Two public hearings were held before the Zoning Board of Appeals
of the Village of North Tarrytown, N.Y. on the above date.
Present

James Friere, Chairman
Peter Esteban
James Margotta
Thomas Connelly
Sante J* Chessari, Counsel
Leonard Losier, Building Inspector

Chairman Friere called the hearings to order at 8:00 P.M.
Counsel Chessari read the first notice of hearing to consider
the request of William Williams, 107 Cortlandt Street, for relief on
appeal from a decision of the Building Inspector in denying a permit
on applicant's proposal to erect a one rear room addition of approximately
723 sq. ft and for (1) a variance from the provisions of Section 62-14,
Subsection E on-site parking requirements that there be 1.2 parking
spaces for each apartment or a total of 7.2 parking spaces; and (2)
for a variance from the provisions of Section 62-25-A requirements that
a nonconforming use or building may not be structurally altered during
its life to an extent exceeding in aggregate costs twenty-five percent
of the assessed value of the building.
Chairman Friere asked if there was anyone present who would like
to comment on the requested variance.
Mr. Charles Steinberg, of Steinberg £ Tuchman, representing Mr.
Williams, stated that his client has lived in the Village for over
25 years. He stated that there are six dwelling units all occupied by
members of his family. There are two cars owned by Mr. Williams and
one of the residents in the building. The addition is a playroom for
use of several grandchildren, said Mr. Steinberg. He stated that the
room would be constructed by various members of his family.
Mr. Steinberg stated that Section 62-14E-off-site parking, does
not apply in this case because it is a non-conforming use. The playroom
will not, in any way, bring in people with cars nor in any way interfere
with the neighborhood, which is mostly commercial, he said. Mr. Steinberg
stated that Mr. Williams will try to conform to the best of his ability
and have no off-street parking problem relating to anyone living on his
premises.
Mr. Steinberg stated that Section 62-25A is not violated and this
section does not apply. The estimated expense of the playroom is between
$500-$1000. He requested that the decision of the Building Inspector
be over-ruled and permission be granted to Mr. Williams to build a
playroom.

�Mr. Margotta stated that the room would have to built according
to the Building Code, however, before anything is done Mr. Williams
should present a plan. He also questioned whether the one window would
provide air ventilation.
Mr. Losier stated that it would not for that size room.
Mr. Steinberg stated that there would be three windows.
Counsel Chessari stated that it has to be understood that in the
event that the Board should render a favorable decision, the room
being constructed has to conform to the building code. The next step
would be to apply to the building inspector for a permit,
Mr. John Blalock, Cortlahdt Street, stated that he is in agreement
that the extension would conform to the building code so that there
will be no hazard.
Mr. Losier questioned the figure of 500-1000 for the construction.
He stated that he cannot conceive that it could be done for that amount
of money; it still has a value.
It was stated earlier that materials and labor were being donated
by relatives and friends.
An affidavit was submitted to the effect that neighbors within a
200 ft. radius were notified of the hearing.
No other comments, the hearing was closed.
Mr, Friere stated that the Board will render a decision and
notify Mr. Williams of same.
Counsel Chessari read the second notice of hearing to consider
the request of John Minardi, 89 New Broadway, for relief on appeal from
a decision of the Building Inspector in denying a permit on applicant's
proposal to erect an addition to the existing building on the existing
lot containing less than 4,000 sq, ft. and for a variance from the
provisions from Section 62-8B, Subsection R-4, paragraph 5 requirement
of minimum lot size of 4,000 sq, ft and for a variance from the provisions
of said Ordinance of Section 62-8B, Subsection R-4, paragraph 7 side yard
requirement of 12 feet on property known on the Tax Assessment map as
Section 17, Block 18, Lots 31 S 32.
Mr. Friere asked if there was anyone present who would like to
comment on the proposed request.
Mr. Connelly inquired of Mr. Minardi as to what the estimated cost
of the addition would be and was told about $15,000,
It was noted that Mr. Minardi submitted an affidavit containing
signatures of property owners within 200 feet of his property who were
notified of the proposed request for a variance.
