WPCNR The Zoning Zone. From a WPCNR Correspondent. July 3, 2008: The Zoning Board of Appeals heard about twenty persons speaking out against the assisted living complex proposed to be built in Scarsdale by Renamba LLC, with access from White Plains (with White Plains water, sewer, and electricial connections),  through the driveway of the Westchester Ethical Culture Society. The project, if built, would destroy a vast area of the "woods" of Saxon Woods to the south of Saxon Woods Road.

 All but one of the residents were opposed to the project which had been denied by the White Plains Building Commissioner. The project was originally proposed in 2002. The developer now seeks a variance or Special Permit use from the ZBA. The Corporation Counsel, Edward Dunphy said not all comments had been turned in as yet from the various boards and commissioners in the city. The Zoning Board continued the  hearing until September 3, at which time it indicated it would take a vote on the project.
