Mr. Friere read the notice of hearing to5consider the request of Philipseburgh Manor Estates for an interpretation of the Zoning Ordinance as to whether a two family house in a two family zone can be sold to two separate purchasers with two separate ^certificates of occupancy being issued on property known and designated on Village map as Section 17, Block 1, Lot 1A3. �Mr. Roy Letsin, attorney for Philipseburg Manor Estates submitted a certified copy of notice served to surrounding property owners affected by the application of Philipseburg Manor. Counsel inquired if there would be any change in the construction of the property. Mr. Letsin stated that the only change was that the builder has permission to build a two family house. He stated that one of the reasons he is asking for this change is that he would have to sell the presently authorized two family houses at $85,000, however, two one family houses would sell for about $42,500. Mr. Letsin stated that it would be easier to find a buyer for a one family house than it is for a two family house. Mr. Letsin stated that this is an economic hardship on the applicant. Mr. Edward Malone, 44 Dell Street, stated that the applicant is not asking for a variance; he is asking for a subdivision. He stated that he does not have the footage for two separate buildings. This is not a hardship, he said. Mr. Arthur Cosgrove, Real Estate Broker and certified appraiser with offices at 16 3 North Broadway, Yonkers, stated that he is wellacquainted \7ith the propert in North Tarrytown and it was his professional opinion that in order to sell a two-family duplex dwelling of this type the price would be $85,000. From experience of this type of building would be extremely difficult to sell and would be an economic hardship, said Mr. Cosgrove. Mr. Cosgrove stated that if the houses were sold separately as a single one-family duplex dwelling, they would sell for approximately $42,500. This would considerably widen the selling market. Counsel Bass stated that it must be shown as.the ordinance applies to the property if the health, welfare and safety would be adversely affected by two owners. Mr. Letsin pointed out that the courts have upheld the decisions of the local boards where an economic hardship exists, Mrs. Marcia Arcate inquired if this would apply to all duplex houses"in the Village and thereby permitting to split these houses. Mr. James Timmings, 119 Rice Avenue, inquired if we are creating a new problem for the Village. He asked that with two individual owners, are we asking for a lot of problems here in the.operation of the Village with people coming forward with problems that two owners cannot solve between themselves. �Mrs. Claudio Roguzin agreed with Mr. Malone and objected to two separate owners. Following a discussion, Mr. Friere stated that the" Board'will meet and discuss the matter in detail with the Attorney and will notify the applicant of their decision.
