Dobbs Ferry planning board reapproves final plat for 111 Lefurgey Avenue with conditions

The Dobbs Ferry Planning Board on Jan. 8 adopted a resolution reapproving final plat and site-plan approval for 111 Lefurgey Avenue, allowing a three-lot subdivision and construction of two new single-family residences subject to standard conditions, outstanding escrows and final stormwater engineering resolutions.

Planning staff member Valerie told the board the application had previously received final plat approval but that the prior approvals had expired; the applicant returned seeking reapproval with no change to the overall subdivision. “This resolution is basically the same resolution you passed prior, just updated dates,” Valerie said as she read the draft that included a negative declaration adopted on Nov. 7, 2024.

Michael Stein of Hudson Engineering, the engineer of record, told the board he was available to answer technical questions and that the team would address outstanding items in the planning and engineering memos in their next submission. The resolution sets a 90-day expiration from the date of the resolution for any remaining conditions and requires outstanding escrows and stormwater items be finalized before permits are issued.

The board closed the public hearing and moved to adopt the resolution. Board members reminded the applicant that an administrative extension can often be obtained by contacting the building inspector before an approval expires.

Next steps: the applicant must satisfy the listed conditions, pay outstanding escrows, and resolve stormwater engineering comments before final permits are issued.
