good comments and that it was a job well done. Mr. Occhipinti moved to close the Public Hearing. Mr. McLean seconded. Carried unanimously. Public Hearing closed. Mr. Occhipinti commented that Mr. Lenihan worked hard. He said that he was all for it. He made a motion to grant the variance. -bi,4.JKf«!* i^sik^^i^&^Sit^^^&Ms^^^tk^i&s^i&^g^ �Mr. LoMascolo said that he would like to distinguish this case from the previous fence case. To him this was not an undesirable change in the character of the neighborhood. It was no change at all or certainly an improvement. The change was not going to have an impact. For all of those reasons, and because it was not self-created problem and it was a replacement of a fence, he believed the application should be granted. Mr. McLean seconded the motion to grant the variance. Mr. Occhipinti moved that the Zoning Board of Appeals be declare Lead Agency in this matter and this be declare a Type n SEQA Action which will have no material adverse impact on the environment. Mr. McLean seconded. Carried unanimously. Motion to grant the variance carried unanimously. 4. ANTONIO RODRIGUES, 358 No. Broadway - PHILPSE PLAZA Chairman Anello read the Notice of Public hearing to hear and consider an appeal by Antonio Rodrigues from a decision of the Building Inspector which denied a building permit for the construction of an office and retail building at premises located at 358 No. Broadway, referred to as Philipse Plaza. The applicant is requesting several variances, as follows: 1) The Schedule of Regulations, Part II requires a 20 foot rear yard in addition to a 5 foot buffer area between a business district and a residential area as required by Section 62.9C(2). The applicant's plan provides for a 15 foot rear yard. 2) The Section 62-14E of the Code requires 57 parking spaces for the proposed project (25 spaces for the retail uses and 24 spaces for the office uses). The applicant's plan provides for a total of 44 spaces. 3) Section 62-14F of the Code requires that 2 loading spaces be provided. The applicant's plan provides for 1 loading space. 4) Section 62-14C requires that an access drive shall not exceed 25 feet The applicant's plan proposes an access drive of 27 feet The premises are known as Section 17, Block 21, Lots 15 & 37 on the tax assessment map of the Village of North Tarrytown. Chairman Anello asked if there was anyone present for Mr. Antonio Rodriguez. Mr. John Hughes and Louis Contadino came forward. Mr. Contadino, referring to the site drawings, explained the project to the Board. It is a 12,000 sq. ft building. The ground floor will have 5,000 sq. ft in retail, the second floor about 7,000 sq. ft. �of flat office space. He showed the model of the project. He said that because the driveway was 25 ft. and the State requires 30 ft. they were in the process of negotiating with the State. He said they wanted to keep "Uncle Jerry's" in operation for as long as possible. Antonio's Carpentry would stay intact. Referring to the side drawings, he went on to answer all questions put to him by the Board relating to the project. Mr. Hughes stated that they had about 80% of the parking requirement. The problem was that it was not economically feasible to make the building any smaller. The parking requirements will not be a problem because of the nature of the building. Chairman Anello read a letter received from Helen Stafford, Donna Stafford-Landi and Anthony Landi in which they expressed their concern that the project will be an improvement for the area. However, the concerns which they addressed were reasonable and needed to be addressed to avoid future problems for the developer and the town. Mr. LoMascolo asked how high the retaining wall will need to be in order to hold back the hillside north of the property. Mr. Contadino answered about 12 feet. Ms. Gandolfo stated that they will need a variance for the retaining wall. Mr. Margotta stated that he didn't see where they will need a variance. Mr. Hughes said that they didn't want a buffer. They didn't have any room for it. AH we have is 5 ft. Discussion on the buffer followed. Chairman Anello asked if anyone in the public had any comments. Ms. Gloria Estafanos stated that they were concern, because their house was on top directly behind it. Had a very little wall there. She was concern about the excavation. Chairman Anello asked if the excavation was going to be done with blasting. Mr. Contadino answered that it was going to be conducted in several steps and very little blasting. The retaining wall was going to built with concrete blocks - 4 ft wide. Mr. Margotta stated that in addition to their engineer designing the retaining wall, the Village is going to employ an engineer to review it �Question arosed as to the correct address of the project. Mr. Margotta said that a retaining wall and a wall are two different things. You can fill a block wall between your property and your neighbor's property or a decorative wall or a garden wall. That's why its a wall. A retaining wall is a structure as in use. It's holding the dirt back. It's completely different from a wall. Ms. Gandolfo stated that the retaining walls in some areas control the slopes and they are building on different slopes. So therefore, variances will be required. Richard Sweet questioned the address of the project. He stated that his home happens to overlook the area. He asked the Board to address the concerns of the people. Mr. Martone said that he was in favor of re-developing the area but the concerns of the neighbors should be addressed prior to granting any variances. Mr. Morabito moved to close the Public Hearing. Mr. Occhipinti seconded. Carried unanimously. Public Hearing closed. Chairman Anello gave a summary of what was said. Discussion on the parking followed. Chairman Anello expressed his concern on the buffer in the front and buffer in the back. Mr. Hughes asked the Board to give him some guidance on the retaining wall. Mr. Margotta said that the retaining wall should be 25 ft. back from the property line. Mr. LoMascolo read the following definitions : A structure is any combination of materials forming any construction, the use of which requires location on the ground or attachment to something having location on the ground, and including, among other things, display stands, fences and walls, gasoline pumps, gates and gate posts, mobile dwellings, outdoor bins, pergolas, platforms, pools, porches, reviewing stands, sales stands, signs, stadiums, stagings, standpipes, tanks of any kind, tents, towers of any kind, including radio and television towers and antennas, and trellises. A setback is defined as the distance from the front line of the structure to the street line structure. The side yard is the yard situated between the side lines of a building. �Side yard is defined by building. Set back is defined by structure. Mr. Hughes said he would leave his application on file but will re-notice pursuant to tonight's discussion. Application to be continued. At this point, Mr. Occhipinti removed himself from the Board because his application would be considered next. 5. FRANK OCCHIPINTI, 20 Hudson Street - THIRD DWELLING UNIT Chairman Anello read the Notice of Public Hearing to hear and consider an appeal by Frank Occhipinti from a decision of the Building Inspector which denied a building permit for the construction of a third dwelling unit at premises located at 20 Hudson Street.

The premises are known as Section 16, Block 3, Lot 23A on the tax assessment map of the Village of North Tarrytown. Mr. Occhipinti stated that he had a home on 20 Hudson Street. It was a 2 family residence in a manufacturing zone. Everything on the street was residential use except for a building which was a mechanic shop. The house is a 2 family home and he was going for a variance for 3. Because it was a manufacturing district, he couldn't use it for residential use unless he applied for a variance. Ms. Gandolfo stated that anything Mr. Occhipinti wanted to do on the property would need a variance. Mr. Occhipinti stated that he was applying for two variances. One for the third family residence and one for the parking. Right now, nobody had parking. There is a municipal lot on the street which the Village rents to residents of the area. Morabito asked where the third family was going to be. Mr. Occhipinti answered the basement Chairman Anello asked if there was an issue of income of the building. Mr. Occhipinti answered yes. Right now, he was collecting $825 for one unit and $850 for the other unit for a total of $1,675.00. His monthly mortgage payment is for $1,809.00. -10- �Mr. Morabito asked how many rooms to the third apartment. Mr. Occhipinti answered 3. Mr. Morabito asked how much rent the applicant would get for this 3rd apartment. Mr. Occhipinti answered $600.00. Chairman Anello asked if anyone in the public had any comments. David Star stated that his property was next to Mr. Occhipinti and that Mr. Occhipinti's letter was misleading on the parking spaces. He said that Mr. Occhipinti didn't have any parking available. The parking in the neighborhood was congested. It was pointed out that Mr. Star had terminated his public lease with Mr. Occhipinti subcuent to the public notice and therefore there was no intent to deceive the Board. Mr. Hyland said that he was representing the owner next door to Mr. Occhipinti. Mr. Ortiz had three parking spaces. As for the parking lot, it was full. No vacancy in the parking lot. The street was already congested. He also stated that the applicant was given a variance a few years back from a one-family to a two-family. Chairman Anello commented that variances can be granted continuously. Mr. Morabito commented that he was concerned if the apartment was safe for someone to get out. He asked if there was a door for people to get in and a door or window for people to leave. Ed Rivera stated he was concerned about the parking. There was no longer any parking spaces available. The street was very congested. Discussion on parking followed. Mr. Morabito moved to close the Public Hearing. Mr. McLean seconded. Carried unanimously. Public Hearing closed.

Unfortunatley, a family graduation will not enable us to attend the public hearing of WEDNESDAY, JUNE 21, 1995 to address our.concerns with regard to the PHILIPSE PLAZA project. As owners and residents immediately adjacent to the proposed structure, we would appreciate the reading of this letter on our behalf at the une 21, 1995 meeting, and a written response as to the decisions that may be ade that evening. Listed below are the concerns which need to be brought to the attention of the developer and the building inspector: LOCATION OF THE ACCESS DRIVE "' Access into and out of the plaza should not be directly onto Old Broadway due to the heavy flow of traffice that currently exists. Old Broadway is a narrow, poorly paved street that affords parking on both sides.with traffic flowing in both directions. There are cars currently flowing through the street to obtain access to the BP Gas Station and the Antique store. In addition, the street is often used for parking by residents of Pocantico Street and visitors of the Philipsburg Manor Restoration.when their parking lot fills to capacity. To allow access into the proposed plaza through Old Broadway would impose a.severe hazard condition to town residents and visitors. The access should be made at the traffic light on Route 9 at the intersection where Uncle Jerry's Deli now exists. 5-FOOT BUFFER AREA Since the development of the area from a used car dealer where vehicle activity was minimal into a piazaJ"for retail.''and office use where customer's and of worker's cars will constantly be pulling in and out and trucks may be making deliveries, we would like a treed buffer between our property and the plaza to block our view and insure nrivacv from vehicles and pedestrians, f �^ r PHfLIPSE PLAZA Page 2 400 North Broadway North Tarrytown, NY _ 10591 LIGHTING Lighting for the parking! lot ".should1 be ".'designed so that it does not face the residence at 400 North Broadway and if feasible it should be turned on and off at-reasonable hours. Amber lighting should also be considered to reduce the glare. GARBAGE COMPACTORS At a previ ous meetirigon thi s'. topi c, i t was stated that the Garbage Compactors must be enclosed in such a way. so as not to create an eye-sore for the!people accessing the restoration accross the street. We should'have the same consideration for the neighbors 1ivi ng next door on a daily basi s and locate the Garbage faci1ities away from our residence. We also ask that the placement of the Garbage Compactors allow easy access for pickup while being inconspicuous to the public, perhaps behind the building. RETAINING WALL Areview of the Plan showed that the grade of the Plaza development would be drastically changed thus makirigJ t necessary to have!a retaini ng wall between our property arid the developer's parkingf1bt. When questioned about 'the designjthe developer;had no PIans avai1able for review. As residents adjacentto the"parking lot of the proposed Plaza, I feel we are entitled to be consulted on the design of the retaining wall;and laridscaning to afford bur privacy and continue/our well being as homeowners and.to insure the soundness of our investment. In closing, we would like to let it be knowntthat^we are not in any way opposed to the development. Wefeel"that it will be ani iniprovement for the area, however, the concerns addressed herewith are. reasonable:and need to be addressed .at this time to avoid future problems for the developer and the town once the Plaza project is complete.

B L A C K M O N June 21, 1995 Zoning Board Village of North Tarrytown N. Tarrytown, NY 10591 Gentlemen: Linda and I have resided at 470 Bellwood Avenue for over 20 years. During that period of time the fence at 457 Bellwood became more and more in need of replacement. We were overjoyed to see the work that Larry and Marion Lenahan have done to repair the fence. The fence is in the identical place that the old fence was, but it is a remarkable improvement. Whereas the old fence was falling apart and was an eye sore, the new fence, built painstakingly piece by piece by Larry, is a welcome addition to the neighborhood. The property looks far better than it looked during those few moments when there was no fence at all. Your granting of his application7 J would not only be appropriate but welcomed. Thank you for your court. ion. David M.

We are writing this letter in support of your appeal to maintain the fence around your property. The previous owners had neglected the property and the old fence was an eyesore and in such disrepair that it seemed to be what lawyers call an "attractive hazard/nuisance" to children playing in the area. The fence you have constructed is attractive (in the positive sense), well built, and it fits in well with the buildings and landscape of the neighborhood. We find it difficult to believe that anyone would object to an improvement that not only benefits the quality of your property but obviously improves the value of the entire neighborhood. We strongly urge the Zoning Board of Appeals of the Village of North Tarrytown to permit you to maintain the fence. 125 Merlin Ave No. Tarrytown, N.Y. 10591 �U*«*M LEGAL NOTICE VILLAGE OF NORTH TARRYTOWN PLEASE TAKE NOTICE that the Zoning Board of Appeals of the Village of North Tarrytown will hold a public hearing on Wednesday, June 21, 1995 at 8:00 P.M. in the Municipal Building, 28 Beekman Avenue, North Tarrytown to hear and consider an appeal by Antonio Rodrigues from a decision of the Building Inspector which denied a building permit for the construction of an office and retail building at premises located at 358 N.

Ms. Lucielle Anderson stated that the wall had been there for 65 years. The railroad ties were there. She couldn't afford to build a stone wall.

If the Board passed the matter, it should do so with a strong word to the Planning Board to carefully take in consideration all of the neighborhood concerns that had been brought up before the ZBA. Ms. Mauhs thought that it will be a great asset to the whole area. The only concern was the slope area on top of the retaining wall.

SAMUEL VIERA, JR. - 65 Howard Street - One story addition ON BEHALF OF MANUEL MARTIN The clerk read the Notice of Public Hearing to hear and consider an appeal by Mr. Samuel Viera, Jr. from a decision of the Building Inspector which denied a permit for a one story addition with a garage and kitchen at premises located at 65 Howard Street. 65 Howard Street is a two-family residence in an R-5 District. The applicant is seeking the following variances: 1. The Schedule of Regulations, Part I requires a minimum lot size of 4,000 sq. ft. The actual lot size is 3,200 sq. ft. 2. The Schedule of Regulations, Part I requires a maximum lot coverage of 35%. The proposed coverage is 40%. 3. The Schedule of Regulations, Part I on Kendall Avenue requires a front yard of 20'-0". The actual front yard is 7!-50". 4. The Schedule of Regulations, Part I requires a rear yard of 25'-0". The proposed rear yard is 9'-22". 5. The Schedule of Regulations, Part I on Howard Street requires a front yard of 20'-0". The actual front yard is 8'-0". The premises are known as Section 15, Block 5, Lot 1, 2 on the tax assessment map of the Village of North Tarrytown. Mr. Viera, the architect for the owners, Mr. and Mrs. Manuel Martin and Maria Martinez, came forward and explained that the owners were not in the State. He said that they had re-located to Kansas and at the present did not live in the house. The house was now a rental property. They have lived in Dobbs Ferry with their parents and had to sell their -2- �house in Dobbs Ferry. This project was for their parents to move back to Tarrytown and live and occupy the bottom floor apartment of this house. This was a two-family house and this will be a one story addition to the side of the house to accommodate the parents of the owners. Chairman Anello referring to the drawing asked about the side addition, if it was a kitchen, garage and a covered porch. Mr. Viera said yes. Ms. Gandolfo asked if there was a kitchen there now. Mr. Viera said yes. He said that it was a small kitchen they wanted to enlarge it. Ms. Gandolfo asked if the property had continuously been used as a two-family residence. Mr. Viera stated that it has been and will continue to be a two-family residence. Chairman Anello asked who was living in the building now. Mr. Viera answered that there were tenants and they were aware of the situation. The tenant on the 1st floor knew that they will have to re-locate if the variances were granted. Chairman Anello asked how many bedrooms were at the premises. Mr. Viera described the inside of the apartment. He also added that some of the variances that were noted are existing conditions of the house. The house was non-conforming as it stood. Chairman Anello asked which were the variances that were pre-existing. Mr. Viera stated that both front yards were non-conforming. Chairman asked how the building plan fit in with the neighborhood. Mr. Viera referred to other drawings previously submitted. Discussion on the parking followed. Chairman asked if anyone from the public had anything to say. Mr. Vincent Froncelli, 67 Howard Street came forward. He read a letter from his neighbors, Alan and Sheri Kaplan (attached to the minutes) dated October 18, 1995. He felt that this construction will depreciate his property. It was too close to his property. -3- �Ms. Lydia Michaelides, 84 Howard Street came forward. She said that the lot is already too small. A long time ago, they allowed two houses on one lot. They have broken all the rules. Too many rules, too many laws. They are going to block the sun. It would be like living in New York City. Chairman asked her what the negative affect will be. Ms. Michaelides answered that it will be too much construction. It was going to affect other peoples' back yards and their gardens. There was no one else from the public who wished to address the Board. Mr. Morabito moved to close the Public Hearing. Mr. Mclean seconded. Public Hearing closed. Chairman Anello commented that in terms of hardship the owner's parents wanted to move back to the house. He asked if there was any reason that some other arrangement could not be made. Mr. Viera said that the hardship was that the owners had to re-locate to Kansas due to the situation with General Motors. They have to move out of the house from the apartment they were living in right now which is a larger apartment. It has more storage space, garage, dining room and everything else. Mr. Morabito commented that the new addition met the front yard setbacks. Minimum requirement for 2 side yards is 15' and if you add both side yards, it added up to 15'. The only thing is the rear set back, its in line with the existing house. Discussion on the rear set back ensued. Mr. McLean commented that it was really tight down there and not much green at all. Ms. Mauhs commented that it was really tight. She understood the desire for more space. Chairman commented that he didn't see any major hardship. He understood that they wanted to move into the house. Ms. Mauhs asked if they had to move out of the house. Mr. Viera answered yes. The house had been sold. Chairman said that the neighborhood was already very tight. That it was unfortunate to see what little greenery there disappear. The Zoning Board was intended to keep that -4- �from happening. He didn't see this as a terrible hardship. Taking out a lot of greenery to put in a garage was not right. Ms. Mauhs said she saw it as a couple who had to move out with no place to go. If it was getting deeper into that yard, she would have a problem with that. Mr. LoMascolo commented "when I look at the map, it appears that the Martin's house is no closer to either Howard or Kendall than its neighbors. In addition, the Martin's house is further from the property line than is the neighbor on Kendall and, after the addition, will be as far or farther from the property line then the neighbor on Howard. In addition, the addition respects all setbacks and much of the area that it will be built over is concrete. Accordingly, I believe the area variance should be granted." Chairman stated that the one thing that the Zoning laws intend to do was put brakes on that kind of construction. One of the elements of granting variances was not undesirable changes, character of the neighborhood, that will weigh in favor of this variance. He thought some of the other elements didn't weigh in favor of this variance. 1. He stated that the variances asked for were substantial. There were five variances needed. The fact that they were pre-existing and non-conforming, were all related to the same issues. 2. Another issue was the benefit sought by the applicant can be achieved by other means. 3. Whether the sought variances will have an adverse impact on the physical environmental condition of the neighborhood. He thought it will. 4. Whether this hardship was self created. He thought it was. Mr. Viera stated that the concerns of the people were their sideyards. Discussion on the yards followed. Mr. Morabito made a motion that the Zoning Board of Appeals be declare Lead Agency in this matter and this be declared a Type II SEQA Action which will have no material adverse impact on the environment. Ms. Mauhs seconded. Motion carried. Mr. Morabito made a motion that the request be granted. Ms. Mauhs seconded. Mr. McLean voted yes Mr. LoMascolo voted yes Chairman Anello voted no Motion carried. 3. AUGUSTIN TRIANA - 128 Cortlandt Street - Installation of a restaurant -5^V^*#M£^&fcs^X4dH^^£^^ �The clerk read the Notice of Public Hearing to hear and consider an appeal by Mr. Augustin Triana from a decision of the Building Inspector which denied a building permit to install a restaurant at premises located at 128 Cortlandt Street for the following reasons: 1. No portion of the property used for a restaurant or food service establishment or delicatessen or tavern or bar shall lie within two hundred (200) feet in a straight line from any lot or parcel that is used for another restaurant or food service establishment or delicatessen or tavern or bar. 2. Section 62-14E requires one parking space for each five seats. Ninety four seats are proposed. Nineteen parking spaces are required. Applicant has not provided for any parking spaces. 3. Section 62-14F requires one loading space. Applicant has not provided for any loading space. Mr. John Hughes, attorney, came forward and said: "This building is non-conforming and was built in the early 1920's. On the College Avenue side is a small grocery store. On the Cortlandt Street side is vacant. It was used until 1993 as a bar and was closed down. On the 2nd floor above the bar are 10 individual rooms with a common bath. On the 3rd floor,- another 10 individual rooms with a common bath at the end of the hallway. This rooming house is a legal non-conforming use. A wood frame building. I must tell you that it is economically viable. These rooms are rented all the time. There is virtually no vacancy rate. The reason for that, most of you know, there is economic need for this type of housing. Temporary housing for single men which is affordable. In my opinion, this is one of the most unsafe uses in the Village of North Tarrytown. The history of the ownership, my client purchased a partnership interest in this property in 1984. He had partners. Because the partners did not want to invest any capital in re-modeling the building, not much was done, except to collect rent. Earlier this year he was able to buy out his partners. Now he wants to improve the building." Chairman Anello asked Mr. Hughes if he knew how much parking was required under the current use. Mr. Hughes answered: "one space for each rented room. So there will be twenty there. There is a Zoning schedule attached to my application which describes the existing requirements and the requirements as proposed." Mr. Ron Tumquist commented that Mr. Hughes forgot to mention the Social Club to the back of the bar which has been vacated. Also, numbers required for the deli on the first : level on the College Avenue. Bottom line was that the parking requirements for the proposed use were substantially less then when it was a bar, social club, deli and rooming house. Mr. Turnquist, by referring to the drawings explained the proposed project. He said that the intent was to eliminate 20 rooms and create 4 dwelling units and a restaurant. Chairman Anello pointed out that the restaurant was going to operate with parking. �Mr. Hughes said that there was no parking. " I would say that the customers go to the same exact place that the customers at Tarry Inn or Goldies or any other restaurant located at Beekman Avenue or Cortlandt Street or anywhere in town - they park on the streets." Mr. Mclean asked if Mr. Triana owned property nearby. Mr. Hughes said yes, that he did own property nearby. He owned a parking lot across the street. He was willing to delicate some parking from this lot to the project. These parking spaces were rented out to residents and businesses. If they were kicked out, they will have to park on the streets. Chairman commented that he understood what they wanted to do. It was an improvement on the property. It was the parking issue that was going to be a problem. He questioned why the applicant couldn't use the lot across the street for parking. •i • Mr. Hughes stated that he wanted the Board to consider the following: 1. Fire safety and public safety. Currently it was a wood frame building. It was the most dangerous residential use in North Tarrytown. It was a non-conforming use so it was legal. There was 20 men in those rooms, smoking. This proposal was going to have many safety improvements. . 2. This applicant was going to invest his capital in an area where it was needed. Brand new building. Restaurant design was very nice. The applicant is 58 years old. He was an assistant, chef with the Waldorf and Hilton. He knows how to prepare and service food. Mr. Hughes discussed the parking issue further. Discussion on parking followed. Chairman asked if anyone in the public had anything to say. Mr. Richard Chulla, Fire Chief of the Fire Department, came forward. He spoke on behalf of a small delegation present. He stated that the area was heavily congested. He reminded the Board that they had given the Rock of Salvation Church a variance to build a day care center which they were in the process of doing now. The fire house was against it due to problems with traffic and congestions. The fire truck was sometimes delayed in getting in and out of the fire house. There was no parking available. Bob Moon, Assist. Fire Chief came forward. He stated that they had back up ambulances due to heavy traffic and double parking. He said a traffic study should be done. John Cellante, Union Hose, came forward. �He commented that there was no parking available. No place to park. The area was too congested now. Can't get through because of traffic. Always late getting to alarms. Dominick Pulsoni, 80 Chestnut Street came forward. He said that the people will always find a place to park. The applicant could use the parking from his lot for the restaurant. Chairman Anello asked the applicant if any of the tenants rented from his parking lot. Mr. Triana answered about 5 or 6. Mr. Morabito move that the Public Hearing be closed. Ms. Mauhs seconded. Public Hearing closed. Chairman commented that they were asking for 94 seats. His view was that this proposal gave no thought to parking and it asked for quiet a large restaurant in an area that was overly congested. Mr. Hughes offered to provide the Board with a list of the tenants living in the builing that are in the parking lot and said that they will discuss the matter and come up with a proposal or in the alternative they will withdraw the application. He then asked for a continuance. Mr. LoMascolo suggested the thought of using the parking lot in the evening hours on a valet basis. Mr. Morabito questioned the law of a bar being 200 feet from a Church. Mr. Hughes said that they will come back with a revised proposal. Application to be continued. Mr. Morabito move to approved the minutes as amended. Ms. Mauhs seconded. Carried uniamously. There being no further matters to come before the Board, the meeting was adjourned.

We feel that this would not be in the best interests of the community. The property is already beyond today's regulations for set backs, and not just by a small margin. Granting a variance of this magnitude does not make sense for the neighborhood. Our block has very little space between the homes as it is. This variance would directly impact my property and deny us of the enjoyment we now have. i.e.We would lose our garden and the openness we feelfromthat side of our home. We hope you will not grant this variance as requested. Sincerely, /J^S^— Alan Kaplan Sheri Kaplan v^->^VS;teis:K%^»aVjfes 1 M3i*fc^ � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
