2 THE CHAIRMAN: Good evening,
3 everyone. Welcome to the Zoning Board of
4 Appeals meeting for March 11, 2008.
5 Would everybody please stand for the
6 Pledge of Allegiance.
7 (Whereupon the Pledge of Allegiance
8 was said.)
9 THE CHAIRMAN: I would like to
10 apologize to everyone for the late start
11 to our meeting tonight. One of our
12 members was traveling in from the city,
13 got stuck in a little traffic and that's
14 why we're running a little late tonight.
15 First order of business will be the
16 approval of our minutes from the January
17 9th, 2008 meeting. Is there a motion to
18 approve the minutes?
19 MR. BORDUCCI: So moved.
20 MR. DE MARCO: Second.
21 THE CHAIRMAN: Moved by Mr.
22 Borducci. Second by Mr. De Marco. All
23 in favor.
24 (All aye.)

1 EASTCHESTER ZBA - 3/11/08
2 agenda, I would like to introduce to the
3 public our newest member to the board,
4 seated to my immediate right is Mr. Alan
5 Pilla who has agreed to volunteer his
6 time to serve on this Board. I am very
7 happy that Alan has decided to join us.
8 We just a few years ago went to school
9 together. He's an attorney with a local
10 practice in town and I think he will be a
11 tremendous addition to the board. So, I
12 would like to welcome Alan to our board.
13 MR. PILLA: Thank you.
14 THE CHAIRMAN: What we'll do, as we
15 do before every meeting, I'll run through
16 the agenda. For the applicants that are
17 here, please let us know if you intend to
18 proceed tonight so that if there are
19 people in the audience interested in your
20 application or if there are people at
21 home watching for a particular
22 application they will know if we are
23 going to proceed on that application or
24 not tonight.
25 First application under old

2 MS. RIVERA: Yes.
3 THE CHAIRMAN: That one will be
4 going forward as well. Next one is
5 Application 08-01, 137 Hutchinson
6 Boulevard. Is someone here on that
7 application? Nobody is answering, but
8 from what the building department has
9 been told that is very likely to proceed
10 tonight.
11 Next one is Application 08-14, 490

25 items that have been adjourned in case

2 anyone is tuning in or here tonight for
3 these applications. The first adjourned
4 application is 31 Stewart Place, that's
5 been adjourned to the April 8th meeting
6 of the Zoning Board. You will not get
7 any other notification through the mail
8 for that meeting, that application, it
9 will appear on our April agenda.
10 The next adjourned application is
11 85 Tuckahoe Avenue, that has also been
12 adjourned to the April 8th meeting of the
13 Zoning Board.
14 The final adjournment tonight is
15 165 Oakland Avenue.
16 So, if anybody at home or anyone
17 here is interested in those three
18 applications or any of them, they will
19 not be proceeding tonight. They will be
20 back in April and you will not receive
21 any additional mailings from the
22 applicant, from the town or any other
23 notification that they're proceeding in
24 April because the way the rules work is
25 once you're on the agenda and you're

2 adjourned to the next month there is no
3 additional notification that is required
4 by the applicant. It's supposed to be
5 the obligation of the public to follow
6 the agenda from month to month to know
7 what is going to be on and what's not on.
8 That's our practice.
9 Okay, we can now proceed to the
10 first item tonight, which is Application
11 07-97, 600 White Plains Road. Mr.
12 Perisi.
13 MR. PERISI: Good evening.
14 THE CHAIRMAN: Good evening.
15 MR. PERISI: May I proceed?
16 THE CHAIRMAN: Absolutely.
17 MR. PERISI: I would just like to
18 address a few of the issues raised since
19 the last Zoning Board meeting that we
20 attended. First, it's my understanding
21 that a group of area residents
22 spearheaded by a disgruntled former
23 tenant to a prior landlord who actually
24 sought to use the property the way we
25 seek to use it has submitted signed
