Six parcels ranging in size from 11 to 76 acres identified in the Town of Greenburgh Open Space Comprehensive Plan (June 2003) are analyzed for their potential for cluster-type development. The six sites were selected based on their likelihood for development, location in a variety of areas throughout the Town, and range of development issues presented for analysis. The analysis examines land use and environmental characteristics of the sites and compares conventional subdivision development of the sites to cluster development of the sites. The analysis may be used by the Town to consider alternative development patterns for certain sites to preserve larger areas of open space than would be possible under conventional subdivision development.       Community Development and Conservation Forms           Building Quality Communities Around transit - Technical Assistance Program This is the "Briefing Book" that was handed out at the two day workshop on Transit Oriented Development.           Road Deicing and Ornamental Plants       Comprehensive Plan           Addendum to Comprehensive Plan - Cover Page & Tabl           COMPREHENSIVE PLAN Draft Comprehensive Plan for the Town of Greenburgh           CP - Addendum to Comprehensive Plan Addendum to the Comprehensive Plan, including Appendix A, Draft Local Laws (steep slopes, wetlands, density calculations, floor area ratio, historic preservation)       Grass Recycling Informational Brochure This informational brochure put together by the NYSDEC provides useful information including: (1) Lawn Care Waste Reduction Tips; (2) Why you should leave grass clippings on the lawn, including a "How to"; (4) Common Questions; (5) Other Useful Lawn Information; and, (6) Information on Composting Yard Debris.
