<br />Avenue, Village, seeking a variance to conver the premises at 7 Mill St., Village, into
<br />commercial offices and dwelling units. Said variances are being requested due to the

<br />Chairmen Savelli pointed out the above mentioned group had been before the Zoning Board
<br />previously and they had been granted approval for their requests. He stated that the
<br />as the time limit for the variance had run out~ Community Services had to apply again.

<br />Secretary read the notice of appeal, the legal notice as it appeared in the Southern
<br />Dutchess News and the comments from County Planning. As County Piannlng did not con-
<br />firm their approval or disapproval by letter, they advised the Board against taking
<br />action. When asked if the Board could give approval contingent upon receipt of the
<br />letter, and the Planner stated that this Is a tricky question. He said he did not
<br />see why it could not be done, but he would advise against it.
<br />Margaret O'Leary, Executive Director, Community Services addressed the Board. She
<br />stated that the structure would not be changed, They are going to use the plans that
<br />were origlnally presented to the Board. The building is historical and this one reason
<br />for the delay. The State had to approve the design. On December 16, 1986, Washington
<br />gave approval for the design. This is not a tax Investment and restrictions are some-
<br />what less than others.
