Scarsdale's Planning Board scheduled a public hearing for March 18, 2026, to consider an application to subdivide three existing lots at 80, 88 and 90 Garden Road into six for five new single-family homes. The proposal involves demolishing two existing homes and includes significant site disturbance and wetland activity, raising concerns about environmental impact and neighborhood character.

What Happened

  • The board set a public hearing date for the 80, 88 and 90 Garden Road subdivision application. This ensures community input before any decisions are made on a proposal that significantly changes the area.
  • The application details include merging three existing lots into six new ones, demolishing two existing homes, and constructing five new single-family homes. This represents a substantial increase in housing density on the site.
