Metropolis Country Club presents amended site plan to Greenberg Town Board; no public objections
Summary
Metropolis Country Club sought amended site‑plan approval to replace two staff housing buildings with one modular building and to reduce impervious surface; Planning and Zoning boards reviewed and recommended changes; the Town Board opened the hearing and left the record open for seven days with no public speakers at the meeting.
The Town Board opened a public hearing on an amended site plan from Metropolis Country Club for property at 289 Dobbs Ferry Road. Garrett Duquesne, commissioner of Community Development and Conservation, described the proposal as a replacement of two aging staff housing structures on the golf course’s northern end with a single modular building of roughly 5,215 square feet. The applicant said the new building footprint would be smaller by about 1,000 square feet and would reduce impervious surface by approximately 630 square feet.
Annie Klein, counsel for the applicant, said the proposal had been reviewed by town staff and the Planning Board and that the Zoning Board of Appeals had granted necessary variances and an amended special permit. Engineer Adam Thyberg walked the board through renderings, noted two accessible parking spaces and an external stair, and described a landscaping plan the applicant revised after Planning Board feedback (screening increased from 10 to 13 trees on the northerly property line).
No members of the public elected to speak at the hearing. The Town Board closed the public hearing for tonight and left the written record open for seven days so additional comments may be submitted.
Why it matters: The proposal maintains staff housing capacity while modestly improving the site’s environmental footprint and screening; the town’s land‑use boards have already reviewed the application and recommended conditions that the applicant has addressed.
