The Westchester Country Club presented a significantly scaled-back five-lot subdivision plan for Holly Polly Park Road, addressing previous environmental and engineering concerns during the recent Planning Board meeting.

Catching Up

For years, a larger 21-lot subdivision, known as Biltmore Estates, was proposed for the 45-acre forested wetland site at Holly Polly Park Road. This earlier plan faced extensive environmental review, including concerns about tree removal, road construction through wetlands, and steep slope impacts. The project has been before the Harrison Planning Board for several years, navigating various environmental assessments and public hearings due to its potential impact.

Key Insights

The Planning Board reviewed a revised proposal for Holly Polly Park Road that included key adjustments to align with town requirements.

  • The private drive's width will be adjusted from 26 feet to meet town engineering recommendations.
  • Sewers are proposed to be relocated to connect with Holly Polly Park Road.
  • Comprehensive stormwater management and wetland conservation easements are also part of the plan for Holly Polly Park Road.

Zooming In

This new five-lot proposal for Holly Polly Park Road represents a significant reduction from the earlier 21-lot subdivision plan, which had been the subject of extensive environmental review. The smaller scale indicates a shift in strategy by the Westchester Country Club to address prior concerns related to wetlands and overall site impact.
