This is an eight family home and the owner would like to increase this home with a one room addition. This would fit in the building itself. This addition isfillingin a section of the building that have two sides that are existing. This would be a low impact of additional exposure. Only a couple of hundred square feet on one floor, on thefirstfloor of the building in the back is six feet above grade. Mr. Anello asked what the length and width is? Mr. Barstow stated 12 x 14 ft. Mr. Margotta stated that he needs several variances. All the homes in the area have preexisting conditions. The home is built to the side line. What would the 12 x 14 used for? Mr. Annelo asked if the extension of existing kitchen its too small. Mr. Molina stated that he wanted to make a dining room and a kitchen. Mr. Barstow stated that there will not be a new bedroom. Mr. Barstow stated that the applicants apartment needs additional space because he has a large family, six children. Mr. Molina stated that It is a three bedroom unit. This is an eight family home. Discussion ensued regarding each apartment. 1 �Mr. Anello asked if all the apartments are occupied. Mr. Molina stated yes. Mr. Barstow stated that one variance is for parking. The code states that 1 parking space for each bedroom and Vz parking for each additional bedroom. Parking has been in thefrontyard area. It has been there since Mr. Molina purchased the building in 1982. There are hedges between the parking and the street. Mr. Anello's initial concerns is that he is not comfortable with the amount of information received. He would like to know the layout of the building. For instance the sizes of the families and sizes of the apartments. Wants to be sure there is a good reason to grant an area variance. Most of the 14 spaces are not included under the zoning code and parking on lawn is not allowed. Discussion ensued. Spaces are laid out for a typical parking space. Mr. Anello asked if all spaces are 9 x 20, he would also like to know more about the building. Plans are not accurate. Mr. Barstow stated that he has to clarify the parking requirement. He will have to double check the numbers. Mr. Barstow stated that he has copies of village records. The Board would like to know when the building became and eight family home. Mr. Margotta stated that is an eight family home. The Zoning Board moved to open the public comments. Mrs. Judith Washburn of 180 No. Washington St. stated that Mr. Molina tried to put an addition on a while back. She was concerned about the density of the development of that piece of property. This is a dense area already. Also Mrs. Washburns main concern is that if construction occurs, who is going to monitor it? A lot of cars are parked on this property and mechanical work is begin done. Cars on College avenue are double parked all the time, she knows there are children around and is concerned for their safety. Mr. Jiminez asked if Ms. Washburn made complaints to the Building Inspector. Mrs. Washburn responded that it is on record with the Zoning Board. ( Mr. Fine was the chairman at that time). Mrs. Mary PetcofFof 27 College Avenue is a neighbor who stated she doesn't understand the zoning proposition. According to the letter there is not enough space left. Mr. Anello stated that most houses do not conform. Most houses do not fit into the Zoning Code. If anyone wants to make a change they would have to come for a variance. 2 �Mr. Lomoscolo stated that all houses in the area are too close to the street, should that prevent someonefromnot putting on extensions, or allow kitchen additions just because the house is too close to the street? Mr. Jiminez stated that things happened so many years ago, this Board has the power to make changes at the residents requests. Ms. PetcofF feels that there are too many people living there now. Too many houses its over crowded. There are four families in her house which is on the corner. Mr. Mario Belanich of 153 No. Washington St. asked if any parking spaces will be taken away. Mr. Barstow stated no. Mr. Molina has three cars parked in the garage This house originally was a three family house years ago. In 1992 Mr. Molina wanted to put an addition on but it was turned down. Mr. Belanich was in the house before the 1960's and then it was a three family home. Mr. Margotta stated that now it is a legal eight family home, he wiil also look it up in his records and let the Village Attorney know. Mr. Belanich also wanted to know why the size of the addition is not included in the notice. It was stated that this is not a requirement. Mr. Ugo Checchi of 51 College Ave. stated that he was the Plumbing Inspector for the previous owner. When Mr. Checchi was in the home it was a 3-4 family. He stated that his garages were not used for parking they are used for car repairs. Mr. Checchi feels he should not have permission to have more additions. Also this property used to be a college dormitory for the girls back in the 1940's. Mrs. Washburn stated that her main concern is the density. There is parking on the plans that do not exist. It should have the required lines and the works of a parking lot. The property is also lower than the other properties in the area she does not want water problems to arise. Mr. Jiminez made a motion to close the public hearing, seconded by Mr. Lomoscolo. Motion carried unanimously. Mr. Barstow asked if an extension could be granted. Unanimously the Zoning Board agreed to extend the hearing until the October meeting. 3 �£ ^ IN THE MATTER OF EDUARDO VERA, NORTH TARRYTOWN, NEW YORK 10591 Mr. Ron Turnquist stated that he is the architect for the applicant. The addition comes to the rear, the basement is another room. Levels two and three there is a kitchen and bathroom additions. The proposed stairwell is between the basement and thefirstfloor. The living room and dining room setback requirement are being met. Mr. Anello asked if there was parking. Mr. Turnquist stated that it is a two family and there are two spaces The work would be done on thefrontof the building thefrontdoor would be relocated to the porch. The tax rolls show the home as being two family and only one family is living there. The applicant is anxious to create this extension. The permitted use is two family and there is a certificate of occupancy for a two family home. The addition meets the present requirement. Three feet six inches on the one side. Mr. Anello asked if parking was paved. Mr. Turnquist stated yes. Mr. Anellos stated that the board was ready for public comments. Being no public comment Mr. Jiminez made a motion to close the public hearing. It was the consensus of • the board to close the hearing. Mr. Jiminez made a motion to approve this application because all the requirements are being complied with. DISCUSSION Mr. Turnquist stated that there is a garage stucco finish. Lomoscolo stated that the house seems to be in an area of two family homes and feels this application should be granted. This type of application should be granted. Mr. Jiminez made a motion to approve the application, seconded by Mr. Lomoscolo. Motion carried unanimously. t �m THE MATTER OF RAMON MISLE 75 COLLEGE AVENUE, NORTH TARRYTOWN, NEW YORK Mr. Turnquist, the Architect stated that he was here for two variances, one is for an addition to the existing residence and for a new garage. Side and rear yard variances are needed. The setback requirements are identical to the proposed addition. The existing foundation is adequate to construct a room. The applicant would also like a deck that would be in compliance with the Zoning Code. He is requesting the same type of variance, because it is non-conforming. The present status of the back area is a large parking lot, which belongs to the old Tarrytown Daily News. The garage would protect the cars and would also prevent people from parking on the owners lot. There is a n easement on the property. The Tarrytown Daily News lot have large equipment in the yard. The applicant would like something to protect the property and have a demarcation between the two properties. Mr. Turnquist showed pictures to the Board. The requirements are the same for a C-2 zone. Mr. Lomoscolo made a motion to close the public hearing, seconded by Mr. Jiminez. Motion carried unanimously. DISCUSSION Mr. Jiminez stated that he sees no problem with the application because it meets all of the requirements. Ms. Moiron stated that she did not see a problem with the application. Mr. Lomoscolo stated that a garage on the property doesn't appear to be pushing into someone else's back yard. Sincere there are commercial vehicles in the back yard a garage would also serve as a buffer. Mr. Anello stated that this is in a commercial zone, not residential. This will not increase or decrease the density and parking is adequate. This looks like it will not be out of character. 5 �Mr. Jiminez made a motion to grant the variance for the garage and the addition, seconded by Mr. Lomoscolo. • Being no further business the meeting was adjourned.
