Description
The City of Beacon Zoning Board training session on discussion of 2023 training topics and examples
A
B
A
E
A
D
A
A
So
those
are
just
some
administrative
items.
So
if
we
want
to
do
the
extension
and
then
after
that
my
plan
was
to
talk
about
the
training
session
for
tonight's
meeting,
I
thought
could
be
a
strategy
meeting
about
what
we
expect
for
next
year.
What
trainings
we
want
to
do
so
we'll
get
to
that
after
the
extension
cool,
so
I,
don't
have
any
power
points
tonight
or
anything
any
official
training.
A
What
I
want
to
do
since
we
haven't
met
for
a
couple
months,
is
talk
about
what
our
goals
might
be
for
2023
and
what
some
of
the
training
items
we
might
want
to
discuss
could
be
just
to
kick
it
off.
We
have
a
new
board
member
coming
he's
going
to
be
with
us
in
January
I
thought
we
would
go
through
just
the
the
overview
of
what
our
responsibilities
are.
I
know
we've
seen
it
we've
done
this.
A
A
But
I
think
that'll
be
a
good
start
and
that
might
take
January
and
February.
But
after
that
I
really
you
know
we
usually
do
a
case
law
update.
So
we
could
do
that
but
like
what's
what's
going
on
in
your
minds,
what
are
we
thinking
for
for
training
this
year?
What
would
you
like
me
to
prepare
or
do
or
bring
to
the
table.
F
A
A
And
some
you
know,
I
might
not
be
able
to
do
that.
A
lot
of
their
meetings
are
going
to
be
standard
setback
variances,
you
know,
side
yard
and
there
might
not
be
anything
to
bring
to
the
table,
but
maybe
we
get
something
new
and
I
can
definitely
prepare
something
so
that
prior
in
the
training
session,
we
can.
E
G
G
B
B
Just
you
know,
obviously
you
said
January
and
February
the
five,
the
five
factors
and
four
factors.
Just
you
know
for
the
new
member
general.
What
we
do
and
I
think
that
is
something
you
know.
I
want
to
stress
to
the
public
right,
so
I
know
I've
been
watching
the
City
Council
meetings
and
obviously
they
want
transparency
and
so
I
think
explaining
maybe
to
the
public
prior
to
the
start
of
each
meeting.
You
know
maybe
like
a
a
brief
overview.
I
can
write
it
or
we
can
write
it
together.
B
Drew
of
what
the
five
factors
are.
You
know
kind
of
layman's
terms
and
that's
what
we
can
consider.
So
we
can't
really
consider
people's
feelings.
It's
not
you
know
a
popularity
contest
and,
and
so
they
should
frame
their
comments
to
the
five
factors
and
if
they
don't
really
frame
their
argument
to
the
five
factors
it's
kind
of
irrelevant
and
that
may
help
the
public
maybe
feel
more
heard.
A
Yeah
I
think
that's
a
great
idea
with
a
lot
of
my
other
boards.
The
chairs
have
intros
that
they
give
at
every
meeting
for,
and
it's
not
for
the
board
members
it's
for
the
public
and
the
applicant
so
that
they
know
walking
in
what
are
the
rules
and
we
don't
get,
especially
with
with
the
zba
we're
getting
a
lot
of
laymens.
You
know
we're
not
getting
a
lot
of
attorneys
coming
before
us.
A
B
E
B
Had
an
intro,
yeah
I
just
think
you
know
it
gets
lost
and
you
know
people.
Obviously
people
are
on
some
certain
things
they're
emotionally
charged.
They
just
talk
about
how
you
know
it's
unfair
or
like
whatever
and
it's
kind
of
like
okay.
Well,
if
you
framed
your
argument
a
little
better
and
knew
what
you
should
talk
about
like
it's,
you
know
negatively
affecting
the
characteristic
of
the
neighborhood,
because
X
Y
and
Z
it
could
be
a
little
more
relevant
to
something
that
we
could
consider
than
I.
Don't
know
some
of
the
arguments
that
we
hear.
C
E
A
The
four
factors,
and
that
would
help
this
board-
make
a
decision,
help
your
questioning
as
well
and
help
them
realize
you
know
if
they
can,
maybe
they
can
reduce
it
in
an
area
based
on
what
we're,
what
they're
hearing
and
what
the
rules
are
so
great
so
we'll
maybe
we
can
get
that
ready
for
January
we'll
do
like
a
test
run
of
some
language.
Great
but
I
have
I,
have
some
ideas
on
that
all
right.
A
E
C
A
E
C
A
C
E
A
A
A
G
E
G
A
No
yeah,
so
if
you
go
on
a
lot
of
the
times,
I
don't
know
if
we
have
recently
but
like
Dutchess,
County
Department
of
planning
they'll
do
some
programs,
the
planning
Federation
does
programs.
There
are
other
agencies
besides
me
that
put
on
training
for
members
of
planning
and
zoning
boards,
and
if
you
ever
come
across
something
that
you're
interested
in
attending,
you
can
attend
it
and
you
let
us
know,
and
we
can
give
you
credit,
and
it
doesn't
have
to
be
specifically
for
planning
or
zoning
members.
A
But
if
you
attend
a
program-
and
you
think
that
this
has
some
relevance
to
being
a
zoning
Board
member,
you
can
send
us
a
description
of
the
program
and
we
can
approve
it.
So
it
doesn't
have
to
just
be
training
held
here.
It
can
be
other
training
elsewhere
and
it
doesn't
have
to
be.
It
doesn't
have
to
say
four
zoning
board
members.
It
can
be
anything.
A
Well,
you're
not
mandated
to
take
any
that
you're
mandated
to
do
you
know
four
hours
but
you're
not
mandated
to
take
anything.
We
had
required
I
think
because
we
fell
behind
with
training
I.
Think
in
2020
we
had
said
we.
We
had
asked
every
board
member
to
do
the
state
training
yeah
yeah,
so
we
we
mandated
it
to
catch
everybody
up
on
their
on
their
training.
A
A
A
B
A
A
D
D
A
Do
you
guys
normally
get
you
yeah?
We
try
and
forward
it'll
come
to
I,
think
Amanda
gets
them
or
I
get
them.
So
if
we
forward
them
to
the
board,
but
that's
another
good
outlet
for
additional
training,
Westchester
County,
Planning,
Federation
I,
know
they're
doing
all
their
programming
online,
so
that
makes
it
accessible.
A
D
A
A
A
B
A
You
can
feel
free
to
free
to
do
it
on
do
it
on
your
own,
and
we
could
do
you
know
everybody
if
everybody's
doing
training
on
your
own.
Maybe
that
means
we
do
less
trainings
here
collectively
yeah.
So
there
are
a
lot
of
a
lot
of
options,
but
you
know
you
don't
have
to
do
a
training
outside
of
here
altogether.
You
don't
have
to
call
each
other
up
and
be
like
all
right
guys.
It's
carpool,
yeah.
B
B
B
C
B
G
A
E
A
B
A
B
A
B
A
B
E
B
A
Well,
that's
interesting
because
we
that
would
come
that
would
already
be
coming
to
the
zoning
board
and
we'd
probably
just
address.
It
wouldn't
be
an
appeal
of
Bruce's
decision,
it's
already
at
the
zoning
board.
So
we
could
talk
about
it
and
we
could
say
you
know
what
actually,
for
these
reasons
and
we'd
be
speaking
with
Bruce.
A
There
was
one
we
did
on
Eliza
street,
that
was
an
area
variance
and
then
we
no
it
was
a
use
variance,
and
then
we
looked
and
we
said
we
also
need
an
area
of
variance.
So
we
added
the
area
variance
to
their
application
and
they
had
to
re-notice
and
then
that
moved
forward
with
the
use
in
area
variance
request.
A
Another
one
you
might
get
is,
let's
say
someone
said
that
this
use
was
permitted
right
and
it
went
for
a
it
was
issued.
A
building
permit,
someone
who
might
feel
adversely
affected
can
appeal
to
the
zoning
board
and
say
no,
that
use
is
not
permitted
and
then
this
board
would
review
whether
or
not
the
use
was
permitted.
B
A
A
A
Great
but
I
think
I
think
that's
another
good
topic
in
some
municipalities.
Zoning
boards
do
special
use
permits,
but
this
board
doesn't
have
any
authority
over
any
other
permit.
So
it's
just
use
area
and
your
general
interpretations
of
reviews,
which
is
all
from
you
know,
State
authorized
men
then
carried
through
within
the
city
code.
A
D
A
A
A
E
A
You're
not
increasing
the
use
by
25
and
I.
You
know
what
I
think
it's
specifically
about
use
and
not
parking.
If
you're
not
increasing
the
use
capacity
by
25,
then
you
don't
need
to
comply
with
the
new
parking
standards.
That
would
that's
what
it
was,
so
their
parking
hasn't
changed,
but
they've
reduced
the
maximum
capacity
of
the
building
which
brought
it
down
to
the
25.
It's
all
shooting
back
to
me.
Yes,
so
the
parking
didn't
change.
They
changed
their
capacity.
B
A
But
all
right
guys
well
I,
don't
want
to
keep
you
here
any
any
longer.
But
if
anyone
has
any
ideas
that
come
to,
you
just
feel
free
to
shoot
me.
An
email
and
I'll
put
them
on
my
list,
and
you
know
we'll
we'll
get
going
in
2023
hit
the
ground
running.
That's
what
I
was
trying
to
say
we're
going
to
hit
the
ground
running.
