Subject: 385 Kear Street - Mohansic Trail Head Proposed Additional Improvement Plan
The New York New Jersey Trail Conference (NYNJTC) assists the Town of Yorktown in planning, developing,
maintaining, and protecting trails managed by their Parks and Recreation Department as per the
Memorandum of Understanding signed on 7/8/2013. As volunteer supervisors for the NYNJTC, we have
been asked to comment on the impact of the mitigation proposed by Nantucket Sound Sons LLC in the
Amended Site Plan Application for the Mohansic Trailway access on Baldwin Rd. NYNJTC trail maintainers
are responsible for clearing vegetation on a path sufficiently wide and high enough so that users can easily
walk the trail without touching surrounding growth. On boardwalks, maintainers trim and remove vegetation
directly on the trail and within 12–18 inches of the boardwalk edge.
The applicant proposes removing invasive Japanese knotweed, multiflora rose, and Japanese barberry, and
replanting the trail entry area with native species. These invasives grow rapidly and heavily encroach on the
trail, so their removal should improve conditions and support routine maintenance needed to keep the trail
accessible. However, eliminating Japanese knotweed and restoring the area with native plants is a long-term
effort requiring a multi-pronged, multi-year strategy that should extend beyond the two proposed interventions
and the one-year post-planting guarantee. Basic establishment of a restored area typically takes 3–5 years,
while developing a robust, resilient ecosystem can take 5–10 years with continued invasive-species
management. The plan also calls for protecting an existing patch of Queen Anne’s lace, but because this
species is non-native, often considered invasive, and classified as a noxious weed in some states, special
protection is not necessary.
The applicant also proposes installing two benches along the trail. Because the boardwalk is designed to be
accessible, the placement of benches should not reduce the current trail width. NYNJTC volunteers are
responsible for maintaining trail infrastructure such as boardwalks and bridges but not park infrastructure such
as benches; any issues with these are promptly reported to the Parks and Recreation Department. The P&R
Department can advise on the type of bench that would be appropriate for a high-use site exposed to the
elements.
Please let us know if you have any additional questions,
Sincerely,
Felicity Arengo, Michael MacDonald

Felicity,
Please take a look at the attached plan from the applicant who is supposed to remove the knotweed. They need to
provide more mitigation for their site, so when they remove the knotweed, they also are proposing the improvements
in red. As those that maintain the trail, we would like to know your thoughts about the proposed plan.
Thanks,
Robyn

Date:Thursday, August 6, 2026 2:31:12 PM
Joe,
Thanks for finally getting this done.
The contractor can get the permit before spring. It will be a condition of the approval.
Are you able to attend Monday night? The site plan is being amended to deal with the
HVAC situation which results in the change and increase in mitigation plan work the
contractor will perform. The focus of the discussion will be on the site plan andfinalizing the approval. The only questions for the contractor will be when and how the
work will be done if the Board wants clarification. Is there any type of wetland scientist
that will follow the mitigation to certify it is done properly? Or anyone on staff with the
contractor that can enumerate steps that are completed during the process?
Robyn

The subject application proposes amending the Home and Hearth site plan to reduce the size of the showroom,
reduce the number of parking spaces, and move the proposed stormwater system to the rear of the building.
The applicant also proposes amending the gas station driveway and easement to allow for the building to move
closer to the road. The parking lot entrance has also moved to the east and will need DOT review and approval.
The Planning Department has reviewed the submitted plans and has the following comments:

SBL: 37.06-1-25 & 37.05-2-2
____________________________________________________________________________________
The subject subdivision consists of two parcels, 16.6 acres and 13.09 acres, within the R1-40 zone. Lot 37.06-1-
25 previously obtained a preliminary layout approval for the Hilltop Associates Minor Subdivision in 2008 and
was reapproved until 2018. The Applicant now proposes to subdivide two lots into 17 single-family lots. One
lot will contain the existing residence, and 16 new lots will be created. There will be an 18th lot that will be
transferred to an adjoining property and will not be a part of the proposed subdivision. Public sewer will access
the site via a sanitary sewer easement that begins on a parcel on Sultana Drive and will run north along the
eastern portion of the subdivision and out to Elizabeth Road.
After a preliminary meeting with the town staff, the applicant has stated that they will obtain an updated wetland
delineation, redesign the 3 southernmost parcels to remove the cul-de-sac, and begin designing the necessary
stormwater mitigation. The applicant will need to acquire variances for the redesigned parcels as they will not
meet the minimum requirements for frontage.

Subject: Town Board Referral – 3850 Foothill Street; 15.07-1-7
Proposed rezone of a 16.8-acre lot in the R1-40 zone to R-3 to facilitate the development of a 14-unit
multi-family project.
The Conservation Board reviewed the above referenced subject during their meeting held on Wednesday, August 5, 2026.
Peder Scott, Project Engineer; and Tom Racek, property owner, were present. The proposal is to rezone the existing
vacant property from R1-40 to R-3 to allow for a 14-unit / 2-bedroom multi-family rental development on a 16.8-acre
parcel.
The Conservation Board has the following comments:
• Rezoning will allow the applicant to build the rental units on 4 acres rather than the 6 acres of land that a
traditional single-family development would disturb.
• The plan would also decrease the amount of impervious surface created.
• The applicant is also proposing to link into the existing sewer system.
• The applicant shared a planting plan for the area adjacent to Foothill Street. A monitoring plan for the proposed
landscaping was noted on the site plan. Who will monitor the plantings?
The Conservation Board is in favor of the rezoning as the environmental impacts would be lessened, especially if a sewer
connection is installed. We request that the applicant return to the Board once a tree survey is conducted and a fully
realized wetland mitigation and landscaping plan is developed.

The Yorktown Community Housing Board recognizes that there are both positive and negative considerations associated with the Rezoning Request for the Foothill Road subdivision proposal (as with most proposals). The Board determined that the positive attributes of this proposed rezoning outweigh the negatives and support the rezoning. Our reasons include:
the creation of twenty (20) non-age restricted rental units provides more housing diversity thanseven (7) single family homesthe inclusion of four (4) affordable units addresses an urgent need in the communitythe 20 unit clustered proposal would connect to sewers, and disturb less land, both environmentalbenefits
