Tarrytown, N.Y. Gentlemen* On "behalf of Sleepy Hollow Manor, Inc., owners of a two story atone dwelling erected at No* 50 Hemlock Drive, North Tarrytown, N.Y,, on lot 5 in block 1-A and section 11, which is also known as lot 5 in "block 3 on the revised map of Sleepy Hollow Manor filed in the office of the Begister of the County of Westchester on June 23rd, 1930 as map No* 36£1, I wish hereby to apply for a variation of the provisions of the Zoning Ordinance of the Village of North Tarrytown with respect to the front line setbacks required in an "A" Residence District* IJhe provisions of the Zoning Ordinance require that "buildings within this district "be set "back 30 feet from the line of the street upon which they face. According to a survey made September 20th, 1928 "by Denehy & Clarke, Civil Engineers, 8 Church Street, White Plains, N.Y., this "building set3 "back from the line of Hemlock Drive 28.95 ft. at its southeasterly corner and 27.48 ft, at the southwesterly corner. A survey made under date of April 24th, 1931 "by Ward Carpenter Engineers, Inc., also of White Plains, confirms the facts shown "by the previous survey with the exception of fractional differences in the setback measurements. This "building is a one-family stone veneer residence, two stories in height. Its construction was commenced in lay, 1928, at a time when the finished roads in Sleepy Hollow Manor had not "been constructed and when the lines of the said streets had not "been as completely staked and monumented as they now are. A survey made "by our own engineering department, from which the "building was staked out for construction, shows that its foundation lines were staked 30 ft, "back of the street line. The fact that the "building was erected nearer the street may "be due to any one of several possible causes, or a combination of the same. It is possible that the street lines in existence at that time, "before the pavement had heen laid out, were in error at this point. It is possible also that the stakes were shifted accidentally, or otherwise, "by one of the contractors, or contractors' employees, engaged in construction. It is possible also that the stakes were removed in error and that in endeavoring to replace them the contractors measured the lineal distance up the steep slope on which the house stands instead of measuring the accurate horizontal distance from the street line* Another possibility of error lies in the fact that the road at this Point is on a decided curve which might have "been overlooked at the time the house w »a laid out "because of the unfinished nature of itie streets. In that case setback lines, measured along the side lines of the plot, would "be considerably shortQ r from the center of the plot where the house is actually located. �rioia [the £ I back 1.05 aff* adjo way [looa ^an<i the the the hi"b: a vtinres pre men it ing cor inv pre « a «v* Ctt u T i"I �a. Board of Appeals d»i»* - 2 - April 30th, 1931* The M%®%x&&*t delay in "bringing the matter to the attention of your orabie Board is due to the fact that we had no knowledge of the apparent • olation until the recent survey was made in connection with a contract for ?he 1928 survey was made for a title company and we +ie sale of the property, It was naturally assumed, when they insured the title, v e r saw a oopy of it. •nat n° conditions existed that were contrary to any law or regulation. In requesting your Honorable Board to grant a variation from the setl3?cle requirements in this particular case, we submit the following facts8 1, The projection "beyond the setback requirements varies only from 1,05 ft* to 2,52 ft*, which projection is so slight as to he unnoticeable and affects in no way the character of the section, or the rights or interests of adjoining property owners. In fact, the projection is so slight as to "be in no way apparent or objectionable, 2, The slightnesa of the encroachment is further emphasized "by the location of the "building on a high hank considerably above the level of the street, and "by the additional 13 ft. of setback between the edge of the road pavement and the front line of the plot* 3, .To correct the existing condition and make the building conform to the strict ^wfiTof the Zoning Ordinance would involve its complete demolition since the only other alternative would be alteration work of a nature that would be prohibitively expensive and would ruin the value of the "building for residence purposes We, therefore, respectfully submit to your Honorable Board our request for a variation in the setback requirements of the zoning law that will permit the continuance of the above building in its present site and permit iteuse as a private residence on the ground that every effort was made in good faith to comply with the provisions of the Zoning Ordinance and that the present building is in no way detri mental to, or in conflict with the character of the "A" Hesidence District in which it is located, and that its present appearance and location are in harmony and keeping with the intent of the law in establishing such a Hesidence District. Your consideration is requested on the further ground that compliance with the law would involve unreasonable and unnecessary hardship on the part of the owners of the property* Vexy truly youra, SLEEPY HOLLOW MAHOE '(A^*^ CHB/HMP tries H, Hob ins on, General Manager* �|0% fe Pe Fr> AP Bu Pe Ap Bu Pe AP Br Pe A'I Bi P A B P �t<?3.
