John Woodruff, the project architect, said the subdivision would create two conforming lots except for one lot that will be 68.5 feet wide where 70 feet is required; he added the applicant obtained a zoning-board variance for that minor deficiency in March. “We went to the zoning board and got a unanimous decision of, for approval,” Woodruff said. The board’s approval tonight covers the subdivision only; each proposed home will return to the planning board later for site-plan review.

Neighbors and a former nearby owner objected on community-preservation grounds. Anita Hill spoke for a nearby former owner who could not attend and read a letter expressing disappointment that the property would be split rather than retained as a single lot. “She said she felt betrayed,” Hill said, describing the former owner’s wish that the property remain as sold to a single household.

Woodruff said the buyers are two sisters who initially tried to design one shared home but chose separate single-family houses because of differing preferences. The applicant noted there is space on the lots for standard on-site parking and said no further variances would be required to build single-family homes; the architect estimated homes of 3,000–4,000 square feet could be accommodated without additional variances.

The planning board attached a condition requiring the applicant to amend record plans to designate the subdivided parcels as Block 103, Lot 16 (closest to Hudson Park Road) and Block 103, Lot 18 (closest to Lot 22) prior to signature submission. The board declared lead agency, adopted a negative declaration under SEQRA and voted to approve the subdivision; motions passed by voice vote.

Board members noted the surrounding street includes a mix of single-family and multifamily properties and said the block could accommodate another single-family house without changing neighborhood character. The applicant will return to the board with site-plan applications for the two future dwellings.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","New Rochelle - Planning - Apr 22, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","The planning board approved a subdivision to split a vacant lot on Wild Cliff Drive into two single-family building lots after the zoning board granted a minor lot-width variance; neighbors voiced concern about preserving the lot’s landscape.","taxTitle","New Rochelle, Westchester County, New York","taxId",76423,"location","New York","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":77,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":78,"_41":79,"_43":80,"_45":81,"_47":82,"_49":83,"_51":84,"_53":85,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":86,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":87,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6575542,"Planning board approves Temple Israel swim facilities at Camp Pinebrook with drainage and fencing conditions",1136,2225000,3361000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3093107-38ce458f654b4fe35f902fc08b56db37&start=2225&end=3361","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3093107-38ce458f654b4fe35f902fc08b56db37/thumbnail_2225000.jpg","/articles/6575542/New-York/Planning-board-approves-Temple-Israel-swim-facilities-at-Camp-Pinebrook-with-drainage-and-fencing-conditions","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6575542-bc91eb32911c7df1290012730e12fd96/orig.mp4?Expires=1771154217&Signature=e0Zw2CT4WeD9EyozoD9rijcB9fBeaCx~vUsPa8lDdwzVrqY6QriH~Fe12mGnpXGrXjUpugPmG0AM5WZgX3y3ybURd1b2fNQC6BU5eFNJzAbfeWwA8pnsEqJPpibXzYhoiluzv40Apj6iJslPzJ6IZP7oX3xUIduqbXAXKeqLJoYkpLygB5rhkt94yqQJsjn1F0ckRPyegrap2Eo2-Yy5FjT6yWCRrKDo1vL8YKbU~Vjk-y1iYDCIV1Q9pU9pb5IjXkoqOBl7FvFoeshckpJKXE~GxOcAtxfDXyJzgLA~IdVeiWgEL81nutlXtAS8aa9PfR5-iPMygVRmBUjRm85B0g__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The New Rochelle Planning Board on April 22 approved a site plan amendment for Temple Israel of New Rochelle to replace an existing basketball court with a swimming pool, a wading pool and a pump house at Camp Pinebrook, 1000 Pinebrook Boulevard.

Jennifer Gray, an attorney with Keen and Bean representing the applicant, said the amendment is to meet camp programming needs and allow deeper-water instruction. “That swimming pool would have a depth of up to 6 feet,” John Petrosini, the project engineer, told the board, explaining that the two existing pools are shallower and the new pool would accommodate older campers who require deeper water for swim lessons.

The board’s approval comes with conditions intended to address drainage and safety. Staff read conditions requiring the applicant to remedy any damage to city rights-of-way during construction, to comply with fire code, to review and address drainage to the satisfaction of the building official prior to issuance of a building permit, and to install fencing around the wading pool.

Petrosini described the site as a 15-acre property in the R-1-15 district and said the proposed new pump house causes a small increase in impervious surface—about 0.6 percent—because it sits slightly outside the former basketball-court footprint. He told the board the project team has pursued county health-department review and completed two rounds of comment; he said the county requested city input before proceeding further. As part of the plan, the team will shift the existing fence roughly 10 feet toward the current play field edge, relocate the guard/attendant booth and extend plantings to provide screening between the pools and the parking lot.

On stormwater, Petrosini said DEC guidance requires treating a pool as full for stormwater calculations and that the design provides about seven inches of freeboard (the team said the health-code minimum is six inches). He said drainage work will tie new pump-house roof leaders into the existing drainage system and likely reduce, though not eliminate, flow toward a known low point adjacent to a neighbor’s property.

A resident asked whether the congregation or public members would use the pool; applicants said the facility is for the camp and congregation members and is available for private rentals, not general public membership. The board also sought confirmation that the new pool area would be fenced and separated from the existing pools; Petrosini said the design will include a four-foot chain-link fence separating the wading pool and that the applicants would comply with health-department fencing guidance.

The board voted to declare lead agency for SEQRA, adopted a negative declaration, and then approved the site plan amendment with the listed conditions. The applicant accepted the conditions and the board’s motion to approve passed by voice vote.","The board approved a site plan amendment for Temple Israel of New Rochelle to remove a basketball court and install a swimming pool, wading pool and pump house at Camp Pinebrook, subject to drainage review by the building official and fencing around the wading pool.",{"_33":89,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":90,"_41":91,"_43":92,"_45":80,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6575547,"Planning board approves gate, parking changes at 175 Memorial Highway with conditions",1319,906000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3093107-38ce458f654b4fe35f902fc08b56db37&start=906&end=2225","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3093107-38ce458f654b4fe35f902fc08b56db37/thumbnail_906000.jpg","/articles/6575547/New-York/Planning-board-approves-gate-parking-changes-at-175-Memorial-Highway-with-conditions","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6575547-6c0ed1a32160da001c507fc3a7850793/orig.mp4?Expires=1771154217&Signature=TkRLG-Y2hagb-GSUhshCo9DIkkGxrpcv58CBHh8U6mGMksnbcGbPdTVARUjIm7qPG0uijI6I2i0axuaJsq5R9U5OwKLpWhg6Ty3DF0q~DGp6S47KRnjs~FNWpeZol-MzxQln9SmeP4rKFQIQJh7g5ojDPHiPtQiCjPJPQ9FIM3i66XCfP5Pr~16ZmUmTlBga5lvbG1BDweBueHAtKdFDStAbeJBlHbKQLaV0bUCKP2SvU9JnfWuaaUCNgd4l~dQ-s2h5aH1x4O2ows2lfq2ckGRCqM5qIET7KdmS-bZq0bajXhx5lykWnMsKh99ePg7sw2sFPAwhYY9YAjXeo6w1HQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The New Rochelle Planning Board on April 22 approved site plan changes at 175 Memorial Highway to legalize an automated entry/exit gate and adjust nearby parking and landscaping.

The action applies to application PB30-2024 by Robert Keeler on behalf of Medical Vision LLC. Robert Keeler, a registered architect, said the gate and a fence were installed without a permit and that the application proposes relocating the gate and fence to provide an 18-foot vehicle queueing distance from the property line, a five-foot planting buffer and the elimination of three parking spaces to achieve the clearances. “We are proposing the modifications to the gate for all the proper clearances, planting buffers, and whatnot,” Keeler told the board.

The board’s decision matters to nearby pedestrians, adjacent property owners and drivers because the redesign moves the fence five feet into the parking lot, eliminates three spaces and requires new traffic signage. Benito Cejas, senior project manager with the city, read conditions that the board attached to approval, including remedies for any damage to city rights-of-way during construction, installation of no-left and no-right turn signs tied to Burling Lane’s planned conversion to one-way traffic, and a requirement that the exit gate arm be at least 18 feet from the property line on Accessory Lot B.

Board members pressed for clarity about the planting buffer and sight lines. Kate Mercado asked whether the proposed planting would sit on the church property adjacent to the lot; Keeler said the planting and moved fence would be on the applicant’s property and agreed to a condition to ensure plantings remain within Medical Vision’s parcel. The board also required mirrors to improve exit visibility and a maintenance obligation so shrubs are trimmed to preserve sight lines.

The plan removes a small attendant booth to make room for one of the planting beds and relocates three parking stalls that were not previously striped. Keeler said three existing spaces will be removed to provide the 18-foot clearance needed for cars to queue off the sidewalk. The board asked staff to review parking stalls 16 and 17 for possible redesign or designation as compact spaces because of tight turning clearances.

The board first declared itself lead agency for SEQRA, issued a negative declaration, and then approved the site plan. The motions were moved and seconded and passed by voice vote.

Conditions attached to approval include: remediation of any right‑of‑way damage to the satisfaction of the Department of Public Works; obtaining New York State Department of Transportation concurrence with the driveway location if necessary; that construction and improvements occur only within the applicant’s property unless written authorization is provided; installation of mirrors to improve visibility at the exit; installation of specified no-turn signage connected to Burling Lane’s conversion; maintenance of plantings to preserve sight lines; and staff review and potential redesign or compact‑designation of parking spaces 16 and 17.

The board opened the matter for public comment and received none. The applicant accepted the stated conditions, and the board voted to approve the site plan.","The New Rochelle Planning Board approved site plan changes at 175 Memorial Highway to legalize an automated entry/exit gate, relocate a fence, remove three parking spaces and add a five‑foot planting buffer, subject to conditions including mirrors, signage and review of two tight parking stalls.","actionData","errors"]
