3 issues in development with high priority
Fate of the Rolling Wood 'playground' parcel
A vacant lot reserved as a 'playground' on the 1948 Rolling Wood map — never formally dedicated as parkland — is being sold by the homeowners association for a single-family home. Neighbors are split: some want the green space and trail connection preserved, while the majority of the association voted to sell, citing dumping and maintenance burdens. The applicant has promised a recorded footpath easement linking the neighborhood to Davis Street and the West Hills trails.
427 Wolf Hill Road drainage and scale dispute
A Dix Hills neighbor says four years of construction at 427 Wolf Hill Road has flooded his property with mud and water, shaken his house, and produced development out of scale with the neighborhood. The ZBA can only rule on the variances before it, but the chairman promised the engineering department will look into the drainage claims.
NYU Langone Medical Office Parking and Buffering
NYU Langone requested commercial parking on residentially zoned land to alleviate heavy parking congestion on Pulaski Road. The board discussed recommending conditions requiring robust landscape buffering.
