PRESENT: ABSENT: George Hritz, Chairman Donald Caetano Ellen Tsangaris Steven Salman Edward McCarthy David Permutter James Donovan ALSO PRESENT: Janet Gandolfo, Attorney James Margotta, Building Inspector Susan J. Portman, Assoc./Planning Mark DiGennaro, CAMCE Chairman Hritz called the meeting to order at 8:00P.M. tfr. John Hughes came forward and gave a preview of the application of Mr. James and Martha Bick of 3 Terrace Close, No. Tarrytown, N.Y. to merge a vacant lot designated as Section 11 * Block IS, Lot 9 on the tax assessment map of the Village of North Tarrytown with three adjoining lots. 1. chestnut Ridge - Continuation flon Turnquist came forward and stated that he was the architect for Chestnut Ridge and Larry Rodrigues was the owner. He we*nt on to state that originally they were to come before the fc>oard 2 months ago for Chestnut Ridge - 76 Chestnut Street. Mr. Turnquist explained the proposed plans for parking to the boarcl . The work had already started when Mr. Rodriques decided that the cost of creating the ramp going down to the parking in back of the building was a very expensive proposition. He h a s since purchase an additional lot that backs up to 76 Chestnut street which is 83 Depyster Street. He demonstrated through the maps previously distributed to the board the 3 phase>s for creating the units and the parking spaces. The units that are in the process of being built now require 71/2 spaces. The intent at that time was to provide the parking spaces at 76 Chestnut Street, which was indicated �PAGE #2 « on the previous documents for 76 Chestnut Street. Mr. Turnquist stated "since we have not started that project and we are going to build the 26 spaces, we are here tonight to request that the board allow the Vilalge Building Department to issue a temporary certificate of occupancy with the condition that we will pick up the 71/2 spaces". Chairman Hritz asked how lonq it will take before the spaces are available. Mr. Turnquist stated that they can't start until they get the board's approval for cutting and backup. They have to file the documents with the Village for the retaining wall for the drainage. Mark Digennaro has received this document and is reviewing it. The applicant's engineer is providing additional information. By the beginning of next week, all these documents will be finalized and they will be sent to the Village's Engineering Consultant. Mr. Caetano asked Mr. Mnrgottn if, as long as the property is within 200 ft. of the building he is speaking about, can he take the 71/2 spaces and put It there? Mr. Margotta answered that the Zoning Board had already agreed that he could. He also stated that the Planning Board could not authorize a temporary certificate of occupancy. The Zoning Board had to do it. Tt would be a big help if this board would be in favor of it and let the Zoning Board know it. Ms. Gandolfo asked Mr. Turnquist what exactly they were looking for from the Planninq Roard. Mr. Turnquist stated that when the applicant got the final site approval for 1R5 Valley Plazn, a condition of the appeal was that 71/2 parking spaces would be provided. Ms. Gandolfo corrected him in that it was a requirement of the variance from the Zoning Board and the Planning Board put it in the site plan approval. They couldn't get the CO for the residencial until the parking was provided. Susan Portman stated that it was 0 parking spaces. Also, that 10 spaces be dedicated to the Village. Discussion continued on the parking spaces, the retaining wall ( 13 ft. high ), and how long it will take. Discussion also continued on the risk of building the wall and then later having it torn down. �PAGE #3 Mr. Caetano brought up the fact that he had already received approval from the Zoning Board for the project with 8 spaces and he's within the 200 ft. He's only taking it to another parking lot where he is building a retaining wall. Mr. Caetano can't see a reason why the approval of DiGennaro, after we say yes here tonight that it can't be done. Mr. Caetano moved that the Planning Board permit the applicant to construct a retaining wall and grade the premises at the Chestnut Ridge site at this time, subject to plans being submitted to the Vilalge Engineer and the Village Engineer approving those plans in writing. Mr. Salman seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously. The applicant is permitted to proceed with the grading of the property and retaining wall construction with the understanding that the applicant is proceeding at his own risk of a subsequent disapproval of the project. Discussion insued on a grace period to provide the parking spaces required for 185 Valley Plaza. Chairman Hritz mentioned his concern that another project of theirs that had been approved is short on parking spaces and is causing problems with the firehouse next door and now there is going to be another project where they are going to be short R spaces for some period of time. James Margotta mentioned that one of the solutions is that Mr. Rodriques pay for parking spaces for his tenants until the parking spaces are ready. Discussion as to where to park in that area continued. After taking a vote, Chairman Hritz was authorized to inform the Zoning Board that the Planning Board had no objection for a 60 day extension to provide the parking spaces for 185 Valley Plaza. Mr. Margotta indicated that he preferred to have it sent to the Zoning Board in writing. Ms. Gandolfo informed the applicant that if he went to the Zoning Board to ask for a delay to provide the parking, they need to let the adjcent property owners know. They would have to have a public hearing again. Ms. Portman bought up the fact that this was one part of a larger action. The Type 2 Action is something that doesn't need environmental review but if the retaining wall could have any visual inpact or any other concern to you and if you thought it would fall under this one you might want to say in �PAGE #4 the minutes that you also noted that it was a Type 2 Action. She went on to read: The construction or placement of minor structures, accessories or pernuent to exiting facilities, including garages, car parks, patios, swimming pools, fences, barnes or other buildings. So if the Planning Board thinks the re-grading and the building of the retaining wall could fall under that, the board can say it examined that aspect. Chairman Hritz ask for a motion to that effect. Mr. Perlmutter motion and Ms. Tsangaris seconded. Motion carried unanimously. Mr. Salaman asked to speak with regard to 1 Terrace Close in Sleepy Hollow Manor. The Zoning Code says that determination of lot yard or other space shall not be reduced to less then the minimum required by this ordiance. He asked for an interpertation of the code. Discussion followed about the law concerning the area of a lot. Being there were applicants waiting to be heard, Chairman Hritz stated that this issue could be taken up next week after everybody has had an opportunity to review the issue. 2. Shroba Sub-division Chairman Hritz opened the discussion with regard to the Shroba application. He asked Mr. Shroba if he had received a copy of the record of Frederick P. Clark, Assoc, comments on the proposal. Mr. Shroba answered yes. Chairman Hritz then asked if he had made arrangements to deal with the issues raised here or had any presentation on what he was planning to do. Discussion followed. Ms. Gandolfo commented that the applicant wants to sub-divide along the line indicated on the map and request a variance for the rear yard setback on lot IB. They want to leave the lot line where it is divided. This board would have to make a conditional approval of the Zoning Board to grant them a variance for the frame garage that you see in the back of the existing lot where the existing 21/2 story frame is because that's about 3 ft. too close. They need a �PAGE #5 variance for about 3 ft. along the backyard property line. And that would be the only variance they will need right now. Discussion followed on the proposed plans of the subdivision and the wall. Ms. Gandolfo stated that if the board grants the sub-division, it would have to be with the condition that they do get the variance for the frame garage. Mr. Gaetano asked if the property was going to be sold. Mr. Shroba answered that it is for his daughter. Chairman Hritz indicated that at some time in the future it may go out of the family and be owned by two separate people. Ms. Gandolfo suggested that the board call for a public hearing. Mr. Gaetano moved for a public hearing. Mr. McCarthy seconded and motion carried unanimously. 3. Hoqan Sub-division Chairman Hritz asked Mr. Hogan if he had received the Frederick P. Clark Assoc, memorandum. Mr. Hogan answered that he had recieved it tonight just before the meeting. Chairman Hritz asked him to give a brief explanation of what he was proposing to the board. Mr. Hogan stated that he was proposing a sub-division of the property at 19 Maple Street, North Tarrytown. "We submitted with the application a site plan dividing the property into 3 lots." He stated that he needed time to review the memorandum and he asked if he could communicate directly with Clark Assoc, in regard to the memorandum. He also asked what the options were. He wants to resolve this as soon as possible and he's willing to use whichever way is easier 2 lots or 3. Discussion on which way it would be easier followed. Last year, this was approved as a 3 family residence. Chairman Hritz asked for a motion for a public hearing. Mr. Caetano motion and Mr. Salman seconded. Motion carried unanimously. Mr. Steven Salman, has decided that instead of having the board change it's monthly meeting day to accomodate him, he would turn in his resignation as a Planning Board Member. �PAGE #6 Chairman Hritz said that all will miss him and he moved to pass a resolution to honor him for his service to the board. Mr. McCarthy reported to the board that he attended the Board of Trustees meeting with regard to the Rock of Salvation Church and that it went well.
