Scarsdale's Planning Board approved new home constructions at 17 Dolma Road and 39 Aspen Road, plus an amended wetland permit for 21 Sherbrooke Road, all subject to specific conditions. This reflects the board's ongoing effort to manage the impacts of new development and significant property alterations across the village.

What Happened

  • Public hearings for new home constructions at 20 Lebanon Road, 54 Drake Road, 41 Carthage Road (after ARB referral), and 70 Fayette Road were all continued to the January 28, 2026 meeting. This allows applicants more time to address concerns or submit revised plans before a final decision.
  • The board adopted a Negative Declaration under the State Environmental Quality Review Act (SEQR) for 39 Aspen Road and 21 Sherbrooke Road. This is a key procedural step that allows projects affecting wetlands or buffers to proceed by declaring no significant adverse environmental impact.
  • For 41 Carthage Road, the board first referred the application to the Board of Architectural Review for design feedback before continuing its public hearing. This adds an extra step focused on aesthetic and contextual fit within the neighborhood.

Project Outcomes

  • 17 Dolma Road: new home construction approved with conditions, addressing site disturbance and buffer requirements for the new build.
  • 39 Aspen Road: new home construction and wetland permit approved with conditions, allowing demolition and new construction in an environmentally sensitive area.
  • 21 Sherbrooke Road: amended wetland permit approved with conditions, allowing for the construction of a swimming pool and patio within a regulated wetland-controlled area.
