Board waives hearing and approves final subdivision for 450 Realty LLC at Tarrytown Road

The Greenburgh Planning Board on April 2 waived a public hearing and approved the final subdivision application for PB2326 (450–460 Tarrytown Road), which separates two existing buildings onto distinct lots to facilitate occupancy and potential sale.

Staff report and applicant remarks: Aaron (staff member) said the final subdivision decision was routine because there is no building work besides landscaping. He said variances required to split the buildings were granted by the zoning board, the applicant agreed to an access easement and specified landscaping improvements, and the applicant submitted a DOT use-and-occupancy application for frontage landscaping along Tarrytown Road. "We submitted use and occupancy permits to the DOT for both properties per the board's request," Bill Reale of JMC said.

Board discussion and concerns: Board members asked whether impervious coverage would increase; staff and the applicant said existing coverage would not increase and may slightly decrease with added landscaping islands. A neighbor raised stormwater-runoff concerns; the applicant reiterated there is no new construction affecting parking or paving and that any future major redevelopment would require a site-plan review and could change variances.

Motions and outcome: The board moved to waive the public hearing and then moved to approve the final subdivision application; both motions passed. The approval includes the landscaping commitments described to the board and notes that any future building rise or redevelopment would require separate review and likely eliminate the current variances.

Provenance: This account is based on staff presentation, applicant remarks, and the board’s votes on PB2326 (topic introduced SEG 348; votes concluded SEG 549).
