RESOLUTION
107 North Chatsworth Avenue, Town of Mamaroneck, New York
After review, on motion of Irene O'Neill, seconded by Carol Miller, the following resolution
was proposed and unanimously ADOPTED by a vote of 5 to 0, with no abstentions.
WHEREAS, Lindsey and Evan Cohen (the "Applicant") requested a variance to legalize an
existing air conditioning compressor on the premises located at 107 North Chatsworth
Avenue, Town of Mamaroneck, New York and known on the Tax Assessment Map of the
Town of Mamaroneck as Section 1, Block 14, Lot 466; and
WHEREAS, the Building Inspector declined to issue such permit on the following grounds:
The condensing unit in the front yard is 20.8 feet where 30 feet is required, pursuant to Section
240-38B(1); a front yard of 24.3 feet where 30 feet is required, pursuant to Section 240-
38B(1); and further the addition increases the extent by which the building is nonconforming
pursuant to Section 240-69 for a residence in an R-7.5 Zone District(the Notice of
Disapproval); and

WHEREAS, the Applicant submitted to the Zoning Board of the Town of Mamaroneck(the
"Board") an application for relief from the requirements from the Town of Mamaroneck
Zoning Code; and
WHEREAS, the Board examined the plans, inspected the site,reviewed the application and
has heard any and all persons interested in this application after publication of a notice thereof
and a public hearing thereon; and
WHEREAS, this is a Type II action having no significant impact on the environment pursuant
to 6 NYCRR§ 617 et. seq. and accordingly,no further action under SEQRA is required, and
A. The Board finds that the benefit to the applicant from the granting of the variance
outweighs any detriment to the health, safety and welfare of the neighborhood or
community. In reaching this conclusion, the Board considered the following factors.
i. Whether an undesirable change will be produced in the character of the neighborhood
or detriment to nearby properties will be created by granting of the variance.
The Board finds that granting the variance will not produce an undesirable change in the
character of the neighborhood or detriment to nearby properties because the condenser will be
set back far from the street in an area that functions as a side yard and at a considerable
distance from neighboring houses.
ii. Whether the benefit sought by the applicant can be achieved by some means feasible to
the applicants other than an area variance.
The Board finds that the benefit sought by the applicant cannot be achieved by some method
feasible to the applicant not requiring a variance because the house is burdened by two front
yards on a corner lot, each requiring a 30-foot setback, and there is no other suitable location
on the property that would be less intrusive than what is proposed.
iii. Whether the area variance is substantial.
The Board finds that the variance is not substantial because the two units are 25 and 30 feet
from the front lot lines and located in an area which functions as a side yard but, because it's a
corner lot, requires a 30-foot setback.
iv. Whether the proposed variance will have an adverse impact on the physical or
environmental conditions in the neighborhood.
The Board finds that the variance will not adversely impact the local physical or environmental
conditions because the units have a low DBA rating, below 60, and will be located a
considerable distance from neighboring houses.

v. Whether the difficulty is self-created.
The Board finds that the difficulty is self-created, but this factor is not determinative under the
circumstances presented.
B. For the reasons stated above, the granting of the variance is in harmony with the general
purposes and intent of the Town of Mamaroneck Zoning Ordinance and will not be injurious
to the neighborhood or otherwise detrimental to the public welfare.
C. For reasons stated above, the variance is the minimum necessary to alleviate the difficulty
detailed in the application yet also preserves and protects the character of the neighborhood
and the health safety and welfare of the community.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED,that the subject application be and the same is
GRANTED, subject to the following conditions:
1. This variance is limited to the construction shown on the submitted plans as conditioned

RESOLUTION
19 Dillon Road, Town of Mamaroneck,New York
After review, on motion of Steve Marsh, seconded by Carol Miller, the following resolution
was proposed and unanimously ADOPTED by a vote of 5 to 0, with no abstentions.
WHEREAS, David Sesay(the "Applicant")requested a variance to install a fence in the front
yard on the premises located at 19 Dillon Road, Town of Mamaroneck,New York and known
on the Tax Assessment Map of the Town of Mamaroneck as Section 5, Block 5, Lot 16; and
WHEREAS, the Building Inspector declined to issue such permit on the following grounds:

WHEREAS, this is a Type II action having no significant impact on the environment pursuant
to 6 NYCRR§ 617 et. seq. and accordingly, no further action under SEQRA is required, and
A. The Board finds that the benefit to the applicant from the granting of the variance
outweighs any detriment to the health, safety and welfare of the neighborhood or
community. In reaching this conclusion, the Board considered the following factors.
i. Whether an undesirable change will be produced in the character of the neighborhood
or detriment to nearby properties will be created by granting of the variance.
The Board finds that granting the variance will not produce an undesirable change in the
character of the neighborhood or detriment to nearby properties because the fence is on the
applicant's property and not near the edge—it is between the house and the driveway —not
abutting a neighbor's property. Further, to the extent it is visible from the street, the Board
found that it is attractive.
ii. Whether the benefit sought by the applicant can be achieved by some means feasible to
the applicants other than an area variance.
The Board finds that the benefit sought by the applicant cannot be achieved by some method
feasible to the applicant not requiring a variance because the applicant explained that a fence
with the proposed dimensions is necessary to create a usable yard that provides adequate
privacy for the homeowners.
iii. Whether the area variance is substantial.
The Board finds that the variance is not substantial because the fence is set back from the
boundary line of the property and exceeds the maximum height by only one foot.
iv. Whether the proposed variance will have an adverse impact on the physical or
environmental conditions in the neighborhood.
The Board finds that the variance will not adversely impact the local physical or environmental
conditions because it adds no impervious surface,no shadows and no noise.
v. Whether the difficulty is self-created.
The Board finds that the difficulty is self-created, but this factor is not determinative under the
circumstances presented.
B. For the reasons stated above, the granting of the variance is in harmony with the general
purposes and intent of the Town of Mamaroneck Zoning Ordinance and will not be injurious
to the neighborhood or otherwise detrimental to the public welfare.

RESOLUTION
3 Carroll Place,Town of Mamaroneck,New York
After review, on motion of Irene O'Neill, seconded by Carol Miller,the following resolution
was proposed and unanimously ADOPTED by a vote of 5 to 0, with no abstentions.
WHEREAS, Judith Bernstein (the"Applicant")requested a variance for an AC condenser
and deck on the premises located at 3 Carroll Place, Town of Mamaroneck, New York and
known on the Tax Assessment Map of the Town of Mamaroneck as Section 2, Block 22, Lot
428; and
WHEREAS, the Building Inspector declined to issue such permit on the following grounds:
The AC condenser will have a front yard of 11 feet where 30 feet is permitted pursuant to
Section 240-37B(1), the deck will has a rear yard of 20.5 feet where 25 is permitted pursuant
to Section 240-37 B(3); and further the addition increases the extent by which the building is
nonconforming pursuant to Section 240-69 for a building in an R-10 Zone District
(the Notice of Disapproval); and
WHEREAS, the Applicant submitted to the Zoning Board of the Town of Mamaroneck(the
"Board") an application for relief from the requirements from the Town of Mamaroneck

Zoning Board of Appeals
June 28, 2023
i. Whether an undesirable change will be produced in the character of the neighborhood
or detriment to nearby properties will be created by granting of the variance.
The Board finds that granting the variance will not produce an undesirable change in the
character of the neighborhood or detriment to nearby properties because (i)the condenser will
be on the side of the house, well-screened and there is a large right-of-way making it visually
unobtrusive to neighbors and from the street; (ii) the existing deck will be extended into a
small niche in the back of the house with no visual impact.
ii. Whether the benefit sought by the applicant can be achieved by some means feasible to
the applicants other than an area variance.
The Board finds that the benefit sought by the applicant cannot be achieved by some method
feasible to the applicant not requiring a variance because (i) given the configuration of the lot,
the layout of the house and proximity to neighbors, the proposed location for the condenser is
ideal; and (ii) the least intrusive way to expand the deck is into the rear yard niche, which will
encroach less than the existing stairs from the current deck.
iii. Whether the area variance is substantial.
The Board finds that the variance is not substantial because (i) the condenser is next to a large
right of way and heavily screened; and (ii) the deck is relatively small and tucked away behind
the house.
iv. Whether the proposed variance will have an adverse impact on the physical or
environmental conditions in the neighborhood.
The Board finds that the variance will not adversely impact the local physical or environmental
conditions because (i) the condenser is far from neighboring houses, quiet and well screened;
and (ii)the deck is small in sign and pervious, allowing water to pass through.
v. Whether the difficulty is self-created.
The Board finds that the difficulty is self-created, but this factor is not determinative under the
circumstances presented.
B. For the reasons stated above, the granting of the variance is in harmony with the general
purposes and intent of the Town of Mamaroneck Zoning Ordinance and will not be injurious
to the neighborhood or otherwise detrimental to the public welfare.
C. For reasons stated above, the variance is the minimum necessary to alleviate the difficulty
detailed in the application yet also preserves and protects the character of the neighborhood
and the health safety and welfare of the community.

Zoning Board of Appeals
June 28, 2023
After review, on motion of Randy Heller, seconded by Steve Marsh, the following resolution
was proposed and unanimously ADOPTED by a vote of 5 to 0, with no abstentions.
WHEREAS, Caroline O'Hara (the "Applicant")requested a variance to install a deck on the
premises located at 2 Forest Place, Town of Mamaroneck, New York and known on the Tax
Assessment Map of the Town of Mamaroneck as Section 2, Block 23, Lot 1; and
WHEREAS, the Building Inspector declined to issue such permit on the following grounds:
As-built deck has a side yard setback of 0.7' where 5' is required, pursuant to 240-50, and
further the deck increases the extent by which the property is nonconforming pursuant to
Section 240-69 for a building in an R-10 Zone District(the Notice of Disapproval); and
WHEREAS, the Applicant submitted to the Zoning Board of the Town of Mamaroneck(the
"Board") an application for relief from the requirements from the Town of Mamaroneck
Zoning Code; and
WHEREAS, the Board examined the plans, inspected the site,reviewed the application and
has heard any and all persons interested in this application after publication of a notice thereof
and a public hearing thereon; and
WHEREAS, this is a Type II action having no significant impact on the environment pursuant
to 6 NYCRR§ 617 et. seq. and accordingly, no further action under SEQRA is required, and
A. The Board finds that the benefit to the applicant from the granting of the variance
outweighs any detriment to the health, safety and welfare of the neighborhood or community.
In reaching this conclusion, the Board considered the following factors.
i. Whether an undesirable change will be produced in the character of the neighborhood or
detriment to nearby properties will be created by granting of the variance.
The Board finds that granting the variance will not produce an undesirable change in the
character of the neighborhood or detriment to nearby properties because the deck is near grade
and functions more like a patio, it was built more than 20 years ago and existed through three
prior owners without complaint and it is almost invisible because it is well screened by dense
plantings and an ivy-covered fence.
ii. Whether the benefit sought by the applicant can be achieved by some means feasible to
the applicants other than an area variance.
The Board finds that the benefit sought by the applicant cannot be achieved by some method
feasible to the applicant not requiring a variance because it is a corner lot, on rock and without
this "deck"there would be no flat usable surface on that side of the house.
11
Zoning Board of Appeals
June 28, 2023
iii. Whether the area variance is substantial.
The Board finds that the variance is not substantial because it is close to grade and well-
screened, making it barely visible from neighbors or the street.
iv. Whether the proposed variance will have an adverse impact on the physical or
environmental conditions in the neighborhood.
The Board finds that the variance will not adversely impact the local physical or environmental
conditions because it contributes no massing to the property.
v. Whether the difficulty is self-created.
The Board finds that the difficulty is not self-created because they did not install the "deck"
and had no reason to believe it was nonconforming.
B. For the reasons stated above, the granting of the variance is in harmony with the general
purposes and intent of the Town of Mamaroneck Zoning Ordinance and will not be injurious
to the neighborhood or otherwise detrimental to the public welfare.
C. For reasons stated above, the variance is the minimum necessary to alleviate the difficulty
detailed in the application yet also preserves and protects the character of the neighborhood
and the health safety and welfare of the community.

review and approval by the Building Inspector prior to the granting of the building permit.
3. The Applicant shall obtain a building permit within six (6)months of the filing of this

RESOLUTION
2 Wildwood Road, Town of Mamaroneck,New York
After review, on motion of Arthur Wexler, seconded by Irene O'Neill, the following resolution
was proposed and unanimously ADOPTED by a vote of 5 to 0, with no abstentions.
WHEREAS, Jason Hanlon & Dara Liotta (the"Applicant") requested a variance to install a
hot tub and patio/grill area on the premises located at 2 Wildwood Road, Town of
Mamaroneck, New York and known on the Tax Assessment Map of the Town of Mamaroneck
as Section 1, Block 16, Lot 201; and
WHEREAS, the Building Inspector declined to issue such permit on the following grounds:
Proposed hot tub will have a rear yard setback of 9.3' where 20' is required, pursuant to 192-5
A (1) (b); Proposed hot tub will have a side yard setback of 5'where 15' is required, pursuant
13
Zoning Board of Appeals
June 28, 2023
to 192-5 A (1) (a); Proposed patio/grill area will have a front yard setback of 6.9' where 30'is
required, pursuant to 240-38 B (1) is required for a building in an R-7.5 Zone District(the
Notice of Disapproval); and
WHEREAS, the Applicant submitted to the Zoning Board of the Town of Mamaroneck(the
"Board") an application for relief from the requirements from the Town of Mamaroneck
Zoning Code; and
WHEREAS, the Board examined the plans, inspected the site, reviewed the application and
has heard any and all persons interested in this application after publication of a notice thereof
and a public hearing thereon; and
WHEREAS, the plans show a 10-foot-high lattice fence, which, according to the Building
Inspector, requires a variance; and
WHEREAS, this is a Type II action having no significant impact on the environment pursuant
to 6 NYCRR§ 617 et. seq. and accordingly, no further action under SEQRA is required, and
A. The Board finds that the benefit to the applicant from the granting of the variance
outweighs any detriment to the health, safety and welfare of the neighborhood or community.
In reaching this conclusion, the Board considered the following factors.
i. Whether an undesirable change will be produced in the character of the neighborhood or
detriment to nearby properties will be created by granting of the variance.
The Board finds that granting the variance will not produce an undesirable change in the
character of the neighborhood or detriment to nearby properties because, given the extent of
the deep, dense and high vegetation along Wildwood and up toward back of their property, the
patio area can't be seen from the street or from the neighboring property along Wildwood and
it is also screened by vegetation from the neighboring property along Rockingstone.
ii. Whether the benefit sought by the applicant can be achieved by some means feasible to
the applicants other than an area variance.
The Board finds that the benefit sought by the applicant cannot be achieved by some method
feasible to the applicant not requiring a variance because the configuration of the lot and the
placement of the house would require a variance for any change to the patio area.
iii. Whether the area variance is substantial.
The Board finds that the variance is not substantial because the patio is at grade and not visible
from adjoining streets or properties and the hot tub will be well screened.
14
Zoning Board of Appeals
June 28, 2023
iv. Whether the proposed variance will have an adverse impact on the physical or
environmental conditions in the neighborhood.
The Board finds that the variance will not adversely impact the local physical or environmental
conditions because it adds no lighting, no additional sound and will meet all applicable
drainage and safety requirements.
v. Whether the difficulty is self-created.
The Board finds that the difficulty is self-created, but this factor is not determinative under the
circumstances presented.
B. For the reasons stated above, the granting of the variance is in harmony with the general
purposes and intent of the Town of Mamaroneck Zoning Ordinance and will not be injurious
to the neighborhood or otherwise detrimental to the public welfare.
C. For reasons stated above, the variance is the minimum necessary to alleviate the difficulty
detailed in the application yet also preserves and protects the character of the neighborhood
and the health safety and welfare of the community.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED,that the subject application be and the same is
GRANTED, subject to the following conditions:
1. This variance is limited to the construction shown on the submitted plans as conditioned
and/or modified in accordance with the direction of the Board as agreed to by the Applicant.
2. The Applicant shall submit plans reflecting any conditions or modifications as above for the
review and approval by the Building Inspector prior to the granting of the building permit.
