IN THE MATTER OF JOSEPH AND CARMELA DiFELICE,
WASHINGTON STREET, NORTH TARRYTOWN, NEW YORK 10591

2 91 NORTH

Mr. John Hughes is representing Joseph and Carmela DiFelice. The
DiFelices have owned this piece of property since the 1960's.
There is no new construction being done. The DiFelice's are have
a hard time selling the residence as a one family home they are
only interested in making the residence a two family home. The
area is multi-family and there is parking in the back of the
home. This would be an area variance.
Mr. McLean stated that there is multi-family in the area, parking
is a problem, but it could be taken care of.
Mr. Hughes stated that the DiFelices are elderly and would be
moving in to a nursing home. They will not be the ones handling
this job.
Public Comments
Ms. Serina Tucci, 304 North Washington Street stated that she
took out a permit to finish her basement and wanted to improve
her home. Ms. Serina stated that she is paying taxes for a three
family home. She also wanted to know when other homes were being
worked on how come she didn't receive a notice.
Ms. Serina
stated that she is opposed to this also because of the parking
situation.
Dr. Richard Sweet, 305-309 North Washington Street stated that he
has been a neighbor for 40 years. Dr. Sweet is representing the
one family homes, which he would be the last of. Most of the
homes are two and three family homes and it has increased the
parking. It is unfortunate that the only way to sell a home is to
be two family. Dr. Sweet also stated that he is not in favor of
having the additional parking on the roadway because parking is
critical.

�Ms. Kay Camilleri, 60 Pocantico Street stated that parking is
terrible and most families have more than one car.
Mr. Morabito made a motion to close the public hearing, seconded
by Mr. McLean. Motion carried unanimously.
Mr. McLean stated that he lives at 282 North Washington Street
and as for the snow storm recently, the police had used loud
speakers for people to move their cars so that the street could
be cleaned, but some of the cars are not from Washington Street.
Mr. Hughes stated that a real estate agency advised the DiFelices
that a two family may sell faster.
Mr. Anello stated that this house is not much less conforming
than other houses. The Board can require that a parking space be
made. This home will not effect a change in the neighborhood. If
the garage in the back was knocked down they would not need a
variance.
Mr. Morabito stated that other houses do not conform, he has
lived in North Tarrytown for a long time and sees nothing wrong
with granting this variance.
Mr. Morabito made a motion pursuant to SEQRA to declare this
application a Type II action which will have no material adverse
impact on the environment, seconded by Ms. Mauhs. Motion granted
unanimously.
Mr. Morabito made a motion to grant the area variance with a
stipulation that a parking space be paved and put in the
appropriate place, seconded by Ms. Mauhs.
Motion granted
unanimously.
IN THE MATTER OF AGPSTIN TRIANA. 128 CORTLANDT STREET. NORTH
TARRYTOWN. NEW YORK 10591
Mr. Hughes who is representing Mr. Triana distributed plans for a
parking proposal. Mr. Triana would like to use an entire lot for
parking which would be 21 spaces, seven are tandom style. Mr.
Triana owns both properties.
The existing property is a non-conforming rooming house. The
plans show 2 0 rooms turned into 4 apartments. The only
requirement is the parking and 27 spaces are required. 21 spaces
are given and there are two on the site. Right now there would
be 94 seats in the restaurant.
Discussion ensued regarding
parking.
Mr. Morabito made a motion to open the public hearing, seconded
by Mr. Mclean. Motion carried unanimously.

�Mercedes Llaja of 147 Depeyster street stated that if Mr. Triana
plans to do something with the place, he should do something
good. Another bar is not acceptable. Ms. Llaja's brother passed
away and left three children. The bar had caused many problems,
the police were called constantly. She feels that it should not
be granted and Mr. Triana should do something that will help the
community, not a bar.
Mr. John Cellante, president of Union Hose stated that he was not
notified of the meeting.
Mr. Anello stated that this may be considered a continuation, and
if it is not a requirement to send out new notices.
Mr. Cellante stated that something needs to be done about the
parking in the area, when people double park it is hard to get in
and out of the fire house.
Mr. Robert Moon stated that a traffic study was done but the
problem was not solved.
Ms. Mauhs made a motion to close the public hearing, seconded by
Mr. McLean. Motion carried unanimously.
Mr. Morabito stated that there is an ordinance which requires 200
feet between taverns.
This Village has enough taverns and
restaurants. The area's parking situation is very congested and
the ordinance should be enforced.
Mr. Hughes stated that he would like to postpone this application
until the following month.
It was the consensus of the Board that the application be
postponed until February 21, 1996.
IN THE MATTER OF ALBERT PECK/MARCELLO POGUIO. 15 BEDFORD ROAD.
NORTH TARRYTOWN. NEW YORK 10591

Pecks property at 15 Bedford Road. The request is for a front
yard variance. The building is going to be restored, the house
sits 60 feet from sleepy Hollow Road. There is enough parking in
the area.
This application is also going before the
Architectural Review Board.
Mr. Morabito made a motion to close the public hearing, seconded
by Mr. Mclean. Motion carried unanimously.
Mr. Anello stated that he was concerned about the A.R.B.
approval. This will be an improvement and he is in favor of the
addition.

�Mr. McLean stated that this is a good project.
Mr. Morabito made a motion pursuant to SEQRA to declare this a
Type II Action which will have no material adverse impact on the
environment, seconded by Ms. Mauhs. Motion carried unanimously.
Mr. Morabito made a motion to grant the addition as requested,
seconded by Mr. McLean.

IN THE MATTER OF MIGUEL JIMINEZ. 16 6 CORTLANDT STREET. NORTH
TARRYTOWN. NEW YORK 10591.
