There are 20 three adjourned items. First one is 21 Application 07-58, 31 Stewart Place. 22 That has been adjourned to the May 13th 23 meeting, which is our next meeting. The 24 next one is 07-92, 85 Tuckahoe Avenue, 25 also adjourned to the May 13th meeting, DINA M. MORGAN, REPORTER 5 1 EASTCHESTER ZBA - 4/8/08 2 and the final one on the adjourned agenda 3 is 08-10, 165 Oakland Avenue. That one 4 at this point has just been adjourned for 5 additional information. We're not one 6 hundred percent clear if it's going to be 7 on in May or not. 8 MS. UHLE: That's correct. 9 THE CHAIRMAN: If anybody is 10 interested or would like to follow those 11 applications, the Stewart Place one and 12 Tuckahoe Avenue should be on the agenda 13 in May. The Oakland Avenue what you will 14 need to do if you're following that one 15 is contact the building department as we 16 approached the May 13th meeting and you 17 can find out if that's going to be on the 18 agenda or not or you can follow the 19 agenda from the town's website and you 20 will find out if that is going to be 21 heard in May or sometime thereafter. For 22 the adjourned applications you're not 23 going to receive another notice in the 24 mail, a green card telling you that the 25 meeting is set for a certain night. When DINA M. MORGAN, REPORTER 6 1 EASTCHESTER ZBA - 4/8/08 2 they're on the adjourned agenda as they 3 are, they just proceed to the next 4 monthly meeting without another card 5 going out. So, don't expect another card 6 for those items. 7 We're ready to go to the agenda 8 tonight. First application is 9 Application 08-14, 490 - 498 New Rochelle 10 Road. Mr. Bauman. 11 MR. BAUMAN: Good evening, Mr. 12 Chairman, members of the board. A little 13 housekeeping first. I have two 14 additional green cards that I'll turn in 15 to the office and I also finally got the 16 Affidavit of Publication in the Journal 17 News, so I'll submit that also for the 18 file. 19 I'm not going to go through the 20 case again. You adjourned this matter 21 for all purposes, but the main reason was 22 so that you could receive from the town 23 of Eastchester Police Department a report 24 concerning the meters that are located in 25 the immediate area of the subject DINA M. MORGAN, REPORTER 7 1 EASTCHESTER ZBA - 4/8/08 2 property, which is 490 - 498 New Rochelle 3 Road and you did receive that letter, I 4 assume, Mr. Chairman. Are you going to 5 be reading that or do you want me to? I 6 received a copy of it this afternoon, but 7 I ask whether you wish to read that. 8 THE CHAIRMAN: If you want to 9 characterize it, that's fine. 10 MR. BAUMAN: I'm just going to 11 characterize it by saying that we 12 received pursuant to the board's 13 instructions a letter from Lieutenant 14 Jeffrey W. Hunter who had the area of New 15 Rochelle Road in Chester Heights checked 16 with respect to the meters on two 17 occasions during the weekdays between the 18 last board meeting and tonight and in 19 that letter he showed a parking study 20 where all of the meters, there are 21 sixty-three meters in total that they 22 counted in the area, Alta Drive, New 23 Rochelle Road, Hillcrest, Parkway Plaza, 24 Oregon Avenue, Parkway Plaza, Hillcrest 25 Road, sixty-three total.
