variance

Great. Thank you. I'm Matt Robinson at 8 Newton Court. My wife wanted to be here today but she's presenting at the Croton Karen Committee. We're requesting a variance for an existing gazebo, an existing accessory structure which is our gazebo in the …

Go ahead. I'm sorry. My only comment is I'm not sure whether this is something that would get approved if it was coming to the zoning board before it was constructed because it's not conformant. However, know, and there's risk, you know, anytime zoni…

Survey about Van Wyck title report. Yeah. Yeah, it's kind of strange because we get a lot of people coming in and selling their houses trying to legalize existing situations. This seems to be a ripe situation, particularly when a bank is involved. I …

So and if somebody and it says here. Right? If somebody wanted to put up a banner that was 25 square feet Mhmm. You know, they absolutely had to have a banner that was 25 square feet. They can go to the zoning board to get a variance. To get a varian…

on that point. Yeah. Go ahead. I think I mean, I think that needs to be taken out, not least of which is because what is current the current proposal that exists, this is, of course, 425 South Riverside. Right. It's not zoning compliant, which is not…

And I I think the reason that says no case may re reduce that minimum set max because those would be Subvariant. To a variance. Yeah. As zoning board. But I didn't I didn't know I mean, we've never even considered, like, having somebody increase a se…

So regarding parking, in the code specifically said, notwithstanding any other provisions of the code, for mixed use and multifamily residential buildings in that HSRG gateway, overlay area, there shall be provided at least the following amount of pa…

If any of the components do not comply, the applicant will need to either seek a variance from the ZBA or a waiver from the planning board. So then related to signage, all signs in the Gateway District must conform to the village's signage regulation…

Let me just let me just comment. So there are we would like, if it's possible, to to get the referral to the zoning board. The reason why I'm I'm going back to that is, there are there are a couple of variances that we're clearly gonna need that are …

Based on based on the your property, the the size of your line. Okay. And if you and if you were in that situation and you wanted to have one, then you could appeal to the zoning board. Okay. So and that would and your neighbors would get noticed, an…

But I don't think you necessarily would I mean, even even if somebody had that and it now was prohibited, let's say, because their property their lot was too small, they can they can get a variance for it. You know. So they they have a recourse. Righ…

has a has a reason to go to the zoning board. Yeah. Well, that's yeah. That's what I've been saying all night. It's that if somebody had had a a coupe in the RA 5 that was not Right. Legal now, they could go to the zoning board and get a variance. Ri…

is it just we vote? The whole code. It's not, right, a variance for one property. Right. Right. We're we're we're we're

I have a question, and I'm happy to review the, as we are the entire proposal. But, from my own understanding, if we're over the building envelope, it's sort of directed at Vinny, why doesn't this need a zoning variance first?

it's not I mean, it's I understand where your point is. But I'm just looking to understand why that's not happening in this case, but you're you've answered that. And is it it's it's a matter of historical precedent is what That as well. Yeah. In the…

That was in the the capital budget that was approved by the board, and, we applied to a AARP for a grant, and we were successful. So, you know, it's just a very nice, it's not gonna cover the whole cost, but it will cover almost half of it. So, you k…

Good evening. I'm Joseph Joseph Arnow, the architect for Betsy and Don Laird, who live at 71 Irving Avenue. We're hoping to build a small addition and portico on the front of the house and a full second story and attic onto the existing one and a hal…

There are several two story homes in the vicinity of the property, so the proposed additions would be in keeping with the neighborhood. Behind the portico, the 1.5 extension for the front addition would not be very evident. The house is the last hous…

Good evening, members of the zoning board. My name is Coleman Clancy. My wife, Kate, and I live at 40 Young Avenue at the corner of Young Ave and Benedict Boulevard here in Croton. And I'm here tonight to request a variance to allow a 48 inches fence…

So with this survey, I've marked in in that that area in red is is existing. It's a connection between a garage and the existing residence that's been there and that connection brought about in 2016 the need for a variance because then the garage was…

Almost. Okay. So a little blue area there. The project that we have in front of us is there is an existing breezeway that's been enclosed, connects the garage to the main portion of the house. There's a door that's recessed from the front of the hous…

The variance will not have an adverse effect or impact on the physical or environmental condition of the neighborhood. I think we all agreed on that. And the difficulty alleged, it was it is self created, But we didn't feel that that was outweighing …

a good idea. Just have the the women of village artists at the library. So it could be women village government related volunteers or workers event. Good idea. Okay. So I, along with, deputy mayor Simon, are, have the privilege to be liaisons to the …

I can give a quick up engineer's report update on this. Sure. Because some things actually apply if people are listening in the audience as well somewhere. Rental registry letters went out. I'm not sure if anyone's aware or has one, but if you rent y…

Thank you. My name is Gabriela Mirabelli. The residents here tonight are not the ones who need to make a case. A variance is a legal exception to existing zoning, and the burden of justifying that exception rests entirely with the applicant, not with…

My, you all are volunteers, and I appreciate the time you put in this and you're caring for the the town. Though I don't see the solution of moving the house forward, it tells me you haven't been to the location because there's quite a big hill there…

Thank you. I'm Steve Krisky. I live at 49 Sunset Drive, approximately, four houses down from the Quarrens, and from Bernie and Theresa as well. I have a bunch of comments for you. First of all, this is a very, very reasonable application. It's very t…

In making its determination, the zoning board of appeals shall take into consideration the benefit up to the applicant if the variance is granted as weighted against the detriment to the health, safety, and welfare of the neighborhood or community by…

I'm not gonna read from a I think you've received a lot of letters from neighbors. I do wanna go on the record to say that our first, hearing, we had about 20 neighbors here, and the applicant, wanted to move it. We moved it. This date is a school va…

It is unclear whether all required permits were obtained, particularly if the circumference of removed trees exceeded thresholds requiring additional approval. Given Croton On Hudson's steep slope protections, which exist specifically to prevent eros…

Is that what I was initially, when they first came out with the OPEB, I forget what GASB's number was, maybe 54 or 56, you only had to record it for the retirees. Then they changed it and said you have to calculate the liability not only for the reti…

It was up it's comparable to the it was up about 450,000, and that's your positive variance. If you look at the last column, some of the other big changes, the state aid, there was a shortfall from your budget of 287,000, and that was basically in an…

I think, I mean, your budget's very well prepared. It's done conservatively. The expenses are all in line. As you saw, there weren't major variances on the expenditure side. There wasn't a major positive or negative variance at all. The revenues beca…

Well, thank you, mayor. And, first of all, greetings, to the Wagner family. Glad glad you're here, and, thank you for, sacrificing, your your time with, Christine. Sometimes Thursday Thursdays, sometimes Mondays, but it's it's it's varied over time. …

My name is Norm Jansa with Westchester Modular Construction. This is our second time around at the variance meetings, representing Roseanne. Roseanne here. So, Ron came back to us and Vinny that, the actual zoning states that we should not have a doo…

And also what we structure closer to the principal residence. The setback, I think. Yeah. Closer to the road Yeah. Than the actual primary residence. That's what I recall. Right. And that's what we granted the variance last month for. Because I don't…

I have no issues with it. I think it's, it was indicated on the plan that was submitted last time. We already granted the variance for being in front of the primary residence, and I think it it just goes with that. And I think it would look strange h…
