Tuckahoe board approves amended special permit allowing Broken Bow Brewery to add restaurant and pergola

The Tuckahoe Zoning Board of Appeals on the board's February 2025 meeting approved an amendment to the special use permit for Broken Bow Brewery, 173 Marbledale Road, allowing the brewery to operate a restaurant, scale back its beer garden and install a pergola in a second phase.

The board found that the application does not pose a significant adverse environmental impact and adopted a negative declaration under the State Environmental Quality Review Act (SEQRA). The resolution restated conditions from the board's November 2017 decision and specified new limits on events, music and food-truck usage.

Board members voted 5-1 to approve the amendment. The resolution states that Broken Bow Brewery may add a pergola as part of a second-phase build-out within 12 months, and that existing operations will continue while the indoor kitchen is built. The board's conditions include limiting outdoor music to the village's residential noise restrictions with a 9 p.m. music cutoff; beer garden closing times of 11 p.m. Monday through Saturday and 10 p.m. on Sundays; and indoor food service allowed 11 a.m. to midnight seven days a week.

The resolution also said the scaled-back beer garden will increase parking from 12 spaces to 13. The permit allows food trucks to operate as before until the restaurant opens; after the restaurant opens food trucks are limited to four times per calendar year. Tent events are allowed up to four times per year until the pergola is erected, after which tented events are prohibited. The brewery may continue to hold 12 events per year; the four tented events count toward that total.

The board's resolution additionally set brewing hours between 6:30 a.m. and 3:30 p.m. Monday through Friday and deferred to the planning board regarding whether special parking accommodations are needed for events. All new equipment must meet New York State, Westchester County and Village of Tuckahoe code requirements.

Louis Campana, the project architect, told the board there were no design changes since the last meeting and said, "Nothing has changed in terms of the design. Just a few things that we had spoke about, regarding music." No members of the public spoke during the board's public comment period on the application.

The board also recorded that the amendment supersedes any conflicting condition of the 2017 permit and that the negative declaration under SEQRA was adopted based on the application materials on file.

The board's approval is effective immediately; the resolution includes the procedural findings and operational conditions described above and directs compliance with applicable state and local codes.
