taxesWe've often been asked by readers how all the new construction in the Village is impacting taxes. If taxes on the new homes are far greater than the ones they replaced, shouldn't that ease the burden on existing homeowners?

We asked Village Assessor Nanette Albanese for her opinion and here is what she explained:

How has the amount of new construction in the Village impacted taxes for current homeowners? New construction always has the effect of offsetting increases in the subsequent year's combined tax rate, but by how much requires a special study that has not been undertaken;

Has the total assessed value of Village real estate for 2015 increased more than the tax rate increase? Since the 2015 assessment roll is still in the protest period, although final as of September 15, 2015, the final outcome can never be determined, or estimated until after the subsequent year's tax rates are issued and then some (some protests go on for years) ..... moreover, an assessment roll is set in advance of a tax roll, so the relationship between the two rolls, if studied, cannot be known, or estimated until after the school tax rate is finalized just before the bills go out in September 2016; at that time, I think most people will be more interested in what is, or has taken place with the 2016 reassessment .... Maybe not!

Without exception, the value of and, therefore, the taxes generated on all new homes constructed are ALWAYS much higher than the homes that they replace; however, I can't tell you if the percent increase in the tax rate overall is less than, greater than, or equal to the percent increase in assessed value as a result of that new construction. Again, that would require a special study, which quite frankly would not be easy, would not be quick and would serve only an anecdotal purpose.

We also asked the same question to Robert Berg, who served on the Board of Assessment Review following the tax revaluation and here is what he said:

"Remember the tax levy is increasing yearly so the increase in assessed values by the new construction (and the concomitant rise in taxes on those properties) may only partially offset the increase in the tax levy or even if it more than fully offsets it, the decrease in an older homeowner's property tax may be slight. Regardless, the reval has much more equitably distributed the tax burden"

poolandtenniscourtThe Scarsdale Law and Land Use Committee held an additional public hearing on a proposed law to treat gravel as impervious for purposes of lot coverage at 8 am meeting on Wednesday September 29. Despite the early hour, the meeting was well attended.

Before opening the floor to public comments, the Board reviewed some new materials that were produced by consultants Frederick P. Clark Associates in response to question raised at the September 21 hearing

The document states the intent of the legislation which is to "protect the ratio of built areas to green open space on lot which is part of neighborhood character... and to balance the rights of the individual property owners with the right of the community to enjoy the traditional character of the neighborhood." As to why the definition of gravel is being used, the document says, "The NYSDEC and local municipal engineering departments throughout Westchester County , including Scarsdale, all include gravel as an impervious surface. Since the current definition (as pervious) provides a way to increase lot coverage when gravel paving is proposed, amending the definition will affect the maximum allowable lot coverage."

The consultants prepared a chart showing maximum allowable lot coverage by lot size in Scarsdale and neighboring communities so that Scarsdale's code could be compared to neighboring towns. Another chart outlined lot coverage standards by town, offering an interesting look at how lot coverage is regulated. For instance, in Scarsdale lot coverage is specified in square footage, depending on lot size, while in Bronxville a minimum of 50% of the lot area must be "vegetated open space." This differs from the approach in Scarsdale where the percentage of allowable lot coverage is reduced as the property size gets larger.

A third document was a Q & A form than answered many of the questions raised at previous meetings.

There was also a discussion of whether or not other municipalities consider gravel as impervious in both their stormwater and lot coverage regulations. The consultant said that most communities consider it an impervious substance for both purposes.

Village Planner Elizabeth Marrinan explained that currently 10-11% of Scarsdale homes have gravel driveways, but that 25% of applications for new homes utilize gravel to meet lot coverage requirements. She also said, "This is not as drastic a change as people think, because 89 – 90% of homes are conforming."

Trustee Carl Finger asked Marrinan to run through some estimated numbers to show how the law could affect lot coverage on homes on an acre. She explained that 13,000 square feet of coverage is permitted on a one-acre property and the maximum building imprint is 4,630 square feet. That leaves approximately 9,000 square feet for a driveway, pool, patios, walking paths or a tennis court. Even if the driveway is 150 feet long, it would take up 1,500 square feet or perhaps 3,000 square feet for a circular drive.

In an exchange that grew heated, builder Steve Rakoff said, "I am surprised my study was not posted on the village website or presented here. We need to hear each other! My point is that I counted the gravel driveways. And the calculation is dramatically different in Murray Hill." When Trustee Finger sought to interject, Rakoff objected and Finger said, "Don't chastise me." Rakoff continued, "There is a cancer here. Some people get very disrespectful."

John Brandt said, "My mother owns a 1.5 acre property. She has a pool and a tennis court and a circular driveway and a 6,000 square foot house. If she is grandfathered now what happens when the person from Goldman Sachs wants to tear down the house and build a 10,000 square foot house?"

Village Attorney Wayne Essanason replied, "If you have a C of O for the existing property and your amenities are conforming you are grandfathered."

Lena Crandall said, "There needs to be a community focused discussion on this issue." She urged everyone to get acquainted with sustainable LEED-certified design and smart development. She said, "I am all for making money. But our comprehensive plan needs an overhaul. What is the reason for having open space? Why does Bronxville require 50% open space and why does the Conservation Advisory Council recommend 50% tree canopy coverage."

Landscape Designer Elaine Yellen said, " I am here to represent people who live on properties of 1/3 acre. We will suffer the most. Gravel is not always built on an impervious surface. I have 60 projects that I built that will now be non-conforming. What should I do with places in the yard where you can't get grass to grow? Cover that area with river stones that improve drainage and look lovely. If you live on a decent size property and want a patio and a walkway, it will be tight."

Elana Ezratty said, "Rakoff only surveyed his neighborhood. There are acre lots in Greenacres, Fox Meadow and Quaker Ridge that are not in this study. I understood that the intent of the law was to prevent 6,000-7,000 square foot houses from going up on 1/3 to 1/2 acre lots. But this attacks larger properties."

Local realtor Lynne Clark said, "You the Trustees, our elected representatives through the non-partisan system, have an important decision to make, one that affects the future development of our entire Village on most properties. My main concern, if you pass this new law, is for those who live on smaller lots, not only the larger ones. By taking away lot coverage options through making gravel impervious, the law before you stifles the ability to create what todays families are looking for. The zoning appeal process will be extensive, complicated, long and expensive. After listening to all the comments this morning and last week, it is my recommendation that it is in best interest of our Village to drop the moratorium now and let us all get on with our lives."

Dan Hochvert, who chairs the Planning Board explained the Planning Board's findings on the proposed amendment. He said, "The management of stormwater is addressed under Chapter 254 of the Village Code and although all Planning Board members agreed, we split 3/2 regarding the retention of the term "impervious" in Chapter 310 (lot coverage). The Planning Board unanimously supported the changes in 310 that the consultant developed. Under the FAR section of 310, properties over 1.75 acres were exempt from the FAR, but although there was some discussion regarding possibly increasing the amount of coverage permitted for large properties that approach would permit not only more coverage from gravel but other types of coverage to increase."

The Board of Trustees will continue to consider the amendment at their meeting on Tuesday October 13 at 8 pm at Village Hall.

housing-market-forecastThough the market for homes priced under $2mm remains strong in Scarsdale, overall trends are not as encouraging. First the good news: A new listing in Scarsdale last week with an asking price of $1,350,000 received over 10 bids demonstrating a keen interest on the part of buyers for first homes to move to Scarsdale. On the other hand, there is a 20% increase in overall inventory over this time last year, a 30% decrease in pending sales and a 7% decrease in properties sold. The median price is down 3% year-to-date over last year.

Most of the inventory increase is in the $3MM and up market where sales are down 29.4% from last year. However, this year four houses priced at $5 mm and up sold as compared to three for this time period in 2014. Realtors are hopeful that year-end bonuses will bring out more high-end buyers. Open Houses have been attracting many potential buyers in the $3MM and under range.

In Edgemont, business is strong. There are about 13% fewer listings right now than last year at this time, a 60% increase in pending sales over last year and a 10% increase in properties sold! However, the median price is down about 8%. (This market report was provided by Elise Flagg and Laura Miller of Houlihan Lawrence in Scarsdale.)
