Crisp Sound Breezes and Free Library Crafts Today
Sea Cliff, NY · September 15, 2026
Crisp coastal air and bright sunshine kick off Tuesday, just as village hall digs into new bluff-side development plans. Take that morning walk along the sound before the afternoon calendar fills up.
The Lead
The future of the North Shore Country Club property moved from quiet speculation to official village business this week. Toll Brothers has formally submitted a petition to Sea Cliff seeking a property-specific planned unit development to construct 27 single-family homes across the 73 acres that fall within the village’s residential boundary.
Because the historic parcel represents one of the largest contiguous open green spaces along the village perimeter, residents are watching density and environmental protections closely. Village Attorney Brian Stolar is currently reviewing the petition for legal sufficiency. Once that compliance check wraps up, the Board of Trustees will determine whether the current site plan can proceed to formal public review or if the developer must first head back to the drawing board.
