Planning Board approves Carthage Road subdivision on 4-1 vote
The Scarsdale Planning Board voted 4-1 to approve a residential subdivision at 74 Carthage Road, clearing the way for two new homes. The decision, made during the board's June 24 meeting, was the most significant land-use action among recent municipal gatherings, alongside approvals for a lot merger, a wetlands permit, and signage for a new downtown coffee shop.
Planning Board
At its June 24 meeting, the Planning Board acted on several applications:
- **Caffe Nero special permit** (100 Christie Place): The board provided comments to the Village Board of Trustees on a referral for a special permit. No final action was taken.
- **Glattstein lot merger** (69 Penn Road): Approved a request from Amanda and David Glattstein to merge a lot and build a new home. The board waived preliminary plat requirements.
- **Caccioppoli subdivision** (74 Carthage Road): Gregory Caccioppoli's application to subdivide the property and build two homes was approved with conditions by a 4-1 vote after the board declared the project exempt from State Environmental Quality Review.
- **Rimer wetlands permit** (22 Brookby Road): Mark Rimer's permit application was declared exempt from environmental review and approved.
- **Scarsdale Synagogue** (2 Ogden Road): The public hearing on the site plan was continued to July 13.
