RE: Special Permit Application for Marco Ordonez of M & J Auto Repair Corp
485 South Riverside Avneue
DATE: November 8, 2023
At its regularly scheduled meeting on November 7*, 2023, the Planning Board of the Village of
Croton-on-Hudson reviewed the referral from the Village Board regarding an application to
renew a Special Permit to operate a motor vehicle repair garage at 485 South Riverside Avneue
and modify the special permit to include an existing 6’ x 12’ shed to store various equipment
and supplies. The current special permit expires on November 15", 2023.
The Planning Board voted to make a recommendation to renew the Special Permit for a period
of 18 months, during which time the three open violations on the property will need to be
remedied. The applicant must come back to the Planning Board for Site Plan Approval for the
existing 6’ x 12’ shed on the property. The applicant submitted a sign permit application to
legalize the existing signs that have not been approved that the VEB will review on November
15. 2023.
Lastly, a large concrete block type retaining wall was installed on the north side of the building
behind the small addition without a building permit and certificate of occupancy in violation of
sections 86-10A and 86-18A of the Village Code. It is the landlord’s responsibility to repair the
existing retaining wall or submit a satisfactory plan with a timeline for resolution of this
violation, which is why the Planning Board suggests issuing the Special Permit for 18-months
with a condition that the applicant submit an application for amended site plan approval for the
shed within 60 days of the date of the special permit renewal.
The Village Engineer stated that he would be issuing a violation to the owner of the property for
the retaining wall.
