X. held at the Corporation Rooms in said Village on the 29th day of July 1931 Present: Gerald B. Gould, Ghairman John K. Mull on David Page, Jr John J. Lofaro, Secretary Mr. Gould called the meeting to order at 8:20 P.M. Tfte minutes of the regular meeting of July 15,1931 were read and approved, Mr* Morse appeared before the B oard in opposition to the application of Edward Manton for a variation of the side line regulation* He stated that he understood since the last meeting Mr. Manton revised the plans and is now building according to the proper side line set back. Mr. Morse talked about the general powers of the Board. He said that the purpose* of the Zoning Ordinance is to Stabilize the character of the buildings in the various districts* There may arise however, circumstances wher e the topography is such that a variance is necessary. In all cases he said no variance should be allowed unless of undue hardship to the owner. Fifty foot lots on Broadway were no different than other lots in the Manor. He said that every member of the Pftilipse Manor Improvement As so* elation objected to Mr. Mantons' Application. People in Philipse Manor want their properties protected not only be the deed restrictions but also by the Zoning Ordinance. �!U fl lii h irH" it ,J» ill •-I I ' l l ft!> fl I •. I'll!i! i| ,!' f 1!

Mr. Green, secretary of the Philipse Manor Improvement Association addressed the Board and said that at an Executive Meeting £0 said Association duly held opposition to Mr. Mantons' Application was registered. Mr. Lofaro informed the Board that Mr. Minnerly, the Building Inspector, notified him that Mr Manton revised the plans of his building and that a Building Permit was issued by him to Mr. Manton. Mr. Lofaro then moved that the application of Mr. Manton for a variation be denied. The said motion was duly seconded and the Board thereupon unanimously denied same. ^Mr* Anthony Tornello appeared before the Board and stated that he desired to conduct a fruit and chichken market on premises known as 20 Cedar St. Residence B Zone. He told the Board that from 1919 to 1925 a fruit business and Chicken market was conducted on said Premises by the Italian-American Transportation Company of which he is one of its officers. He further said that from 1925 to date the said Company has been conducting a garage business on said premises. Mr. ^ould was of the opinion that a mere change in business does not terminate a non-conforming use and that therefore a continuation 0£ business on said premises would not be deemed a violation of the Zoning Ordinance. The mem- bers of the Board agreed in this contention and told Mr. Tornello that no application was necessary.^ �Jilwm I Mi !!ll«»ii W- VM l:i J �ffo /. Mr» Sinnotts' letter bearing date July 28,1951 was read.

North Tarrytown, New York, August 5, 1951* Mr. John J. Lofaro, Secretary, Zoning Board of Appeals, North Tarrytown, N. Y. Gentlemen:On behalf of the following real property owners on Cedar St., in the Village of North Tarrytown:joseph Chessari, 11 Cedar St., Joseph Martone, 2I4. Cedar St., Frank Zingaro, 8 Cedar St., Clinton Scott, 10 Cedar St., G. Siracusa, 15 Cedar St., and many other real property owners on said street who I shall produce, I hereby make complaint against one, Tony Tornello, owner of premises known as #20 Cedar St., North Tarrytown, N. Y» for violating the Zoning Ordinance of the Village of North Tarrytown, Sec. 1^, subdivision (5)> Sec. 5> subdivision (b); Sec. 7> subdivision (a) and (b); Sec. 12, subdivision (h); in that said Tornello has obtained a variance without proper hearing for the objections of his neighbors and has even gone so far as to do the same without a permit. I have been informed that at the last hearing of the Zoning Board of Appeals, Mr. Tornello presented evidence that he had a non-conforming use for the purpose of the storage of trucks as existing before the passage of the Zoning Ordinance. On that evidence, the Zoning Board of Appeals granted him, so I have been informed, permission to construct a' chicken house and conduct the business of a chicken market. My contention is that under Sec. 1 , subdivision (a) and (b) and pursuant to provisions of Sec. 12, subdivision (h) that your Board has permitted Mr. Tornello an extension of a non-conforming use without due notice and that the same has been granted without observing the provisions of Sec. 12, subdivision (h) regarding a public hearing on due notice. I further contend and I shall prove this by affidavits that Mr. Tornello1s non-conforming use ceased to exist many years ago and that under Sec. 7, subdivision (a), he has not even the right to utilize his property for the purpose of a public storage. May I, therefor, respectfully request the Zoning Board of Appeals to notify (1) the Building Inspector to stop the said use on Tornello1s property and order Tornello to take down the sign which he has put up in front of said property (2) notify Mr. Tornello of my objection and to make application for a variance so that the neighbors whose rights <,.'*» "VijSSrSj* i, j,' • �' • ! . • ! �-2are now impaired may have an opportunity to be heard. May I not inquire of the Zoning Board of Appeals whether or not the operation of a chicken house with its terrific odor and smell is really not an industrial use and cannot be located in any business district, See, 5> subdivision (b), even assuming that Mr. Tornello has a non-conforming use for business?

Lofaro, Secretary, Zoning Board of Appeals, North Tarry town, New York. My dear Mr. Lofaro: Your letter of the 24th Instant addressed to The Railroad Co-Operative Building and Loan Association was handed to us for reply• The Association held a mortgage on this property which it was obliged to foreclose as there were no bidders at the sale and became the owner thereof. The former owner, Mr. Bass, obtained a building permit in 1928 permitting him to erect this house, which was formerly a boarding house. We are informed that the residents of Philips Manor were very much gratified at the change from a boarding house to a high-class apartment. It.would be impossible for the Association to re-convert this property, and if it could, it would not be worth the cost of the labor. In view of the fact that the Association is in the position of an innocent purchaser and the further fact that the Village Issued a permit authorizing the construction of this building which permit, by the way, was obtained at the instance of a Mr. Charles Morosco, one of your leading citizens, we are very much of the opinion that no court would enforce the local ordinance against The Railroad Co-Operative Building and Loan Association. If you are in the City we should be very glad to talk the matter over with you at any time. Very truly yours, CRANDALL, GRANT fc WILLIAMS By: & Q ^ d YV\ Qy^^fo FMG:PQ �9 SZ>, •P U O to �Pe Pe Fr hi* f' AP Bu If li Pe Ap Wli Bu Pe «-it ¥ 'It I. Ar Bv Pe Al Bi * Pe Al "SI m Bi Pe '?! 1!
