Greenburgh Planning Board approves C Core Woods final subdivision and grants two 180‑day extensions

At its Dec. 4 meeting the Town of Greenburgh Planning Board approved final subdivision approval and a tree‑removal permit for the C Core Woods Subdivision (PB22‑05), subject to conditions carried from the preliminary approval. Staff told the board the plat had been endorsed by the Westchester County Department of Health and noted conditions in the draft decision that require installation of a snow‑removal area with signage, posting signs to prohibit parking on the easterly side of the roadway, and other conditions. The board also accepted a voluntary $20,000 donation from the applicant toward Secor Road sidewalk improvements; staff said the donation had already been received.

Board members questioned stormwater design criteria during the discussion. Staff referenced condition 7.2 in the draft decision directing the town engineer to confirm the stormwater management system is designed to the Northeast Regional Climate Center's '25‑year extreme storm' precipitation table; the board discussed whether a 25‑year extreme event exceeded prior town design criteria and confirmed the town follows the state's manual and associated updates for extreme precipitation.

Separately, the board approved two 180‑day extensions of amended site‑plan and special‑permit approvals for battery energy storage projects: PB2132 (Midway Shopping Center) and PB2133 (Greenville Shopping Center). Staff said both extensions were sought because of a change in property ownership that required renegotiation of leases; the board moved, seconded and voted to grant each 180‑day extension.

The board also approved the Nov. 20 draft minutes (with one abstention noted) and then recessed briefly before the public‑hearing session that included the Chick‑fil‑A matter.
