Cedarhurst Planning Board grants subdivision for Pearsall Rock project, up to 98 units
Summary
The Village of Cedarhurst granted preliminary subdivision approval July 15 for Pearsall Rock LLC to enable condominium ownership of up to 98 units after the Nassau County Planning Commission issued a SEQRA Negative Declaration; the change would make the project ineligible for IDA tax benefits.
The Planning Board of the Village of Cedarhurst on July 15 granted preliminary approval for a subdivision by Pearsall Rock LLC that would allow up to 98 condominium units in the project.
Mayor Benjamin Weinstock told the board the Nassau County Planning Commission, acting as lead agency, issued a Negative Declaration under the State Environmental Quality Review Act (SEQRA) and filed a unanimous local determination with the village. The applicant was represented by attorney William Bonesso and principals including Tommy Lieberman; engineers and a traffic expert also participated in the presentation.
Trustee Israel Wasser moved and Trustee Myrna Zisman seconded a motion to close the public hearing and grant the subdivision application; the motion carried, though the transcript does not record individual vote tallies. Mayor Weinstock and the applicant team noted that converting the units to condominium ownership would prevent the project from qualifying for Industrial Development Agency tax benefits, a factor mentioned as potentially affecting local school funding.
The village record indicates the county-level SEQRA Negative Declaration is binding on the village; no further village-level environmental determinations were recorded in the transcript. The filing and preliminary approval complete the Planning Board’s formal review recorded at the special meeting; the transcript does not state distinct next procedural steps for final subdivision filing or building permits.
