Planning Board approves site plan and AHRB clearance for 311 Broadway, requires one affordable unit
Loading...
Summary
The Dobbs Ferry Planning Board adopted a site-plan resolution and an AHRB clearance for additions and renovations at 311 Broadway, issued a SEQRA negative declaration, and attached conditions including one affordable housing unit and required easements and stormwater confirmations.
The Dobbs Ferry Planning Board on April 2 approved site-plan and architectural/historic review applications for renovations and additions at 311 Broadway, adopting a SEQRA negative declaration and conditions before permits are issued.
Project architect Suzanne Levine told the board the team provided updated designs and a permeable-asphalt calculation the board had requested. Consulting engineer Anthony reported the calculations demonstrate an equivalency to lawn surface and satisfy the zoning and stormwater concerns reviewed to date.
Valerie (planning staff) and board members said remaining items to resolve before final sign-off include permanent easements for reusing existing storm and sewer connections, on-site confirmation that existing pipes are in satisfactory condition or will be replaced, resolution of outstanding stormwater maintenance agreements, submission of any required structural calculations for retaining walls, and payment of outstanding consultant review fees. The board’s resolution also requires the applicant to obtain all necessary approvals from other governmental agencies prior to issuing building permits.
The planning-board resolution adopted a negative declaration under SEQRA for this unlisted action and attached a site-plan approval conditioned on the approved plan set (most recently dated 03/19/2026). The resolution further requires the applicant to provide one affordable housing unit in accordance with Section 300-40 of the Village zoning and land-use chapter before a certificate of occupancy is issued.
The board also adopted a related AHRB resolution granting architectural and historic review approval subject to conditions and the referenced plans. The applicant indicated material samples (stone, fiber-cement siding, black Anderson windows and a composite wood trim) will be provided in the final submission for staff and board review.
Next steps: the applicant must submit final engineering and site details addressing the listed conditions, provide documentation for storm/sewer easements, and pay outstanding review fees before permits are issued.
