Greenburgh ZBA grants multiple variances, reopens two cases and sets August 15 calendar
Summary
The Zoning Board of Appeals approved variances for several applications on July 18, including a subdivision re‑grant for the Nissan site, an awning and covered bays at Game On Golf Center, and a house addition; several hearings were continued or re‑noticed for August 15.
The Greenburgh Zoning Board of Appeals on July 18 considered eight cases and recorded decisions or continuances on most matters.
Diego Villarreal of JMC presented a subdivision proposal for 450 and 460 Tarrytown Road to create two lots so one building can be sold and the other occupied by a Nissan dealership; the applicant said previously granted variances (lot coverage, building coverage and setbacks) must be re‑granted for the subdivided parcels, and the planning board conditioned additional landscaping. The board reopened that matter for re‑noticing and calendared it for August 15 to receive newly generated materials.
Homeowners seeking relief won approvals: Kyle Ortiz requested relief to legalize and screen a preexisting raised porch that sits 19.7 feet from the rear property line where 26 feet are required; the board heard neighbor support and technical testimony from architect Max Parangi and indicated general support. Robert Galayo presented a 549‑square‑foot addition for 19 Tomahawk Drive; the board approved the requested side‑setback relief with supporting neighbor letters.
Game On Golf Center (Case 2415) proposed prefabricated aluminum awnings and a concrete slab to add covered bays; the board approved variances for the improvements with conditions that construction begin within 12 months and conform to submitted plans.
The board closed the meeting by recording motions on multiple cases; findings for several approvals will be entered into the record at a later date. The board set its next meeting for August 15 at 7 p.m.
