96 Townhome Development with Affordable Housing Proposed; Application Referred for Review
VS Construction Corporation presented an application for preliminary plat approval for a 96-townhome development, including 10% affordable units, on a portion of the Evergreen Manor project site. The proposal involves a 99-lot subdivision to create individual townhome lots, common lots, a commercial lot, and an open space lot with wetlands. Lennar Homes is the contract vendee for the development. Discussions covered the project layout, unit types, fee simple ownership, homeowner association responsibilities, architectural design, parking, wetland mitigation, and traffic studies. The application was referred back to staff for review.
Commercial Building Proposal on Crompond Road Under Review, Site Plan Iterations Discussed
The Planning Board reviewed the application of VS Construction Corporation for site development plan approval and permits for a proposed 9,600 square foot commercial building on Parcel 3 within the medical-oriented district. The discussion involved various iterations of the building's size and location, its integration with a retaining wall system, and potential impacts on neighboring properties. The board requested a visual assessment of different building placements and deferred further review.
New Linear Accelerator Addition Approved for Medical Office Building
The Planning Board considered the application for a 1,877 square foot addition to an existing medical office building to house a new linear accelerator (LINAC) for cancer treatment. The new LINAC system is more technologically advanced than the current one, which is at its end of life. This is a one-for-one replacement, with the existing LINAC room being converted to storage. The application was approved with modifications to the resolution conditions regarding the timing of building permits and certificates of occupancy.
Minor Subdivision Application Referred Back Amid Need for Width Variance
The Planning Board reviewed an application for a two-lot minor subdivision on Putnam Park Road. The proposal aims to create two separate lots for family use, with the existing house on one lot and a proposed new house for the owner's daughter on the other. The applicant stated compliance with area and setback requirements, but a width variance is likely needed for one of the lots. The board referred the application back to staff for further review and advised the applicant to pursue the variance through the zoning board.
Yeshiva Development Application Referred Back for Technical Review Amid Sewer Capacity Discussions
The Planning Board discussed the application of Yeshiva Or Hamir for site plan approval, amended special permit, and wetland/tree removal permits for proposed construction of a dormitory and storage building, along with site improvements. A significant portion of the discussion focused on the capacity of the town's sewer system and the historical representations made by the Yeshiva regarding population numbers. The board decided to refer the application back to staff for additional technical review and to commence preparation of a draft resolution.
