April 17, 1973 A hearing was held before the Zoning Board of Appeals of the Village of North Tarrytown, New York, on the above date. Present: James Friere, Chairman James Margotta Peter Esteban Sante J. Chessari, Counsel Leonard Losier, Building Inspector Absent: John Arcate David Page Present: Mr. and Mrs. George Gallinger Chairman Friere called the hearing to order at 8 p.m. Counsel Chessari read the notice of hearing to consider the request of George Gallinger, 12 Maple Street, North Tarrytown, for relief on appeal from a decision of the Building Inspector in denying a permit on applicants' proposal to construct a one-family dwelling, and for variance from the provisions of Section 62-8 (B) of the Zoning Ordinance requirement that there be fifteen (15) feet side yard clearance. The property is located at 71 Sleepy Hollow Road, and is known as Section 17, Block 6, Lot 12 of the Tax Assessment Map of the Village of North Tarrytown. Mrs. Anne Petry, owner of one of the adjacent lots stated that she and her husband object to the variance. She inquired as to why have a zoning ordinance if you do not adhere to it. The neighborhood will be too crowded, said Mrs. Petry. Land is becoming more and more scarce, she said. Mr. Margotta stated that basically the structure is located all right; the question is the overhang of the roof. The Building Inspector stated that he will ask for an interpretation of the ordinance after the hearing, which says that any part ot the building should be fifteen feet for both side yard. Several questions have arisen whereby people have extended the side yard with an overhang of eighteen inches. An exception is made for the front yard and there is no exception for the side yard, said Mr. Losier. �-2- April 17, 1973 Mr. Gallinger stated that to reduce the overhang would damage the appearance of the house. His house is one-story low ranch. Mr* Margotta inquired if the architect drew the plans from our code and he was told by Mr. Gallinger that it was assumed under the Town of Mount Pleasant Code until they realized the error. Mr. Peter Dunicah, 75 Sleepy Hollow Road, stated that he owns the property adjacent to Mr. Gallinger and had just planted shrubbery and hoped that equipment would not damage his shrubbery. There being no further comments to come before the hearing, Chairman Friere advised Mr. Gallinger that the matter will be studied further and he will be notified of the board's decision. Mr. Esteban moved, seconded by Mr. Margotta, that the hearing be adjourned. Carried. Respectfully submitted, Filomena Fallacaro Clerk The Building Inspector asked for an interpretation of the side yard requirement. After discussion, it was concluded that by definition of yards, an unoccupied space open to the sky, on the same lot with a building or structure so that a side yard would be measured from the outside dimensions of a structure to include eaves or cornices would be used in determining side yard requirements. On a discussion of the request of Mr. George Gallinger, James Margotta moved, seconded by Peter Esteban, that his application for a variance from the provisions of Section 62-8 (B) of the Zoning Ordinance of the Village of North Tarrytown be denied, onntbe;basis that the overhang is nonconforming to the Village Zoning rules that there be a 15 foot side yard clearance.
