Applicants:

Chairman Friere called the hearing to order at 8 P.M.
The Clerk read notice of hearing to consider an application by
Charles S Joan Shibetti for a variance from the Zoning Ordinance of the
Village of North Tarrytown, Section 62-8B-R-4-7 front yard requirements,
to permit construction of a one family residence on premises located on
the sou*|h side of Mahoney Place 100 ft. west of New Broadway in said
Village^ designated on the tax assessment map of said Village as
Section 17, Block 20, Lot 34- leaving a distance of ten ft. to the front
line of said property, instead of the required distance of twenty feet*
Mr. Friere asked if there was anyone present who would like to make
any comment.
Mr. Peter DeGaetano, Attorney for the Shibettis submitted proof
that registered letters were sent to property owners surrounding his
property•
Mr. Gasparovic stated that Mrs. Shibetti came before him for a
building permit and wanted to know if she could build the house with a
ten ft. setback, instead of a twenty ft. setback. The Building Dept.
could not give her a permit upon such a request without a variance,
said Mr/: Gasparovic. She was advised to make application for a variance
to the Zoning Board of Appeals.
Mr.r DeGaetano inquired that if Mr. Shibetti's
automobile is parked
in the driveway and extends beyond the front yard of his property, would
a variance be required and he was answered no.
Mr.' DeGaetano stated that the Shibettis are long time residents of
North Tarrytown.
Mr. Shibetti works in Fisher Body and is a member of
the Fire" Department, said Mr. DeGaetano and since there is a shortage of
lots in florth Tarrytown has settled on this particular lot.
Mr. Friere asked Mr, Lofaro if ther^ wa» another house on the
street and he stated Mr. Joseph Lofaro's.
Mr. Friere asked Mr. Lofaro if he had any objection to the variance.

Mr t Lofaro stated that Mr. Shibetti explained the situation to him
and he had no objection so long as his kitchen would not be blocked.
Following a discussion, the Board reserved decision until such
time as the Board reviewed the request. A meeting was scheduled for
April 29th at 6:30 P.M. at Mahoney Place for a decision.
The Clerk read the notice of hearing to consider an application by
Caleb and Susanne Curtis for a variance from the Zoning Ordinance of
North Tarrytown to permit the construction of a one family residence
on each -of the following lots on the tax assessment map of the Village
of North Tarrytown designated as Lot 2, Block IT, Section 11 having a
width of 97.11 ft. and an approximate square foot area of 10,450 ft.
and lot;16, Block IT, Section 11 having a width of 98 ft. and an
approximate square foot area of 10,450 ft. instead of as required by
S* &gt;.t' ^n :62-8B, District R-2A-5 of said Zoning Ordinance requiring a
minimum ;width of 100 ft. and a square ft. area of 15,000.
Mr* Curtis presented proof that registered letters were sent to
surrounding neighbors regarding notice of this request for a variance.
Mr* Curtis stated that an amendment was made to the Zoning Ordinance
on December 18th regarding the area of lots and width of lots in Sleepy
Hollow Manor which would pertain only to new lots. However, since the i
Court of Appeals handed down a decision which affected his lots and
since they are being sold to Mr. M. Harmon, he would like this matter ;
clarified.

•

Mr,' Gasparovic stated that he did not feel that a variance was
necessary; however, a case came up in Bronxville whereby the Supreme'
Court, $tate of New York, ruled that a variance must be granted to a
property owner who has a lot adjacent to his property -that property
was a conforming lot before the ordinance became into effect.
Mr,! David Bamford, President of the Sleepy Hollow Taxpayers1
Association, stated that the people in Sleepy Hollow Manor are in support
of thisramendment since it would not apply to existing lots.
\

The Clerk read a letter from Mr. £ Mrs. Nathans who objected to
the variance.
Following a discussion, Pat Lupi moved, seconded by David Page that
Mr. S Mj?s. Caleb Curtis be granted a variance from the Zoning Ordinance
of the Village of North Tarrytown to construct a one family residence :\
on eachfof the following lots on the tax assessment map of the Village
of North Tarrytown designated as Lot 2, Block IT y Section 11 having a»
width of 97.11 ft. and an approximate square foot area of 10,450 ft.
