Montebello Planning Board sets hearings on detention-pond relocation, warehouse project and wetlands permit
Summary
At its June 10 meeting the Planning Board declared SEQRA lead agency and scheduled public hearings for an amended Stonehedge Farm detention-pond plan, a proposed warehouse project on Rella Boulevard, and adjourned and scheduled the wetlands-buffer application for Zalmen Rubin.
The Village of Montebello Planning Board used its June 10 meeting to advance several pending applications by declaring SEQRA lead agency and scheduling public hearings for multiple items.
For the Masa Estate Holdings amended Stonehedge Farm subdivision (220 Spook Rock Road), applicants Sean and Marsel Amona requested to relocate a detention pond to encroach into a 200-foot preservation buffer on Lot 12. Planner Max Stach and Village Engineer Martin Spence asked for a revised SWPP, a Certificate of Appropriateness from the Historic Preservation and Parks Commission, an amended Negative Declaration if needed, and additional visual materials. The Board declared Lead Agency under SEQRA and set a public hearing for July 8, 2025.
Rella Owner LLC proposed a combination of standard and smaller warehouses on an 18.5-acre lot at 300 Rella Boulevard. Attorney Ira Emanuel and engineer Joseph Nyitray presented; the planner requested further narrative detail on hours of operation, tenant types and truck movement restrictions. The Board declared lead agency for SEQRA and scheduled the public hearing and adjourned the application to the July 8, 2025 meeting.
An application by Zalmen Rubin for a Stream and Wetlands Protection Permit for an addition within the wetlands buffer near Kathy Gorman Ponds Park was discussed; the board debated whether lot-area calculations should use gross or net area and whether the Zoning Board of Appeals should resolve a related determination first. Member Stan Shipley voted against setting the public hearing, saying the application was not ready for public comment; the hearing was nevertheless set for the applicant's next Planning Board appearance and the application was adjourned.
The Board also approved meeting minutes and adjourned at 8:53 p.m.
