Case No. PB 22-03 Jackson Avenue Nursery, 279 Jackson Avenue (P.O. Scarsdale, N.Y.) –Site Plan, Planning Board Steep Slope Permit, and Wetland/Watercourse Permit
A work session to discuss the decision of a Site Plan, Planning Board Steep Slope Permit, and Planning Board Wetland/Watercourse Permit involving the proposed modification of an existing nursery site to facilitate the construction of a cul-de-sac roadway to serve four (4) single-family homes proposed within the City of Yonkers. The Applicant proposes to remove and relocate existing retaining walls and widen an existing curb cut on Jackson Avenue. The cul-de-sac is proposed to be approximately 350 feet in length and 26 feet in width within the Town, and the head of the cul-de-sac is proposed to partially be situated within the City of Yonkers. The Applicant proposes four (4) single-family residences, all entirely within the City of Yonkers. All four (4) proposed one-family residences are expected to obtain water service from the Town, through Consolidated Water District No. 1, for which the Applicant will have to petition the Town Board for out-of-district use. The Applicant proposes approximately 2,625 sq. ft. of disturbance to 15-25% slopes (STEEP SLOPES), approximately 278 sq. ft. of disturbance to 25-35% slopes (VERY STEEP SLOPES), and approximately 1,689 sq. ft. of disturbance to 35%+ slopes (EXCESSIVELY STEEP SLOPES). The project requires 24,542 sq. ft. of disturbance within the 100-foot regulated buffer area of an existing watercourse. No direct disturbance to the watercourse is proposed. The project requires approximately 871 cubic yards of excavation and approximately 2,800 cubic yards of imported fill, requiring a Fill Permit from the Town Engineer. The Applicant proposes an under-road stormwater management system to handle stormwater runoff from impervious surfaces within the Town; the proposed homes will have stormwater management systems of their own, which will be subject to the review and approval of the City of Yonkers. On February 13, 2025, the Zoning Board of Appeals granted the following required Area Variances: (1) Impervious surface coverage, from 29% permitted to 59.2% approved; (2) Side yard setback to driveway, from 16 feet required to 10 feet approved; and (3) Side yard setback to gravel parking area, from 16 feet required to 0 feet approved. The subject property consists of approximately 91,974 sq. ft. (2.18 acres) and is situated on the southwest side of Jackson Avenue, approximately 250 feet from the intersection of Jackson Avenue and Fort Hill Road. The subject property is located in the R-20 One-Family Residence District and is designated on the tax map of the Town of Greenburgh as Parcel ID: 8.580-399-3, 8.580-399-2..LY, and 8.580-399-4..LY.
