Planning Board clears items for follow‑up: 960 Green Meadow classified Type 2; 530 South Berry addressed
Summary
The board reviewed two first‑time site‑plan applications. 960 Green Meadow Lane (pool replacement) was classified as a Type 2 action under SEQRA after consultant review and will return with revisions; 530 South Berry (minor addition) had technical items addressed and is under continued review.
The Planning Board handled two short initial site‑plan reviews at its Nov. 13 meeting.
960 Green Meadow Lane: Sam Thompson of IQ Landscape Architects presented a replacement of an existing pool with a slightly smaller pool and spa; consultant Susan Oakley flagged missing items in the tree preservation plan and requested a dedicated tree‑preservation sheet and full tree inventory (species, DBH, condition). Village planner Dan Siegel confirmed zoning coverage would remain under the village maximum (projected change from 36% to about 41% of total lot coverage). The board voted to classify the application as a Type 2 action under SEQRA so the applicant can return with revised, organized plans; the motion passed unanimously.
530 South Berry: Architect Arthur Wexler and engineer David Gessel described a ~300 sq ft addition with a modest impervious increase (~215 sq ft). The team revised stormwater calculations to meet the village’s 100‑year design standard, offered a bottom‑infiltration solution and resubmitted a consolidated tree preservation plan with a proposed replacement dogwood for the single removed tree. The board asked the applicants to confirm tree‑preservation labeling on plan sheets and to submit the updated materials for the next packet.
Next steps: Applicants will submit revised plans and the board will consider draft resolutions at a future meeting once the requested clarifications and memos are provided.
