Woodbury ZBA postpones 50 Greenwich, continues Woodview Heights and townhouses hearings to April 9
Summary
The ZBA postponed the 50 Greenwich Avenue matter to March and continued public hearings on Woodview Heights (13-lot subdivision) and Woodbury Townhouses (12-unit townhouse variance) to the board's April 9 meeting; both continuances note planning-board and SEQRA review are outstanding.
At the February 2025 meeting the Village of Woodbury Zoning Board of Appeals postponed the 50 Greenwich Avenue matter to the March meeting and continued two public hearings — Woodview Heights (a 13-lot subdivision on Hill Avenue in Highland Mills) and Woodbury Townhouses (a 12-unit townhouse proposal along Falkirk Avenue in Central Valley) — to the ZBA’s April 9 meeting.
Why it matters: both land-divisions and multi-unit residential variances require coordination with the Village planning board and environmental review. Continuing the hearings preserves the record while the required planning-board reviews and any outstanding SEQRA materials are completed.
Woodview Heights: the applicant requests variances for a subdivision of a parcel into 13 lots in the R-1A district. The record cites Village Code §310-7 minimum lot area of 43,560 square feet per lot; the applicant proposes lot sizes ranging between 15,566 and 43,833 square feet. The application has not yet been acted on by the planning board, and the board opened and then continued the public hearing to April 9.
Woodbury Townhouses: the application requests variances to construct 12 townhouse units on less than the required acreage and to allow parking within the front yard. The board referenced Village Code §310-49(c) (required 6,000 square feet per unit, for a total required 72,000 square feet) and §310-40(e) (parking in the front yard prohibited). The applicant proposes 59,045 square feet for the townhouse parcel; the planning board has not yet completed its review. The ZBA opened the hearing and continued it to April 9.
50 Greenwich Avenue: the board postponed consideration of 50 Greenwich Avenue to the March meeting “when we hopefully will have a full board,” the chair said.
Next steps: the board scheduled both public hearings for continuation on April 9 to allow the planning board review and any required SEQRA coordination to be completed before further ZBA action.
