ADDRESSES: All interested agencies,

submit written comments on the withinnamed project and the Draft EIR/EIS to:

Lee Ellman, Planning Director,

Department of Planning and

Development, City of Yonkers, 87

Comments pertaining to the proposed

project should be received by the person

and office named above within 15 days

of the publication of this notice in order

for all comments to be considered in the

preparation of the Draft EIR/EIS.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The City

of Yonkers, acting on behalf of the U.S.

Department of Housing and Urban

Development will prepare an EIR/EIS to

analyze the potential impacts of

developing a 4.6 acre property, located

on the west side of Warburton Avenue,

north of Odell Avenue. The proposed

project would include 524 units of

housing with a 2-building rental

apartment complex. It is proposed that

58, studio, one and two bedroom

affordable units will be mixed with

market rate units.

Amenities of the complex are to

include a fitness center, swimming pool,

a club room and enclosed parking for

use by residents. The entire building is

expected to be 597,380 square feet in

size with 705 parking spaces.

A 0.91 acre portion is wetland. On

site mitigation is expected to retain a

portion of the wetland. Off site

mitigation will create additional

wetland areas. Both of these actions will

be subject to approval by the Army

Corps of Engineers under application

number 1999–10770–YN.

The project is expected to take

advantage of 80/20 Program tax exempt

financing and federal tax credits to

offset the loss of revenue from the

affordable housing units.

Need for the EIS

It has been determined that the

project may constitute an action

significantly affecting the quality of the

human environment and an

Environmental Impact Report/

Environmental Impact Statement will be

prepared by the City of Yonkers in

accordance with the National

Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (Pub.

L. 91–190) on such project.

Responses to this notice will be used

to:

1. Determine significant

environmental issues

2. Identify data which the EIS/EIR

should address, and,

3. Identify agencies and other parties

which will participate in the EIR/EIS

process and the basis for their

involvement.

regulations of Housing and Urban

Development under its rule (HUD Title

24, Part 58, Subpart G, Section 58.55)

and of the Council on Environmental

Quality under its rule (40 CFR part

1500–1508).

Scoping

This notice is part of the process used

for scoping the EIR/EIS. Responses will

help determine the significant

environmental issues, identify data

which the EIR/EIS should address, and

help identify cooperating agencies.

A scoping session to determine the

issues of the Draft EIR/EIS was opened

on March 23, 2000. The closing of the

scoping session will not be less than

fifteen (15) days after the publication of

this notice.

on file, and available for public

inspection, at the address listed above.

Copies may also be obtained upon

request at the same address.

This notice shall be in effect for one

project, then the Notice for that project

shall be cancelled. If the Draft EIS is

expected more than one year after the

publication of this Notice, a new

updated Notice shall be published.

Dated: May 5, 2000.
