We, the undersigned, request the Mayor and Trustees of the Village of Scarsdale to adopt a resolution imposing a six month moratorium on all development in the village and on all teardowns. During that period, we ask the Mayor and Village Board of Trustees to hold public work sessions on this subject, and to engage consultants and law firms as needed to modernize our codes and strengthen our governance to preserve our neighborhoods from overdevelopment.
Our neighborhood homes are being systematically dismantled by over zealous builders and contractors without regard to history, aesthetics, community and sense of space.
NOW IS THE TIME TO STEP UP and make your opinions known
Dear Friends,
I just signed the petition "STOP Overdevelopment and Stop the Flooding in Scarsdale!" and wanted to ask if you could add your name too.
This campaign means a lot to me and the more support we can get behind it, the better chance we have of succeeding. You can read more and sign the petition here:
80 Garden is back! The proposed 8 home subdivision won't go away. It is the sole topic at a Planning Board meeting on Wednesday 3/20 @ 7PM. Please mark your calendars and show up!!!
Consider the following:
1.Six acres will be clear-cut and over 400 trees will be felled;
2.Tons of fill will be trucked onto the site (2500 trips) in order to raise the topography by 4 feet so that a stormwater drainage system can be installed above the existing high groundwater table.
For those interested in 27 Woods Lane....This past Tuesday February 27 , the Scarsdale Village BOT voted unanimously to support the preservation of 27 Woods Lane citing that the house meets two critical criteria under the Village Code 182-5 (1),(4). This is excellent news and congratulations to those that helped make it happen.
