19 Leatherstocking Lane Though the idea of offering tax relief to the hardest hit residents from the 2016 revaluation seemed like a positive step, after hearing no support for the move the Scarsdale BOT voted unanimously against the resolution.

The resolution would have requested that legislation be introduced into the NYS Assembly and NYS Senate to allow residents who are STAR eligible (earn less than $500,000 a year) and received greater than a 25% tax increase to phase in their increase over three years. The loss in revenue from those residents would be made up in tax increases to the balance of Scarsdale taxpayers.

Deputy Village Manager Robert Cole estimated that at most, 130 residents would qualify for the relief, and this number might be further decreased by those who had their assessments reduced by the Board of Assessment Review this summer.

A special meeting of the Town Board of Scarsdale was held on Tuesday October 25, following the regular meeting of the Board of Trustees to consider the resolution to authorize the "Phase-In (of) Certain 2016 Residential Real Property Assessment Increases.

Mayor Mark gave each of the trustees an opportunity to state their view and they all concurred. Trustee Carl Finger called the resolution a "Well meant concept," and said though he was "sensitive to the impact to increasing taxes on a number of residents in the community," he had "not heard anyone favorably disposed to it. No one who would benefit has come forward." Therefore he said, "I find it difficult to adopt something that is not supported by the community."

Trustee Pekarek agreed with Finger, saying, "While it is humane and would supply relief, we didn't hear from anyone who would benefit. It would take significant effort. I would rather work on reforming the way properties are assessed."

Marc Samwick said, "The reval was intended to achieve equity. Similar legislation has enabled people in other towns to remain in their homes. Earlier in the summer we heard about similar hardships and this was designed to ease the burden for certain residents. But based on lack of community interest, I intend to vote against it but would reconsider it if community interest was expressed."

Jane Veron said, "When I first learned about this I was eager to explore it for Scarsdale.... especially because some felt forced to leave Scarsdale. But I have only heard negative comments. Residents were overwhelmingly not in favor. Given the lack of support I do not feel comfortable asking others to assume the additional tax burden."

Matt Callaghan said that this legislation would be perceived as an inequity. He said, "We have already raised certain people's taxes," and this "will cause taxes for others to go up. I am voting nay."

Trustee Stern agreed and Mayor Mark put the matter to rest, saying, "For all the reasons I have heard I am not in favor of this."

theheathcote After a delay of several months, construction is now moving forward at The Heathcote, the new 14-unit 43,000 square foot residential development at the Five Corners in Scarsdale. John Malabre of the New York City-based construction management firm REDCOM CM is taking over as the new builder, with the development team of Steve Oder and Andrew and Fred Fish of 2-4 Weaver Street Owner Corp. as project developers.

Malabre brings more than 30 years of construction experience, including Manhattan projects such as The Lipstick Building, the expansion of the Grand Central PO, the construction of several SoHo and Tribeca lofts, renovations on Upper East Side townhouses, and managing the conversion of the Stanhope Hotel into condominiums with Extell Development. Additional projects have included 834 Fifth Avenue, The San Remo and The Beresford, as well as projects in the Hamptons. Current REDCOM CM projects in Manhattan and Brooklyn include $85 million in commercial developments as well as $25 million in hotels and Upper East Side condos.

Malabre commented that a great deal of progress has already been made on the Heathcote. "The steel work is complete, and we expect the model unit, lobby and the Weaver Street exterior elevation to be completed by year end," he said. "The project will be completed by summer of 2017."

Built on the site of the former Heathcote Tavern, the new residential construction project is the first of its kind in Scarsdale in over 60 years. Featuring large two- and three-bedroom apartments the building will have no age restrictions, offers access to Scarsdale schools and is pet friendly. Buyers will have the opportunity to incorporate their own design tastes and give input into choice of stone, kitchen and bath cabinetry, floor styles, lighting and millwork. Each unit will feature architectural details, bright expansive rooms with high ceilings, gas fireplaces and outdoor terraces. Buyers can choose from many optional upgrades such as "smart home" automation units, a multimedia home theater set up, paneled libraries, motorized shades, wine rooms as well as fully equipped outdoor kitchens in the penthouse apartments.

"We are excited to welcome John Malabre and REDCOM CM to this highly anticipated project, and have every confidence that the company's vast experience in multi-residential luxury development makes them the perfect addition to the team," said Dawn Knief.

Dawn Knief and Mary Katchis of Julia B. Fee Sotheby's International Realty's Scarsdale brokerage are representing the listings for sale, and are currently accepting reservations for private appointments to view the plans and options for customization.
