The minutes of the April 26, 1966 meeting were
read. A motion was made by Thomas Graham, seconded by
Richard Jacobson, to approve the minutes of the April 26,
1966 meeting as read. Motion Unanimously Carried
8:00 P.M. - Appeal # 49 - At the request of I.C.B.M.
Homes, Inc. for a 24 ft. rear lot line variance and a
5 -ft. front yard variance for a portion of the lot to
permit construction of retail stores on their parcel of
land located on the west side of Route 9D in Hughsonville,
New York.
Mr. Stephen Puzio was present for the application.
He came before the Board and reviewed with them the
conditions set forth by the Planning Board in its
preliminary approval of the project. Mr. Puzio explained
the proposed layout and pointed out the revisions which
were made on the plans.
The Board called a 5 -minute recess to give those
present an opportunity to view the plans.
The Chairman asked if anyone wished to be heard.
Mr. J. Forrester, resident of Wheeler Hill Road,
asked questions in reference to the sewage disposal system,
proposed water supply, and storm drainage. He objected
to the project because of the traffic situation which
would be created. He felt that the developer is trying
to put too much into too small an area.
Mrs. George Relyea, an abutting owner to the
property, stated that Mr. Puzio is a good man and has
never done anything to her.
Mr. Puzio stated that the land coverage of the
proposed project is under the maximum square footage
allowed.
The hearing was terminated.
The Board had before them a letter which they
drafted to send to the Town Board stating their opinion
in the matter of the amendment to the Zoning Ordinance,
which is proposed by the Planning Board. A copy of the
letter is herewith attached.

A motion was made by Thomas
Gordon Hirt, to submit the letter
written. Motion
May 10, 1966
Graham, seconded by
to the Town Board as
Unanimously Carried
A motion was made by Gordon Hirt, seconded by
Richard Jacobson, to grant the requested variance to
I.C.B.M. Homes, Inc. for a 24 -ft. rear lot line
variance and a 5 -ft. front yard variance for a portion
of the lot to permit construction of retail stores on
their parcel of land located on the west side of Route 9D
in Hughsonville, New York, on the grounds that:
1. A practical difficulty exists because of the
unusual shape of the lot in that the depth of the portion
of the lot where the approval has been granted is
insufficient to allow reasonable sized stores to be
placed thereon.
2. The land is zoned commercial and site plan
approval for the submitted plan has been previously
obtained from the Planning Board.
3. The provision of a 6 -ft. alleyway does provide
sufficient access and/or egress to and from these stores
to allow for refuse disposal, public safety, and fire
protection. Motion Unanimously Carried
A motion was made by Thomas Graham, seconded by
Richard Jacobson, to adjourn the meeting.
Motion Unanimously Carried
