Planning board grants 180-day extension for Denapoli subdivision while engineers review stormwater analysis
Summary
The Greenburgh Planning Board approved a fourth preliminary-subdivision extension for PB21-23 (Denapoli Subdivision) and required the applicant to provide an updated stormwater pollution prevention plan, sewer mapping, and biweekly status check-ins with town staff before final subdivision approval.
The Greenburgh Planning Board voted April 2 to grant a 180-day extension for PB21-23, the Denapoli Subdivision at 1490 and 1952 Sawmill River Road, giving the applicant time to complete an updated stormwater analysis and related mapping needed for final subdivision endorsement.
Staff summary and board decision: Aaron (staff member) told the board the applicant had previously received preliminary approval and three 180-day extensions and had asked for a fourth. Aaron said the current town engineer asked for an updated stormwater pollution prevention plan and supporting calculations — and that the applicant must also file sewer-mapping materials with the town engineer before the county health department will endorse the plat. "So he's on the brink. I think a 6 month extension would give us enough time or him enough time to get back to us for final subdivision," Aaron said.
Why it matters: The board said the extension will allow the applicant to provide the town engineer’s requested analysis so the engineer can sign the subdivision-improvement plans required for county health endorsement. Staff also asked that, as in the prior extension, the applicant check in biweekly with the Department of Community Development and Conservation and provide a chronology of status updates.
Motion and outcome: A board member moved to grant a 180-day extension and the chair seconded; the motion passed. The extension includes the same check-in condition the board imposed in its prior extension and clarifies that if the town engineer’s review leads to substantive plan changes, the revised project would return to the planning board for reconsideration.
Context and next steps: Aaron said the applicant has recently obtained comments from the town’s Bureau of Engineering (received April 1) and engaged an outside engineering firm to run the required analysis. Staff said the applicant is also preparing to file the required sewer mapping and that once the town engineer signs off and the county health department endorses the plat, the applicant may return for final subdivision approval. The board asked staff to post historic project materials in an archive folder on the town website to assist members and the public in locating older application documents.
Provenance: This article is based on the board discussion of PB21-23 (Denapoli Subdivision) introduced by staff and debated during the meeting (topic introduced SEG 068; discussion and vote concluded SEG 321).
