Zoning board approves variances for White Plains Road and Central Drive; two applications deferred
Summary
The Eastchester Zoning Board of Appeals approved area variances for 288 White Plains Road and a porch enclosure on Central Drive, and deferred final decisions on two neighborhood variance requests (18 Steins Ave. and 24 Madison Rd.) to its next meeting.
The Eastchester Zoning Board of Appeals on March 10 approved two resolutions granting area variances and deferred decisions on two new applications until the next meeting on April 14.
Chair opened the meeting and presented a resolution to grant variances for required off-street parking and loading spaces at 288 White Plains Road (application 25-77). The board voted unanimously to approve the resolution, with the Chair stating the vote was “for the reasons explained in the resolution prepared for this meeting and subject to the conditions listed in the resolution.” The recorded tally was five yes, zero no.
Later the board considered application 26-129 for a porch enclosure and addition on Central Drive. The Chair moved to grant the requested variance per the resolution prepared for the meeting; the motion passed with four yes votes and one abstention. Mr. Weber recorded the abstention; the Chair announced the motion carried and that conditions in the prepared resolution would apply.
Neither resolution drew public comment during the meeting; both were decided based on the materials and findings in the prepared resolutions. The board did not read the full resolutions aloud; Chair noted that application documents are part of the public record and that new correspondence cannot be accepted after the public hearing closes.
What happens next: the approved resolutions will be entered into the record with the conditions enumerated in the prepared documents. Two separate new matters on the agenda (18 Steins Avenue and 24 Madison Road) were presented and then adjourned for a formal resolution at the next meeting on April 14.
