Roger & Graciela Rodriguez. 23 Hudson Street - Continuation Mr. Barstow, the architect representing Mr. Rodriguez came forward. He stated that he was asked at the last month's meeting to have his engineer contact Mr. DiGennaro and to come up with solutions in regard to the adjacent property which was Village property. He said there seemed to be one particular tree that was holding up the village parking lot that might have some impact. Chairman Hritz asked about the impact on the off site parking. Mr. Barstow went over some of the issues that were brought up at the last meeting. Mr. DiGennaro said that the engineer's design for the retaining wall was satisfactory. The issue that needed to be addressed was the tree that seemed to be holding up the parking lot. He also commented that several other issues were outstanding. 1. Need to get the soil boring, they could be granted a contitional approval 2. Need to address the Village property, have to hold the applicant responsible for any kind of damage. Ms. Gandolfo said that they could do that if the applicant gave a performance bond. She didn't know if the applicant wished to spend that kind of money. Ms. Barstow said that it would be difficult. Very few contractors give performance bonds because they are too costly. Mr. DiGennaro said that in that case he will have to get more details. Not disturbing the tree was not going to satisfy or assure him. he felt that the base of the tree was going to be distrubed. Discussion on the tree holding up the lot followed. Mr. Caetano asked if it will be of any help if they built a retaining wall around the tree. DiGennaro answered that he didn't know. Mr. Miller stated that they wanted to protect the roots of the tree. Discussion continued on the tree. �Chairman Hritz advised Mr. Barstow to address all the outstanding issues because he had to come prepared to the Zoning Board of Appeals. Mr. Margotta asked what were they proposing on the area. Mr. Barstow said that they were proposing five (5) parking spaces and some gardening area. The spaces may be for the tenants. Mr. Margotta said that the parking spaces should be for the tenants in the building. Discussion on the parking spaces ensue. Mr. Cicchetti commented that the engineer was not satisfied. That the conditions had to be met and they had to be done. He suggested that the applicant come back with a plan not to disturb the tree. Mr. Margotta stated that the code said a wall. Was there a difference between a wall, certain type of wall and a retaining wall. Ms. Gandolfo said that they had been sending to the ZBA retaining walls higher then 6 ft. for the last several applications. Mr. Perlmutter said that all he had to do was satisfy the village engineer. Discussion on sending the applicant for the retaining wall to the ZBA followed. Ms. Gandolfo commented that they should be fair and consistent to all and send this applicant to the ZBA for the retaining wall. Mr. Caetano asked why waste time and not waiver sending them to the ZBA. Ms. Gandolfo answered that they wouldn't waste time. Mr. Margotta asked if they would make it to the ZBA July's meeting. Ms. Gandolfo answered yes. Mr. Caetano made a motion to refer the applicant to the ZBA for the retaining wall approval. Mr. Perlmutter seconded. Motion carried unanimously.

MARIANO Recording Secretary _4_ �June 18, 1996 Mr. George Hritz, Chairman North Tarrytown Planning Board Beekman Avenue North Tarrytown, NY 10591 Re: Barnhart Avenue Properties Dear Mr. Hritz: This letter is being written to bring to your attention our interest in the purchase of the properties located at #19, #21, #23, #25, #27, and #29 Barnhart Avenue. Most of us have been living in these homes for over 30 years. We have been interested in buying the properties since 1987 from Mr. Albert Peck who is the current owner. Currently we have offered up to $500,000. for the six properties. Mr. Peck is reluctant to accept. It is our understanding that the properties have been looked at by the developer, Pateman, who wishes to build condominiums in place of these homes. I would ask that you consider a couple of things as we have when making an overall evaluation of the present offer: First of all, we the tenants, have repaired all of these homes over the years without much complaint and financial assistance from Mr. Peck. Upon buying the homes, we have every intention of restoring the houses while still maintaining their turn-of-the-century, New England aspect. This is in line with the Mayors plan of keeping this a quiet, aesthetically pleasing town with the possibility of a water front community to be established in the near future. We doubt that condominiums on a dead-end street would be in-line with maintaining the old-fashioned heritage that North Tarrytown is known for. Furthermore, did any of the planning board members consider the horrendous traffic problem that these condominiums would cause on a one-way and dead-end street? Please do not consider this plan of building condominiums simply because it will create a larger tax base for the town, but rather consider that if this were allowed, six families would be out of a home. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
