In- connection with the matter, Mr. Lofaro informed the members of the Board that on June 11, 1932, he caused the following notice to appear in the Tarrytown Daily Hews: NOTICE ! Residents and Taxpayers of North Tarrytown The Zoning Board of Appeals from time to time receives unsiged complaints. This is to notify that any and all complaints unsigned will not be honered or in•vestigated by this Board. ' Zoning Board of Appeals of the Village of North Tarry tovm. John J. Lofaro, Secretary. �••»••«! �lift The Board thereupon unaminously confirmed the acts of Secretary Lofaro and suggested that since no formal action could be taken by the Board, the complaint souldtoebrought to the Building Inspector's attention for investigation. A letter from Building Inspector, Percy G. Minnerly dated June 20, 1932, was read. Mr. Lofaro said that upon receipt of this letter, he communicated by telephone with Dr. Eugene H. Lehman, who said that he would immediately apply to this Board for a variance. An application from Dr. Eugene H. Lehman, dated June 20, 1932, to grant him a variance permitting him to conduct a tea room on the Highland Manor School property during vacation months terminating early in September, was read. Dr. Lehman appeared before the Board and testified in substance as follows: 1. That during the past twelve years, he had conducted and is still conducting the business of a tea room and inn during the vacation months on premises known as the Highland Manor School. 2. That this was and is done to cut down the overhead expenses in the operation and maintenance of the said school. 3. That Cottage number 4 on College Avenue and Broadway is now adopted for a tea room Inasmuch as the school equipped the said cottage for its Domestic Science Classes. That Cottage number 1, situated in Tarry town was formerly used for that purpose. 4. That very little income is derived from the tea room business, averaging two or three customers daily. 5. That the accomodation of over night guests is by far the biggest item. Some nights there may be a considerable number of guests and other nights a few . That these guests are distributed throughout the campus and are more apt to be lodged in Tarry town than in North Tarry town. After careful consideration and deliberation by the Board, Mr. Lofaro moved that Dr. Eugene H. Lehman be granted permission to continue the operation of the tea room business and inn upon the following grounds: �A5" r i i il i iffill!!8«| I �/*$' 1. That the Highland Manor School is located in Tarry town and partly in Worth Tarrytown. 2. That premises in question are located in Residence "Bn district. 3. That Private Schools and Boarding or Lodging houses not primarily for transient guests are a permitted use in Residence M B" district. 4. That Dr. Lehman has been conducting a tea room business and inn on school premises during the vaction months for the past twelve years. 5. That although the business is not a continuous one throughout the entire year, it may be considered so in these particular circumstances to spell out a non-conforming use. 6. That in this particular case the strict letter of the Zoning Ordinance as applied to the specific premises could not be applied and that unneccessary hardship would result to Dr. Lehman. The motion was duly seconded by Mr. Mull on and on the roll call was unaminously carried. There being no further business to transact, the meeting adjourned at 8:45 P.M.

Claims Business Can Be Conducted At Broadway, Piejrson Avenue A gasoline station is planned for the corner of Broadway and Pierson Avenue by Timothy F . Nolan, who filed a request for permission to establish one with the • North • Tarrytpwn Board of Trustees Friday n i g h t r The board referred it to the Street and Sidewalk Committee for report. Mr. Nolan is awaiting a reply from the board following the comrnlttee's report next Friday night. He said- today that he is certain of his r i g h t ' to establish the gasoline station there. In the deed to his property he is not prohibited from running a business on it. , He has conducted business there for approximately 15 years. The property is more desirable for business t h a n residence. Broadway is actually a "railroad" and should not be zoned under Residence A which applies to high class residence property, he stated today. •*• He contends t h a t his is the only unrestricted property in the manor section.- The cemetery, he contends, is a business and adjoining the cemetery is a tombstone cutting plant and a gasoline station. South of that it is zoned entirely for business to Bedford Road. North of Belle wood Avenue on t h e / west side of the. street there is busy ness in" operation. , He feels that he IS entitled:'.-to conduct business on his property and will fight for the right to establish a- gasoline station if 'the.' village does not approve it. W i t h huge trucks and other traffic running over Broadway now, residents along the Philipse Manor frontage on the hill cannot sleep, a t night with the noise and they a r e disturbed in the daytime also, He awaits the report of the board's committee. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
