Planning Board approves final plat for 111 Lefurgey Avenue subdivision; site plan hearings continued
Summary
The Planning Board on Feb. 6 approved a final plat to subdivide 111 Lefurgey Avenue into three lots but continued site‑plan hearings for the proposed new houses until outstanding arborist, stormwater and sanitary‑sewer issues are resolved.
DOBBS FERRY, N.Y. — The Planning Board on Feb. 6 granted final plat approval for the subdivision of 111 Lefurgey Avenue into three lots but deferred final site‑plan signoff for the new houses until outstanding engineering, arborist and sanitary‑sewer items are resolved.
Nicholas Shariah of Hudson Engineering described the proposal as dividing the roughly 2.5‑acre parcel into three lots: the existing dwelling to remain (Lot 1) and two new single‑family dwellings proposed on Lots 2 and 3, including a flag lot rear parcel with a shared access. “Lot 2 is a 4‑bedroom, 2,800‑square‑foot dwelling,” Shariah said; Lot 3 was described as a 3,200‑square‑foot dwelling.
The board’s resolution finds that a park cannot be suitably located on the property under §300‑52(j) (reservation of parkland) and requires payment of a recreation fee for the two additional units in accordance with the master fee schedule. Conditions of final plat approval include resolving outstanding stormwater engineering comments, posting any required bonds, dedicating or accepting required deeds and easements, and complying with any maintenance bond requirements.
The planning board also recorded requirements tied to construction: the proposed sanitary sewer extension will require village and county approval and dedication to the village; the applicant must submit final SWPPP documents and respond to the village engineer’s remaining comments before the board will sign final plans.
The public hearings on site plan approval for the new houses (Lot 2 and Lot 3) were opened during the meeting; board members and staff noted additional comments from the village arborist that the applicant must address. The board moved to continue the public hearings for the Lot 2 and Lot 3 site plans to the March 6 meeting to allow the applicant to respond to arborist and engineering memos, and to prepare materials required by the building department and county for the sewer extension.
The board referenced the plan set dated 08/17/2024 for the final plat. The motion to approve the final plat passed on a voice vote; subsequent site‑plan public hearings were continued by unanimous consent.
Board members directed the applicant to submit the arborist’s requested tree information, address stormwater and sanitary sewer comments, provide any required maintenance or performance bonds, and coordinate with the county for permits related to the sewer extension.
