Chairperson ANN GALLELLI Members LEN SIMON STUART GREENBAUM Attorney LINDA WHITEHEAD Village Engineer DANIEL O’CONNOR, P.E. KAREN STAPLEOTN TO: Mayor Brian Pugh and the Village Board of Trustees FROM: AnnGallelli, Chairman of the Waterfront Advisory Committee SUBJECT: Request for Zoning Text Change to the North End Gateway Overlay Zoning District by Matra Group LLC 1380 Albany Post Road - Referral from Village Board for a recommendation of consistency with the Village’s Local Waterfront Revitalization Program DATE: December 16, 2021 On December 15th, 2021, the Waterfront Advisory Committee (WAC) reviewed the above-referenced referral for consistency with the Village’s Local Waterfront Revitalization Program (LWRP). Based on the review of the Coastal Assessment Form (CAF) dated November 1, 2021, and other application documents, the WAC made a recommendation of consistency with the LWRP. The vote was 3-0. The WAC evaluated this application for consistency in accordance with the LWRP policy standards and conditions set forth in section 225-6(J) of the Village Code, which are further explained and described in Section III of the LWRP. The WAC members reviewed the policies in the LWRP and believe that the policies listed below are applicable to this application. In a review of the CAF, the following was noted: SEE ATTACHED MARKED UP CAF. The revisions to the CAF reflect that the action at this time is only a request for a zoning text change. The policies the WAC believes are relevant are as follows: Policy 1A: Existing planning and zoning documents should be reviewed and amended where necessary to ensure development within the community is consistent with adopted goals and policies. The North End Gateway Overlay district is located in the North End Coastal Zone Section which was shown in the 1992 Local Waterfront Revitalization Program (Figure #3) as a coastal zone section that was planned for future residential uses. The underlying zoning is O-1. The proposed zoning change will include Housing as a permitted use as well as retail and other commercial uses. Policy 5A: When feasible, development within the Village should be directed within the current service area of existing water and sewer facilities or in close proximity to areas where distribution lines currently exist. The Village water main is located on the east side of Albany Post Road and is available to all properties in the North End Gateway Overlay District. A private sewer main for the Baltic Estates Sewage Works Corporation is also located on the east side of Albany Post Road however the properties in the North End Gateway Overlay Zoning District are not located in the sewer district for the Baltic Estates Sewage Works Corporation and therefore are not able to be served by the private sewer main. Extension of the Village sanitary sewer collection system to serve the North End Gateway Overlay District is not feasible. However, the WCHD has determined that properly designed wastewater treatment systems would be appropriate in this overlay district. Request for Zoning Text Change to the North End Gateway Overlay Zoning District by Matra Group LLC 1380 Albany Post Road - Referral from Village Board for a recommendation of consistency with the Village’s Local Waterfront Revitalization Program Policy 5C: Limit proposed development within those portions of the coastal zone boundary area where traffic impacts such as site distance and carrying capacity of the roadways are restricted, particularly along Route 9A, Albany Post Road and Route 129. The North End Gateway Overlay district is located along a section of Albany Post Road. This section of Albany Post Road has sufficient sight distance and sufficient capacity. It is noted that the area on the east side of Albany Post Road is almost entirely open space area with no curb cuts onto Albany Post Road and therefore limits proposed development to the west side of Albany Post Road. An intersection with Warren Road and Scenic Drive West is located at the very southerly end of the North End Gateway Overlay District and an intersection with Baltic Place is located about 300 feet north of the North End Gateway Overlay District. The WAC believes that the proposed application will not have any potentially significant adverse impacts on coastal resources and is consistent with the LWRP policy standards and conditions. Because there are no expected adverse impacts on coastal resources, there is no reason to consider alternative actions or mitigation measures. It is for the reasons contained in this memorandum that the WAC issues its recommendation of consistency. , vacant parcels, residential entire North End Gateway Overlay District (8 parcels total) ~7.6 acres X
