Appeal No. 13-7506
Presticte Mini (Krisuien Realty, L.P.)-Is seeking an area variance of Section 240-37
& 240.29 F (2) (a) of Zoning Regulations in an HB Zoning District.
-Where an automobile disnlav structure must be 75 feet from the property line

automobile display structure, thus requesting a front yard variance of 22 feet.

Ms. Van Tuyl: My name is Jennifer Van Tuyl and I am representing Prestige Mini.
We are here for a single area variance. A setback variance where
75 feet is required, we can only provide 53 feet for a display
structure for a single mini vehicle. We reviewed this the last time
and you have a photograph in your packet. Mini is a dealership that

doesn't like to have a whole row of cars on the front property line.
In the Town of Wappinger you are permitted to have cars displays
in the front of a dealership. Ironically, this display of a single car
requires a variance because it is considered a structure. The nature
of the land is causing all this. As you saw when you went out
there, the property to the south of it is a higher elevation. There is
a curve in the road and there is a lot of excess right away.
Mr. Paggi: I don't know what more can be said after Jennifer's explanation.
There is a safety factor with this. We are hoping between the sign
and the little cube that the folks will be able to see the dealership.
They can be prepared to pull into the site without passing it and
having to turn around to come back.
Mr. Casella: If you are going North on Route 9, it is right after the Valvoline.
Mr. Paggi: Correct.
Mr. Casella: It is kind of tough to see when you come around that corner. Do
you think the sign is going to be in the right location? People are
doing 55-65 MPH.
Mr. Paggi: Other then coming forward more it is really the only spot for it.
Mr. Casella: Are you going to cut down any of that brush?
Mr. Paggi: Yes and I have a landscape plan. Right in the middle of this
(looking at the map) is going to be the cube and we are hoping it is
visible.
Mr. Prager: If it is where it is, people will slow down before the entrance.
Mr. Paggi: It is a bright color and the mini is very distinguished.
Mr. Prager: Does anyone on the board have any questions? Anyone in the
audience have any questions?
Mr. Bettina: As the councilman for this area, I think it is a great project and it
will generate jobs.
Mr. Prager: Thank you.
Mr. Horan: For the record, within the SEQRA review the Planning Board issued
a Negative Declaration. This board now can vote on this variance.
