The Yonkers Planning Board approved a site plan Sept. 10 for a five-story apartment building containing 36 units at 105 through 111 Vineyard Avenue, voting 5-0 to grant site-plan approval subject to engineering, water, fire and planning conditions.

An attorney reading the draft resolution said the board found coordination of SEQR review complete and noted a prior Zoning Board of Appeals action. The approved resolution requires the applicant to comply with the Department of Engineering report (dated June 6, 2025) and the City of Yonkers Water Shop comments (May 14, July 13 and Aug. 16, 2025), including installation of an "8 inch class 56 cement lined water main with all the required appurtenances" between High Street and 113 Vineyard Avenue. The water-main condition includes cost-sharing: if a neighboring site at 83-95 Vineyard receives or renews approval, the cost will be apportioned by the Department of Engineering based on respective water demand, and the owner of 83-95 Vineyard will reimburse the applicant for its proportional fair share.

The boards resolution also cited an I&I remediation fee of $531 based on an estimated flow of 3,960 gallons per day, and invoked Section 403-1192 of the Yonkers zoning ordinance to require one affordable unit for a "small multifamily housing development." The approval requires any modification to return to the planning board as an amendment and requires the applicant to submit endorsed site plans to the planning bureau within two weeks.

The motion to approve was made by Adelia Landy and seconded by Mr. Bello; the vote carried 5-0.

The boards action conditions completion of the specified water-main work and compliance with reports from city staff before building permits are issued.
