Per Curiam
Defendants appeal from a judgment convicting them of various counts of violating conditions of a special permit granted by the Board of Zoning Appeals. The violations alleged included storing a vehicle and parts in a “green belt” area of their commercial premises, and allowing repairs of a vehicle outside, among other things. Defendants were charged with 71 counts of violating Village of Sea Cliff Code §138-1403(C) in connection with their ownership and operation of an automobile body shop in the village. The panel vacated the counts charging defendants of storing a vehicle and parts in a “green belt” area of the premises noting the proof was insufficient to satisfy prosecutors’ burden of showing that cars or parts were stored there. It stated condition 4 of the permit proscribed storage of any type, rather than mere placement of things, noting there was no definition of storage in the Code, but it was observed that “storage” connotes a “certain degree of permanency.” Also, with regard to photographs showing the placement of a step-stool in the “green-belt” area, there was no proof it was left for a significant amount of time. The convictions for dismantling a vehicle outside were vacated as the evidence did not establish defendants’ guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.
