Prolonged environmental review could end soon for Mamaroneck resi project

The environmental review process for a proposed development in Mamaroneck may finally wrap up after nearly four years, the Daily Voice Plus reported. Hampshire Recreation wants to build 105 residential units — including 64 carriage homes — on 29 acres at the Hampshire Country Club, according to the outlet. The proposal would reduce the club’s 18-hole golf course to nine holes. The review process started in 2015, but has yet to be completed due to concerns about the effects the development might have on flooding in the area. David Cooper, an attorney for Hampshire at Zarin & Steinmetz in White Plains, maintained in an April letter that his client has addressed all of the Mamaroneck’s Planning Board’s concerns about the project. “We are hopeful, cautiously optimistic, that this is the last round,” he told the DVP. “We believe the board already has all of the facts that it needs to render a decision.” [DVP]
