Case No. PB 21-28 Patel, 25 Bayberry Road (P.O. Elmsford, N.Y.) – Minor Project Wetland/Watercourse Permit
The Department of Community Development and Conservation has received a minor project wetland/watercourse permit application involving the proposed demolition of an existing one-family dwelling and construction of a new one-family dwelling predominantly within the footprint of the existing residence, with related improvements. The watercourse and watercourse buffer area on the applicant’s property consists of approximately 35,591 sq. ft., and the applicant is proposing approximately 4,903 sq. ft. of disturbance, all within the regulated buffer area. No direct disturbance to the watercourse is proposed. The applicant proposes approximately 1 cubic yard of excavation, and 0 cubic yards of imported fill. The applicant previously applied for, and was approved, a minor project wetland/watercourse permit as part of Case No. PB 21-02, involving residential additions to the existing residence. Following approval of that project, the applicant proposed modifications to its plans, which necessitate a new wetland/watercourse permit approval, as determined by the Building Inspector and Town Wetlands Inspector. The subject property consists of approx. 43,991 sq. ft., and is situated on the easterly side of Bayberry Road, approximately 660 feet north of the intersection of Bayberry Road and Ox Ridge Road. The property is situated in the R-40 One-Family Residence District, and is designated on the tax map of the Town as Parcel ID: 7.130-21-1.

Case No. PB 20-24 Bloom Energy, 151 Fulton Street (P.O. White Plains, N.Y.) – Planning Board Amended Site Plan – CONTINUED DISCUSSION
A Planning Board amended site plan application involving the proposed installation of six (6) outdoor natural gas clean fuel cell energy servers. The applicant is proposing the installation of six (6) energy servers to provide approximately 1,500 kW of base load power to the site. The installation would have a footprint of approximately 2,450 sq. ft. and be surrounded by bollards, and located within an existing parking lot. The project requires the removal of 14 of the existing 30 off-street parking spaces. The applicant has proposed the addition of 13 off-street parking spaces to compensate, resulting in 29 parking spaces, where 29 are required. The applicant has added a gravel service area around the servers to offset the additional impervious surfaces from the parking spaces. The project has been reviewed by the Town Building Inspector, and the following area variance is required: accessory structure proposed within the front yard. The properties consist of approximately 53,578 sq. ft. (1.23 acres) and are situated on the northern side of the intersection of Fulton Street and Russell Street. The properties are located in the IB Intermediate Business District and are designated on the tax map of the Town of Greenburgh as Parcel ID: 8.80-42-1 & 2.
