If the applicant or 20 their representative is here and is 21 prepared to proceed, please let us know. 22 If you're not going to proceed, please 23 let us know that as well so we can tell 24 anybody watching at home or anybody here 25 tonight that your application is not DINA M. MORGAN, REPORTER 3 1 EASTCHESTER ZBA - 5/13/08 2 going forward so they don't spend the 3 entire evening with us. 4 First application under old 5 business is 31 Stewart Place. Mr. 6 Allocco is here for the applicant and 7 they're ready to proceed. 8 Second item under old business is 1 9 Webster Road. I see the applicants are 10 here and you're ready to proceed?

You'll need to 8 follow our agenda to see if it's on the 9 June meeting or not. 10 MS. UHLE: Otherwise it will be 11 re-noticed. We'll require they re-notice 12 if it's not on the June agenda. 13 THE CHAIRMAN: If it's not on the 14 June agenda, Ms. Uhle from the building 15 department has advised they will be 16 required to re-notice, which means it 17 will be published in the newspaper again, 18 which nobody sees any way, but you will 19 also receive a letter in the mail 20 certified mail return receipt requested. 21 So, if you're interested in the Oakland 22 Avenue one or any of the other ones, I'm 23 about to say you will receive 24 notification if they're not on the June 25 agenda. So, if you are interested in any DINA M. MORGAN, REPORTER 5 1 EASTCHESTER ZBA - 5/13/08 2 of these, follow at least the June agenda 3 to see whether they will be back or not. 4 After June we don't meet again until 5 September. 6 Next adjourned item is 85 Tuckahoe 7 Avenue, the next one is 144 Gaylor Road, 8 and the final one is 26 Arlington Road. 9 Those four applications have been 10 adjourned for tonight. 11 We can go to the first item on the 12 agenda which is Application 07-58, 31 13 Stewart Place. Mr. Allocco. 14 MR. ALLOCCO: Good evening, Mr. 15 Chairman, members of the board. For the 16 record, my name is Chris Allocco. My 17 office is at 8 Roy Place here in 18 Eastchester. And also, in case it has 19 not been communicated to you, I was 20 engaged on this application this morning. 21 What I'm going to go through for the new 22 members who haven't seen this one, 23 because it's got somewhat of a life of 24 its own, will be a little bit for my own 25 benefit as well. I understand this one DINA M. MORGAN, REPORTER 6 1 EASTCHESTER ZBA - 5/13/08 2 has not been before you for several 3 months. With me, by the way, is Mr. 4 Reese. He is sitting back in the corner 5 in case there are any questions that are 6 more specific than I would be able to get 7 to tonight. 8 We're in the middle of a revision. 9 We were hoping to move a lot line and 10 create what I'll call a third lot from 11 what was the original lot nine. The 12 first subdivision has already taken 13 place. We created lots nine point one 14 and nine point two and what we're looking 15 to do now is in essence create a nine 16 point three, which is rather than say 17 north and south it's easier for me to say 18 to the right of lot nine point one which 19 is where the existing three family house 20 is. 21 There are two matters before you, 22 and I don't know to what extent the first 23 one has been resolved, but the first, 24 which is whether this is deemed a 25 rehearing or whether it's a new DINA M. MORGAN, REPORTER 7 1 EASTCHESTER ZBA - 5/13/08 2 application, I'll submit, as I'm sure Mr. 3 Salerno has submitted in the past, that 4 this is a new application, and I can 5 explain to you why I would like to make 6 that argument unless you're already 7 convinced of that point. 8 Certainly, to build up the record, 9 the prior attempt to come in and put a 10 lot over there was basically to put a 11 fifty-six hundred square foot -- I'm 12 going to put a second board up for you 13 now -- this was the prior look. If you 14 look at the nine point three, that was 15 intended to be a lot. As you can see, 16 for a seven point five zone it's 17 significantly substandard in area, it did 18 not offer the effective square and also 19 in leaving the three family structure as 20 we initially tried to do where the 21 existing house is there was a need for a 22 parking variance as well. Also, there 23 were several variances that were required 24 at that point but what was most important 25 at the time was the fact that we were DINA M. MORGAN, REPORTER 8 1 EASTCHESTER ZBA - 5/13/08 |
