Board declares Madison Avenue subdivision complete and schedules hearing; applicant to seek ZBA variances

The Planning Board reviewed an application to subdivide two lots on Madison Avenue into four and construct two duplexes. Daniel Herzberg, the consulting engineer, told the board the project requires three area variances — including a sideline variance and relief from a minimum unit size requirement (applicants showed first‑floor area of about 657 sq ft versus the 720 sq ft minimum).

After discussing outstanding items — including the environmental short form and utility/curb‑cut reviews — the board classified the action as unlisted under SEQR/"Seeker," declared the application complete and scheduled a hearing for Feb. 17. Staff advised the applicant to deliver remaining materials by the upcoming Monday to be on track for the Zoning Board of Appeals meeting on March 4.

What’s next: Applicant will submit the environmental short form and any required utility/curb‑cut applications before Monday so the project can proceed to the ZBA on March 4 and to the planning board hearing on Feb. 17.
