PRESENT: Jerome Fine, Chairman George Fitzpatrick John Morabito Mary Galgano Frank Paolantonio Juan Pujadas James Margotta, Building Inspector Robert W. Spencer, Village Attorney Chairman Fine called the meeting to order at 8:05 P.M. 1. Informal Hearing-Zoning Clarification-Smith Memorials 418 North Broadway Chairman Fine asked William Smith Memorials to give the clerk proofs of mailing of notices to all required parties, which was done. Samuel Weiner, Esq. spoke on behalf of William Smith Memorials. The property, a two story building, is used as a business on the first floor, and as a residence on the second floor. There is a parking lot on the easterly portion of the property which is used by the business, the occupants of the apartments, visitors and neighbors. Tonight's hearing is required because of a violation served by Mr. Margotta due to cars of visitors and neighbors being parked at 418 North Broadway. The case was brought to Village court, whereupon the matter was sent to the Zoning Board for clarification due to the non-conforming use of the property. Such parking had been in use prior to the adoption of the Zoning Code in 1964, and has been used continuously since that date, said Mr. Weiner. An affidavit of Mr. William Smith was read by Mr. Weiner, in which Mr. Smith swore that since purchasing the property in 1933 he had permitted open parking for customers, residents, visitors and neighbors. This affidavit was given to the clerk. Mr. Weiner mentioned a meeting held by the Zoning Board in December, 1984, in which the Board determined that businesses associated with the monument business could continue to use the residential portion of the parcel (which includes the parking lot) as a non-conforming use. �Chairman Fine thanked Mr. Weiner for his presentation. asked if there were any comments from the public. He Mrs. Damin, 14 Dell Street, said the applicant had allowed neighbors to park in the parking lot for years, and was still allowing neighbors to park in the lot at this time. Mr. Minozzi addressed the Board. He and his brothers bought the Smith Memorial business in 1974. He confirmed that the applicant allowed neighbors to park in the lot. John Morabito made a motion to close the public hearing. motion was seconded and carried unanimously. The Business Meeting Chairman Fine said no action would be taken tonight, as matters are still at a discussion stage to give an interpretation. Chairman Fine said it seems the applicant's parking is a preexisting non-conforming use. Mr. Paolantonio said it should be seen as a non-conforming use of residential property as a commercial area. 2. Public Hearing-Pilar Quinoy, 44 Depeyster- Construction of storage shed The Clerk read the notice of tonight's public hearing to all present. Chairman Fine asked if notifications had been sent. A list of 33 names and notices was given to the clerk. Mr. Quinoy explained the family wished to replace their damaged storage shed. A building permit was filed. A neighbor had complained. Mr. Margotta had advised them of the need for a variance. Chairman Fine asked if anyone present wished to address the Board. No one responded. Mr. Morabito made a motion to close the public hearing, which was seconded and carried unanimously. Business Meeting Chairman Fine explained that Mr. Margotta had used the 25 ft. setback required for residences. He asked Mr. Quinoy that a reasonable distance from the rear line of six feet be used, to which Mr. Quinoy agreed. It was noted that there is a need for a ruling on setback requirements for all accessory buildings. The Zoning Board would recommend a six-foot setback to the Village Board. However, different zones might require different setback distances, said Mr. Paolantonio. �Mr. Pujadas said a standard is needed for all cases. It was noted that in Tarrytown different zones have different setback distances. A motion to approve placing the Quinoy's accessory building six feet from the rear line was made by Mr. Morabito, seconded, and carried unanimously. 3. Hearing-Wilma Batchelder, 215 Farrington Avenue, two-car garage The applicant filed proof of mailing of notices with the Clerk. Chairman Fine asked if anyone present wished to address the Board. Larry Sterino spoke on behalf of Mrs. Batchelder for the reconstruction of her garage with an 11 foot setback from the rear line. He said her original garage had an 11 foot setback, but she was advised by the Building Inspector that a 25-foot setback was required. He also commented that the sprinkler system requirement was of concern. Chairman Fine asked if anyone else wished to address the Board. Mr. Fitzpatrick then made a motion to close the hearing, which was seconded and carried unanimously. Business Meeting Chairman Fine explained that this request for a variance was not for a residence, thus the 25 foot setback was not required. A motion to accept the application was made Paolantonio, seconded, and carried by a unanimous vote. by Mr. Chairman Fine spoke of upcoming matters that would be of interest to the Board and its members. Chairman Fine said he had spoken to the Mayor regarding garage rear lots. Chairman Fine suggested a public hearing after the Board of Trustees has a work session.
