Board Report
11/6/24
Building Department
A proposal has been received for 2 mixed use/apartment buildings at South Tyson/Van Siclen and Jericho Turnpike. The proposal at this time is at the conceptual stage only. The Northend Civic Association meeting allowed the owners to informally propose the idea to the public and receive feedback, prior to developing the detailed proposal. No formal plans have been submitted yet to the Village and there have been no formal public hearings. A project of this magnitude will need to go through many public hearings before the first shovel hits the ground. This will go step by step through the Zoning Board, Architectural Review Board, Village Board, Fire Marhsall’s Office, Nassau County Planning Commission and the SEQRA process to name a few. We will keep the residents up to date as the process moves forward.
Construction is ongoing at the apartment building at 1 Carnation Avenue, the proposed restaurant at 99 Covert Avenue, and the re-construction of 266 Jericho Turnpike. These projects are moving forward well and expected to be completed in the next 6-12 months. Construction has begun at the Covert Avenue fire property. Shoring and foundation is ongoing and will take about a month. Overall construction is expected to take about a year. Permits are being issued for repairs and renovations at 212 Jericho Turnpike, the old Firestone building. ARB has recently approved a new storefront as well for that property.
As a reminder, all fences, driveways, and front walkways/stoops require a permit prior to installation to ensure compliance with the zoning codes. Please check the Building Department website for a full list of requirements and permit applications. Construction equipment, including power washers and leaf blowers are not permitted to be operated on Sundays and Holidays.
