and industry for over forty years. The applicant is taking over the premises formerly occupied by Jack's
Miracle Auto Repair. The Board granted Tedesco Auto Body a Special Permit for an auto body shop
which is below the existing tenant. Mr. Mazin previously indicated to the Board his clients were prepared
to accept all the conditions that were imposed upon Jack's Miracle Auto Repair. The hours of operation
were discussed and the Board was to determine whether or not the applicant's starting hours could be 7:00
a.m. rather than 8:00 a.m., pending counsel's opinion. Mr. Mazin said his clients are present to answer
any questions the Board may have.

Ms. Reader informed the Board that a memo was received from the Building Department stating Ms.
Gallent has indicated she is not aware of any Ordinance limiting the hours of operation, Mr. Jakubowski
indicates there is not an Ordinance restricting the hours of operation, but there is an Ordinance regarding
noise during the hours of operation.
Ms. Gallent said Section 141 of the Town Code addresses noise.
Mr. Mazin said the applicant had asked for the hours of operation to be from 7:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m., to
allow the applicant time to handle book work.
Ms.Reader said the original hours were 8:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. and the request noted was from 7:00 a.m.
to 8:00 p.m. for the hours of operation, as the once the doors are locked the applicant can remain on the
premises indefinitely.
A discussion ensued regarding the hours noise may be generated.
Ms. Gallent said there are a number of provisions in the code and read Section 141-7 of the code regarding
noise.
Ms. Reader asked if there were any comments from the public.
Pat Martyn of 63 Sherwood Drive appeared. Mr. Martyn said he strongly objects to this application being
allowed, due to problems that arose with the previous two occupants regarding noise,painting done on the
premises and boats stored in the back yard. Mr. Martyn reported same to the Police Department, and
nothing was done. Mr. Martyn said with the noise emanating from the premises, he cannot enjoy his
property. To allow the hours of operation from 7:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. is ridiculous, especially in a
residential area.
Ms. Aisen asked what response was received when the Police Department was called.
Mr. Martyn said he did not get a response. The Police Department went to the site, told the individuals
to be quiet, but nothing happened.
Ms. Reader said Mr. Martyn should make a complaint to the Building Department who would investigate
the complaint. Ms. Reader then explained the reasons for notifying the Building Department.
Ms. Reader said there are two businesses at the location.
Mr. Martyn said he is talking about the tenant downstairs.
Ms. Reader said the application is for the upstairs tenant.
Mr. Martyn said he has no objection to the upstairs tenant.
Mr. Mazin suggested Mr. Martyn speak to the individuals involved and, if necessary, file a complaint.
Ms. Reader suggested Mr. Martyn write a letter to avoid a confrontation with the tenant.
Mr. Martyn said he already had a confrontation with the tenant and had a fight.
Ms.Reader said Mr. Martyn should notify the Building Department and informed Mr. Martyn to write the
Planning Board, if he does not hear from the Building Department.
Ms. Aisen asked Ms. O'Keeffe, Town Board Councilwoman, if the police are called, do the police advise
the complainant.

Ms. O'Keeffe said the police will tell the complainant that they do not have jurisdiction,depending on the
statute, and would direct the complainant to the Building Department.
Mr: Mazin said generally the Building Department has a code enforcement official, who makes an
inspection and reports same to the department.
A discussion ensued regarding an amendment being made referring to painting being performed on the
premises..
Ms. Reader asked if there were any other comments from the public.
Ms. Gallent said the matter was referred to the Westchester County Planning Board, because it is located
on the Boston Post Road, which did not have any comment.
On a motion made by Ms. Harrington, seconded by Dr. Mason, it was unanimously
RESOLVED, that the Public Hearing be, and hereby is, declared closed.

conditions imposed upon Jack Eisenbach d/b/a Miracle Auto Repairs granted on June 10, 1992 with one
change under the Special Conditions#4, enlarging the hours of operation from 7:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m.

On a motion made by Dr. Mason, seconded by Ms. Harrington, it was unanimously
Planning Board
September 10, 1997
Page 6
RESOLVED, that the Public Hearing be, and hereby is, declared open.
The Public Stenographer was present for this meeting and her transcript will become a permanent part of
this record.
James J. Vanoli, P.E. of 752 Old Kensico Road, Thomwood, New York appeared. Mr. Vanoli is asking
for a time extension for subdivision approval and stated the reasons for the delay is financial consideration.
There are no changed conditions on the site,nor any changed conditions to the proposed construction plans.
As for the status of the plans, the plans are complete. The plans were submitted to Mr. Leger of Malcolm
Pimie and John Hoch of the Westchester Joint Water Works for their review around the Labor Day
weekend at which time the Health Department will be notified for plat approval. In the interim, based on
the approval received, Mr. Vanoli has been working with the Building Department on the tree removal,
posted a$50,000.00 bond and begun work in accordance with the previously approved plans. The intention
is to proceed with the subdivision.
Dr. Mason asked if there was a miscalculation on the length of the expiration date.
Ms. Reader said the statute provides for six months.
Ms. Gallent informed the Board that the statute states the holder of the preliminary subdivision approval
shall return for the final approval within six months. A discussion ensued regarding the period of time
stated in the statute.
Ms. Gallent said Mr. Vanoli stated that conditions in the surrounding area have not changed. The Board
needs to satisfy itself on that point.
Ms. Reader informed the Board that extensions have previously been granted for various reasons on other
cases, as long as no changes have occurred.
Ms. Aisen asked if there is a different perception regarding the drainage system easement, the trees, etc.,
and asked if anything has changed from the Board's perspective as far as wetlands, etc.
Dr. Mason stated this is almost a model project.
Ms. Reader said it was determined indigenous plantings would be used along the property borders, and
asked if a restrictive covenant is imposed.
Mr. Vanoli said there were two concerns; the landscaping was formal and it was softened by using the
indigenous plantings for which approval was received. Also, Gary Trachtman and Shimon Gitlitz were
concerned about the trees being on the drainage easement, so they were removed. The plans have been
amended to show the movement of the trees.
Ms. Reader stated the question is not how it will currently look, but if there is some kind of restrictive
covenant that requires the conditions remain after other owners take possession.
Mr. Vanoli said he does not think there is one.
Dr. Mason said the concern is that someone will come in and strip the land, start the project and at that
time the financing will fall apart.
Ms. Gallent stated that is why a bond is required.
Dr. Mason said he does not feel that is what the Board is faced with in this instance.
Mr. Papazian asked why Mr. Vanoli has not gone forward with the Health Department permit.

Mr. Vanoli said he npMs the approval of the Town Engineer, the Westchester Joint Water Works and those
submissions-have been made.- When those are received, the plat is done and Mr. Vanoli will move
forward.
Dr. Mason asked how detailed the presentations are for the Health Department when there are pools
involved.
Mr. Vanoli said the swimming pool application is primarily with the local building department for private
pools. The Health Department gets involved when there are public pools. The pools are not shown on
the plat.
Mr. Papazian asked if the extension is for December 31, 1997, pursuant to Mr. Vanoli's letter dated July
24, 1997. -
Ms. Reader suggested the.Board consider granting a six month extension from this date.
Mr. Vanoli said it is his intention to hopefully get the matter solved by Thanksgiving, then it will be build
versus bond by law. Mr. Vanoli anticipates building most of the project and bonding the balance.
Ms. Gallent informed the Board that it can rely on the Negative Declaration the Planning Board initially
adopted, as Mr. Vanoli has represented that conditions have not changed, and the Board is satisfied that
that is the case.
Ms. Reader asked if there were any other questions from the public. There being none, on a motion made
by Mr. Darsky, seconded by Ms. Aisen, it was unanimously
RESOLVED, that the Public Hearing be, and hereby is, declared closed.
On a motion made by Dr. Mason, seconded by Ms. Reader, the following resolution was unanimously
APPROVED, 5-0:
WHEREAS, the Planning Board granted Preliminary Subdivision Approval to Demetriades
Developers,Inc., for the construction of a subdivision known as Coventry Court Subdivision to be located
at 1006 Fenimore Road, Block 202, Lots 30 and 110, by resolution dated January 19, 1996; and

Ms. Gallent said she spoke to the Building Inspector and it was recommended the Board insert a condition
to the Special Permit renewal that the repairs to the premises made necessary by the fire are subject to
Building Department approval.
Mr. Darsky asked if that was a customary request.
Ms. Gallent said it is somewhat redundant since there are laws that govern same, but it was specifically
requested by the Building Inspector.
Dr. Mason asked if that meant when there is substantial damage it will be upgraded to the existing fire
code, and would a sprinkler be required.
Ms. Gallent said before the next meeting she will speak to the building inspector to clarify same. Ms.
Gallent asked the secretary to request that the building inspector advise the Board on the current fire code
in existence for that facility,and when there is substantial fire damage are the fire codes upgraded or just
grandfathered.
A discussion ensued regarding the type of operation performed at that location.
