Chairman Arcate called the meeting to order at 8:10 P.M. and asked if anyone present wished to address the Board. Mrs. Joseph Finnegan of 154 Farrington Avenue, addressed the Board and voiced her opposition to the Poor's pool. Mrs. Finnegan feared that since this is an above ground pool, and should the pool become damaged, water would "cascade" into her kitchen and basement as there is no protection between her lot and the Poor's property. Mr. Joseph Finnegan asked that the Board not grant the appeal, as the above ground pool does not enhance the neighborhood, and asked that the Board continue to keep Philipse Manor as it is. Mr. James Margotta, 25 Merlin Avenue, said the village needs a stronger code for pools. With above ground pools, do we know how much wood is needed to support a pool? Is the design of the pool safe? Do these pools crack easily? Mr. Imre Poor asked the Board to please.grant the permit, saying he would be sure all safety measures would be taken. Should any damage occur to neighbors' properties, he would pay for any such damages. He was unaware that a building permit was needed. Chairman Arcate asked Mr. Poor if he had;signatures from . surrounding neighbors allowing the pool's construction. Mr. Poor gave a list with two neighbors signatures and told the Board no other neighbors had voiced any opposition. Chairman Arcate expolainecT to?Mr. Poor-that the code ^required signatures from all neighbors within 200 feet of the Poor's residence must be given as written evidence that they were aware of theJ hearing. �-2Proof of registered letters (receipts) from the Post Office indicating all such.parties had received'notice of the intended plans by the Poors for the pool. Board member Mr. Ceconi asked whether Mr. Poor had understood these ground rules in applying for ahrappeal. Chairman4Arcate said \tonight's meeting could serve no purpose until they had evidencefthat the%Poors had met this ruling. Attorney Ponzini explained that the Board could not legally allow or handle the matters presented tonight. At 8:35 P.M. the Board went into their business meeting session. . Chairman Arcate said it was clear that the notice was sufficiently explained to the JEJoors prior to.tonight's meeting, ; but that the Poors had come inadequately prepared. There were two options: (1) deny the application, or-(2) suspend tonight's hearing and resume at a later date. A special hardship is needed in granting a variance. Mr. Swaby said that he saw no'evidence of hardship or special topographical conditions at the Poor's lot. Chairman Arcate then said as code requirements had not been met, the application was incomplete and must be denied. Mr. Swaby made a motion that the Board dismiss the Poor's application for an appeal to obtain a building permit due to an incomplete application and lack of sufficient evidence to justify the granting of a variance. The Board voted to deny the appeal .;., unanimously as failing to satisfy paragraphs 62-2, 62-25 and 62-40 of the code. A motion was then made by Mr. Paolantonio and seconded by Mr. Ruane to accept the minutes of the previous meeting. All voted in favor. Mr. Swaby read the ruling'from the Zoning Board's Rules and , Ordinances on swimming pools, and said he felt the Village Board of Trustees should be referred to this ruling, which needs to be clearer. Mr. Margotta said he felt the Building Inspector needs to be given more details to go by when permits are submitted for pools. He suggested that plans on how a pool will look once installed be required as a means of quality control. There being no further business, Mr. Paolantonio made a motion to adj ourn tonight's hearing, which was seconded by Mr. Ruane, and unanimously passed. Respectfully submitted, (^UU^U-^L. # Lirida T.
