Public Hearing on a proposed local amending Section 310 of.the Village Zoning Ordinance and Zoning Map was held on 4-14-93 at 7:45 P..M. rather than 7:15 P.M., due to the ~ expended on the Budget hearing. Mayor Hinzmann read text of the proposed law~ Tr. Usavich reported these requests are being presented as a result of the DiMarco rezoning and stated he had in_specked these properties and the entire area. He said he was totally against this change and, unlike the DeMarco rezoning, these properties have always been residential and change would not benefit the Village nor the surrounding neighborhood. He also stated that, due to the location of the buildings on these properties, there would be no alternate ingress or egress o%her than on Remsen Ave. and there was no adequate screening. He sta%ed changing these tw~ properties to Cc~nercial would be an injustice to the residents of Remsen Ave, as there was no guarantee as to wbmt type of business would go in at a future date. Tr. Usavich reported change of zoning would not autc~a~-~cally increase value of the property. He also said he saw no benefit to the Village or the neighborhood as a result of the rezoning and reiterated his opDosition t~.% change. Tr. Bain reported he was not oppo_ sed to the properties bein~ rezoned but~:~- the text of the proposed law. He stated it doesn't specifically address egress to R~nsen Ave. frcm th~se properties, which have existing curb cuts, as specified in the letter from D.C. Planning Board. Tr. Bain re_ported their letter suggests that cc~nercial use of these properties be ~ontingent upon an agreement to have access through %he DLM~rco property rather than through s ~eperate c~,~rcial entrance at S. Remsen Ave. Cez~tainly the provision of three new c~-~rcial access points on S. Remsen Ave. - one each for Boldrin, Erichsen and Di~{arce should be prevented. Tr. Bain reported that if law contained these points, he would b~ve no objection to Discussion followed on a grandfather clause for ingress and egress to R~nsen Ave. and Atty. Viglotti stated ~his could be made a conditon of the local law. He stated law was drafte~ not knowing what issues could arise in the future. Tr. Bain reported it was the intention tbmt these properties be treated equally. Tr. Napoleon .reported these requests arose at the DLwmrcO rezoning hearing, at which ~me both ~roperty owners were present and exp. ressed concern over their property. He stated it ~as the consensus of the Board, at that time, that these properties be rezoned to CB also. Tr. Nanoleon r ..eported Planning Board recc~mended the change and, it was his opinion, hhat the Village Board made a cu~dtment to these property owners and this hearing was just a formality. Tr. Bain reported there was concern with the isolation of these two properties but, as with the DiMarco rezc~ing, we must he m,~re of the future inpa_ ct on P~en Ave.
