Public Hearings Trustee Hyland moved to open the first public hearing, seconded by Trustee Nazemetz and motion carried 6-0. William Regan read the attached public hearing notice regarding the rear yard setback requirement. Charles Riley, a surveyor, commented that the setback should not be twenty-five feet because this figure is too restrictive. The Zoning Board and Frederick P. Clark Associates had recommended a six foot rear yard setback and he felt that the Board should take their advice. He also stated that a survey of thirteen villages and towns showed they supported the six foot rear yard setback. Trustee Nazemetz asked variance if needed. why couldn't applicants file for a Mr. Riley commented that variances are messy, take up alot of time and that twenty-five feet is over restrictive to begin with. Trustee Treacy commented that the rear yard setback requirement has been determined by the Building Inspector to be twenty-five feet and since there is an ommission in the code, it needs to be addressed. He also stated that since Mr. Riley was representing Mr. Falasca, he questioned his motives. Trustee Hayes felt that the twenty-five foot setback is too much especially for existing accessory buildings, and for certain parts of the Village. Trustee Alter agreed with the twenty-five foot setback and stated that a grandfather clause could be put into the code for those existing accessory buildings so that they would not need to be replaced. Mario Belanich, a resident of North Washington Street, commented that if buildings are allowed to be built close to each other, why not accessory buildings and he felt the twenty-five foot, setback was too much. 1 �I Lisa Hunter, a resident of Philipse Manor, stated that: the Board cannot make a decision based on the survey that Mr. Riley took of thirteen municipalities. She also stated that at a Philipse Manor Improvement Association meeting, the Association supported the twenty-five foot rear yard setback proposal. There being no further comments, Trustee Hyland moved to close the public hearing, seconded by Trustee Treacy and motion carried 6-0. Trustee Treacy moved that the Board approve the twenty-five foot rear yard setback, seconded by Trustee Alter. On a roll call vote, Trustees Timmings, Hyland, Nazemetz and Hayes voted NO and Trustees Treacy and Alter voted YES; motion failed 4-2. After the vote, Trustee Treacy requested that the Board members who voted no, explain their actions. Trustee Hyland suggested the Board meet with the Zoning Board to discuss this further. The Mayor felt that the Chairman, Jerome Fine had discussed this at great length at a previous meeting. Jerome Fine who was in the audience, commented that his discussion at the last meeting reflected the opinion of the whole Zoning Board and perhaps special use permits can be discussed also. Mayor Rey stated that the Trustees must go back to the drawing board and come up with a solution. Mayor Rey read the attached public hearing notice regarding the NYS Senior Tax Abatement Program for rent controlled and rent regulated property. James Tierney was pleased that this hearing was being held tonight and didn't think that it would cost the Village or taxpayers that much money. He asked the Board to consider adopting this local law tonight. There were no other comments from the public.

With these additions, minutes were approved 6-0.
