The Greenburgh Planning Board recommended that the Town Board require Metropolis Country Club to directly consult neighbors on screening and noise impacts for its amended site plan. This move signals the board's intent to elevate direct community feedback as a condition for approving large-scale projects.

What Happened

  • The board recommended the Town Board require the Metropolis Country Club applicant to consult directly with neighbors on Schiazzina Place about existing and proposed screening, and noise impacts. This pushes developers beyond standard notification to active community engagement before the Town Board’s public hearing.
  • The board also recommended the Town Board explore additional stormwater and erosion control measures, including potential monitoring, for the Metropolis Country Club project. This reflects ongoing resident concerns about runoff from existing construction on the site impacting the community.
  • The board approved a steep slope permit for a new detached garage at 50 Mulligan Lane with an added condition. The town engineer must confirm that the project will not increase stormwater runoff, directly addressing resident concerns about downstream impacts.
  • The board granted the DiNapoli Subdivision a fifth 180-day extension for its preliminary subdivision approval, retroactive to October 6, 2025. This allows the developer more time to resolve fire access, cul-de-sac sizing, and utility line issues with the Bureau of Engineering.

Project Outcomes

  • 50 Mulligan Lane (new detached garage): Steep slope permit approved with a condition for the town engineer to confirm no increase in stormwater runoff.
  • DiNapoli Subdivision (preliminary subdivision): Fifth 180-day extension approved for ongoing engineering and Westchester County Department of Health reviews.
  • RMC Carriage Hill Subdivision (street name amendment): Condition 7.8 was amended to officially name the roadway "Westchester View Lane."
  • Metropolis Country Club (town board amended site plan & tree removal permit): Neutral recommendation sent to the Town Board for an amended site plan and tree removal permit, with additional conditions for neighbor engagement and stormwater exploration.
  • Metropolis Country Club (area variances): Neutral recommendation sent to the Zoning Board for height and setback variances, noting the proposed building is visually lower and further set back than the existing structures it replaces.

What's Next

  • The Town Board will consider the Planning Board's recommendations for Metropolis Country Club's amended site plan and tree removal permit, including the mandate for applicant-neighbor engagement and additional stormwater controls.
  • The Zoning Board will review the Planning Board's neutral recommendation for Metropolis Country Club's area variances, informed by the factual context of existing conditions.
  • The DiNapoli Subdivision developer has until April 4, 2026, to finalize engineering and health department approvals for their subdivision.
