2. Approval of Minutes
2.1. Minutes of May 19, 2025
The minutes of the May 19, 2025 meeting were approved as submitted.
3. Referrals
3.1. 2 Douglas Lane - Residential Addition
Nicholas Shirriah, consulting engineer, presented the proposal to add a second floor
addition to the single-family home at 2 Douglas Lane, Larchmont. The home is
located on Monroe Inlet, prompting a referral to the Coastal Zone Management
Commission by the Village of Larchmont Planning Board. According to Mr. Shirriah,
there will be no land disturbance on the property: no changes to the footprint of the
home, additions or removals of hardscape, and no excavation.
CZMC found the proposed action to be consistent with the policies in the Local
Waterfront Revitalization Program. It was recommended and the engineer agreed to
install a silt fence between the house and the waterfront to prevent any construction
debris from entering the water and prevent any incidental ground disturbance beyond
the work zone.
3.2. 59 Myrtle Blvd.- Residential Site Plan Approval
Mike Charitou and Andrew Zimmerman presented the proposal to reconstruct most of
the existing single-family home at 59 Myrtle Boulevard. The proposal will include the
removal of the existing detached garage and the shortening of the driveway, resulting

in a slight decrease in the amount of impervious surface on the site. A new
stormwater management system will be installed (none currently exists) and will
decrease the amount of stormwater runoff from the site. The applicant will have an
arborist evaluate one of the trees along the driveway that will require pruning or
possible removal as it has signs of insect damage and decay at its base. Multiple
evergreen trees are proposed for the rear yard along with foundation plantings and
screening for the proposed generator and AC units.
CZMC found the proposed action to be consistent with the policies in the Local
Waterfront Revitalization Program.
3.3. Propel NY Energy
Representatives from Propel NY Energy, NY Power Authority, WSP Engineering and
the NYS Dept. of State attended the meeting to provide an update on the project and
to discuss the next steps, specifically local consistency review. They last appeared
before CZMC in April 2024 for review of their surveying and sampling activities.
The portion of the proposed project within the boundaries of our Local Waterfront
Revitalization Program are to include 4 submarine power cables, to be located in 4
trenches, over a distance of 2.6 miles, buried 6-feet deep in the sediment of the Long
Island Sound. The cables will originate at the Shore Road Substation in Nassau
County, Long Island and Terminate in New Rochelle at a proposed Transition Station.
The NYS DOS will send CZMC all of the documents to review and in a month, we will
invite the Propel NY team back to a meeting and continue the discussion.
4. Old Business
No Old Business to discuss.
5. New Business
Local Resident, Doug Bloom attended the meeting to express his disappointment with the
approval of both the apartment building at 1299 Boston Post Road and the new pool at 8
Pheasant Run by the Town of Mamaroneck planning Board. He believes that CZMC and
Town Planning Board did not follow Local Waterfront Revitalization Program policies in
making our findings of consistency with both projects. His opinion was echoed by CZMC
Member Kristin Andersen who also believes that the Alma turf field in Flint Park should have
been found to be inconsistent.
6. Next Meeting:
The next CZMC meeting will be held on July 28, 2025 at 7:30 PM in Conference Room D.
