Mark Rubeo is an attorney from Reisman, Rubeo, & Altman, LLC and representing the applicant. Mr. Rubeo stated that the Zoning Board approved variances of the same nature two years ago. Mr. Rubeo stated that the applicant is seeking variances due to the existing front yard set-back of the garage. The applicant proposes to remove and replace the existing insulation and siding on the main house and the garage. The applicant proposes to remove and replace the existing roof and roof framing. The proposed increased height of the roof line will be architecturally and visually symmetrical to the home. The overall footprint of the home will be increased by less than one half of one percent, .42 percent. The height of the roof will be increased due to the insulation materials proposed for the installation and the information has been provided to the Village of Sleepy Hollow Building Department. The proposed application will not create any additional living space. There is no interior work proposed. The variances are not substantial. The set-back non-conformity is being increased by about six inches around the house. The eave extension will increase by about one inch, an allowable tolerance permitted by the Village of Sleepy Hollow. The proposed application will not change the character of the neighborhood as all the neighboring homes project into the front yard set-backs, and the increase height of the garage roof would not obstruct views of the neighboring properties. There will no adverse impact on the environment as the proposed materials will result in increased energy savings. 12 (ZBA 4/17/2019) �Chairman Judge solicited comments from the Board.
