Prior to this meeting, the 42 Maple Avenue project sought to re-subdivide three lots into two, creating a new building lot for a single-family home. While the new home is designed to meet zoning requirements, the existing residence requires several variances for lot frontage, side yard setback, and floor area ratio due to its R-3 zoning. The Planning Board had previously adopted Lead Agency Status and issued a Negative Declaration under SEQRA.

Zooming In

Zooming In

The property at 42 Maple Avenue presents a unique situation as it crosses multiple zoning districts: R-3 and R-5 within the Town of Eastchester, and even touches the RES-A5 zone in the Village of Tuckahoe. The proposed new single-family residence will be built entirely within the R-5 district. However, the lot for the existing house, which sits in the R-3 zone, requires specific area variances related to lot frontage, side yard setback, and exceeding the maximum floor area ratio.
