Kory Sal Vy, ) @ ZARIN & ksalomone@zarin-steinmetz.com f™ STEINMETZ up Also admitted in CT June 10, 2025 Sent Via Email Robert Luntz, Chair Croton-on-Hudson Planning Board Re: 1380 Albany Post Road, Croton-on-Hudson Special Permit Renewal Hon. Chair and Members of the Planning Board: As you know, this firm represents the Matra Group, LLC (“Matra”), owner of the property located at 1380 Albany Post Road (“Property”) in connection with previously received special permit and site plan approvals for the construction of an approximately 33,400 s.f. multi-family building (“Project”) on the Property. Board of Trustees originally granted special permit approval for the Project on August 15, 2022. A copy of the Special Permit Resolution of Approval is attached as Exhibit A. Your Board subsequently granted site plan approval of the Project on October 22, 2022. Most recently, we appeared before your Board in connection with a site plan extension request, which was granted in April. Pursuant to § 230-63B of the Village Zoning Code, Special Permit approvals automatically expire after 3 years unless substantial construction has begun. In this case, the Special Permit approval is set to expire on August 15, 2025. As we noted to your Board previously, Matra has submitted a building permit to the Engineering Department for review and comment. This application has been outsourced for review and a first round of comments have been issued. While our consultants are diligently addressing those comments and preparing for re-submission, it is unlikely that substantial construction will begin prior to the August 15, 2025 expiration date. Therefore, we are requesting a renewal of the special permit at this time. A Special Permit Renewal Application is attached as Exhibit B. For your reference the previously approved Existing Conditions, Demo, and Site Layout Plan prepared by Alfonzetti Engineering, P.C., dated September 10, 2021, last revised October 18, 2022 and the architectural plans prepared by DeMasi Architects, P.C., dated October 6, 2022, are enclosed herewith. Please place this matter on the Planning Board’s next available agenda for review and the scheduling of the required public hearing. Please don’t hesitate to contact me if you have questions.
