Mr. Losier stated that the existing porch is non-conforming under the present code as it stands. To enlarge it, they would need an additional three feet, he said. The plot plan we are looking at this evening is not accurate. Mr, A. Nicolai, owner of the adjacent property to Mr. Matarasso, read a statement whereby he opposed the requested variance of six feet. He stated in his statement that he would be willing to let him install a side porch, four feet wide. Mr. Matarasso stated that the porch is"rotting and in danger of collapse. He stated that he had originally planned on a seven ft. wide porch and was wondering if he could compromise for an additional foot; however, Mr. Nicolai stated that -. four ;ft. is enough for an entrance. Mr. Friere asked Mr. Matarasso to submit a detailed map of the property outlining the proposed porch in question. Mr. Arcate stated that it has been a practice to obtain a letter from the Sleepy Hollow Manor Taxpayers Association that it has knowledge of this application. No further comments, Mr. Esteban moved, seconded by Mr. Margotta that the hearing be closed. Carried. Clerk Fallacaro read the notice of hearing to consider"the request of Felix Corona for relief on appeal from a decision of the building inspector in denying a permit on applicant's proposal to erect a front porch and for a variance permitting fifteen feet front yard clearance, instead of twenty feet front yard clearance and permitting a variance eliminating minimum five feet one side clearance as required by Section 62-8B-R5, paragraphs 5 8 7 on property known and designated on the tax assessement map as Section 16, Block 9, Lot 7. When questioned about his affidavit of signatures, Mr. Corona stated that his attorney was in receipt of it. Mr. Friere instructed Mr. Corona to submit this affidavit to the Clerk as soon as possible. Mr. Antonio Carrozzi, owner of 124 Depeyster. St., stated that he opposed the variance because he alleges that the.porch will be an encroachment of six inches on his property and that it would block out the light to his basement window. �Mr, Margotta stated that we could not grant a variance which would allow an encroachment on his property. No other comments, Mr. Arcate moved, seconded by Mr. Esteban that the hearing be closed. Carried. Mr. Friere stated that the applicant will be notified of the Board's decision by mail. Clerk Fallacaro read the notice of hearing to consider the request of Augustin Triono for relief on appeal from a decision of the building inspector in denying a permit to install a third aparatment in the basement of the existing building on property known as Section 15, Block 10, Lot 13 and for a variance from the provisions of Section 62-8B, subsections R-4, paragraphs 7 8 9 requirements on grounds that it is non-conforming as to front and west side yard clearances and on on-site parking area. Mr. Friere asked if there was anyone present who would like to address the Board on this request for a variance. Mr. Ralph Bettman, appearing in behalf of Mr. Triono, stated that the property is zoned to permit three family residence and the property, at one time, was used as a three family residence. The use should not be in question. He stated that there is a use variance and area variance. This is not a use variance, therefore, use should not be in question. A three family use .was permitted. He stated that the west side setback is non-conforming. The front setback appears to be average permitting use of fifteen feet, which he has. He is not decreasing the non-conformity. Mr. Bettman stated that the zoning ordinance is not being violated as to use or area. Non-conforming use or building may not be structurally altered during its life, unless such building is changed to a conforming use. Variance in effect is not necessary, said Mr. Bettman. Mr. Bettman submitted an affidavit containing signatures of surrounding property owners. Mr. Friere questioned Mr, Bettman about the parking of cars and Mr. Bettman stated that he will put in parking units. Mr. Margotta stated that the cars will have to be a certain distance from the house. Mr, Bettman stated that he can put in three parking units, however, he would need a variance of .6. No further comments, Mr, Esteban moved, seconded by Mr. Margotta that the hearing be closed. Carried, Mr. Friere stated that the applicant will be notified of the Boardfs decision by mail. �-HEXECUTIVE SESSION The Board discussed the requested variances in detail and noted the following decisions: Mr. Arcate moved, seconded by Mr. Margotta that Frank Chevrolet's request for a variance from the Zoning Ordinance be denied on the basis of excessive area of the signs.
