White Plains planning board schedules public hearing for 237 Martin Avenue subdivision
Summary
At its May 20 meeting the City of White Plains Planning Board voted to schedule a June 17 public hearing on a proposed two-lot subdivision of air-rights parcels at 237 Martin Avenue, which includes rooftop affordable housing and portions above the City Center garage and New York Sports Club.
The City of White Plains Planning Board on May 20 voted to schedule a public hearing for 7 p.m. June 17 on a proposed two-lot subdivision at 237 Martin Avenue.
Board Chair John Iores said the subdivision would create two parcels: one parcel encompassing air rights above the City Center garage and the other covering air rights above the New York Sports Club and Summit Apartments. "We've been asked to schedule a public hearing for 237 Martin Avenue," Iores said during the meeting.
The board and meeting participants clarified that the parcels involved are air-rights parcels — portions of buildings and rooftop areas that "do not touch the ground," as discussed during the hearing. Participants noted the survey has been corrected to reflect parcel numbers (6001, 6002, 6003) and the proposed subdivision (to 6031 and 6032). One participant confirmed that rooftop affordable housing is located on the top level above the garage.
A motion to schedule the June 17 public hearing was moved and seconded and carried on a voice vote. Tanya Norris seconded the motion; the identity of the mover was not specified in the record. The board also announced its next regular meeting will be June 17 at 7 p.m. in the same chamber.
The scheduling of a public hearing begins the formal opportunity for public comment and for the board to take written and oral input before any vote on subdivision approval. Specific approvals, conditions and any required filings will be addressed at or after that hearing.
