Will the Building Code Revisions Reduce the Size of New Homes?

With the expiration of the building moratorium looming in July, the Scarsdale Board of Trustees is pressing forward with proposed changes to the building code, ostensibly to address some of the issues that prompted the building moratorium originally.
Complaints about teardowns, oversized houses, shrinking open space and flooding were on the list of issues that residents hoped would be addressed by the Planning consultants who were retained to make recommendations for building code revisions.
Due to the six- month time frame, the consultants narrowed their scope and proposed that the Village consider the subjects of historic preservation and design guidelines at a later time. So these current recommendations consider the application process, setbacks, floor area ratio, lot coverage and open space.
On Tuesday June 25 the Village Board held their second public hearing on the proposed code changes. The Village Attorney reviewed some changes that had been made to the draft as outlined in the slide below due to input at the June 11 public hearingat the June 11 public hearing.
Some of the updates strengthened the review process, required construction management plans to protect the neighbors and increased requirements for applicants. At the request of the Mayor, the Village Attorney also added code about fees and penalties for those who demolished buildings without getting approvals or violated building code. Fees will go up for multiple offenses. These changes seemed to pass muster with everyone on the Board.
One of the key levers to increase open space is a provision that would count gravel as “impervious” rather than pervious. This means that gravel driveways would now count in the calculation for lot coverage. So those with a gravel or asphalt driveway might have to cut back on patios or the footprint of their home to meet the coverage requirements.
Several architects and builders came to the podium to object to this new definition.
Eilon Amidor of 69 Morris Lane said, “As a village we have a lot of rules and regulations. More rules is more costs. You are hurting the homeowners…. I have a 20,000 square foot gravel driveway. After this, I will not be able to expand unless I convert my driveway to permeable pavers. I spoke to my attorney and he says this is a “constitutional taking.” You are diminishing our rights. It will make no difference to the builders – it will hurt the homeowners. I would encourage you to take a referendum so that everyone in the Village knows what the consequence will be for their property.”
Roz Young from 6 Norwood Road said, “I am very upset about the gravel rules that have changed. How is the porous paver any better when it is installed over the same material as gravel? Porous pavers are hideous and depends on rigorous maintenance. Porous pavers are five times the cost of gravel. Gravel has always been impervious…. If a house has a 2,000 square foot driveway, and the client wants to add a 200-foot mudroom – does the client have to remove 200 square feet of driveway or the entire driveway?”
Another provision of the new law is a revised schedule of bonus square footage by zoning district. This provision allows increases in the square footage of homes as a bonus for setting the home back beyond the minimum setback requirement.
See below for the current bonuses and two schedules of proposed revisions to these bonuses. Consultants proposed these reductions as a way to decrease the bulk of new construction projects, one of the chief complaints from residents.
Board members were divided on the size of the bonus square footage:
Trustee Gans and Trustee Ahuja felt that the existing bonuses should be left in place. Gans said, “I favor doing the minimum and being more cautious…. “We don’t want to be too bulky – but we have to allow the housing stock to turn over and meet the expectations of buyers.”
Ahuja said, “All of these new houses get bought – why would we want to restrict this. I feel like we are legislating people’s lives.”
Trustee Karen Brew pointed out that these reductions were virtually the only new measure in the proposal that would address the bulk and height of new homes in the A5 district, where some of the lots are as small as a tenth of an acre.
She said, “If you walk these neighborhoods they are using every inch of allowable space and the new houses dwarf the existing houses. The old houses have more generous setbacks. These new ones are taller and they are eyesores. We are not solving for that as proposed. I am worried about the entire neighborhood. Am I the only who feels this way?” She later said, “But the economics are driving what is being built here – I would like us to do something about it. It’s the teardowns that are changing the fabric of the neighborhood – not the renovations.”
Trustee Jeremy Wise and Trustee Ken Mazer agreed.
As the Board was unable to reach consensus on this issue, the Mayor suggested that the matter be discussed by the working group who was drafting the proposal.
In other public comments, Jim Detmer of Woods Lane said, “The focus of the moratorium was around bulk and stormwater run-off. Have we accomplished this? It is very difficult for the public to envision how this is going to work. I am hopeful – but it is suspect When BFJ says we are reducing runoff by 1% that’s not very convincing. After we put in the design guidelines I hope we can make a difference. I am skeptical at this point.
Jeffrey Osterman of Oak Lane called for the consultants to provide renderings to illustrate the effects of these new provisions on proposed projects. He said, “It would have been helpful to see examples of how these code changes would have affected some construction projects.” Cathy Lu agreed and called for the consultants to provide some case studies.
The Village Board will meet again on July 9, 2024 to enact these changes. If necessary they may call for a third public hearing. You can review the proposed building code changes here.

Real Estate: Illegal Tree Removals and Home Sales
- Details
- Category: Real Estate
Residents were dismayed to find that crews were clear cutting trees at 19 Woodland Place on Saturday May 11. Neighbors called the Scarsdale Police Department who determined that the workmen did not have a permit and ordered the crew to stop the tree removal.
However, disobeying SPD orders and without seeking a permit, the logging crew continued operations on Monday May 13. On Tuesday May 14, eight large trees were removed. No permit was issued and tree removal was completed on Tuesday May 14.
Village Code Enforcement Officer Douglas Schur inspected the property on May 14 after all the trees had been removed. He charged the developer with a code violation-- tree removal without a permit--and issued a summons for appearance in Village Court. Earlier this year, a neighbor caught the owner digging up a leaking fuel oil tank near the property line without seeking a permit or obtaining required environmental review, testing, and remediation.
