Greenburgh meeting summaries, agendas, and minutes

Greenburgh agendas: $13.1M sewer cost ceiling, property maintenance law, zoning amendments — with no votes yet on the record

Greenburgh boards and commissions have scheduled a heavy stretch of business over the past two weeks, including a proposed local law on property maintenance, a proposed maximum cost for sewer district improvements, and a set of zoning amendments. One caveat applies to everything below: the summaries supplied for these meetings are marked "agenda only (minutes not yet published)." That means the items were listed for discussion or hearing. No votes, adoptions, or final outcomes are established in the record provided.

Town Board: sewer cost ceiling and a property maintenance law

The Town Board's regular meeting on Oct. 14 carried the most consequential listings. The agenda included a proposed local law creating Chapter 239 for Property Maintenance and Nuisance Abatement, and public hearings on fire protection agreements. It also listed Consolidated Sewer District facility improvements with an estimated maximum cost of $13,100,000 — a proposed ceiling, not a reported expenditure.

Also on that agenda: an amended site plan application for Regeneron Pharmaceuticals at 555 Saw Mill River Road, a Zoning Map amendment for a Bethel Communities expansion at 55 Grasslands Road, and retention of the Law Office of Vincent Toomey for $50,000, described on the agenda as totaling $450,000.

Budget presentations run across two work sessions

The Town Board devoted two work sessions to department budget presentations. On Oct. 13 the board was scheduled to hear from Building, DPW, Library, IT, Police, and the Town Attorney. On Oct. 20 the lineup was Parks & Recreation, TDYCC, Court, Town Clerk, and the Assessor, along with a discussion of property tax exemptions. Both agendas also listed proposed executive sessions for personnel matters and legal advice.

Zoning Board: five variance requests

The Zoning Board of Appeals met Oct. 15 with five variance requests on its agenda. Manhattan Park Apartments at 66 Beech St sought renewal of variances to increase building height to 30.4 feet and reduce rear yard setbacks. White Plains Bowl at 47 Tarrytown Rd sought to raise an illuminated wall sign from 2 feet to 2 feet 6 inches. A request at 9 Blueberry Hill Rd in Irvington would raise front and side yard fence height from 6 feet to 8 feet. At 1440 Saw Mill River Rd in Ardsley, the request would allow a swimming pool in the side yard instead of the rear yard. At 30 Woods End Rd in Hartsdale, the request would reduce side yard width to 29.3 feet and enlarge a nonconforming structure.

Planning Board: smaller logistics building, new zoning districts

The Planning Board's Oct. 21 agenda included a proposed reduction of a logistics building at 555 Saw Mill River Road from 136,000 to 37,500 square feet, and a request for 12 additional parking spaces and a 10-foot fence at 1-3 Warehouse Lane. A wetland/watercourse and tree removal application for 460 Ridge Road was listed as rescheduled to Nov. 4. Work sessions covered Comprehensive Chapter 285 Zoning Text and Zoning Map Amendments, including proposed creation of M-30 Multifamily Residence and TR Tarrytown Road Mixed-Use Districts.

Landmarks, ethics, conservation

The Historic Landmarks & Preservation Board on Oct. 13 listed discussion of a potential NYS Register of Historic Places designation and plaque placement for the Gordon Parks House at 15 Adams Place, historic signage and a site visit for the Regeneron Logistics Building at 555 Saw Mill River Road, staff updates on Bethel-Knolls at 55 Grasslands Road and the Old Army Road Banner, and an update from Chairperson O'Shea regarding 460 Ridge Road.

The Board of Ethics on Oct. 15 listed two complaints — Demetrius Thornton v. Frank Morabito et al., and Judith A. Beville v. Lisa Marie Nero — plus review of Ethics Code amendments, an ethics training update, and financial disclosure forms. The Conservation Advisory Council on Oct. 22 was set to finalize comments on proposed Zoning Code updates and review the status of the Greenburgh Native Plant Law, environmental Town Code updates, food scrap recycling and artificial turf, and Four Corners.

Coming up

The supplied data lists no upcoming meetings for the next 14 days, so there is nothing to flag for attendance. Readers should check the town's official posting for agendas and any added sessions; the linked official documents are authoritative.

Greenburgh agendas list zoning overhaul, three AT&T wireless sites and budget talks; no decisions yet recorded

Four Greenburgh bodies posted agendas for meetings held between Oct. 5 and Oct. 8, covering a proposed zoning overhaul, three AT&T wireless facilities and departmental budget presentations. As of Oct. 19, minutes for all four meetings had not been published, so the records supplied list agenda items only. No votes, decisions or outcomes are established by those documents.

Planning Board takes up zoning text and map amendments

The Planning Board met Oct. 7 for work sessions that included Case No. TB 25-04, described as Comprehensive Chapter 285 Zoning Text and Zoning Map Amendments. The board is continuing its review of Town Board referrals to update the Zoning Ordinance to align with the Town's Comprehensive Plan, according to the agenda summary.

The same agenda listed two proposed district creations: an M-30 Multifamily Residence District and a TR Tarrytown Road Mixed-Use District. It also listed two permit cases: Case No. PB 26-02, a Steep Slope and Tree Removal Permit for 18 Joyce Road, and Case No. PB 24-24, a Wetland/Watercourse and Tree Removal Permit for 460 Ridge Road.

All of these were listed as work session items. The supplied record does not show what the board did with any of them.

Three AT&T wireless sites before Antenna Review Board

The Antenna Review Board met Oct. 5 to consider applications submitted by Airosmith on behalf of AT&T for wireless facilities at three locations:

• 0 Sprain Road (Parcel ID 8.270-209-4)

Town Board work session: budget presentations and ethics amendments

The Town Board's Oct. 6 work session was scheduled to include budget presentations from the Tax, Planning, Comptroller and HR departments, along with discussion of amendments to the Board of Ethics.

Conservation Advisory Council reviews zoning and environmental items

The Conservation Advisory Council met Oct. 8 on proposed updates to the Town's Zoning Code, the status of the Greenburgh Native Plant Law, a review of food scrap recycling, a review of artificial turf, and a Four Corners status review. The record does not state what the council recommended, if anything.

What the record does not show

None of the four entries includes published minutes. Each is labeled "agenda only (minutes not yet published)." That means the roundup cannot report what was approved, rejected, tabled or referred, and it cannot report attendance or vote tallies. Missing minutes are not evidence that no action was taken; the outcome simply is not in the documents provided.

Coming up

The supplied list of upcoming meetings for the next 14 days is empty. No Greenburgh meetings are listed there, so this roundup cannot point readers to a specific date, time or agenda. Residents should check the Town's official meeting calendar and posted agendas for scheduling and any materials released ahead of future sessions.

All items described above trace to the agendas summarized here; the official documents remain the authoritative record.

Greenburgh agendas: warehouse site plan, three AT&T sites, zoning rewrite — no decisions recorded yet

Greenburgh boards took up a warehouse site plan, three proposed AT&T wireless locations, a zoning rewrite and a round of departmental budget presentations over the past two weeks. The records supplied for this roundup are agendas only — minutes have not been published for any of the five meetings — so no votes, dollar amounts or outcomes are recorded here. Because the records are agendas, this roundup cannot report what was decided, deferred or approved at any of these meetings. What follows is what each body listed for discussion.

Ardsley Park Warehouse site plan (Sept. 29)

The Town Board's Sept. 29 work session, scheduled for 5:30 p.m., listed a proposed street closing, a site plan presentation for the Ardsley Park Warehouse by attorney Jennifer Gray, Esq., and a group home discussion. The agenda also listed a motion to enter executive session on personnel matters and legal advice. Work sessions do not allow public comment unless the Board solicits it for a specific agenda item. No minutes have been published, so the record does not show what the Board did with any of these items.

Three AT&T wireless sites (Oct. 5)

The Antenna Review Board met to consider applications submitted by Airosmith on behalf of AT&T for wireless facilities at three locations: 0 Site D Finimore Road (Parcel ID: 8.360-261-2), 0 Sprain Road (Parcel ID 8.270-209-4) and 0 Saw Mill River Road (Parcel ID 8.430-305-7.3). The supplied record does not include minutes or a decision on any of the three applications.

Budget presentations and ethics amendments (Oct. 6)

A Town Board work session was scheduled to hear budget presentations from the Tax, Planning, Comptroller and HR departments, and to discuss amendments to the Board of Ethics. No budget figures, proposed spending levels or dollar amounts appear in the supplied record.

The council was scheduled to review ongoing environmental initiatives and discuss proposed updates to the Town's Zoning Code. Listed items included the status of the Greenburgh Native Plant Law, a review of food scrap recycling, a review of artificial turf, and a Four Corners status review. The record does not show what the council recommended, if anything.

Coming up

The supplied list of upcoming meetings for the next 14 days is empty — no meetings were listed for that period. Residents who want to attend or comment should check the Town's official meeting postings and agendas for dates, times and locations, and for the minutes of the five meetings summarized above once they are published.

Greenburgh boards weigh drone rules, 126-home subdivision, and battery storage tax break

All of Greenburgh's public meetings over the past two weeks were agenda-only sessions, with no final votes or decisions recorded. The most consequential items on the table include a proposed 126-home conservation subdivision, a tax incentive program for battery storage systems, and a $160,000 planning contract for the Four Corners redevelopment area.

Town Board work sessions

The Town Board held two work sessions. On Aug. 4, members discussed proposed civilian drone legislation drafted by intern Christopher Lin.

The largest is Elmwood Preserve, a conservation subdivision on Dobbs Ferry Road with 126 lots, 113 single-family homes, 25.2 acres of open space, and removal of 1,147 trees. The project would involve 266,792 cubic yards of excavation and 286,568 cubic yards of imported fill.

The board also discussed a revised logistics building for Regeneron on Saw Mill River Road, with a reduced building size and parking layout that disturbs 1.7 acres less than a prior approval. A public hearing was scheduled for a new single-family home at 0 Old Army Road, which would remove 87 regulated trees and disturb 7,342 square feet of steep slope. The board continued its discussion of comprehensive zoning amendments that would create new M-30 Multifamily and TR Tarrytown Road Mixed-Use districts and remove the UR Urban Renewal District. A wetland permit was considered for parking lot modifications at 102 Fairview Park Drive, involving 5,878 square feet of wetland buffer disturbance and a net 3,249 square foot increase in impervious surface.

Greenburgh Board Set to Act on $5.165M Sewer Repair, Reject $24–29M Bypass; Minutes Not Yet Published

Greenburgh's Town Board had a busy late July, with a postponed work session, a regular meeting carrying several high-dollar resolutions, and an Antenna Review Board session on wireless facility proposals. However, minutes have not yet been published for any of these meetings, so it is not confirmed which agenda items were actually voted on or decided. What follows is based on the published agendas only.

$5.165M Sewer Repair and $24–29M Bypass Rejection on the Table

The most consequential item on the July 22 regular Town Board meeting agenda was a resolution to authorize a $5.165 million sanitary sewer repair at 100 East Hartsdale Avenue, while rejecting a more expensive bypass proposal estimated at $24–29 million. Whether the board adopted this resolution cannot be confirmed without published minutes.

The same meeting agenda included a resolution to retain the law firm Cozen O'Connor for village incorporation review at an additional $100,000, bringing the total to $500,000. A decision on the use of limited immunity for improvements to the Odell House Rochambeau Headquarters at 425 Ridge Road was also listed.

Public Hearings: Battery Storage, Sewer Districts, Site Plans

The July 22 regular meeting agenda included several public hearings:

• A local law establishing a Battery Energy Storage System PILOT (payment-in-lieu-of-taxes) program.
• Two sewer district extension hearings.
• An amended site plan for a 110,000 sq ft contractor storage yard at 1 Lawrence Street, Ardsley.
• A continuing care retirement community expansion site plan amendment.

An appointment to the Human Rights Advisory Committee was also on the agenda.

Work Sessions: Ethics Complaint, FOIL Decision, Waste Pickup

The July 21 work session was postponed to July 22 due to inclement weather. Its agenda included a decision on the Hal Samis ethics complaint, a Town Board decision on FOIL request #303, a motion for executive session, and discussion of backdoor garbage pickup at 1 Lawrence Street.

A separate July 22 work session agenda was largely procedural, listing only a motion to enter executive session for personnel matters and legal advice.

The July 28 work session agenda again listed a decision on the Hal Samis ethics complaint and the FOIL #303 decision, suggesting those items may have carried over. That agenda also included discussion of 540 White Plains Road, discussion of backdoor pickup for paper and commingled waste, and a dedication to Eddie Mae Barnes.

Because minutes are not yet available for any of these sessions, it is unclear which decisions were finalized and which remain pending.

Antenna Review Board: T-Mobile/Crown Castle Proposals

On July 29, the Antenna Review Board was scheduled to review proposals from Lauren Berg, Northeast Region Permitting and Utilities Manager, for T-Mobile/Crown Castle Fiber wireless facilities at two sites: 35 Sprain Valley Road and 55 Jackson Avenue. The meeting was set for in-person attendance at Greenburgh Town Hall with a Zoom option. No minutes have been published.

Coming Up

No upcoming meetings are listed for the next 14 days. Residents should check the Town of Greenburgh website for any newly posted meetings or schedule changes.
