Brewster Redevelopment On Trustees' Agenda Wednesday

BREWSTER, NY — Brewster village trustees will discuss the redevelopment proposal for the southeast side of Main Street at their meeting Wednesday. An idea for 208 Main St. will be discussed as well.

Sun Homes Development will present the concept for the southeast side of Main Street, east of Marvin Avenue to the river, plus the developer's idea for 208 Main St.

The Board of Trustees starts its regular meeting at 7:30 p.m. Aug. 1 at Village Hall, 50 Main St.

The June 6 minutes have the preliminary Sun Homes presentation recorded plus renderings. At that meeting, Bill McGuinness of Sun Homes displayed a conceptual drawing showing development at the east end of Main Street on the south side with garden apartments, for-sale rowhomes, a linear park, shop fronts, offices, with apartments above on Main Street.

The development would be bounded by Marvin Avenue on the west and extending east and south toward the river within the bounds of private parcels that can be accumulated for purchase and development of this project.

There is also an opportunity to transform 208 Main St. into riverfront loft condos should village officials want to move to consolidate operations elsewhere.

The Board of Trustees will consider whether the proposed construction and alterations are consistent with the
Master Plan and do not compromise the objectives of the Urban Renewal Plan. If so, the applicant would be able to pursue the project through the normal channels starting with the Code Enforcement department.
