HEARING

733-741 MIDDLE NECK ROAD (Section 1 Block 1 Lot(s) 5, 106)

PLEASE TAKE NOTICE, that the Zoning Board of Appeals of the Village of Great Neck shall hold a public hearing on Thursday, February 6, 2020 at 7:30PM, at Village Hall, 61 Baker Hill Road, Great Neck, NY 11023 to hear the application of Joseph Shemtov of Gesher Community,LLC, owner, represented by John Farrell, attorney, for the premises at 733-741 Middle Neck Road in Great Neck. The applicant is seeking the following variance(s) from the Village Zoning Code:

Section 575-110 limits the maximum density for a multifamily dwelling to be at the ratio of 43 dwelling units per acre, or 15 dwelling units for this property. The applicant has advised the Village that they will not seek an incentive to increase the maximum population density but will instead seek a variance from the Zoning Board of Appeals. (For reference, under incentive zoning Section 575-288 F ​​ the maximum density for a multifamily dwelling shall not exceed 48 dwelling units per acre.). The design proposes 25 dwelling units. A variance of 10 dwelling units is required.

Section 575- 112 requires a minimum front yard of 15 feet from the property line and 21 feet from the curb on each street, for a corner lot; unless otherwise approved by the Board of Trustees. The design proposes front yards of 0 feet from the property line and 10 feet from the curb, for each street. Dimensional adjustments of 15 feet from the property line and 11 feet from the curb for each street are required. (Please note, as per Section 575-288 F​—​No incentive shall be given that reduces the ten-foot setback from the property line unless there is sufficient area of not less than 10 feet between the building and the sidewalk for a landscape buffer). The design does not provide an area of at least 10 feet between the building and the sidewalk for a landscape buffer. A variance eliminating this requirement is required.

Section 575-155 does not permit any portion of a garage, the floor space of which is not counted as floor area, to project nearer to a public street than the front wall of the balance of the building of which it is a part. The design proposes 10-foot garage projections (nearer to a public street than the front wall of the balance of the building) on the north, south and west elevations. A variance eliminating this requirement is required.

The premises are also known as Section 1, Block 1, Lots 5, 106 on the Nassau County Land and Tax Map, and are located in the Residential E or Apartment District, Middle Neck Road Multifamily Incentive Overlay District. A copy of the application materials is available for review in the Village of Great Neck Building Department, Village Hall, during regular business hours.

If anyone needs special accommodations for a disability, such person should contact the Village Clerk at least 5 days before the hearing. At said hearing, all parties and interests will be given an opportunity to be heard.
