Planning Board Reviews Proposed 36 Unit Apartment Building at Vineyard Avenue

A proposed six-foot vinyl fence is set to be installed on the northern and eastern sides of a property in Yonkers, as discussed during the City Planning Board meeting on June 11, 2025. The fence, which will be white, is part of a broader site plan that includes a 36-unit multi-family apartment building at 105 Vineyard Avenue.

During the meeting, board members raised questions about the fence's placement and color, particularly in relation to existing neighboring fences. The applicant confirmed that the new fence would run along the northern length of the property and terminate past the house, with existing neighbor fences already flagged for reference. The discussion highlighted the importance of ensuring that the new fence complements the surrounding area, with suggestions made to consider a black color to match a neighboring fence.

Additionally, it was noted that the project would require approval from the Landmarks Board due to the proposed modifications. The applicant expressed optimism about moving forward, indicating that they would address public comments and planning department feedback before the next meeting.

As the meeting concluded, the board encouraged attendees to submit any further comments or questions online, ensuring community engagement in the planning process. The next steps for the project will involve resubmitting plans and continuing discussions with city staff to facilitate progress.
