Case No. PB 19-18 Jee, 109 Highland Road (P.O. Scarsdale, N. Y.) – Minor Project Wetland/Watercourse Permit
A public hearing to discuss a minor project wetland/watercourse permit application consisting of the proposed legalization of site work which took place following the demolition of a then-existing single-family residence and the construction of a new single family residence, with related improvements, on the subject property. The applicant received a conditional wetland/watercourse clearance form approval (WCF 17-190) through the Town Wetlands Inspector, on December 8, 2017, to construct a new, two-story residence on an existing foundation, with related improvements. As the existing foundation later was found to be unsuitable to support a new residence, the applicant, with approval, proceeded to construct a new residence on a new foundation, which work was later found to extend beyond the scope of the approved area of work identified in the wetland/watercourse clearance form. The applicant was mandated by the Building Inspector to cease all outdoor work activities, and to file a new wetland/watercourse clearance form. Upon its review, the Town Wetlands Inspector issued a denial of the wetland/watercourse clearance form, and referred the applicant to file a wetland/watercourse permit application, to legalize all work conducted to date within the regulated watercourse buffer area, and to seek approval for any additional work proposed. The applicant’s property contains approximately 13,936 sq. ft. of watercourse and watercourse buffer area. The applicant disturbed approximately 575 sq. ft. of wetland/watercourse buffer area on the subject property, in connection with the construction of a new single-family residence, garage and driveway expansion, and stormwater management system. The applicant now proposes to resume and complete such work to legalize it. In connection with the completion of site work, the applicant proposes an approximately 134 sq. ft. patio to the rear of the dwelling, and the connection of certain roof leaders to the installed stormwater management system. The applicant proposes the installation of an approximately 10 foot wide vegetated buffer, along the edge of the existing on-site watercourse, consisting of various trees, shrubs, and groundcovers. The subject property consists of approximately 16,382 sq. ft., and is situated on the easterly side of Highland Road, approximately 125 ft. north of the intersection of Highland Road and Greenville Road. The property is situated in the R-7.5 One-Family Residence District, and is designated on the tax map of the Town of Greenburgh as Parcel ID: 8.460-318-11.
