The applicants described two‑family, 3‑bedroom layouts on 5,250‑square‑foot lots (28 Millington was explicitly listed as a 5,250 sq ft lot), with front porches, shingle and board‑and‑batten siding and black metal railings; the presenters said they would bring material samples to the next meeting.

Board members raised a sequence of concerns that led to adjourning the items: several standard submittals were not present together (physical shingle and siding samples, window manufacturer product data, lighting cut sheets and planting lists), and the board asked for clarity on basement layouts because the basement showed a full bathroom and separate entrance that could be interpreted as an independent unit for zoning purposes. The board noted that a variance had been granted earlier in the process and reminded applicants to coordinate with the building and zoning departments on basement occupancy rules.

The chair and board members said they preferred seeing all samples in hand (shingles, windows, finishes) before making a determination; accordingly, members moved and seconded motions to adjourn both 28 and 30 Millington to the next meeting.

The applicant described returning the facade to a configuration similar to two neighboring properties, opening an enclosed front entry and using gray vinyl siding and asphalt shingles; the proposal includes a three‑story plan with living spaces on the first floor and bedrooms above.

Board members and staff identified multiple missing or incomplete items in the submission and declined to approve the application at that meeting. Requested submittals included manufacturer cut sheets for vinyl siding (brand and color), window product specifications and cut sheets, door sample and finish, lighting fixture cut sheets, a full landscaping plan with native/adaptive plant substitutions (the submission included azaleas the board noted were non‑native), and masonry/parapet details. The board emphasized that these are standard materials the review board expects to receive to assess finish compatibility and that the applicant should return with a complete package.

The board also discussed the basement layout and finishes, clarified which elevations will be stucco versus vinyl siding, and asked for door and window samples to be provided to staff so that the board can perform a material review. The transcript records multiple exchanges advising the applicant to bring physical samples; the board explicitly said it will not approve the application until planning staff and the board can review the items together.

Outcome: No certificate of appropriateness was granted at the meeting. The applicant was directed to submit the missing materials and to return for reconsideration at a future meeting.","An application to reconstruct a fire‑damaged, street‑facing single‑family building at 335 South Eighth Avenue prompted multiple requests from the board for missing product cut sheets, sample colors and a full landscaping plan; the board did not approve the certificate of appropriateness pending those submissions.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_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":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6133279,"Board approves storefront relocation at 31457 Brampton Avenue with finish and signage conditions",943,1180000,2123000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5704970-73aeceae978a5c06750d67e98a983672&start=1180&end=2123","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5704970-73aeceae978a5c06750d67e98a983672/thumbnail_1180000.jpg","/articles/6133279/Mount-Vernon/Westchester-County/New-York/Board-approves-storefront-relocation-at-31457-Brampton-Avenue-with-finish-and-signage-conditions","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6133279-0172ea48fd508487f56f1ecae4f264cb/orig.mp4?Expires=1771037056&Signature=OSVllFbx~1sS1CyLije31sy95n3dgV0HIfmRJunKzf5QxZ4agWKLdG93IdNBxN3bkerdzekSAkHzjQRSB5N7kCjq6KzN6XbZaFeYDHxq4brCuciWL2g~Y9ZUOB9RnuQ6XjCBfLnAiXdk7PFBL~m8YM9Us-qrMIYC0NQbGgPpC5PsdgWYltmgL7Ld1zVaOxFGBI8cs5ABrbc9KMjaD6cYhPUBW-OS~PuWuVAE8WY8bvo8a1E5nV1tLWvvB1PMF3cDHH3oKw7~6fT9ExhCE8HZr2Gg3Qjnam1F6FO53ew~VrqFaKSm8kxeSaTr~lnF00Kx1~Vk93ed5bdZmMjfEKrnpg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The local review board approved a certificate of appropriateness for tenant and storefront alterations at 31457 Brampton Avenue, an application by owner Adrian Sullivan and represented by Shahid Badali and a lead designer identified as Kevin. The approval covered interior occupancy changes and an exterior storefront alteration that relocates the main entrance within the storefront run; the board’s approval included conditions for exterior finishes and future signage submissions.

Board members emphasized consistency with historic façade elements: they directed that the relocated storefront doors and window frames use a silver finish to match the existing marble and metal panels, recommended polishing and restoration of the existing marble surround, and asked the applicant to return with a proposed sign package (the board suggested white or silver die‑cut metal letters as an example). The board and the applicant discussed preserving the marble element above the door and keeping finishes consistent across the storefront to respect the building’s historic character.

The motion to approve with these conditions passed by voice vote; transcript records “Aye” from members but does not include a roll‑call tally or full mover/second names. The board noted tenants will return with final sign details and cut sheets for windows and doors as part of the follow‑up process. The board did not place other design restrictions beyond finish consistency and the requirement to submit signage for review.","The board approved a certificate of appropriateness for a storefront door relocation and interior tenant changes at 31457 Brampton Avenue, imposing conditions that exterior finishes match existing silver tones, the marble surround be restored/polished and proposed signage be submitted for review.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6133284,"Board approves 3‑story, 12‑unit building at North Terrace with lighting cut‑sheet condition",374,72000,446000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5704970-73aeceae978a5c06750d67e98a983672&start=72&end=446","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5704970-73aeceae978a5c06750d67e98a983672/thumbnail_72000.jpg","/articles/6133284/Mount-Vernon/Westchester-County/New-York/Board-approves-3story-12unit-building-at-North-Terrace-with-lighting-cutsheet-condition","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6133284-5d75968ef3e69828c7bc60d00cf8a0b0/orig.mp4?Expires=1771037056&Signature=QkS44HGoO3XCZ5IXUuYeLTZckPVZeSK6iJvwWQULzlPH8GbdCvnXsLP~iO-t09WRogMC-3MFGJ5ZmErMpInamtnkn2hizDfZGtsX1O~AMuPmI8qK7Et-98w-eTZY2HzzIBdPxyY2oN1cGJQCSGN7dFouSmUAR5AzYqRCRMfKOhzWjkt16gfuN1HLNL7~-oafBuYs7bkRyATFClo6OnpNz9-x2puEp08qmJT82y1AqxyYD~7P4WF4CNaOaaUU~0TztYCAucNOnlY01UbNpROGPIwTMviRJubUoRkz2Pi3Sztc8OWYgd1khU79OYt1JJ-JFfl-EBUd5ja3958~ZQmPsg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The local review board approved a certificate of appropriateness for a new three‑story, 12‑unit apartment building at 420 North Terrace Avenue owned by Sal Tedeschi, subject to a condition that the applicant submit a manufacturer’s cut sheet for the front‑elevation lighting fixture shown in the applicant’s rendering.

Applicant representatives said the building would be cold‑formed steel construction with brick veneer and that they had revised elevations and added a lighting plan in response to prior comments. The project team told the board the site is fully paved and that two trees would be installed at the front of the property, and the owner will work with the city Department of Public Works on plantings during construction.

Board members asked for additional masonry and parapet details and requested the specific cut sheet for the front fixture to confirm the appearance shown in the front elevation. A motion to approve with that condition was made and seconded during the meeting and the board recorded the approval (voice votes: “Aye” recorded). The transcript does not provide a roll‑call tally or the full names of the motion mover and seconder.

Discussion versus formal action: the appearance and material details were discussed in the public hearing portion of the agenda; the formal action recorded was the certificate of appropriateness approval with the single condition to provide the lighting cut sheet. No other conditions or variances were recorded as part of the board’s approval during the meeting.","The board granted a certificate of appropriateness for a new three‑story, 12‑unit apartment building at 420 North Terrace Avenue, conditioned on the applicant providing a cut sheet for the front‑elevation light fixture shown in renderings.",{"_33":112,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":113,"_41":114,"_43":115,"_45":116,"_47":117,"_49":118,"_51":119,"_53":120,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":121,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":122,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6133289,"Developer presents plan for 21‑story Prospect Avenue tower; board asks questions on materials, utilities and public space",1362,2916000,4278000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5704970-73aeceae978a5c06750d67e98a983672&start=2916&end=4278","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5704970-73aeceae978a5c06750d67e98a983672/thumbnail_2916000.jpg","/articles/6133289/Mount-Vernon/Westchester-County/New-York/Developer-presents-plan-for-21story-Prospect-Avenue-tower-board-asks-questions-on-materials-utilities-and-public-space","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6133289-cb0c80838a7813e97df285b3511da92a/orig.mp4?Expires=1771037056&Signature=FRnRTS4OB-kXWOO0~ojPuDHccJddxDugy2QmKsFO2sHecfL4KTnTb4ENM-pJOBQZ1hs7MeYfDxrYvNk0OPife7-iiDJZ2Kcw5-PnGAaOSDOfqd-0WOWLjQcVojVK9lt3iTTUzZrY~1V5XikMSx5CJ2I9~GCtBOLipi4YvL5Nol6RnWrUwCO7b7GL5~tno8DwhwEnwLoabmDYPZGPyWI-ezh~vJpKtpgC4BOOVl5bYStls4wswt41jnrRJohuvUZ4ro82HkbzbcqRmYLZvSm8HmSU64hGVDslZ9c3XYQYZohg5M3HOY0~IteRaj7yFevSlN47GWYKzQ4Y3-m7YuKyEA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Alexander Development Group gave a design presentation to the local review board on a proposed 21‑story residential tower at 140 East Prospect Avenue, describing a podium with retail, three levels of parking and a tall residential tower above. The project team said the building would include ground‑floor retail (described in the presentation as about 6,000 square feet), three floors of parking and a collection of rooftop resident amenities; the presentation emphasized streetscape improvements, new street trees, directional and recessed canopy lighting, and a plaza notion at the corner facing the train station.

Board members and staff pressed the project team for follow‑up details on public‑realm and technical items. Questions centered on burying or reconfiguring existing overhead power lines, the durability and attachment of metal panel and porcelain panel systems on the tower base, the proposed street‑tree species, how wayfinding would link the site to the train station and nearby commercial blocks, and the building’s parking supply and loading/valet arrangements. The project team said they are in conversations with Con Edison about burying lines “if costs and coordination are reasonable” and described a sustainability approach that they said includes high‑efficiency systems, LED lighting, water‑efficient plumbing fixtures and an interest in Passive House / high‑performance building strategies; they also said the building would be all‑electric.

The presentation team described façade goals that use traditional materials—brick at the podium, metal panels and glazed residential bays at upper levels—and showed diagrams of setbacks and stepped massing intended to create plazas, recesses and a pedestrian corridor toward the station. The landscape architect said the design proposes additional in‑street trees and expanded sidewalks on Portugal and Prospect and that planting selections would be native or adaptive species to limit watering needs. The team said they are considering stormwater/rainwater capture as a potential option and referenced previous public art competitions run by the developer on other projects as a precedent for an on‑site art feature.

Board members raised concerns and suggestions: confirm engineered attachment and long‑term finish warranties for metal panels, provide more detail on proposed plant species and irrigation strategy, provide a final parking count and clarify how deliveries and ride‑hail/Instacart activity would be handled so they do not impact curbside circulation. One member asked for wayfinding elements to better connect the plaza and train station to Prospect’s commercial corridors. The project team estimated parking in broad terms during Q&A (a figure in the presentation alternatives was cited in discussion as roughly “206–226” spaces) but did not present a single final parking tally to the board during the meeting.

No formal vote or board action was taken; the item was presented and discussed, with the board requesting supplemental documentation and refined materials to return at a future meeting. Next steps described by the project team included continuing coordination with Con Edison and city engineering on utilities, providing detailed material samples, lighting cut sheets and engineered attachment details for metal panels, and finalizing planting and stormwater strategies for subsequent submissions.","Alexander Development Group presented a proposed 21‑story residential tower at 140 East Prospect Avenue, including retail, parking and rooftop amenities; the board heard design, landscape and sustainability details and asked for follow‑up on power lines, signage, materials durability and circulation.
