Present: Mayor Frank J. Rey James J. Timmings, III Sean Treacy Morris Alter James J. Nazemetz Michael Hyland John T. Hayes, Jr. Trustees Also Present: William T. Regan, Village Administrator Robert J. Ponzini, Village Attorney Mayor Rey called the meeting to order with a pledge to the flag. Mayor Rey asked everyone to remain standing for a moment of silence for Sgt. Booth's son Bill who passed away recently. Mayor Rey presented a plaque to Willie Haggerty, caretaker for the Village, who will be retiring at the end of November, after thirty-eight years of service to the Village. Tarrytown1s Mayor Eileen Pilla addressed the Board with regard to the Tappan Zee East Scenic District and hoped that North Tarrytown will join with them in becoming the final link at the northern end by passing the resolution on the agenda tonight. Public Hearing Mayor Rey stated this hearing was a continuation of the one held at the last meeting regarding the rear yard setback requirement. Jerry Fine, Chairman of the Zoning Board, commented that" the purpose of the hearing is to bring the code up to date. The minimum rear yard setback requirement is not in the code and should be established. The Zoning Board's recommendation is a six (6) foot setback. He presented a diagram representing property lines and front and side setbacks. Several residents, Mr. Cicchetti, Ms. Hunter and Mr. Caetano felt that the setback requirement should be more than the proposed six feet. Six feet causes congestion lowering the value of property. They felt that the six foot setback would be too close to other homes making them less attractive when it is time to sell. The question of the safety factor arose again with regard to a fire. More discussion ensued among the trustees who felt the same way as these residents. One resident, Mr. Belanich commented that the setback should be the same on all sides. 1 �I Mr. Fine stated that he spoke to the Fire Chief as far as a truck getting in and out; they have ample hose to get through the yard. Mr. Fine commented that the purpose of this hearing was to revise the code which is thirty years old and establish a rear yard setback requirement, whatever the number may be. Timothy Coon submitted the attached letter stating his opposition to the six foot setback. The Mayor recommended that the minimum rear yard setback requirement be twenty-five feet and anyone who did not meet this requirement could file an appeal before the Zoning Board. There being no further comments, Trustee Timmings moved to close the public hearing, second by Trustee Alter and carried 6-0. Trustee Timmings moved to reject the proposed six foot rear yard setback, seconded by Trustee Treacy and carried 6-0. Trustee Timmings moved to call for a public hearing on December 17, 1991 for the purpose of establishing a rear yard setback of twenty-five feet, second by Trustee Alter and motion carried 6-0. Approval of Minutes Trustee Hyland moved to approve the minutes of November 6, 1991 seconded by Trustee Treacy. Mayor Rey stated that there was one correction under Approval of Warrants, the vote was 4-1; with that correction, motion carried 6-0. Approval of Warrants Trustee Hyland moved to approve the warrant and authorize the Treasurer to pay the bills, seconded by Trustee Nazemetz and motion carried 5-1 with Trustee Treacy voting NO, Trustee Treacy commented that he has been voting No on the approval of the warrants because he feels that the level of spending is* too high. Total of the General Fund is $81,347.00 and the Water Department Fund is $54,768.17. Communications, Petitions and Requests Attached correspondence was read from the Fire Council regarding action that took place at their monthly meeting of November 12. Trustee Hyland moved to approve the action taken, seconded by Trustee Timmings and motion carried 6-0. Mayor Rey received a letter of thanks from Mary Vizvary on behalf of her family, thanking the Board for renaming the Devries field in memory of her brother Joe Quattro. The Mayor received a copy of a memo from Sgt. Ferguson to Chief Brophy regarding the graduation of Officer Nevelus from D.A.R.E. program. Officer Nevelus was commended by his teachers on a job well done. (Copy of memo placed in Officer Nevelus' file) Tarrytowner•s and Proud of It are holding a joint celebration with North Tarrytown on December 15, 1991 at noon at the Hilton. 2 �HP Public Comments Mario Belanich asked if the Beekman Avenue sidewalk project has been paid for*. The Administrator stated that it has not been paid, due to the fact that the County is checking with the contractor on .certain questionable areas. Mr. Belanich commented that if the vacant position of Mr. Shah is not filled, the taxpayers could save money. Trustee Treacy stated that we are paying Mr. Shah on a consultant basis now and we do need to fill this position. Mr. Regan commented that the number of full time employees is the same as it has been for many years, except for an Administrator. Mr. Cicchetti commented that he heard the Mayor had approached the Town Supervisor with regard to the possibility of building homes on Peabody field and wanted to know if the town had any objections. The Mayor stated that Mr, Meehan told him that the town would consider the issue once something was proposed between the village and the school district. Mr. Cicchetti asked if there was any further discussion with GM on the PILOT agreement. Our Attorney commented he has written a letter to ,the attorney for General Motors and the attorney for the school district and is waiting to hear from them. Mr. Cicchetti asked if the Board discussed using the revenue gained from the increase in the County sales tax for property tax relief at the last work session. The Mayor commented no, due to the fact that there were two trustees absent; Trustee. Treacy suggested that it be put on the agenda for the next work session. Mr. Caetano wanted to know who is using the Tenants' patrol vehicle; the Mayor commented the Auxiliary Police. He also asked if the Police contract is still in arbitration; the Mayor commented yes. Trustee Alter commended the Police department for their quick response to his home when a woman who was visiting became ill. Trustee Hyland moved to close the public comment section, second by Trustee Alter and motion carried 6-0.

Trustee Treacy reported that Chairman Pilla called a meeting of the consortium. Seven communities are in the process of reviewing the cable franchise agreement and there are several areas that need to be looked at and the members will come back to the Board with suggestions.

Grant money is no longer available through the state but Mr. Regan will be sending a letter to the County DOT asking that Continental Street be added to the Federal-Aid Urban Systems Program (FAUS). The Administrator stated there is a need for executive session to discuss labor negotiations, labor grievances and personnel items. Village Attorney commented that the bidding requirements for construction and purchase contracts will be raised significantly in January 1992 and suggested the Village wait until then if we had any bids coming up.

At that time, the matter was tabled for continuation. I have also just learned that at a recent work session this matter was discussed and that it may very well come to a vote at tonight's meeting. Unfortunately, due to business commitments, I am not available to attends tonight's meeting but do wish to express my opinion with respect to this proposed zoning change or amendment for consideration by the Board prior to any vote. I �p&£> 11/19/91 17:44 ©914 683 6956 BLEAKLEY PLATT Mayor Frank Rey November 19/ 1991 Page 2 The history behind this proposed amendment extends back over 1 1/2 years when Louis Falasca applied for a variance for purposes of building an accessory building consisting of, what I have been told, a four bay garage. Such an application was denied by the building department on the basis that it violated existing codes and the Zoning Board refuged to issue the required variance for this proposal. Thereafter, the Zoning Board engaged the services of a consulting engineer for purposes of reviewing the code. This consulting engineer determined that the entire zoning code of the Village of North Tarrytown was outdated and needed to be revamped• The engineer specifically referenced the rear yard and side yard setbacks for an accessory building, although, one must suspect that this consultant was looking at specific areas as directed by the Zoning Board and its Chairman. This matter came up for a public hearing this fall and was tabled as a result of the dramatic and resounding outcry by the public with respect to such an amendment. What was apparent from this public hearing was the Zoning Board Chairman clearly advocating the position of an Individual citizen by his advancing this proposed amendment. Apparently recognizing that this amendment would not be approved, the Zoning Board Chairman then proposed that the zoning code be amended so as to provide for a rear yard setback of six feet. The net effect of this six feet would be to allow a variance up to three feet from the property line when one desires to build an accessory building on their property. Again, this is a blatant attempt by the Zoning Board Chairman to amend the code so as to, meet a specific need of an individual citizen In disregard to the adverse effect such an amendment would have to the rights of other property owners. When discussing this amendment, there has never been any valid argument set forth for such a narrow setback from the property line for purposes of building an accessory building. If anything, such an amendment will have an adverse effect on property values and the enjoyment of the property throughout the Village of North Tarrytown. The Board must recognize that the proposed amendment will have a dramatic effect on the residents of both Manors and other areas within the Village. The economic conditions in today's real estate market together with the citizens' concern regarding the school district have already resulted in a dramatic decrease in property values. To allow construction of accessory buildings virtually on the property lines will serve no purpose other than to further reduce property values within the Manor, The current ©004 �11/19/91 17:45 © 9 1 4 683 6056 BLEAKLEY PLATT Mayor Frank Rey November 19, 1991 Page 3 property owners will also be adversely affected In that their quiet enjoyment of their own property will be adversely effected. One shallow argument being proffered to support this amendment is that it would allow the property owner who wishes to build an accessory building to use mbre of his property by allowing the construction of the building close to the property line. This argument fails to consider the adjoining property owner's right to enjoy his property. If one considers the effect of having an accessory building built on the property line upon your own use of your private property, one will recognize that by passing the ordinance as proposed, the non-building property owner will be the one adversely affected. This would only create undue hardship, loss of quiet enjoyment of one's property and a bevy of lawsuits. I urge this Board to strongly consider the adverse impact of this proposed amendment. Particularly, when the proposed amendment is being set forth by Jerry Pine, the Chairman of the Zoning Board, for the enrichment of an individual citizen, Louis Falasca. Perhaps, the best way to proceed is to have Jerry Fine state, at a public hearing, his justifications for such a proposal. It is unfair to expect the general public to respond fully to such an amendment when thefor proposer his rationale at a Thank you giving has thisnever your stated corisj^deration. public hearing. Very xruly yours, TIMOTHY V y/COON TPCssam cci William Regan Board of Trustees �Village of North Tarrytown Master Plan Analysis r Prepared by: James J. Nazemetz/Trustee November 19,1991 �I \ r Overview: The current Master Plan for North Tarrytown dates from April, 1980. Much has happened in the eleven year span. This was a time when many members of the community were able to increase their disposable income. Yet, the dominant trend was to spend that income away from local markets. The absence of an upscale marketplace in North Tarrytown resulted in our failure to capture some of those discretionary dollars. With attention diverted away from the community, there was a marked Sack of interest to pursue the Master Plan. Master Plan Analysis: This Plan is concerned mainly with the downtown area of North* Tarrytown: Beekman Avenue, Valley and Cortland Streets, and adjacent areas, i.e., Chestnut Street, Barnhart Park and Broadway, among others. Traffic surveys, while considering the impact on downtown business and residential areas, leave much to be determined by future surveys. The Plan's primary focus is on rehabilitation of existing buildings within the downtown envelope/This also includes signage in sympathy with the architectural style of the buildings. The creation of parking behind Beekman Avenue, with walkways accessible to shopping areas is a key concept of the Plan. _«__--__„»_«-«_--_-_«_».__«. November 19,1991 �r "\ In short, the plan is an overhaul of the commercial areas of North Tarrytown. The objective, along with street beautification, is to develop an attractive, "user friendly" shopping area, to draw new consumers (and their increased disposable income) into the downtown area. With this as the objective, new and existing merchants could upgrade their goods and services to meet the requirements of these consumers and, hopefully stem the tide of out-of-town spending. North Tarrytown and the Master Plan: The writer was impressed with theforesightedness and breadth of this Plan. Of course, when it was prepared eleven years ago, market conditions and the present day economy could not be predicted. However, our failure to begin implementing the plan has resulted in lost opportunities to capitalize on the robust economy of the 1980's. With the recent fire in the Mary Fisher building, and the availability of the rear property that is (or was) for sale, the village could acquire these and proceed with rehabilitation of this area. This could be the start of implementation of the Master Plan and possibly of a renaissance in North Tarrytown. The Master Plan should not continue to remain on the self, for a perceived lack of interest. Government must revalidate and endorse the Plan and develop a process to implement it, as well as a procedure to keep it current and evergreen. v^ 0001 ______,___«________,_____. November 19,1991 �>* Conclusion: The Master Plan of North Tarrytown, prepared in 1980 is still valid. North Tarrytown must follow the outline of the Plan and establish a process to update it annually. This is required to insure that North Tarrytown's future is characterized by growth and vitality, and that future develpoment will be in support of the Plan's goals. ^- 0001 November 19.1991 �I AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE TAPPAN ZEE EAST SCENIC DISTRICT COMMITTEE AND THE 'VILLAGE OF TARRYTOWN This AGREEMENT, made this day of October, 1991, by and between the Tappan Zee East Scenic District Committee ("Committee") and the Village of Tarrytown ("Tarrytown") .
