Hello Everyone,
It was a busy week in Hartsdale. We know Thursday was a stressful day for a lot of Hartsdale residents. Hoping everyone got home safe, we know many of you had difficult commutes. We wanted to recap some of what happened this week and give a listing of events coming up.
This past week on Wednesday there were three separate events going on at the same time and we are proud to say that there were HNA representatives at all of them. The biggest event was the Town Board meeting on Wednesday that featured a public discussion regarding the proposed future residential development of the Elmwood Country Club. The developer discussed two options for developing the site, 175 Active 55+ Townhomes, or 119 single family homes. The developer prefers the Townhome option and would like the town to approve zoning changes to allow them to build the 175 units. No special permissions would be required for the single-family home plan. In order to build the townhomes, the developer has offered to donate and develop 14 acres of parkland adjacent to E. Rumbrook Park. A consensus was reached to hire the services of a professional land-use firm to do an independent environmental, traffic/environmental review of both proposals—and to analyze all concerns and questions residents may have about the options. You can watch the whole discussion below. My comments come 77 minutes into the Elmwood Documents Part 2 of 2 section.
