Project Description
The Applicant, Craig Fine, seeks a zoning authorization pursuant to ZR 105-422 (Authorization of a development, enlargement or site alteration on a Tier II site or portion of a zoning lot having a steep slope or steep slope buffer), ZR 105-431 (Modification of lot coverage controls), and ZR 105-434 (Modification of requirements for private roads and driveways). A 'Tier II site' is a zoning lot or other tract of land having an average percent of slope equal to or greater than 10 percent. These actions are referred to in this EAS as the Proposed Actions. The Proposed Actions would facilitate the development on Block 2284, Lot 34, located in the Lighthouse Hill neighborhood of Staten Island Community District 2. The Proposed Actions would affect an area that is bound by Nugent Street to the north and St. George Road to the south. The area described above is referred to as the Project Area. The Project Area is located within the Special Natural Area District, which guides new development and site alterations in areas endowed with unique natural characteristics, including forests, rock outcrops, steep slopes, creeks and a variety of botanic and aquatic environments. With the approval of the Proposed Actions, the Applicant intends to subdivide Lot 34 into Lots 33, 34, and 35, and develop a one-family dwelling on each of these lots. Lots 33 and 35 would each contain a 2-story, 25-foot-tall, 3,525 gsf one-family dwelling and Lot 34 would contain a 2-story, 25-foot-tall 3,900 gsf one-family dwelling. The development is referred to in this EAS as the Proposed Development.
