A site plan resolution for a five-story building with 100 dwelling units at 1 Croton Point Avenue was approved on June 17‘, 2025, but the resolution was missing a condition regarding an agreed upon action. Condition #24 was added to the site plan resolution which states, “That, under section 230-73 of the Village Zoning Code, the Planning Board finds that the development of this site will contribute to population growth in the Village and that no suitable land is available on the site for a park. Therefore, the Planning board hereby requires the payment by the applicant to the Village of a fee in lieu of parkland in an amount and upon terms deemed satisfactory by the Village Board in its discretion.” Geoffrey Haynes made a motion to approve the amended resolution for site plan approval for WBP Development, LLC for a five-story building with 100 dwelling units at 1 Croton Point Avenue, seconded by John Ghegan, and carried, 5 — 0. 4.
