1 EASTCHESTER ZBA - 4/11/06

2 THE CHAIRMAN: I would like to

3 welcome everybody to the meeting for the

4 Eastchester Zoning Board of Appeals for

5 April 11th, 2006. Would everybody please

6 stand for the Pledge of Allegiance.

7 (Whereupon the Pledge of Allegiance

8 was said.)

9 THE CHAIRMAN: Before we get to the

10 agenda, we just have to approve the

11 minutes from two prior meetings. We'll

12 do them separately, because I was not at

13 the February meeting so I'll abstain from

14 that.

15 Is there a motion to approve the

16 minutes from our meeting on February

17 14th, 2006.

18 MR. CUBITA: So moved.

19 THE CHAIRMAN: Moved by Mr. Cubita.

20 Is there a second?

21 MR. CAHALIN: Second.

22 THE CHAIRMAN: Second by Mr.

23 Cahalin. All in favor.

24 MR. CAHALIN: Aye.

25 MR. CUBITA: Aye.

2 MR. SALANITRO: Aye.

3 MR. BORDUCCI: Aye.

4 THE CHAIRMAN: I'll abstain from

5 that vote.

6 Is there a motion to approve the

7 minutes from our meeting on March 14th,

8 2006?

9 MR. SALANITRO: I'll make the

10 motion.

11 THE CHAIRMAN: Moved by Mr.

12 Salanitro. Is there is a second?

13 MR. BORDUCCI: Second.

14 THE CHAIRMAN: Second by Mr.

15 Borducci. All in favor.

16 (All aye.)

17 THE CHAIRMAN: Those minutes have

18 been approved. I'll just run quickly

19 through the agenda. We do have one

20 adjournment for item four tonight, which

21 is Family and Community Services which

22 I'll address when we get to that item.

23 If you are here for a particular

24 application to present, please let us

25 know that you are here, please let us

DINA M. MORGAN, REPORTER

4

1 EASTCHESTER ZBA - 4/11/06

2 know whether you intend to proceed. We

3 do have a lengthy agenda tonight and if

4 you are not ready to proceed for any

5 reason, just let us know now in case

6 anybody is here waiting for your

7 application or watching at home we can

8 know up front whether you're going to

9 proceed or not tonight.

10 The first item tonight is the first

11 item under old business which is 46

12 Parkway Circle. I see the applicant is

13 here with respect to that one. We've

14 closed the public hearing. All that's

15 left with respect to that application is

16 to read a Resolution, so we'll proceed on

17 that one.

18 Second application under old

19 business is 292 White Plains Road. I see

20 the architect is here for that and you're

21 ready to proceed, correct?

22 ARCHITECT: Yes.

23 THE CHAIRMAN: We'll proceed on

24 that. Third one is 25 Soundview Drive.

25 I see Mr. Debitetto and his architect in

DINA M. MORGAN, REPORTER

5

1 EASTCHESTER ZBA - 4/11/06

2 the back. You're ready to proceed on

3 that one. Okay, we'll move forward on

4 that.

5 The final item under old business

6 is Family and Community Services at 551

7 White Plains Road. That has been

8 adjourned tonight because we requested

9 certain information from the applicant

10 that we received late last week. The

11 Board has also requested that an

12 independent appraisal be done of the

13 property with respect to what would one

14 lot on that parcel be worth and also how

15 much would two lots on that parcel be

16 potentially worth because for those who

17 followed this last month the lot is big

18 enough to be subdivided into two lots.

19 That information that we requested of an

20 independent appraiser was paid for by the

21 applicant and the information was not

22 received until yesterday through nobody's

23 fault, we just requested it a little bit

24 late in the process. So, given that the

25 town received it yesterday we haven't had

DINA M. MORGAN, REPORTER

6

1 EASTCHESTER ZBA - 4/11/06

2 any opportunity to look at it. So, given

3 all those elements, that one has been

4 adjourned until our next meeting in May.

5 With respect to anybody that is

6 interested in that one, you will not

7 receive another notice in the mail, you

8 will not see it advertised in any

9 newspapers in the public notice section

10 if you follow that, it's just being

11 adjourned from this meeting and it will

12 appear on the agenda in May without any

13 further notice being given directly to

14 the public. So, if you are interested in

15 that one, you can rest assured it will be

16 addressed in May.

17 First item tonight under new

18 business is 675 White Plains Road. I see

19 Mr. Davis. You're ready to go on that

20 one. Okay, he will proceed on that.

21 Next one under new business is 9

22 Laurel Place. Is somebody here on that?

23 Gentleman in the back and you're ready to

24 proceed. Okay.

25 Next application under new business

DINA M. MORGAN, REPORTER

7

1 EASTCHESTER ZBA - 4/11/06

2 is 06-13, which is 138 Woodruff Avenue.

3 Mr. Crocco is here to go on that. You're

4 ready to proceed?

5 MR. CROCCO: Yes.

6 THE CHAIRMAN: Okay. Next item

7 under new business is 31 Stewart Place.

8 Is Mr. Salerno here on behalf of the

9 applicant? I don't see him yet, but we

10 all understand that that's going to

11 proceed tonight so if you're here

12 interested in that or watching at home we

13 expect that that one will proceed.

14 Next application under new business

15 is 47 Woodruff Avenue. Is somebody here

16 on that? Mr. Crocco again and you're

17 ready to proceed?

18 MR. CROCCO: Absolutely.

19 THE CHAIRMAN: That one will go

20 forward. Next to last on the new

21 business tonight is 31 Hewitt Avenue. Is

22 somebody here on that one? They're not

23 here yet, but that's another one we

24 expect to go forward tonight so if you're

25 interested in that one I would expect

DINA M. MORGAN, REPORTER

8

1 EASTCHESTER ZBA - 4/11/06

2 that that will happen tonight.

3 The final one under new business is

4 61 Bradley Road. I don't see Mr. Tiso

5 here, but again, that is another one we

6 expect to go forward because we received

7 no information that it wouldn't. So, if

8 you're interested in that one most likely

9 that will proceed tonight as well.

10 We've gone through the agenda.

11 We're ready for the first item and it's

12 the first item under old business which

13 is Application 05-95, 46 Parkway Circle.

14 At our meeting in March, we closed

15 the public hearing. There were

16 additional written submissions that we

17 received prior to that meeting and at

18 that time the Board was satisfied we had

19 received everything that we requested and

20 all that was left with respect to this

21 application was to go to Resolution

22 tonight.

23 I'll ask the Board whether there's

24 any other issues that the Board feels

25 needs to be addressed before we go to the
