1
00:00:16,265 --> 00:00:20,205
I am gonna call to order the, um, zoning board of appeals meeting for

2
00:00:20,705 --> 00:00:24,225
thursday, march 26th. Um, we think we're recording reasonably

3
00:00:24,865 --> 00:00:28,445
short. Yes, we're good. Okay, excellent. Um, mr.

4
00:00:28,985 --> 00:00:32,985
building inspector, are all the mailings in order? I had been informed by my staff that all the mailings are in order,

5
00:00:33,205 --> 00:00:37,095
sir. Excellent. Alright, well we have two cases tonight. What we're gonna do is call each case here

6
00:00:37,455 --> 00:00:41,385
from whoever's representing, uh, the applicant. Uh, we'll have some

7
00:00:41,665 --> 00:00:45,475
questions from the board, then we'll open it up for any comments from the public. Looks

8
00:00:45,945 --> 00:00:49,825
a little quiet out there, but we'll see what happens. The way we like it, .

9
00:00:50,845 --> 00:00:54,145
uh, and then we will discuss amongst ourselves and come up with a vote.

10
00:00:55,125 --> 00:00:58,415
um, alright. First case is case number 0 1 2 6.

11
00:00:59,815 --> 00:01:03,745
mike and kate solomon at 41 columbia avenue. Yes, that would be me

12
00:01:03,905 --> 00:01:07,905
and my architect is on the way, so I dunno if you wanna yeah, well we, if it's okay

13
00:01:08,065 --> 00:01:12,005
with the second folks, we'll do it in the opposite order. In that case, we'll call case number oh

14
00:01:12,225 --> 00:01:16,015
four two six. Dan, uh, bernstein

15
00:01:16,685 --> 00:01:19,385
and juliette rose at seven. Ed marth place

16
00:01:21,725 --> 00:01:25,545
no r no ed in dan's name. Ah, sorry. Dan, I made this same mistake.

17
00:01:26,215 --> 00:01:30,135
just last one. Got it. That's all right. Bernstein. Yeah,

18
00:01:30,435 --> 00:01:34,385
there we go. I think you'll be misspelled the upcoming misspelled it wrong.

19
00:01:35,065 --> 00:01:38,625
I did. So how do, what's the correct spelling? There's no, no n

20
00:01:39,405 --> 00:01:43,385
oh, it's stein. Oh, sorry. That's all right. I, I, I'll answer . Is that my

21
00:01:43,545 --> 00:01:45,835
mistake here? No, it's probably mine. That intro.

22
00:01:48,045 --> 00:01:51,665
oh wait, hopefully

23
00:01:52,275 --> 00:01:54,195
I can yell at the architect. Hold on a sec. Can check.

24
00:01:56,775 --> 00:01:59,415
I'm plugged in here. Is there anything else I have to do to throw signal

25
00:02:01,415 --> 00:02:01,635
the screen?

26
00:02:13,365 --> 00:02:15,145
ha. Hi. Could blame you, .

27
00:02:19,295 --> 00:02:23,145
it's good that that's on the record, so there you go. It's a terrible start. He's still having technical

28
00:02:25,895 --> 00:02:29,665
what we got. What we got what we got and you turned

29
00:02:29,905 --> 00:02:33,185
that one off. Hmm.

30
00:02:34,515 --> 00:02:38,365
that's strange. Is that from your menu or my menu? Charles,

31
00:02:39,645 --> 00:02:43,595
that is definitely you. Not for both. That's when they won the,

32
00:02:45,195 --> 00:02:47,455
and he came over and he gave all the cousins the trophy.

33
00:02:49,325 --> 00:02:53,135
it's plugged in. It just goes right over. But it's his mom. That one

34
00:02:53,335 --> 00:02:57,175
related to you? No, so he has legal guardians,

35
00:03:03,105 --> 00:03:06,895
his brother. Lemme just see if I can . That's my, that's my thank

36
00:03:07,245 --> 00:03:09,155
you. That's my brother and he's,

37
00:03:13,705 --> 00:03:14,485
excuse me one second.

38
00:03:18,435 --> 00:03:18,885
it's so fun.

39
00:03:23,145 --> 00:03:25,285
top 30 now for the draft, which means first?

40
00:03:27,875 --> 00:03:31,165
yeah, the tv says choose to mirror, to mirror or extend.

41
00:03:33,015 --> 00:03:36,795
could you? Oh yeah, he's

42
00:03:37,085 --> 00:03:40,845
connected. Yeah. It says, it says,

43
00:03:41,145 --> 00:03:43,845
it says choose to mirror or extend display from the menu.

44
00:03:45,675 --> 00:03:49,545
from the picture menu. Oh, you have to go onto your computer and

45
00:03:49,765 --> 00:03:53,645
tell it's a mirror. Go to the

46
00:03:53,875 --> 00:03:57,505
display settings. Did you see my email? Um,

47
00:03:57,925 --> 00:04:01,525
I saw the one you were asking buddy, the question. Did you? Yes. So there is no building

48
00:04:01,965 --> 00:04:05,805
coverage variance. Okay. There it is. Because decks don't count as

49
00:04:06,165 --> 00:04:09,445
building coverage. Got it. I was, I was wondering that. I gotta say, I read it, I was like,

50
00:04:10,205 --> 00:04:13,705
I miss reading this. I've learned and, and this is minimum not

51
00:04:16,555 --> 00:04:20,405
potentially a difference between building coverage and developmental coverage. That's, yeah.

52
00:04:20,645 --> 00:04:21,605
otherwise it'd be the same.

53
00:04:25,685 --> 00:04:29,615
yeah, it's a mac, it's a back. Yeah. I'm gonna put, I'm gonna put you on speaker. Hold on. I, okay,

54
00:04:30,275 --> 00:04:34,235
we can do, it's gonna take longer than you gotta tell the that to,

55
00:04:34,915 --> 00:04:38,395
uh, usually just the hdi output

56
00:04:39,115 --> 00:04:40,895
as opposed to the, uh, the monitor

57
00:04:43,555 --> 00:04:45,385
could also just pull it up on our screens

58
00:04:51,125 --> 00:04:54,755
looking right, because it's, it's displaying

59
00:04:55,235 --> 00:04:59,155
it on the screen. So yeah, it's on my screen, but not, I've got the

60
00:04:59,315 --> 00:05:03,235
display settings up and I'm, you know, we mirror all the mirror all the time

61
00:05:03,355 --> 00:05:05,155
and I don't see the mirror setting for some reason.

62
00:05:16,515 --> 00:05:20,095
see there's the display, normally it has a, a popup here that says mirror.

63
00:05:21,835 --> 00:05:25,695
we could probably do this with a oh hdr. R-h-d-m-I. One more second.

64
00:05:26,875 --> 00:05:30,665
it says replacing hdmi on that slightly different shape. Hdr video.

65
00:05:31,955 --> 00:05:35,925
htv video. We can look at as hdtv and h. Yeah, look at michael's. Look,

66
00:05:36,295 --> 00:05:40,255
I have it on my phone too. I, I dunno. I dunno. Watch, unplug it and plug it back

67
00:05:40,415 --> 00:05:42,015
in. Fix everything.

68
00:05:45,925 --> 00:05:49,885
that's the wrong one. No, that's ed mark. That's right. We're starting with that mark. Same

69
00:05:50,085 --> 00:05:52,815
deck. Okay, so this is the new deck supposed to,

70
00:05:55,425 --> 00:05:59,095
it's supposed to mirror. Yeah. So it's this teeny.

71
00:05:59,995 --> 00:06:03,795
yeah, it's weird because I don't see the mirror like it normally is on here to, because

72
00:06:04,435 --> 00:06:08,265
it's, it's a corner lot. Think if we went from right. So

73
00:06:08,485 --> 00:06:12,365
it is hi to, oh, hold on. Oh, you got something? I thought that's

74
00:06:12,565 --> 00:06:16,565
not the corner lot. It's, it, it, I mean it's kind of, it's at the end. Yep. There you go.

75
00:06:16,645 --> 00:06:20,205
thanks. Sorry everyone. No worries.

76
00:06:22,355 --> 00:06:26,345
yeah, it's that little rear yard setback and then it's developmental coverage. That's

77
00:06:26,765 --> 00:06:29,245
all. Okay, we good?

78
00:06:30,815 --> 00:06:33,885
sorry. Okay. Sorry about that.

79
00:06:35,035 --> 00:06:39,015
alright. Hi everyone. Hello. Uh, I'm pete gulick from mike lewis architects

80
00:06:39,685 --> 00:06:43,605
in dobbs ferry. Uh, presenting the proposed, uh, deck to seven n north place

81
00:06:43,945 --> 00:06:47,935
for our clients. Dan burstein , julie roths.

82
00:06:49,025 --> 00:06:53,005
um, I just kind of take you quickly through the drawings and the site

83
00:06:53,705 --> 00:06:57,285
and address the, uh, variances we're looking at and then answer any questions.

84
00:06:58,305 --> 00:07:02,165
um, so the proposed deck

85
00:07:02,445 --> 00:07:06,365
is here on the rear side of the house where this small stair going down

86
00:07:06,625 --> 00:07:10,605
is now pretty modest size, 10 by 15 with a stair coming

87
00:07:10,985 --> 00:07:14,845
off of it. So this is the rear looking from the very rear,

88
00:07:15,385 --> 00:07:18,385
the rear of the yard towards the front. Um,

89
00:07:19,435 --> 00:07:22,475
same view here, looking back towards our neighbor to the east

90
00:07:24,545 --> 00:07:28,025
and then another view. Oh, those the same. No,

91
00:07:28,595 --> 00:07:32,315
another view kind of looking towards the west, um, towards

92
00:07:32,825 --> 00:07:36,605
the river that you could see maybe back there. So that's the context

93
00:07:37,145 --> 00:07:40,045
of it. Um, you know, in terms of the neighborhood,

94
00:07:41,435 --> 00:07:45,405
like a lot of the streets around here, the yards are pretty small and the houses are decent sized.

95
00:07:45,865 --> 00:07:49,765
so there's a lot of existing nonconforming building coverage issues.

96
00:07:50,585 --> 00:07:53,885
and those are the two of the ones that we have, uh, to look at.

97
00:07:55,305 --> 00:07:58,925
so taking a look at the site plans on the left

98
00:07:59,425 --> 00:08:03,045
is the existing plan. Lemme zoom in so we can see it a little better.

99
00:08:03,985 --> 00:08:07,825
and on the right is the proposed plan. So

100
00:08:08,045 --> 00:08:11,655
on the left you can see we're, we're proposing to remove the existing stair

101
00:08:12,865 --> 00:08:16,845
and add this deck on here, zoom

102
00:08:17,135 --> 00:08:21,055
in a little better so you can see it. So we have two coverage issues,

103
00:08:21,775 --> 00:08:25,245
a building and a developmental. And then we also have a slight setback

104
00:08:25,825 --> 00:08:29,495
issue here, which is this. So, um, sorry to interrupt you. No, um,

105
00:08:30,055 --> 00:08:33,975
I, I think that there's been some clarification, um, that you only

106
00:08:34,215 --> 00:08:38,175
have one coverage variance that you're asking for. So you're asking for the rear

107
00:08:38,415 --> 00:08:42,255
yard setback and and the development coverage development. Yeah, the building

108
00:08:42,615 --> 00:08:46,605
coverage has been taken off. It was decks aren't, um, uncovered

109
00:08:47,225 --> 00:08:51,215
decks are not, uh, part of the building coverage. That's good. I think

110
00:08:51,295 --> 00:08:54,965
we're even less on the developmental than the slightly less on the developmental

111
00:08:55,435 --> 00:08:59,265
than the, of the building. So

112
00:08:59,485 --> 00:09:02,965
basically we're adding, I think it was a hundred and what's the exact thing?

113
00:09:03,725 --> 00:09:07,145
139 square. Yeah. So it's, it's a modest ask on the

114
00:09:07,835 --> 00:09:11,755
overage, um, as to what we are. And let

115
00:09:11,955 --> 00:09:15,955
me just take you through the rest of the drawings so you can see what it looks like from the

116
00:09:16,075 --> 00:09:19,665
back. Um, next sheet has some

117
00:09:20,485 --> 00:09:24,395
elevations just to zoom in on those so you can see it.

118
00:09:26,505 --> 00:09:30,355
the top one here on the right is the deck looking again towards

119
00:09:30,845 --> 00:09:34,665
the west, towards the river, just so you can see the size.

120
00:09:35,085 --> 00:09:38,945
we really kind of tried to limit the depth of it from the

121
00:09:39,105 --> 00:09:42,375
setback and also just so that the neighbors from the other side

122
00:09:43,715 --> 00:09:47,585
views aren't blocked, um, when they're looking out towards the river.

123
00:09:48,845 --> 00:09:51,745
and then the view from the back, looking towards the front,

124
00:09:52,925 --> 00:09:56,625
you know, here's the new deck, the 15 feet and then the side stair

125
00:09:58,005 --> 00:10:01,885
on the, on the, uh, on the east side

126
00:10:02,175 --> 00:10:05,575
there as well. And just a few details, section details at the bottom

127
00:10:06,615 --> 00:10:10,335
and over here. So that's the proposal and

128
00:10:10,655 --> 00:10:14,565
um, yeah, we were just hoping for the relief on that. Given that it's

129
00:10:14,805 --> 00:10:18,325
an existing non-conforming and the deck's fairly modest in size,

130
00:10:21,295 --> 00:10:24,755
could you highlight the, um, rear yard setback?

131
00:10:25,515 --> 00:10:27,565
yeah, sure. Let me zoom in on this one. I think it's a little

132
00:10:39,785 --> 00:10:42,265
triangle to say

133
00:10:44,535 --> 00:10:48,225
there's the house set back and then the deck projection set back. So that little kind of yellow

134
00:10:48,825 --> 00:10:52,655
sliver is our the extent, the extent of the answer. Yeah,

135
00:10:52,945 --> 00:10:56,805
that's in the, within the setback. Alright, any questions from

136
00:10:57,045 --> 00:10:57,205
the board?

137
00:11:01,755 --> 00:11:05,685
were any letters received? No sir. Sorry michael,

138
00:11:05,885 --> 00:11:09,185
were you? No, nothing. We've spoken of the two direct neighbors. Mm-hmm . Um,

139
00:11:10,185 --> 00:11:14,125
got their feedback, so, you know. Okay. There. Um, I

140
00:11:14,245 --> 00:11:18,045
don't think they sent anything into me officially. No, I don't think they even

141
00:11:18,285 --> 00:11:22,205
sent. No, they did not. Um, I'm just gonna ask for

142
00:11:22,405 --> 00:11:26,385
the record. Anyone from the public wish to speak. Okay. Seeing

143
00:11:26,865 --> 00:11:30,765
no one. Um, so if there are no questions from

144
00:11:30,885 --> 00:11:34,685
the board and no comments from the public, maybe we'll just talk through the factors, if that's

145
00:11:34,925 --> 00:11:38,845
all right. Um, so, uh, we're looking at, uh, a

146
00:11:38,965 --> 00:11:42,675
few, uh, factors in the case of area variances.

147
00:11:43,865 --> 00:11:47,845
um, so, um, first is whether the, an undesirable change will be

148
00:11:48,365 --> 00:11:52,205
produced in the character of the neighborhood or detriment to nearby properties will be created

149
00:11:52,505 --> 00:11:56,385
by granting the area of variance. Does anybody have any concerns or comments on

150
00:11:56,605 --> 00:12:00,605
that factor? No. No. Whether the benefits sought by the

151
00:12:00,725 --> 00:12:04,685
applicant can be achieved by some method feasible for the applicant to pursue. Other

152
00:12:05,005 --> 00:12:08,885
than the area of variance questions or concerns

153
00:12:09,285 --> 00:12:13,155
on that? I think, you know, obviously the existing deck is more

154
00:12:13,445 --> 00:12:17,445
of a landing. So, uh, three, whether the requested area

155
00:12:17,605 --> 00:12:21,365
variance is substantial, I think certainly in the case of the rear

156
00:12:21,675 --> 00:12:25,505
yard setback, we can use our favorite word de minimis . Um,

157
00:12:26,275 --> 00:12:30,145
four. Whether the proposed variance will have an adverse effect or impact on

158
00:12:30,365 --> 00:12:33,085
the physical or environmental conditions in the neighborhood or district.

159
00:12:35,045 --> 00:12:38,615
anybody concerns or comments? Okay. No. No. And last one, whether the alleged difficulty

160
00:12:39,195 --> 00:12:43,135
was self-created, which consideration shall be relevant to the decision of the

161
00:12:43,255 --> 00:12:47,055
board of appeals, but shall not necessarily preclude the granting of the area variance.

162
00:12:49,225 --> 00:12:53,195
again, we understand that it is self-created to the extent that you want a deck, but,

163
00:12:53,475 --> 00:12:56,755
um, we certainly understand. Alright. Um,

164
00:12:57,835 --> 00:13:00,495
any other questions or thoughts? Would anyone like to make a motion?

165
00:13:01,845 --> 00:13:05,635
I'll make a motion. Thank you richard. Motion to approve. Um,

166
00:13:06,245 --> 00:13:09,735
alright. Are you good with that, linda? To approve

in a well the rear yard setback variance and developmental

168
00:13:14,575 --> 00:13:18,435
coverage, just because it's wrong on the agenda. So let's, okay. Um,

169
00:13:19,555 --> 00:13:23,455
yep. Shall I go ahead and yeah, go ahead and read read, um, case number

170
00:13:23,995 --> 00:13:27,705
oh four dash 26, dan stein and juliet ross. Seven.

171

176
00:13:52,085 --> 00:13:55,795

home. Alright, can we get a second? I'll second. Alright, take

179
00:14:05,295 --> 00:14:09,265

182
00:14:19,495 --> 00:14:23,495
all right, next up we have case number oh 1 2 6.

183
00:14:24,625 --> 00:14:28,275
mike and kate solomon at 41 columbia avenue and hopefully

184
00:14:28,675 --> 00:14:30,875
we'll have better technical luck. ,

185
00:14:41,285 --> 00:14:45,155
thank you so much. Good night. Our kids are at home. That's alright.

186
00:14:45,605 --> 00:14:48,955
thank you. Are they hanging with your kids? Brett

187
00:14:49,755 --> 00:14:53,605
? I'm not. I'm paying both my kids to babysit

188
00:14:53,835 --> 00:14:57,725
each other. Right. Linda, which linda says is, yeah, my

189
00:14:57,885 --> 00:15:01,775
parents used to do that. Only we got like a quarter and a dime. She's

190
00:15:02,125 --> 00:15:04,565
paying a little more. Yeah, the tooth fairs gone off as well, by the way.

191
00:15:06,915 --> 00:15:10,245
wait, who got paid more and was it because my oldest brother got a quarter,

192
00:15:11,465 --> 00:15:14,845
you know, he was in charge. Seniority, I go equal. Equal.

193
00:15:16,635 --> 00:15:19,325
well since he tried to kill me one of those times he gets paid more.

194
00:15:21,725 --> 00:15:25,285
I feel like it should be a bonus at the end. Wait, do you have different gendered kids?

195
00:15:25,745 --> 00:15:29,725
no. Oh, so there's no opportunity here to set an example about wage equality? There's

196
00:15:30,165 --> 00:15:32,885
all kinds of things you can do. No, there's no examples to be set. Oh, okay. Yeah, that's

197
00:15:34,445 --> 00:15:38,045
. Alright. But the puppy, does the puppy get paid

198
00:15:39,755 --> 00:15:43,445
with love for me when I get home? I was telling linda the most, the thing I'm most worried about is the puppy

199
00:16:01,245 --> 00:16:04,285
freaking, I think it's there, it's just, who knows?

200
00:16:05,325 --> 00:16:09,285
I know it's off, right? This is, I think

201
00:16:09,405 --> 00:16:11,125
it was picking up this screen.

202
00:16:14,995 --> 00:16:18,755
well this one's on three and that one's on two. I don't know if it matters. No, it's

203
00:16:19,045 --> 00:16:22,845
thinking, it's always such

204
00:16:23,285 --> 00:16:24,445
exciting when it pops on.

205
00:16:27,755 --> 00:16:30,005
okay. Give it like a minute and then go in.

206
00:16:32,505 --> 00:16:36,285
really? I, I vote for a 14-year-old high school student

207
00:16:36,665 --> 00:16:40,485
to be a member of the board. , the intern. We'd have no problems.

208
00:16:42,925 --> 00:16:46,885
I bring my 12-year-old. I would do, you could have brought 'em in instead

209
00:16:47,165 --> 00:16:51,135
of leaving him home alone. Um, this is not a mirror issue. This one is no signal issue.

210
00:16:52,465 --> 00:16:55,925
so unplug and plug back in. We can try this. Okay.

211
00:16:56,845 --> 00:16:59,245
I always love the unplug and plug back in. That worked last time.

212
00:17:03,225 --> 00:17:06,595
no, they, the h are correct. Okay. To see mockups

213
00:17:09,665 --> 00:17:11,845
now, worst case scenario, we'll go ahead without it.

214
00:17:18,085 --> 00:17:21,375
a deck slightly buddy, buddy.

215
00:17:22,345 --> 00:17:26,205
we can go ahead without it. Okay. Josh attorney says

216
00:17:26,445 --> 00:17:29,965
to go ahead without it. You wanna go ahead without it or do you yes, I think we can look at steve. Um,

217
00:17:30,615 --> 00:17:34,545
we've all straightforward. It's, we've all reviewed it prior. We have some of them on

218
00:17:34,835 --> 00:17:38,645
laptops here. So go ahead and present and we'll, uh, all right. Well it,

219
00:17:38,855 --> 00:17:42,645
we'll follow along. Uh, a variance for the existing condition.

220
00:17:43,745 --> 00:17:46,955
uh, the house is, uh, about a foot

221
00:17:47,905 --> 00:17:50,465
too close on the side and, um,

222
00:17:52,135 --> 00:17:55,945
we're just re re rebuilding the, renovating the,

223
00:17:56,465 --> 00:18:00,265
the deck in the back. And that's why. But

224
00:18:00,485 --> 00:18:04,275
it, that's, that meets the setbacks and everything. It's just the house. It's

225
00:18:04,565 --> 00:18:08,325
the problem. It's corner lot house and the, and the both front

226
00:18:08,655 --> 00:18:12,525
yards are very, very tight. Mm-hmm . To the curbs. Right. And the variance

227
00:18:12,945 --> 00:18:16,665
is necessary because it's, there's two front yards. Yeah. So

228
00:18:16,955 --> 00:18:20,785
it's 25 feet where it would normally be. And on this particular lot,

229
00:18:21,045 --> 00:18:24,805
I don't think there's anywhere else to put a deck and they're rebuilding

230
00:18:25,425 --> 00:18:29,405
one. Yeah. So yeah, it's a slightly different shape. Yeah. So the setback is a little

231
00:18:29,525 --> 00:18:31,085
bit less than the existing.

232
00:18:35,415 --> 00:18:39,385
alright. Um, any other questions from the board?

233
00:18:40,535 --> 00:18:44,425
nope. Did we receive any letters or comments from no sir. I don't believe so. Let me

234
00:18:44,585 --> 00:18:45,065
just check really quick.

235
00:18:48,895 --> 00:18:50,945
nope. No, we did not.

236
00:18:54,045 --> 00:18:57,535
okay. Um, so the, but I just have one question on the,

237
00:18:58,405 --> 00:19:01,885
on the, just making sure the numbers are correct. So in the agenda

238
00:19:02,445 --> 00:19:06,225
it says, um, existing 17.8,

239
00:19:07,625 --> 00:19:11,415
proposed 15.7 mm-hmm . I believe it says something different in the application,

240
00:19:12,965 --> 00:19:16,945
but the plans show the 15.7. Yeah. Just confirming

241
00:19:17,505 --> 00:19:21,495
that. Oh yeah, no, that's, we have to go off the plans. Okay.

242
00:19:22,145 --> 00:19:25,345
'cause the, the architects prepared the applications

243
00:19:26,325 --> 00:19:30,265
and they took it to the most extent that the house

244
00:19:30,535 --> 00:19:34,445
protrudes, not the deck itself. Okay. So what was

245
00:19:34,665 --> 00:19:38,345
noticed and what's on the agenda matches the plans. Mm-hmm . That's correct.

246
00:19:40,485 --> 00:19:43,865
um, um, alright. Um,

247
00:19:45,435 --> 00:19:49,405
there's obviously no public comment, so I think we can, if you guys are comfortable, we can

248
00:19:49,485 --> 00:19:53,075
talk through the factors on this one. Um, so first one is whether there's

249
00:19:53,565 --> 00:19:57,525
an undesirable change to the character of the neighborhood. Anybody have

250
00:19:57,765 --> 00:20:00,765
any comments or concerns on that one? It's just a replacement.

251
00:20:02,165 --> 00:20:06,145
yep. One seems to be a replacement. Whether the benefits sought by the applicants can

252
00:20:06,265 --> 00:20:10,155
be achieved by some method feasible other than this one. Um, again,

253
00:20:10,505 --> 00:20:14,325
it's sort of a reshaping of the same deck. Is the deck the new deck bigger

254
00:20:14,745 --> 00:20:17,895
or smaller? Similar. I know it's a different shape.

255
00:20:19,435 --> 00:20:23,215
it is almost exactly the same again, almost exactly the same. Okay. So more, it's

256
00:20:23,495 --> 00:20:26,815
almost a con it's almost a replacement or continuing of a non-conforming.

257
00:20:27,715 --> 00:20:31,495
mm-hmm . More or less the same. Uh, whether the requested variance is substantial,

258
00:20:32,395 --> 00:20:36,335
uh, again, um, relative to what the

259
00:20:36,655 --> 00:20:39,655
existing, it's, it's, uh, actually, um, similar

260
00:20:41,085 --> 00:20:44,615
whether the proposed variance will have an adverse effect or impact on the physical,

261
00:20:45,195 --> 00:20:48,885
uh, environmental conditions of the neighborhood. Or concerns on that? No. No.

262
00:20:49,905 --> 00:20:53,475
and finally, the last one, the self-created part, um, which we've already

263
00:20:53,965 --> 00:20:57,645
spoken to here, but obviously this one is, um, again, essentially

264
00:20:58,205 --> 00:21:01,215
a replacement. Any other questions or comments?

265
00:21:02,505 --> 00:21:06,035
no. No. All right. Can we have a motion for this one? I'll

266
00:21:07,125 --> 00:21:10,485
do it. Oh, thank you. Uh, I'll make a motion to approve case number

267
00:21:11,505 --> 00:21:14,885
one dash 26. Mike and kate solomon, 41

268
00:21:15,565 --> 00:21:19,405
columbia avenue. Um, relief from the stripped

269
00:21:19,685 --> 00:21:23,325
application for the replacement of an existing deck on a corner lot at their single family dwelling,

270
00:21:24,425 --> 00:21:28,325
uh, for side yard setback. Uh, do I need to read

271
00:21:28,445 --> 00:21:30,915
the existing proposed or no? Okay.

272
00:21:32,625 --> 00:21:36,435
uh, can we have a second? I'll second. All right.

273
00:21:36,745 --> 00:21:40,425
this time we'll do the vote right? Do one at a time. Richard, approve. Approve.

274
00:21:41,305 --> 00:21:45,155
approve, approve. All right. Thank you. Pass unanimously. Good luck.

275
00:21:45,355 --> 00:21:49,115
congratulations. Thank you. Thank you. Alright, um, next order

276
00:21:49,395 --> 00:21:53,315
of business is the approval of the minutes from the previous meeting, which was january 22nd.

277
00:21:54,875 --> 00:21:58,755
I think. I wasn't there, right? I don't remember. I wonder if we have a quorum to vote.

278
00:21:59,175 --> 00:22:03,155
if we have three. Yes. If we have two. Don't. I was there,

279
00:22:03,465 --> 00:22:07,435
were you there? I believe I was there 'cause we were not here last month. Yeah, last month there.

280
00:22:08,225 --> 00:22:12,155
okay. So then we do have enough to vote. Um, does anyone have any changes

281
00:22:12,535 --> 00:22:16,395
or corrections to the minutes? No, I have, I have everything

282
00:22:16,705 --> 00:22:19,475
fine to me. All right. Can we have a motion to approve the minutes?

283
00:22:21,015 --> 00:22:24,835
uh, motion to approve for the minutes for the last meeting. Alright, we need a second. I do. I second

284
00:22:25,035 --> 00:22:28,985
it. Alright. All in favor? Approve. Approved. Approved. Okay,

285
00:22:29,275 --> 00:22:32,325
so the minutes are approved. Our next meeting is april 23rd.

286
00:22:34,535 --> 00:22:38,395
uh, and I think we can have a motion to adjourn. Anybody wanna

287
00:22:38,595 --> 00:22:42,595
make that one? I'll make a motion to adjourn. All. All right. I

288
00:22:42,715 --> 00:22:44,355
think we are good to adjourn. Thank you everybody.

289
00:22:46,735 --> 00:22:49,465
