Page, Building Inspector t Mr. Ponzini, Village Attorney' Fir'st Hearings ^olari Letter addressed to Mr. Donald M, Walsh,Sr. read. i Mr. Walsh asked for adjournment because he had no plans to submit. He finds ifchat Fir. Solari can jput up the building he wants according to the laws of the village. Mr. V/alsh will have the plans at the next board meeting and plans will meet all the zoning laws. Margotta: We have to have some kind of a time table for this building. When will the building be put up? Reminds Mr. Walsh that a building permit is only good for one year, Mr. Solari has not complied;with past requirementsnow he wants another extension. These delayingWetic will delay a decision for a few more weeks, I would like to dispose of this item now, Swaby Kar gotta give us a time table. When is he going to submit the plans? If we keep putting his off, it v/ill go on for another year, Ceconi How can he build another building on this lot? Page Mr. Solari has four parcels of land (made a sketch) He has the square footage for a building if he maintains the set backs. �~2~ Swaby & Ceconi - what about parking spaces? We are not clear concerning the parking spaces created by Mr. Solari on his property. Page Margoft& * 1st building will eleminate front yard parking, Mr, Solari must have proper set back for drive way,etc. However, he finds there are no violations of the village code. If Mr, Solari has any violations now we can hold up his building plans, Ceconi I am under the impression that Mr, Solari has over built on his one piece of property and therefore cannot build on the other, Swaby lets look over the variances to see if they incorporate the k lots owned by Mr, Solari, Ceconi give this man time so that we can check up about these variances Swaby Shall we dispose of this by extending the Uime? Margotta I still want some kind of time table concerning these plans, Friere why not give him to the 1st, of April? Kargotta I would like to know when tiill he start building Solari I will submit my plans on March 14th, I can start right away - but I have trees to cut;. Walsh We will submit plans by March 15th, By the middle of April we will start to build. But weather is a factor concerning time, March 15- plans to be submitted to building inspector April 15 excavation unzini f in my judgement building of new house will clear up any existing violations �-3Geconi - Is it .true that Mr. Solari has three families on this property? Isn't this property zoned for two Families? I am under the impression, through the Webber Park Association that there are these violations, as well as, parking violations. I would like to look at the minutes of this board's meeting at the time of the granting of Mr. Solari's permit. Swaby Since there is no further discussion, I move to extend the time to I/jarch 14th for submitting plans. Grant building permit by April 15th - if building permit can be granted.

What will you be doing six months from Mow? What is your square footage now? Kallory gave the total square footage of its present building. They do not have any other future plans, Tvlareotta describe they type of building you want to erect Kallory a cement block building - immediately behind the loading dock,, entrance outside of building Page the building would be in the area of the old filtering station, Swaby what will be stored in thei building? Mallory building will house 1,hydraulic pump 2,barrels 3.tank for our scrubbers. Scrubbers have a holding tank - we need one room for these, Sv/aby is there something of a factory addition here? Mallory No. Audience Is anything explosive going to be stored in the building? Is the building for storage or not? Ivlallory Hydraulic fluid is not Explosive, No one will be working htere, The 3rd, room will house the fluid. Audience What about noise? We hear noises in the middle of the night - why? t m Ssifisasseiai^ Hydraulic system is for the existing system �Margotta these people in the audience are people living near your plant and they have come here before with same complaints of noise - what are you going to do about that? These complaints are just a matter of housekeeping on your part, Mallory There should not be any noise. Margotta Your plant is in a residential area. You have a responsibility to take care of the compalints made by these peopleliving in the area, Audience when we have complaints conceErning the noise we have phoned the plant, Sometimes the people there hang up the phone on us-sometimes they don't seem to understand what we are talking about. The blowers go on - sometimes to 3A.M, Mallory the machines are to be turned off at 6?30 PtM. °ome machines are on the other side of the building where they should not annoy anyone. °ome equipment must be kept on, Swaby we get these applications periodically from you, V/e need some master £lan from hou. If we comtinue to grant one variance after another, we are upsetting the idea of the Planning Baord, Every corporation has some ideas of their future planning, I^argotta could t£is equipment you plan to put into this new building be put outside? f.Iallory yes it could - but this"would make for more noise, Kargotta (to the audience) would you rather have this exposed or cohered ? Audience we have no objection to a building - v/e just object to the noise, larp-otta Kallory should be aware of these compalints made by the residents of this area, . These compalints are a matter of housekeeping on Kaliory.'s part. �Mallory we will try to curb the noise and we want fehe residents to let us kmow of any violations, Ceconi asks fvlallory to work with these people (residents of the area) to work out ansv/ers to their complaints, Friere could machines have some kind of time clocks DUt on them? Kallory we will take action on these complaints and suggestions Margotta makes motion to grant variance. Seconded by Swaby, Passed by Ceconi, U bvJxJUCJ*-^ t(£ «^<-4_ �3rd. Hearing William Williams Ivkrch 5, 1979 Order of the Zoning Saard of Appeals read Lawyer for Mr. Williams read Mr. William's petition and described the property as unique. There was no building permit issued by the current building inspector, Mr. Williams was ill at the time the violation was issued by Mr. Page. Mr, Williams could not respond at that time. However, violations papers were picked up by Mr. William's daughter a few weeks after the papers were issued, The lawyer stressed the fact that all the neighbors "directly surrounding the property have -given their OK for the building. Swaby When you describe the p roperty as unique, don't you mean that it is non-conforming? Lawyer Variance requires a 20 ft. rear set back on the Property. However, the back of the house backs up to railroad ties, Swaby What happens if we grant this variance to Kr. Williams to change his buildings to meet these family ;~ ." needs and then he decides he no longer wants to live there? Lawyer His family now lives on the property with thesie. families, They would go on living there. Swaby Building on this p roperty has been going on for years Ceconi without building permits or variances. There have been building violations that Mr, Williams has ignored. Lawyer refered to letter Written by John Cavalieri stating he would have no objection to any further /building. (Mr. Cavalieri has property directly behind Mr. Williams*)' '~A'^->-'J^;wd?^faial&-3hi^BsSi^ r^ < �Swaby In 1978, it was discolored that a building was going on. Then it was a concrete block wall,. IT. "Williams wa^s notified that here could be no further ; '/building until he received a variance to build. After a short time building was resumed and then there was a second variance, I age John Cavalieri's letter gives permission for building repairs. These are not repairs but construction (non-conformity, 196*f ordinance) Denied permit according to the code of the village. .Vargotta we allowed the building of a ,[,. one story building. You now call it a playroom for his children. Lawyer Children are now adults.. This "playroom" is used to house expensive musical equipment.. lr Page This is not a ;"/playrooffl";but a bar", Additions are going on ,'.:;:,. with each hew variance. Buildings are going up without building permits Friere V/e are also concerned the the set-back of the property. Ilargotta There is also a three story building on the property with very little distance between the adjoining buildings or the property line. Should'v/e also be concerned with fire regulations? How would thesefpeople get out in case of fire? There are no fire escapes. Friere • I don't think it is our concern at this hearing about fire regulations The whole board agreed that ."the sketches submitted by li. Williams and his lawyer were very difficult to understand; V �3- Kargotta put off hearing, for a v/ee'k - or so- so that the board members can go to see this property and understand exactly v/hat is being built and what is being asked for Ceconi I don't like to see this open defi.ance of the lawthe law's and codes of this village. You must get a building permit and if necessary a variance from this board, I want a guarantee there W i l l be no work done until an inspection by the board.
