Present: [(f John Arcate, Chairman Aldo Ceconi Frank Paolantonio Martin Ruane Victor Page, Building Inspector Robert Ponzini, Village Attorney The Zoning Board of Appeals of the Village of North Tarrytown held a public hearing on Thursday, September 30, 1982, to consider the request of Paul Kyriakides, 13 Barnhart Avenue, for an appeal from a decision of the Building Inspector that denied a permit for erecting a two story extension to the rear of the house, as it would have violated provisions of the Zoning Ordinance. Chairman Arcate called the meeting to order at 8:10 P.M. The clerk read the public notice to all present. Chairman Arcate then asked if anyone wished to address the Board. Mr. Nick Mascia, of 53 Rosehill Avenue in Tarrytown, who drew the plans for the Kyriakides spoke for him. He told the Board that the extension to the house would beautify both the interior and.exterior of the building. He said the Kyriakides family need an additional bedroom for their children and a dining room. All Board members carefully studied the floor plan. Chairman Arcate noted that the Board required evidence, to hold a valid hearing, of notice to,all property owners within 200ft. of the Kyriakides residence. Mr. Kyriakides said he and his wife had circulated a notice to all such neighbors, which they had signed, and that the list had been given to the Village Clerk. That was then shown to Chairman Arcate and the Building Inspector, and was determined to be satisfying the Code's requirements. Chairman Arcate also acknowledged that no one was present to contest the variance. Chairman Arcate asked if the failure of granting the variance would cause a hardship. Mr. Kyriakides said yes, it would cause a hardship as it would not be practical to extend the house within the side yard requirements. The extension being sought would cover more than 35%, the maximum permitted yard coverage, and would violate the side yard requirement of the Zoning Ordinances. The side yard requirement by the Village Codes in this case would be 5 feet on one side, and 15 feet altogether. The Kyriakides house at present has only 3 feet on one side, 1 foot on the other side, for a total of only 4 feet. The Village Building Code calls for a minimum rear setback of 25ft. In the plan shown for the extension on the Kyriakides' lot, the rear ~&J5£iv 45t .-J? .iijvs^^*ifeiJi«"i.-.*. *& Jia i-J -V;—~&J££~-=Ar~^ *i«a^.saw^*S**iS&3S&i �setback would be 32ft. As the rear yard requirement would be met, and there is no residence behind the Kyriakides house, the addition being sought would not change or alter meeting Zoning Board Section 62-7B. It was then asked if this addition would increase the value of the building by 25%, as by Section 62-25A this is not allowed. The Building Inspector advised the Board that such an increase in value would not occur thus meeting the aforementioned regulation. Attorney Ponzini asked if anyone who had signed the petition had said they were against the proposed construction? Mr. Kyriakides replied no. Chairman Arcate then moved to close the public hearing, which was seconded by Mr. Ruane, and carried by a unanimous vote. Business Meeting Mr. Ruane made a motion that the Zoning Board•ofrAppeals grant the variance being sought to Mr. Kyriakides of 13 Barnhart Avenue, North Tarrytown. Mr. Ceconi seconded the motion, and it was carried by a : unanimous vote. . - " . This variance, said Chairman Arcate, was granted on;the basis of evidence in accordance with Section 62-40-C, subparagraph 1. As there are special circumstances pertaining to this building, and due to the narrowness of this lot, this is the only means of extending the house. Extending the house along its present sidewalls is the most preferable : way for achieving the additional space needed. The rear yard setback required is 25ft., which will be exceeded, at 32ft. Such relief can be granted without causing hardship to the public in accordance with the code paragraphs 62-2, 62-25 and 62-40. The business session continued, and Chairman Arcate asked if there was any old or new business for the Board to consider. Chairman Arcate then brought to the attention of all Board'members a letter received from Mr. Giovanni Volpacchio who wishes to cut the curb in front of his lot for a 32ft. entrance to his driveway. This 32ft. curb cut request is 7ft. over the 25ft. allowed. Attorney Ponzini then read to all Board members Section 62-14, which provides that driveway curb openings may not exceed 25 feet. It was decided that the Board will answer Mr. Volpacchio's letter and if he so wishes, he may apply for a variance. There being no further business, a motion to adjourn the meeting at 9:15 P.M. was made by Mr. Ruane, seconded by Mr. Ceconi and was carried by a unanimous vote.
