Commissioner says ADU local law will stay at 10,000-square-foot threshold; board to consider vote March 1
Summary
At a Greenburgh town board work session, Commissioner Gary Duquesne confirmed the accessory-dwelling-unit local law remains at a 10,000-square-foot threshold and said the board will likely vote on the draft at its March 1 meeting. A member recalled a proposal to lower that figure to 7,500.
Commissioner Gary Duquesne, director of the Department of Community Development and Conservation, told the town board at a March work session that the accessory-dwelling-unit (ADU) local law before the board has not changed and "remains with the 10,000 square foot" threshold.
The ADU draft is the subject of a continued public hearing; Duquesne said the board would likely take up a formal vote on the law at the March 1 meeting. At the session, a board member noted that Dr. Allen had suggested a 7,500-square-foot threshold during prior review, and asked whether that figure had been changed in the posted draft. Duquesne said he had provided requested statistics to Dr. Allen but that the local law itself remained at 10,000 square feet.
Supporters of the larger threshold said the data provided to the board informed the recommendation; others asked for the statistics to be reviewed during the continued hearing. Duquesne indicated staff would present the matter for decision at the next board meeting.
The continued hearing means the board has not adopted the law; the next procedural step is the board’s consideration and vote at the March 1 meeting.
