Greenburgh ZBA grants several area variances for residential and childcare sites; decisions conditioned on plans and permits
Summary
The Zoning Board approved multiple area variances (cases including 2411, 2412, 2413, 2418, 2420) with conditions requiring applicants to obtain planning‑board approvals, follow submitted plans and, where applicable, limit enrollment or remove structures if uses change.
At its recent meeting, the Town of Greenburgh Zoning Board of Appeals recorded motions granting several area variances for residential improvements and an established daycare center. The approvals were conditioned on applicants obtaining all necessary approvals from other town agencies, adhering to the plans submitted and, in some cases, limiting future changes without returning to the ZBA.
Votes at a glance: - Case 2411 (154 North Road): Motion to grant variances for lot‑width/impervious surface and minor rear‑yard patio setback approved; conditioned on conformity with plans stamped 02/21/2024 and later revisions. - Case 2412 (529 Central Park Avenue — Lightbridge Academy): Two area variances granted, including off‑street parking relief and a 5‑foot front setback variance for a playground canopy; approval conditioned on revised site plan approval, an enrollment cap of 152 FTE children, submission of a traffic study to NYSDOT (to review signal timing), and canopy removal if the daycare ceases operation. - Case 2413: previously closed for decision; findings to be filed in the record. - Case 2418 (38 Oak Street): Small height variance (0.83 ft) for a reconstructed garage was approved; board recorded the motion and will file findings. - Case 2420 (25 Woods End Road): Variances for corner‑lot setbacks, floor‑area ratio and building coverage were discussed and approved by the board with standard conditions requiring compliance with plans and subsequent approvals.
Board direction and conditions: In nearly every granted case the board included the standard condition that construction must begin within 12 months of the last required approval, proceed in conformity with the stamped plans or return for further variances if changes result in larger deviations, and file required documentation with the building department. Several approvals referenced additional deliverables (traffic study to NYSDOT, wetlands mitigation as required by planning/CAC boards).
What to watch: The Chick‑fil‑A case (2407) was adjourned to Sept. 19 pending a White Plains planning decision and additional written responses from the applicant; the pool case (2417) drew the most contentious debate and was treated separately.
Details: Board minutes indicate findings for the granted motions will be prepared and entered into the record after the meeting.
