Mr. Blasi replied in the affirmative, and an Affidavit of Service by registered mail with the list of all such owners was given to Chairman Afcate and made a part of the record. Mr. Henry Boyce, owner of Boyce Realty, then addressed the board. He mentioned that cars, and sometimes taxis, have driven thru on his company's lot. Mr. Boyce proceeded to explain to the Board members that another fence will be erected on the part of the property, which is in Tarxytown. *The side has already been fenced so as to protect the lot. The overhead trolley support beams for the fence and sliding gate would be of a height of 16 ft., to allow the passage of trucks into the garage. Neighbor Joseph Mann's property would be alongside of the proposed fence, it was noted, as members questioned how the fence might affect the area. Mr. Marin's name was on the list of people notified by Mr. Blasi, and on a sworn affidavit of names of all notified. An informal discussion took place between Mr.; Boyce, and Marvin Pickett, another neigHbor ^P^at which time all plans were reviewed. Mr. Pickett said he was in favor of the fence, but upset that the company' s trucks would still be visible from the street while driving by. Chairman Arcate asked if an opaque fence of a fence with slats could be a possibility. Mr. Ceconi spoke against the idea of slats on the fence, as it might encourage children to climb and break them. It was also rioted that such-slats were used by the Village in a fence at the garage with poor results. He suggested a cosmetic cover such as ivy to camouflage the open fence areas. Mr. Pickett said he was not at all against Mr. Ceconi's suggestion of the ivy, or similiar planting. Mr. Pickett was asked by the Board if a fence for Boyce Realty is preferable to its present condition? He replied in the affirmative, saying as long as Clinton Street would remain basically a*residential area,and not an industrial one. Chairman Arcate then asked if there were any further comments. There being none, Mr. Ruane made a motion, seconded by Mr. Swaby, to end the hearing which was carried '^W unanimously. �_3- : \ Business Meeting r^^Chairman Arcate called the meeting to order. He asked for members to act on whether or not a variance should be granted to Boyce Realty Co. Mr. Ceconi made a motion to grant a variance to Boyce Realty, so as to enable them to build the fence proposed in the petition for a variance. Mr. Ceconi commented that some kind of screening should be provided for neighborhood. Chairman Arcate agreed, however, no ted that this was not conditional as the board had not determined such a design provision of the fence. Counsel Robert Porizini said that as he understands the Board, the screening is not a legal condition for the granting of the variance but may be added as a required at the Board's discretion. He, however, suggested that the Board grant a variance only for the life of the fence, once constructed. If at a late date it need be removed a new variance would be needed for the new fence. ; A motion was then made to grant a variance to Boyce Realty Co. in accordance with - ^Pparagraphs 62-2 and 62-40 to construct a fence on the Clinton Street side of their lot. This motion was by Mr. Ceconi, arid seconded by Mr. Swaby. The motion was carried7unanimously. j ':-':: \ : \ Chairman Arcate then thanked all'Board members for tonight's(attendance"/.due to sucti short notice given.
