Catching Up

Catching Up

Previous discussions for the 750 White Plains Road redevelopment, formerly Lord & Taylor, primarily focused on a sewer capacity mitigation condition for the Equinox tenancy. The applicant, LT Eastchester LLC, had repeatedly requested to shift this requirement from a building permit to a Certificate of Occupancy condition to prevent significant construction delays and potential loss of the Equinox tenant. Town staff, however, consistently emphasized the importance of maintaining the building permit condition due to the sensitivity of the local sewer shed.
