Mount Kisco Smokehouse proposal requires parking variance and county referral, planner says
Summary
The applicant for a proposed Mount Kisco Smokehouse presented a first‑floor commercial use with residence above but needs a parking variance (3 spaces), an updated survey, referral to Westchester County Planning and a possible DEP SWPPP determination before returning to the board.
Pat Costabile presented PB2024‑0464 (Mount Kisco Smokehouse, 487 Lexington Ave) proposing a first‑floor restaurant use with a residence above and a reconfigured rear parking area. Building Inspector Peter Miley described the proposal as an improvement but noted it will require a parking variance (three spaces), changes to ingress/egress and landscaping, and an updated survey to document dimensions and setbacks.
Village Planner Jan K. Johannessen advised the board that the application is a Type II action under SEQRA but that the county road requires referral to Westchester County Planning. Village Engineer Anthony Oliveri recommended the applicant consult the Department of Environmental Protection for a SWPPP determination. The board instructed the applicant to pursue the required variances and referrals before returning to the Planning Board.
Why it matters: the parking variance and county referral determine whether the proposed commercial use can be approved without violating zoning and county referral requirements. Updated surveys and SWPPP determinations will inform final site‑plan conditions.
What’s next: applicant to update plans, secure variances and county referral, and return to the Planning Board with documentation.
