Motion was made by Mr. Casey, seconded by Mr. VanWagenen that minutes of meeting held March 8, 1988 be approved as written and received by all members by mail. Unanimously carried. The board welcomed George Kolb as a new member of the Zoning Board of Appeals to replace Kenneth Kane. ANN AND KEELER PULLING, 16 NORTH REMSEN AVENUE Chairman stated first order of business would be holding of public hearing on request of Ann and Keeler Pulling, 16 North Remsen Avenue, Village, seeking an area variance to allow the construc- tion of two-car garage on the rear of their property at 16 North Remsen Avenue. Chairman pointed out that the public hearing, originally scheduled for April 5, was postponed to April 12 because of a lack of quorum. All those present on April 5 were advised of the postponed date. Secretary read the Notice of Appeal 92-88 and the legal notice as inserted in the March 23, 1988 edition of Southern Dutchess News. She advised that all property owners within a distance of 200 feet from the subject property had been sent copy of legal notice. Mr. Keeler stated that he is in need of a two-foot setback variance because of the contour of the land. The elevation difference at the rear of the property is too great to allow the building of a garage in the center of the property. When Mr. VanWagenen questioned why he needed a setback when the plan showed he had 20 feet, Mr. Keeler advised that the house is not truly rectangular as shown on sketch and has several jogs in it. After further discussion, Mr. Pacio, deputy zoning enforcement officer, confirmed that Mr. Keeler would have to make a wide swing in order to get into the garage and Mr. Pacio felt Mr. Keeler was not asking for too much of a variance because of the contour of the land.
