Zoning board approves four‑lot subdivision in Wyandanch after planning review

Nicole Blanda, an attorney for Albany Avenue Suites LLC, told the Zoning Board of Appeals that the applicant seeks to combine five tax lots on Birch Street in Wyandanch and reconfigure them into four single‑family lots. The board voted to adopt a negative declaration and approved applications 25111 A‑D with standard conditions and requirements (CNRs).

The matter was presented as a minimal‑variance proposal in a Residence C zoning district: the applicant asked to reduce minimum frontage from 75 feet to 60 feet on two lots and from 75 to 70 on two other lots, and to reduce minimum lot area from 7,500 square feet to 6,000 or 7,000 square feet depending on the lot. Blanda said all setbacks, height and building coverage requirements would be met and each lot would accommodate a two‑story, single‑family home; proposed homes on Lots 1 and 3 were described as four bedrooms with 3½ baths, and Lots 2 and 4 as slightly larger four‑bedroom homes with four bathrooms. She said sewers and utilities are available and that planning‑department comments are nearly resolved.

The planning board had reviewed the application the week before and left minimal outstanding items, Blanda said. No members of the public testified at the Zoning Board hearing. A board member moved to adopt a negative declaration under SEQRA and then moved to approve the applications; the motions passed with all in favor and the standard CNRs and conditions attached.
