Zoning board approves two-lot subdivision and variances for Jefferson Avenue lots; negative environmental declaration adopted
Summary
Counsel Nicole Blanda presented a two-lot reconfiguration for Jefferson Avenue in Wyandanch (applications 25151 A/B). The board adopted a negative declaration under SEQRA, approved the subdivision and granted area variances for frontage and lot area on Lot 1 and Lot 2 as amended, with covenants prohibiting basements and accessory apartments.
Attorney Nicole Blanda presented a two-lot subdivision and related area-variance requests for properties on Jefferson Avenue in Wyandanch. The assembled parcel totals about 12,670 square feet and was to be reconfigured into two separate lots with new single-family homes; Lot 1 would have about 93 feet of frontage and a lot area of 5,954 square feet, and Lot 2 would have about 60 feet of frontage and a lot area of 6,716 square feet.
Blanda told the board Lot 1 meets frontage requirements but not lot-area requirements due to the pie-shaped geometry; the applicant requested relief to reduce required lot area to 5,954 square feet. Lot 2 requires frontage and lot-area variances (from 75 feet frontage to 60 feet; from 7,500 sq ft to 6,716 sq ft). Blanda said the planning board had approved the subdivision and site plan review.
The board adopted a negative declaration under SEQRA for both applications, then approved application 25151A as amended (certifying lot area of 5,954 sq ft) and approved application 25151B. The board required standard covenants: single-family owner-occupancy, no accessory apartments, and a deed restriction prohibiting basements. The record includes planning memos, surveys dated April and June 2025, and prior lot comparisons submitted by counsel.
