Planning board refers 123 North Ridge Street application to ZBA, sets May 8 public hearing
Summary
Rye Brook Planning Board voted to refer a proposed second-floor addition, porch and deck at 123 North Ridge Street to the Zoning Board of Appeals and scheduled a public hearing for May 8, 2025. The board asked the applicant to supply an updated denial letter listing exact variances for public notice.
The Rye Brook Planning Board voted May 8 to refer the application for 123 North Ridge Street to the Zoning Board of Appeals and set a public hearing for 6:30 p.m. on May 8, 2025. The application proposes a second‑floor addition, a new front porch and a rear deck on an R10‑zoned property within the North Ridge Street scenic overlay district.
Board members said the revised drawings submitted by the applicant reduce several previously identified variances and produce a more cohesive façade and site layout. The board asked the applicant to supply an updated denial letter that enumerates the exact variances so the ZBA’s public‑notice mailing can meet statutory requirements.
Why it matters: the house is in a scenic overlay district and requires variance review for setback/height and scenic overlay exceptions; the board’s referral puts the formal variance request before the ZBA for a decision. The planning board’s referral motion passed unanimously; staff instructed the applicant to comply with Section 250‑40 of the village code on public‑notice procedures.
Ending The board directed planning staff to circulate the referral resolution and to coordinate with the applicant and ZBA clerk to confirm hearing notices and any needed updated materials.
