Mr. Arcate asked if there were any additions or corrections to the minutes of April 18 meeting: there were none and the Board unanimously accepted the minutes as written. In addressing the purpose of the meeting, Mr. Arcate made the following statement: The Zoning Board of Appeals commends both applicants for the development of such good quality proposals.for the use :of their land. They clearly offer the Village far-sighted and longlasting improvements to the commercial, residential, and general character of the area. These actions are entirely in keeping with the purpose and best intent of the Zoning Code. Beyond their individual proposals, the Zoning Board-of Appeals is presented with the added enhancement of viewing two coordinated proposals which have promise of serving as a model for, similar improvements on the part of other property owners. The Zoning Board'of Appeals also notes the responsiveness of the Village in taking the opportunity to solve storm water problems by the construction of street drainage. We seem to have before us the best of all conditions and the . Zoning Board of Appeals is most anxious to ensure that all steps within our collective ability to anticipate are realized so that the full benefit of such desirable improvements are brought about in the most ideal way. It would be disappointing if after such attractive plans are implemented, there remained an unresolved problem. With these views in mind and a desire to carry forward the*purpose of the Code and progress for the Village, the Zoning * Board of Appeals did not attempt an immediate decision, following the April 18 hearing, but instead met on May 4 and inspected both sites. We meet now in an effort to reach a decision. We recognize that there are two decisions before us but that due to the coordinated planning and the common problem of storm water drainage, we need to discuss both applications prior to deciding on either. The members of the Board have indicated several items of specific interest: a) Storm water drainage b) Off-street loading/unloading �c) Flow of vehicular traffic d) Applicants' control of all involved land parcels e) Definitive Village plans for street drainage improvements. The Board members expressed concern regarding storm water drainage. After some discussion it was agreed that the parties involved must submit evidence of their stated intent to construct adequate storm water drainage and submit their plans to the Building Inspector and the Village Engineer for their approval before starting work. Mr Margotta said it would be helpful to him if the Village specified the plans for new and increased storm sewers before the anticipated construction begins. Mr. Arcate commented that, based on the May 9th letter from Mayor Zegarelli (copy attached), it seemed reasonable that the Village would follow through and do the necessary work on the sewer system in a timely fashion. Referring to the variance requested by Mr.Brana, it was noted that the 1956 variance remains in effect. After some discussion by the Board,.it was agreed that it will be necessary for Mr. Brana to provide off-street parking for loading and unloading within the parking area shown on the site plan. Referring to the flow of vehicular traffic through Mr. Mangieri's property, several ideas were expressed which differed from the plan for parking and traffic flow according to the site plan. After some discussion, it was decided that the flow of traffic and the parking as shown on the site plan is probably the best possible plan for this property. It was recognized that if, after experience it was deemed necessary to change the flow it could be done so without hardship. In regard to the Brana variance, Mr. Martin Ruane made a motion to grant the variance based on the following contingent requirements: a) Building would proceed according to site plans submitted and ^. storm drainage improvement plans must be submitted for approval of the Building Inspector and the Village Engineer before start of work. b) Space to be allocated for loading and unloading on property. c) 1956 variance to remain in effect. ,. d) That the applicant controls all of the parcels of land involved and all are commited to the proposed use and site plan. Motion seconded by Mr. Paolantonio. Mr. Swaby made the motion that the Board grant approval of Mr. Mangieri's variance contingent upon the following requirements: a) Front yardsetback to be 10' father than 20' b) Common control of all parcels of land committed to this proposal and site plan. . . c) Site plan to remain as originally submitted. d) Approval of drainage plans prior to start of work. e) No change in traffic flow or parking from site plan. Motion was seconded and approved unanimously. Meeting adjourned at 9:30 on a motion by Mr. Ruane, seconded by Mr. Paolantoiiio. .--- r-- -• .-'••.":.... �-3Both variances are granted in accordance with the purpose and provisions of the Zoning Code including paragraphs 62-2 and 62-40C.

Dear John: This letter is provided as further substantiation of the Village's willingness and intention to provide for new and increased storm sewer construction for the entire length of Chestnut Street from Broadway (Route 9) to North Washington Street.

In addition, we have discussed this specific sitntation and simi 1 ar conditions in North Tarrytown with the Westchester County Deparrmpnt of Planning in our desire to help correct similar situations arid provide help in potential need and/or redevelopment.
