Mr. Donald Moscato, Chairman, welcomed everyone to the Zoning Board meeting of
October b, 2015. He introduced Village consultants and staff, and asked that anyone
addressing the Board please come to the podium, use the microphone, and state their
names and the nature of the application. He noted that there were three applications on
the agenda and pointed out that there was a full complement of the Board in attendance.
He called for the first application on the agenda:
1. # 15-004 Andrew Stetter & Concetta Stetler
22 Hawthorne Avenue
Legalize raised turret & gable roof
Mail Affidavit Sign Affidavit Approvals (AIN) Adjournment
Andrew Stetler, applicant, addressed the Board. He noted that he was before the
Board for a variance for the height of the turret and gable roof. The turret and
gable work was done approximately 13 years ago, along with substantial
improvements. The plans were reviewed by the then Building Inspector, but no
height restriction was imposed. The applicant was instructed to install a sprinkler
system at that time, which was a financial hardship. The house is now for sale and
it was discovered that there is no Certificate of Occupancy for the re-build of the
turret and the gable.
Mr. Michael Izzo, Building Inspector, noted that the median height is calculated
by taking into consideration the height of the tallest point in the roof. The Code
has not changed in this regard. As-built plans have been submitted to legalize the
work. The plans were submitted in April 2011.
Mr. Moscato stated there were only two options to rectify the situation: the house
is left as-is and a variance is granted, or the turret is torn down. The height of the
turret does not seem to be an issue for the neighbors and it does not adversely
affect the character of the neighborhood. There does not seem to be culpability on
the applicant's part.
The applicant stated that tearing down the turret would not be financially feasible
for him. He estimated that it would cost him $15,000-20,000 to tear it down,
conservatively.

Mr. Moscato called for questions or comments from members of the public
wishing to be heard in support or opposition to the application. There being no
one, Mr. Steve Berger made a motion, and it was seconded by Andrew Kaminsky,
for the public hearing to be declared closed and the roll was called:
Steven Berger voting aye
Andrew Kaminsky voting aye
Jeffrey Richman voting aye
Joel Simon voting aye
Donald Moscato, Chairman voting aye
The Board began deliberation, and reviewed the five factors used to determine whether or
not to grant a variance. Based on the application documents, testimony and personal
observation of the subject property, the Board members agreed that the variance will not
create an adverse impact to the character of the neighborhood, the benefit the applicant
seeks cannot be achieved through another feasible method that does not require a
variance, the variance is substantial, it will not create any adverse physical or
environmental impacts, and the need for the variance is self-created.
Upon completion of the review, Mr. Moscato read the following resolution:
RESOLUTION
WHEREAS, an application (Application #15-004) has been made to the Zoning
Board of Appeals by Andrew Stetler (the "Applicant") for an eight (8) foot height
variance in connection with the proposed legalization of an existing roof turret at 22

roof height of 38 feet where 30 feet is allowed pursuant to Section 250-20.1.H(2) of the
Village Code. Said premises being known and designated as Section 135.35, Block 1,
Lot 30 on the Town of Rye Tax Assessor's Map; and

# 15-014 The Estate of Carolyn Bruenn
26 Rock Ridge Drive
Legalize existing single family dwelling with attached garage
Mail Affidavit Sign Affidavit Approvals (AIN) Adjournment
William Besharat, architect for the applicants, addressed the Board. He noted that
the sons of Carolyn Bruenn were the applicants, and were present. Mr. Besharat
reported the house was built in 1952 but no Certificate of Occupancy is on file
with the Village for the house. In 1993, an application for a building permit was
approved for a bedroom addition and a Certificate of Occupancy was issued for
that addition only. A new survey has been prepared and it was found that the
house is compliant in all aspects, with the exception of the front yard setback. The
lack of a Certificate of Occupancy was discovered during inspections related to the
house being placed on the market for sale.
Andrew Kaminsky asked if the house will be torn down or renovated by the buyer.
The architect stated that they believed the new owners would be doing
renovations. The variances granted run with the property and Mr. Kaminsky
asked that the variance be conditioned so that the potential of a tear down is
considered. If additional work is done, the applicants will need to come before the
Board for a variance. It was noted that at this time the applicant is only requesting
legalization of the existing single family dwelling with an attached garage. The
consensus of the Board was to apply conditions to the granting of the variance.
Mr. Moscato called for questions or comments from members of the public
wishing to be heard in support or opposition to the application. There being no
one, Mr. Steve Berger made a motion, and it was seconded by Andrew Kaminsky,
for the public hearing to be declared closed and the roll was called:

Mr. Moscato reviewed the five factors with the Board. Based on the application
documents, testimony and personal observation of the subject property, the Board

members agreed that the variance will not create an adverse impact to the character of the
neighborhood, the benefit the applicant seeks cannot be achieved through another feasible
method that does not require a variance, the variance is substantial in terms of percentage
deviation from the applicable requirement, it will not create any adverse physical or
environmental impacts, and the need for the variance is self-created.
Upon completion of the review, Mr. Moscato read the following resolution:
RESOLUTION
WHEREAS, an application has been made to the Zoning Board of Appeals by the
Estate of Carolyn Bruenn, c/o Automated Control Logic and Preston Bruenn (the
Applicant") for a 2.2 foot single side yard setback in connection with the proposed
legalization of an existing single-family residence and attached garage located at 26 Rock
Ridge Drive in the R-10 zoning district, where a ten (10) foot single side yard setback is
require pursuant to Section 250-22.1.G.(2)(a) of the Village Code. Said premises being
known and designated as Section 135.35, Block 1, Lot 20 on the Town of Rye Tax

252 South Ridge Street
Construct 2nd story dormer additions
Mail Affidavit Sign Affidavit Approvals (A/N)_ Adjournment
Oscar Ovalle from the office of D. Mayet, architect, addressed the Board. He
reviewed the application, and noted the required setbacks and FAR limitations per
Village Code. He also pointed out the size of the variances being requested. The
applicants are looking to construct two dormers on unit one. He noted that the
square footage of the property was reduced when South Ridge Street was widened
and that affected the FAR.
Mr. Moscato noted that when the County took some property from the applicants
to enlarge Ridge Street the action effected the FAR on this property. All three
variances being requested are substantial. The substantiality of the variances will
need to be balanced with the other factors we are required to consider. South
Ridge is a gateway into the Village. Although many properties along Ridge Street
are part of the Scenic Roads Overlay District, this property does not fall within the
C; SROD so the requirements of the SROD do not apply here. Mr. Izzo noted that
there is no Planning Board review required for this application.
In response to a question from Mr. Moscato, the architect reported that the
applicant resides in Unit 1 and they have children that will reside in the proposed
second story.
Mr. Kaminsky questioned when Ridge Street was widened. Mr. Izzo said there is
a note on the survey that references Map No. 479, Parcel No. 661, Filed Map
11425. Review of the Filed Map in the Westchester County Clerk's Office would
reveal the property was taken for the widening of Ridge Street.
The Board discussed the variances as they relate to Ridge Street and as they relate
to Dixon Street. Mr. Izzo suggested that the Board consider referring the
application to the ARB prior to acting on the variances, in case the ARB requires
any revisions that affect the variances. Mr. Kaminsky recognized that the
applicant is requesting an expansion of the nonconformity, but felt the increase is

not substantial. Mr. Richmond said it seems this project will improve the existing
' home which is important at this gateway to the Village. Chairman Moscato stated
it makes sense to look at the variances as a whole, not individually. He said the
proposed pians seem to be a significant physical improvement over the existing
condition, but questioned whether it is acceptable from a bulk perspective. The
proposed improvements will make the house more in character with the
neighborhood.
There was no one wishing to speak for or against the application. The public
hearing was closed and all three variances were reviewed. Based on the
application documents, testimony and personal observation of the subject
property, the Board members agreed that the variance will not create an adverse
impact to the character of the neighborhood, the benefit the applicant seeks cannot
be achieved through another feasible method that does not require a variance, the
variance is substantial, it will not create any adverse physical or environmental
impacts, and the need for the variance is self-created.
Mr. Moscato read the following resolution:
