Sadly, it was predictable: the rubber stamp came down hard tonight. The Yorktown Zoning Board of Appeals granted all 5 zoning variances for FBC in the face of overwhelming evidence that the parking load cannot be supported by the new building. They never asked questions about whether or not the variances were the minimum adjustment to established, valid zoning laws. They didn't ask the applicant if they could reduce the 3 major zoning variances by even 6 inches.
Now that it's official, we've got an uphill battle--but one worth fighting. Get ready for a 15 day window where we will be allowed to comment on the environmental concerns. I'll bet we see a planning board working meeting in the near future. I'll keep an eye out and keep this site fresh. Please stay tuned.
Congratulations to Albert A. Capellini, Esq. on his successful bid for for 5 zoning variances which the Yorktown ZBA unanimously approved tonight. He certainly worked hard for them.
