Board takes informal comment on cross‑jurisdiction subdivision at 75 Millertown Road; suggests Pound Ridge lead SEQR
Summary
Applicant discussed a proposed two‑lot subdivision of a seven‑acre parcel that straddles Bedford and Pound Ridge; the board raised no major objections and recommended Pound Ridge act as SEQR lead agency while the applicant refines plans and coordinates filings.
Planning staff and the applicant’s representative gave an informal briefing on a proposed two‑lot subdivision at 75 Millertown Road, a property that straddles Bedford and Pound Ridge. The parcel is about seven acres and the proposal would create separate lots to be served by two driveways, with construction and septic work primarily on the Pound Ridge portion.
Applicant representative Dave Sessions explained that Pound Ridge requires a contiguous buildable area of 40,000 square feet for new lots, accounting for slope and wetland setbacks, and that the team arranged lot lines to meet that requirement without variances. The Bedford portion would undergo minor driveway widening and a pulloff to accommodate two‑lot access; most of the new house and associated septic/well work would be on the Pound Ridge side.
The board indicated it had no immediate objections and recommended Pound Ridge be the lead agency for SEQR and environmental review, noting the applicant should notify Bedford when Pound Ridge posts a public hearing and that Bedford will require its own public hearing for any Bedford‑side subdivision action. The applicant will proceed with engineering and coordinate formal submissions once Pound Ridge’s schedule is confirmed.
