Chariman Nazemetz stated he has been a member of the Board for approximately twelve years and he has always acted appropriately for the applicants and for the good of the Village, and therefore he categorically denies all allegations mentioned in the memo, as well as other allegations made about him throughout the continuation of the proceedings on this application. 1.

Thereupon, Mr. McCarthy moved, seconded by Mr. Capossela to have a recess in order to seek advice of Counsel. Mr. McCarthy called the meeting to order at 8:55 P.M. and apologized for the delay. Mr. McCarthy stated that it was his understanding that a five-page memo was delivered to the Village Board members and asked the members to disregard any statements in that memorandum and to not consider any statements made in the memo in their deliberations. �-2Mr. Capossela stated that he thought some of the meetings had become "ugly" and felt that no one owns the rights to a riverview, and stated that the property had been for sale and if people wanted to protect their rights to the view they should have purchased the property. He also stated a stiuation on New Broadway where a house was built completely blocking the view of the river. Mr. Capossela then moved to approve the application made by the Knopper's of 2 Highland Lane for an addition to the property. There being no second to the motion, Acting Chairman McCarthy, on advice of Counsel, declared the motion not carried. Ms. Fina moved to deny the application as submitted based on the following: 1. It would impair the use and desirability of the street and the neighboring properties and could reduce the value of adjacent properties. 2. That the proposed addition would be dissimilar to the other properties surrounding the proposed structure in that the height is greater than neighboring properties and will have an overbearing looming effect on the street. 3. The design of the roof is excessively high and bulky, as compared to the neighboring properties. This mass of thefcroposed roof will not be in scale with or harmony with the surrounding properties. 4. Garage is too prominent. It does not tie in well to the house, and is too close to the street. 5. Computer generated photos do not accurately represent the site in that they represent the building as sitting out on an open cliff with no neighboring properties. Ms. Aloia seconded the motion and made the following comments: She agreed with Ms. Fina's observations and felt that the building would be too bulky for the size of the lot and would be too high for such a small lot. Acting Chairman McCarthy polled the Board as follows: Mr. Ms. Ms. Mr. Capossela Aloia Fina McCarthy No Yes Yes Yes Mr. McCarthy declared the motion denying the application for the addition to the property at 2 Highland Avenue carried. Mr. Pozsin, on behalf of the applicants stated he objected, for the record, to the Chairman's recusal from these proceedings. This recusal �-3is based upon a private communication delivered to Board members after the Public Meeting was closed and public comments should no longer have been accepted. While the Acting Chairman indicated that such communications was not part of the Board's deliberation on the application, it is clear that the Chairman's recusal effects the outcome of these proceedings at this time. He stated that to recuse a member based on a private communication sent only to certain Board members, and not even the member recused, nor the applicant itself, is tantamont and taints the entire proceeding. There being no further business to come before the Board Mr. McCarthy moved, seconded by Ms. Aloia that the same be duly adjourned.
