Galgano Donald M. Walsh, J r . Francis Caro Joseph Ruscigno Absent: R. Windas Dr^S. Z^mrT— Plannina Bd. meeting was called to order by James Galgano at 8 p.m. Dr. S. Solomon was appointed temporary chairman and he conducted the two hearings this evening. Public Notice was read by Dr. "^Je^erPregarding a lot subdivision requested by Pauline and Dr. Murray L. Schole. Lot in question is known as Section 14, Block 16, Lot 1L. Dr. Schole was the first to speak in his own behalf and presented to the Board substantiating evidence that the lot in question was purchased as two lots (his Deed, Title, and Tax Receipts were presented and indicate two lots). Attorney Walsh looked at this material and advised the Board that an application to subdivide this property is necessary due to a legal technicality which stipulates that this lot is indeed one lot, not two. Dr. Schole further advised that when he purchased this property the two lots measured 75 x 100 and he has a survey to prove this. James Galgano questioned whether or not it is legal for the Planning Board to grant permission to subdivide this property. Donald Stever, 157 Millard Avenue, spoke against granting the request for a subdivision of Dr. Schole's property and presented several facts along with a drawing of his conception of the layout of the property in question. Mr. Stever pointed out that Dr. Schole extended his house and if the lot is subdivided, there might be a violation because the extension will be too close to the property line. Mr. Stever feels the Village would not be justified in granting this subdivision. Robert Rogers, 508 Munroe Avenue, also spoke against granting subdivision. He feels that some day these lots might be sold separately and if the empty lot were to be built on, the houses would be too close together. The Board was informed by Mrs. Schole that they have greatly improved their house and upon being questioned by Dr. Se^femon, she informed the Board that the porch was extended when they moved in. Dr. Schole also had some photographs that showed that there are property owners who have buildings that were built too close to property lines. �Margaret Stever, 157 Millard Avenue, also spoke about her fear that the neighborhood would be wall-to-wall houses i f this lot were to be subdivided and built on. Mr. Edward Swaby of the Zoning Board of Appeals spoke next, (12 Spruce Street), and said that the Planning Board should check the minutes of the Zoning Board meeting when Dr. Schole requested a variance to extend his porch. The Zoning Board ruled that i t was not necessary to apply for a variance because the Village of North Tarrytown considered Dr. Schole's lot (.52 acres) to be a single lot and, therefore, there would be sufficient property on which to extend his porch. Mr. Swaby also mentioned that the Village does not use subscripts when numbering lots; lot designations vary in the County, Town, and Village (Ur. Schole said one of his lots was designated as 1L ) . James Galgano made a motion to adjourn and leave this matter to advisement; Joseph Ruscigno seconded the motion. decision will be made. Board w i l l meet with Attorney and a Meeting adjourned at 8:30 p.m. Substantiating evidence submitted by Dr. Schole was noted by Attorney Walsh and Dr. I &WTOTT; we did not receive copies of this evidence.
