(2) Also to consider the request of Stephen and Patricia Maceyak, 13 Elm Street for an appeal from the Building Inspector's denial of a permit for the erection of a swimming pool as it would violate Section 62, subsection 17, paragraph B of the Zoning Ordinances, as this pool would be erected within 5ft. of their easterly and westerly property line instead of the required 10ft. sideyard setbacks. Vice Chairman Swaby called the meeting to order at 8:10 P.M. The clerk then read the public notice of the Shafer's request to all present. Mr. Swaby asked if anyone "present wished to address the Board regarding this request. Mr. Shafer addressed the Board and told how he wished to add a bedroom to their house, which would be constructed off of their kitchen, and with another bedroom above, and a 2-car garage. It is the garage for which a variance is being sought. As their lot is triangular, it restricts the use of their land"and how they are able to build on an addition. Mr. Shafer explained they would continue the outer decor on the new rooms in the same style as the house is in now, and that the lot would remain basically unchanged. Mr. Schafer read a letter to the Board members from neighbors Thomas and Gail Brown saying they were in favor of the proposed house expansion by the Shafers. He also presented a list of signatures from all neighbors within 200ft. of the house, and of other neighbors inJthe area showing their acknowledgement: of tonight's meeting and that they have no objection to the Shafer's plans for the 2-car garage. Mr. Shafer said the site plans were in the hands of Mr. Page. Mr. Beck of 115 Hunter Avenue, asked that the Board grant the variance to the Shafers. At this point, a motion was made by Mr. Paolantonio to close the public hearing, which was seconded by.Mr. Ruane, and was carried by a unanimous vote. The Board then went into a closed session. �Mr. Paolantonio noted the difficulty of working with a lot shaped such as the shafers, and that they were limited by this factor. He voiced a strong approval for granting the variance. The Board temporarily suspended a decision while Mr. Ponzini verified some legal matters. The Board then returned to public session after Mr. Ruane made such a motion, which was approved by all. The Clerk read the public notice to all present regarding the request from Mr. & Mrs. Maceyak. Mr. Page explained to all how the Maceyak's lot has a narrow 26ft. lot and is unable to meet the 10ft. sideyard'setback. His lot is of an unusual size, Mr. Page noted. The pool would be approximately 35ft. from the back property line, and pool would measure 18'xl2I and would be 4ft. deep. Mr. Maceyak presented a list of signatures from neighbors within 200ft. of their residence, showing no objections to the pool. At present they have an 8ft. high fence around their lot. A fence will also be built around the pool. This pool will have retractable steps which can be locked into place, making the pool inaccessible. Mr. Ruane made a motion to close the public session and enter into private, which was seconded by Mr. Paolantonio. Vice-Chairman Swaby asked if there were any further items to consider regarding the variance for the Shafer*s lot. No further comments were made. He then said as the Board is in favor of granting the variance, a motion was needed. Mr. Paolantonio made the motion, which was seconded by Mr. Ceconi and the vote was unanimous. The following was drawn up as the basis on which the variance was granted by Attorney Ponzini. "Whereas Lynn and Patterson Shafer have applied for a variance from Section 62, subsection 8B, paragraph 7, requiring a 25V setback from a rear line and whereas, said applicants have sought permission to construct a 2-car garage, and Whereas, there are practical difficulties in the way of carrying out the strict letter of said provisions of the Zoning Ordinance of North Tarrytown, and Whereas, the strict application of the ordinance would deprive the applicant of the reasonable use of said property, and Whereas, due notice having been served and no residents or property owners within 200 feet having objected at the public hearing on said application, Now therefore be it resolved: That the application of Lynn and Patterson Shafer be granted, permitting the erection of a ^?c a r ; garage oh the southeast corner of the property designated'as Section :14, Block 4, Lot.l W on the Village Tax map within 5' of the property line of said property. Said construction subject to the continuing approval of the Building Inspector and the Zoning Code of the Village of North Tarrytown. Mr. Ceconi asked that the following be put in the minutes. �* \ * - 3 - • Congratulations to both Ed Swaby and John Arcate (in absentia) on becoming grandparents. # The Board then started discussing the Maceyak's application for a variance. Mr. Ruane entertained the motion to grant the variance, which was seconded by Mr. Paolantonio, and the vote was unanimous, based on the following written decision drawn up by Attorney Ponzini: Section 62, subsection 17, paragraph B:"Now therefore be it ; resolved that the application be granted permitting the erection of a swimming pool not to exceed 15' in diameter and not less than 5' from the westerly line: of5;said,property designated as: Section 15, Block 6, Lot 15 of the Official Tax Map of the Village of North*Tarrytown.

Futhermore, said variance 'is personal in nature to the applicants herein; that upon sale,.transfer, lease or devise of the property, said variance•shall terminate automatically by operation of law and such successors in interest shall be required to remove said swimming pool without notice." Mr. Ruane made a motion to accept the minutes of the Board's last meeting. There being no further business, Mr. Paolantonio then made amotion to end tonight's meeting at 10:00 P.M. which was seconded by Mr. Ceconi, and unanimously agreed upon.
