Planning Board approves several draft decisions, grants a steep‑slope extension and schedules hearings for Feb. 4
Summary
At its Jan. 21 meeting the Planning Board approved a two‑year extension for a steep‑slope permit (PB21‑10 Paracas), approved multiple draft decisions (PB2203, PB2530), classified actions under SEQRA as Type II, amended and reapproved PB2525 to add an ADA parking condition, and scheduled public hearings/decisions for Feb. 4 on several items.
The Planning Board handled routine and substantive procedural business at the Jan. 21 meeting, taking multiple votes on draft decisions and scheduling hearings.
Minutes: The board approved the Dec. 3, 2025 meeting minutes.
PB21‑10 (Paracas, 23 Springwood Avenue): Staff reported the applicant requested a second extension of a previously granted steep‑slope permit because they changed civil engineers and permits are under Bureau of Engineering review. The board voted to grant a two‑year extension through Jan. 21, 2028.
PB2203: The board reviewed the draft decision for the site plan, steep slope and wetland/watercourse permits, accepted minor edits and voted to approve the draft decision as amended.
PB2525 (Sultana, 742 Central Park Avenue South): The board conducted SEQRA classification (Type II) and moved to approve the draft decision for the incidental dining special permit. After staff checked with the building inspector and raised a potential requirement for an ADA parking space if repaving triggers it, the board rescinded the earlier approval and approved an amended decision that requires coordination with the town engineering and building departments; if the building inspector or town engineer deems an accessible space necessary, the applicant/landlord must provide it and update as‑built plans.
PB2530 (KDRP): The board classified the action as a Type II SEQRA action, and voted to approve the amended site plan and the tree removal permit; votes were taken in sequence and carried.
Hearings scheduled/continued: The board set public hearings and decision dates for numerous new and pending items on Feb. 4, including PB2510 (Central Animal Hospital), PB2524 (Pickler indoor recreation facility — written record through Jan. 28), PB2528 (Nature Center at Greenburgh — written record open one week), and continued review of Elmwood Preserve (PB2220).
