                  <text>NORTH TARRYTOWN, N.Y.
January 6, 1983
A meeting was held before the Zoning Board of Appeals of the
Village of North Tarrytown, N.Y, on the above date.
Present

John Arcate, Chairman
Edward Swaby
Frank Paolantonio
Martin Ruane
Victor Page, Bldg. Inspector
Robert Ponzini, Counsel

Chairman Arcate called the meeting to order at 8:05 P.M. It
was noted that upon request of Dr. Murray L. Schole, the hearing
on his request for a variance has been postponed and will be
rescheduled at a later date.
The Zoning Board of Appeals of North Tarrytown did hold a
public hearing to consider the request of Mr. Laurentino Rodriguez,
of 56 Clinton Street, for an appeal from the decision of the
Buildine Inspector in denying a permit to finish and occupy the
second floor of the Strand Roller Skating Rink at 80 Beekman Avenue
in North Tarrytown. Such use would be in violation of the off-street
parking requirements of Section 62-14 of the Zoning Ordinances of
North Tarrytown.
The clerk read the Board1s notice of hearing to all present.
Chairman Arcate asked if anyone present wished to address the Board,
and then acknowledged no one wished to contest or speak to the Board
in regard to Mr. Rodriguez's request.
Chairman Arcate therefore, asked for a report from the Building
Inspector, Mr. Page. Mr. Page reported that this building had
formerly been a theater with a seating capacity for over 550 people.
A building permit had been granted to convert the theater into a
skating rink on the first floor with an occupancy limit of 125 people.
He explained that the number of square feet that would exist on the
proposed second floor would be equal to that of the present first floor.
Mr. Swaby asked Mr. Page what would be the construction of the
second floor. Mr. Page said it would be good construction with strong
rafters and adequate stairs and exits. He also noted that tne
plumbing would meet all requirements.
Mr. Ruane asked if all people withinj200 feet of the property had
been advised of Mr. Rodriguez's application for the second floor. Mr.
Rodriguez then presented a list of signatures along with certified
mail receipts to all property owners within 200 feet.

�-2Mr. Swaby asked if the nature of usage of the building could be
considered by the Board on the basis of any variance.
Chairman Arcate indicated that if a variance were to be granted,
the Board should consider a maximum number of people to be allowed on
the second floor.
As the property at present is commercial, and always has been,
the Board proposed that commercial usage of the building be continued
for the second floor but that no residential use be allowed.
Chairman Arcate asked for a motion'-'to end the public hearing,
which was made by Mr. Ruane, and seconded by Mr. Swaby.
BUSINESS MEETING
Chairman Arcate called the business meeting to order. He asked
the Board to consider what Mr. Swaby had asked, whether the nature of
usage of the building should be a factor or should a maximum occupancy
be prescribed.
Mr. Paolantonio said he felt the original number of people allowed,
553, when the building was a theater was much too high a number for
the building today. It was noted that at present, only 125 people are
allowed in the first floor skating rink. Mr. Paolantonio proposed
that the second floor be allowed 125 people as a maximum number of
occupancy.
Mr. Ruane asked if the second floor had a separate entrance from
the building's first floor. Mr. Rodriguez said yes, and explained to
Board members how the two floors had separate access.
Mr. Swaby moved that the Board1grant the variance with the
elimination of R-5 or any residential usage. The variance would:
1. apply to commercial business only and
2. a maximum occupancy of 125 people on each floor would be
allowed.
Mr. Paolantonio seconded the motion.
The Board then unanimously approved the variance as defined
above, and in accordance with paragraphs 62-2 and 62-40 C-l and C-2
of the Zoning Ordinances.
Chairman Arcate asked for a motion to accept the minutes of the
prior meeting which was made by Mr. Ruane, seconded by Mr. Paolantonio
and approved.
At 8:45 P.M., Mr. Ruane made a motion to end the meeting, which
was seconded by Mr. Swaby.
Respectfully submitted,
•
