1
00:00:56,430 --> 00:01:03,530
Okay, good evening everybody. Welcome to the town of Fischkill Zoning Board of Appeals Tuesday August 18, 2020, 26,

2
00:01:03,690 --> 00:01:06,490
like to call the meeting to order with the pledge relations, please.

3
00:01:39,330 --> 00:01:40,370
Glenn Skulfield.

4
00:01:44,760 --> 00:01:50,120
Okay, before we begin, we have three members I'd like to appoint Johnny Khan as a all-or pilot

5
00:01:50,120 --> 00:01:53,000
alternate as an acting voting member tonight.

6
00:01:54,100 --> 00:01:54,400
Thank you.

7
00:01:54,940 --> 00:01:55,100
Thank you.

8
00:01:55,920 --> 00:01:56,200
Okay.

9
00:02:00,140 --> 00:02:04,120
First, first one we have here is Zoning Board.

10
00:02:04,620 --> 00:02:08,180
Appeals application number ZB26-002.

11
00:02:08,180 --> 00:02:09,920
Two Sandra Place, area of Arrevariances.

12
00:02:10,740 --> 00:02:15,080
Applicant is requesting following variances for the construction of a 12-foot by 25-foot addition

13
00:02:15,080 --> 00:02:16,900
to an existing detached garage.

14
00:02:17,440 --> 00:02:22,420
First point, a two foot, four inch foot yard back set,

15
00:02:22,760 --> 00:02:25,900
where 35 is minimum required, front set, front yard set

16
00:02:25,900 --> 00:02:27,520
back, and the R20's own industry.

17
00:02:28,040 --> 00:02:29,460
The granting of this variance

18
00:02:29,460 --> 00:02:34,420
will result in a 32 foot, eight inch front yard set back.

19
00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:39,720
Second, a three foot, seven inch rear, rear right side,

20
00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:40,980
the yard set back.

21
00:02:40,980 --> 00:02:48,740
Where a 10-foot is the minimum required rear-site, rear-right side yard, setback, and the R20 zoning district.

22
00:02:49,740 --> 00:02:54,440
This variance will result in a 6-foot 5-inch right side yard, setback.

23
00:02:55,520 --> 00:03:07,920
Third point, a 4-foot 5-inch front-right side yard, setback, where 10-foot is the minimum required front-right side yard, setback, and the R20 zoning district.

24
00:03:07,920 --> 00:03:14,160
The grandity of this variance would result in a five-foot 7-inch front right side yard set back.

25
00:03:14,300 --> 00:03:22,800
The land effect by this application is identified as tax map parcel number 6055-12-92550.

26
00:03:23,960 --> 00:03:30,080
Located at two standard place consisting of 0.39 acres in the R20 zoning district.

27
00:03:33,290 --> 00:03:35,770
Okay, so the promotion to open the public hearing.

28
00:03:37,130 --> 00:03:37,330
Second.

29
00:03:38,170 --> 00:03:38,750
Thank you.

30
00:03:39,610 --> 00:03:48,080
Okay, we have a gentleman here tonight, we're going to hear from, I'm sorry, Mr.

31
00:03:48,220 --> 00:03:51,680
Oh, I'm sorry, it's my first time doing this, that is easier to look.

32
00:03:54,360 --> 00:03:56,340
Just present real quick, we've heard you before.

33
00:03:56,960 --> 00:03:57,640
Good evening, everyone.

34
00:03:57,740 --> 00:03:58,260
Good evening.

35
00:03:58,480 --> 00:04:04,080
So what I'm trying to do is make a two-car garage where there's this little car right now.

36
00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:07,820
So what is, the main variance really is to decide

37
00:04:08,480 --> 00:04:13,640
lot, which will give us, well, looking for five and a half feet.

38
00:04:14,160 --> 00:04:18,120
So it's going to be four and a half feet versus ten feet.

39
00:04:18,300 --> 00:04:21,100
Next to the property, to the right.

40
00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:25,140
Everything else is pretty much standard.

41
00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:26,820
Just jumping in the front of the right,

42
00:04:26,820 --> 00:04:29,880
all the jumping in the back of the right.

43
00:04:30,300 --> 00:04:31,980
Line will stay the same line.

44
00:04:33,760 --> 00:04:41,020
the roof line will stay the same light as the existing right now. So pages will stay the same.

45
00:04:41,140 --> 00:04:49,860
So there will be no shadows or matrusions to light toward the next door neighbor.

46
00:04:52,040 --> 00:04:52,420
Let's say.

47
00:04:52,500 --> 00:04:57,360
Okay. Well, we've heard you last month. Does anyone have any other questions at this time?

48
00:04:58,990 --> 00:05:13,950
Just as a reminder, so you, the, you my question last month was about the two feet in the front and the neck, the back, and it sounded like it was to literally just fit a truck in, is that correct?

49
00:05:14,010 --> 00:05:15,230
That's correct.

50
00:05:15,730 --> 00:05:15,970
Right.

51
00:05:17,210 --> 00:05:20,190
Because it give you a 20 foot death garage.

52
00:05:22,500 --> 00:05:22,740
Okay.

53
00:05:22,920 --> 00:05:25,060
Why don't you have any questions?

54
00:05:29,740 --> 00:05:30,340
Okay.

55
00:05:35,560 --> 00:05:39,880
I don't want to make sure is anybody else here.

56
00:05:41,580 --> 00:05:42,600
Are there public opinions?

57
00:05:43,060 --> 00:05:44,720
Anyone want to step up and speak?

58
00:05:45,580 --> 00:05:46,300
For against?

59
00:05:49,320 --> 00:05:49,860
Okay.

60
00:05:50,460 --> 00:05:51,280
Motion to close.

61
00:05:52,340 --> 00:05:52,980
Man.

62
00:05:53,640 --> 00:05:54,660
I just have a question.

63
00:05:54,660 --> 00:05:57,120
as to how many of us have come to the building?

64
00:05:57,500 --> 00:05:59,480
Please just tell us who you are.

65
00:06:00,440 --> 00:06:05,940
Deborah Webb, I am part owner of the house at four

66
00:06:05,940 --> 00:06:06,720
center place.

67
00:06:08,080 --> 00:06:12,340
I just wanted to know how far, if anything, this is going to

68
00:06:12,340 --> 00:06:13,800
extend onto her property.

69
00:06:18,260 --> 00:06:19,240
She will.

70
00:06:19,840 --> 00:06:28,240
It's, well, so basically we're just going next to our property.

71
00:06:28,240 --> 00:06:35,420
So a garage will be on our property, but it's going to be five and a half feet to the

72
00:06:35,420 --> 00:06:39,380
property line versus requirement right now is 10 feet.

73
00:06:39,960 --> 00:06:42,140
So we're asking for that variance.

74
00:06:44,170 --> 00:06:44,830
You're

75
00:06:50,520 --> 00:07:02,740
almost there, my hair is basically there's the property line and the garage is right

76
00:07:04,120 --> 00:07:08,660
So right now we can blow it up a little bit.

77
00:07:22,970 --> 00:07:24,990
Keep going down.

78
00:07:32,420 --> 00:07:46,640
So you can see right now it's 5.7 inches, yes, 5.7 inches to the property line. So your house is right here. So we're still going to be on our property.

79
00:07:47,460 --> 00:07:48,100
Okay.

80
00:07:53,180 --> 00:07:53,720
Thank you.

81
00:07:53,720 --> 00:07:53,900
Thank you, ma'am.

82
00:07:54,020 --> 00:07:54,860
Anybody else?

83
00:07:56,900 --> 00:07:57,060
Okay.

84
00:07:57,400 --> 00:07:58,960
Motion to close public hearing.

85
00:08:01,400 --> 00:08:02,360
Any questions, please?

86
00:08:03,140 --> 00:08:09,500
So, did you have a concern about that or you're just double checking that it's not

87
00:08:09,500 --> 00:08:10,900
coming on your property?

88
00:08:15,440 --> 00:08:16,120
That's it?

89
00:08:16,480 --> 00:08:16,720
Okay.

90
00:08:16,720 --> 00:08:17,220
So we had a motion.

91
00:08:19,540 --> 00:08:20,040
Okay.

92
00:08:24,170 --> 00:08:24,810
Next.

93
00:08:25,110 --> 00:08:27,110
We will move to accept or deny.

94
00:08:27,930 --> 00:08:28,590
This is these variances.

95
00:08:29,190 --> 00:08:29,790
Approved.

96
00:08:29,790 --> 00:08:30,250
Approved.

97
00:08:30,250 --> 00:08:30,910
I'm sorry.

98
00:08:31,530 --> 00:08:31,930
It's closed.

99
00:08:33,010 --> 00:08:33,610
No, no.

100
00:08:34,270 --> 00:08:34,450
No.

101
00:08:35,150 --> 00:08:36,530
I close the public here.

102
00:08:37,070 --> 00:08:37,310
So it's starting.

103
00:08:37,450 --> 00:08:41,290
You have to decide and then you have to go through the criteria and have I to do that.

104
00:08:41,430 --> 00:08:41,630
Okay.

105
00:08:41,910 --> 00:08:43,010
You want to go through those steps.

106
00:08:44,150 --> 00:08:44,510
Of course.

107
00:08:45,050 --> 00:08:45,130
That's.

108
00:08:46,790 --> 00:08:46,830
So.

109
00:08:48,070 --> 00:08:48,850
That's important.

110
00:08:49,090 --> 00:08:49,430
Of course.

111
00:08:49,650 --> 00:08:52,910
That's taken to consideration the benefit to the applicant if the variance is granted.

112
00:08:53,610 --> 00:08:56,290
Way to guess the detriment to the health and safety and welfare of the neighborhood

113
00:08:56,290 --> 00:08:58,310
and community by such grant.

114
00:08:59,150 --> 00:09:06,150
It's a factored test, the following factors, whether an undesirable change will produce in the character of the neighborhood or a detriment to a neighbor,

115
00:09:06,510 --> 00:09:09,450
a nearby properties will be created by granting of the very area variance.

116
00:09:10,030 --> 00:09:16,570
Whether the benefits sought by the applicant can be achieved by some other method feasible to the applicant to pursue other than an area variance.

117
00:09:17,450 --> 00:09:27,010
Whether the requested area variance is substantial, whether the proposed area variance will have an adverse effect or impact on the physical or environmental conditions in the neighborhood or its own district.

118
00:09:27,510 --> 00:09:35,910
And whether the alleged difficulty was self-created, which considerations have be relevant, but not necessarily preclude the granting of such variants.

119
00:09:39,020 --> 00:09:47,340
And if it's granted, you shall grant it in the minimum variance necessary and adequate to preserve and protect the character in neighborhoods, health safety and welfare of a community.

120
00:09:49,310 --> 00:09:51,970
Does anyone have any concerns with the flat points?

121
00:09:52,790 --> 00:09:58,970
No, my, I did a site visit, so my comfortable with it.

122
00:10:01,370 --> 00:10:03,510
Okay, so motion to approve or deny?

123
00:10:05,230 --> 00:10:05,610
Can I have that motion?

124
00:10:08,670 --> 00:10:09,910
Motion to approve?

125
00:10:09,930 --> 00:10:10,530
Motion to approve?

126
00:10:11,950 --> 00:10:12,870
What to approve?

127
00:10:13,210 --> 00:10:13,970
I'll set it.

128
00:10:14,890 --> 00:10:15,390
All in favor?

129
00:10:16,090 --> 00:10:16,250
All in favor?

130
00:10:16,390 --> 00:10:16,610
All in favor?

131
00:10:18,890 --> 00:10:20,130
All in favor?

132
00:10:24,230 --> 00:10:25,150
Which one?

133
00:10:25,330 --> 00:10:28,910
Well, many won't prepare and then sign by the chair.

134
00:10:29,310 --> 00:10:29,570
Oh, yes.

135
00:10:29,750 --> 00:10:33,090
So we'd prepare a resolution for that motion.

136
00:10:33,610 --> 00:10:35,830
And then we'll prove the sign by its integral.

137
00:10:36,970 --> 00:10:40,530
And then we'll use the motion to prepare the resolution.

138
00:10:41,650 --> 00:10:42,010
One second.

139
00:10:42,990 --> 00:10:43,350
Second.

140
00:10:51,010 --> 00:10:52,270
That's it for that part of the agenda.

141
00:10:52,650 --> 00:10:55,770
I'll move on to part two, which is...

142
00:11:00,070 --> 00:11:01,630
Yes, you guys will say, thank you so much.

143
00:11:06,540 --> 00:11:11,560
Okay, part 2 is Duchess Manor Restoration and Site Design Project, request for determination from

144
00:11:11,560 --> 00:11:17,340
the Zoning Board of Appeals, presented to town official code 1v0-11, continuation of review.

145
00:11:18,840 --> 00:11:23,220
We got right in front of me, I'm just going to read it to the record, a letter that was received on August 13,

146
00:11:23,760 --> 00:11:30,280
2026, dated August 12, members of the Zoning Board of Appeals, dear chairman to a rail and members of the

147
00:11:30,280 --> 00:11:36,420
of Peels, Highland, Hudson Highlands, Fior Trail, H-H-F-T, submits this letter to withdraw

148
00:11:36,420 --> 00:11:39,800
H-H-F-T's pending request for determination from the Zoning Board of Peels.

149
00:11:40,600 --> 00:11:46,860
We're soon into 150-11 of the town of Fishkill, Zoning Code, to extend the RB Zoning District

150
00:11:46,860 --> 00:11:53,460
Regulations, 50 feet into an R-2A, Zoning on H-H-F-T's property, based on the feedback

151
00:11:53,460 --> 00:12:00,300
throughout the application process and HHFTs outreach efforts, HHFT has decided to amend

152
00:12:00,300 --> 00:12:05,080
the project to eliminate the proposed overflow parking on the lower level of the property.

153
00:12:05,780 --> 00:12:10,960
As such, HHFT no longer requires its termination from a ZBA and hereby withdraws its pending

154
00:12:10,960 --> 00:12:12,740
request in its entirety.

155
00:12:13,220 --> 00:12:15,500
Thank you for the ZBA time consideration of this matter.

156
00:12:15,980 --> 00:12:20,440
Please do not hesitate to contact the underside of any questions and certainly Peter Mullin

157
00:12:20,440 --> 00:12:23,500
as it's CEO of HFT,

158
00:12:25,630 --> 00:12:25,790
okay?

159
00:12:25,910 --> 00:12:27,070
I think that's it.

160
00:12:27,730 --> 00:12:29,090
Do we have a motion to adjourn?

161
00:12:31,980 --> 00:12:32,460
Second?

162
00:12:33,960 --> 00:12:34,460
All in favor?

163
00:12:34,900 --> 00:12:35,340
All right.

164
00:12:36,200 --> 00:12:38,080
All right.

165
00:12:38,200 --> 00:12:39,060
And that concludes our business.

166
00:12:39,320 --> 00:12:39,940
Thank you.

167
00:12:39,940 --> 00:12:40,340
Thank you.

168
00:12:40,500 --> 00:12:40,840
Thank you.

169
00:12:41,140 --> 00:12:41,580
Thank you.
