Formal Plans Filed for 14-Home Subdivision at 831 Route 35

The developer has now formally submitted plans to the Town of Lewisboro for the subdivision of the nearly 15-acre property at 831 Route 35 in Cross River, historically known as the Reynolds property.

The proposal calls for 14 homes in a gated development in the center of Cross River, along one of the most congested sections of Route 35 and in an environmentally sensitive area near the Cross River and adjacent to the Ward Pound Ridge Reservation.

The Lewisboro Planning Board is scheduled to review the application on:

Tuesday, July 21, 2026, at 7:30 p.m.
79 Bouton Road, South Salem

Residents are encouraged to attend and observe the Planning Board’s review.

You can view the proposed site layout here.

• Route 35 runs along the bottom of the map.

• The proposed entrance to the gated development would be on Mark Mead Road.

• The plans indicate that most of the existing trees on the property would be removed to accommodate the homes, internal roadway, septic systems, grading and other site work.

The complete plans and supporting documents have been posted on the Documents page of this website.

Issues that warrant careful review include the proposed density, traffic and safety on Route 35 and Mark Mead Road, tree removal, stormwater and drainage, effects on the Cross River, wells and septic systems, proximity to protected open space, and the impact on the character of Cross River.

Planning Board meetings do not provide an opportunity for general public comment. Residents may, however, email the Planning Board in advance with concerns, questions or issues they believe should be examined during the review.
