APPLICATION: Subdivision 4-2012 – Sketch Plan Review
APPLICANT: DKC Holdings
REQUESTED ACTION: Subdivision of land
LOCATION: Luzerne Road
EXISTING ZONING: Commercial Light Industrial
SEQRA STATUS: N/A at Sketch Plan Review
PARCEL HISTORY: SP 5-12: Construction Company/Material storage Pending
SB 18-05 Two lot subdivision Approved 11/15/05
SP 10-04 Storage facility Approved 3/30/04
PROJECT DESCRIPTION: Applicant proposes subdivision of a 26.7 parcel into 3 lots of 3.52, 3.95 &
7.74 respectively within the CLI zone with the remaining 11.49 acres
zoned MDR to be merged with parcel to the west owned by the applicant.
Subdivision of land requires Planning Board review and approval.
STAFF COMMENTS: The subdivision, as planned, will require a Road Frontage variance from the Zoning
Board of Appeals for Lot 3. The applicant will need to inquire with the Highway Department on any plans to
extend West Drive by that department. All three lots are adjacent to MDR zoned lands and a 50 foot Type C
buffer may be required when those lands are developed.
