Good Morning,
The blue signs are up all along Executive Blvd. The Southern Westchester Executive Park (SWEP) is proposing a major expansion and the Yonkers Planning Board will be holding a special session at City Hall this Wednesday, November 28th at 7:00 p.m. to determine the scope and details of what their Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) must address.
The SWEP's proposal has two major components:
First, the SWEP seeks to add a 300,000 square foot Children's Hospital. While the current zoning allows for 1,172,000 s.f. of development 1,107,861 s.f. has been built to date and there is an additional 59,979 s.f. already in the approval process for the Cintas Laundry facility - leaving 4,760 s.f. of development space for a 300,000 s.f. project.
Second, the SWEP owns an additional 56 acres and is now seeking approvals for another 467,000 s.f. as a 'second phase' of the Executive Park.
Currently it appears that the Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) will be ignoring traffic along Warburton and Odell Avenues as well as all of Hastings including Jackson Avenue/Ravensdale Road.
The best way to ensure that critical traffic, steep slope and other environmental issues are addressed in the developer's EIS is to attend Wednesday's Planning Board meeting to request that the scope of the EIS enlarged to include these items.
