PUBLIC HEARINGS: 17 Public Hearing #1 18 A motion to open the Public Hearing on Local Law Introductory No. 10 of 19 2026 to amend Chapter 230, Zoning, of the Village Code to update provisions 20 related to domestic animals and farm animals was made by Trustee Simon. 21 Motion was seconded by Trustee Nicholson and approved with a 4-0 vote. 22 Trustee Simon recused himself from the discussion and voting on the 23 resolution. 24 Trustee Simon made the following statement regarding Local Law 25 Introductory No. 10 of 2026 to amend Chapter 230, Zoning, of the Village 26 Code to update provisions related to domestic animals and farm animals as 27 follows: 28 Mayor Pugh Trustee Simon Village Manager Bryan Healy Trustee Nachtaler Village Attorney Lori Lee Dickson Trustee Nicholson Village Treasurer Genette Toone Trustee Slippen Village Board of Trustees September 2, 2026 “the Village Board has worked hard on Local Law Introductory No. 10, the 1 purpose of which is to amend our zoning provisions on Domestic Animals and 2 Farm Animals, If anyone had told us one year ago that in 2026 we would be 3 spending a substantial amount of time on this topic, we likely would not have 4 believed them, but things change and events cause that change to occur and 5 a number of developments in the Village made it clear that our existing zoning 6 provisions regarding animals and fowl were insufficient, with the help of our 7 Manager, Attorney, Planner and Engineer, the Board has made a sincere effort 8 to craft legislative language to address the inadequacies of our existing code, 9 it is not perfect and we are not finished. Trustee Simon referred to 10 Congressional giant John Dingell who spent over 59 years in the House of 11 Representatives, who would say, “nothing is agreed to until everything is 12 agreed to and you guys need to go to work”. That was good advice then and 13 it’s good advice today, as we’ve seen in recent weeks, there is a significant 14 divide within the community on a number of issues related to the current draft 15 of Local Law Introductory #10, the job of the Board of Trustees in the weeks 16 ahead is to continue to work hard on this bill, but do so in a way that bridges 17 that divide, some have said that as we go forward with our work, that I should 18 recuse myself from further involvement in the drafting of Local Law 19 Introductory No. 10 because I live next door to a family that now lives next 20 door to a flock of racing pigeons, I appreciate suggestions that I recuse myself, 21 in fact before a single letter was ever written, or any other communication on 22 that issue, I raised the question myself back in May when we first began 23 considering these issues and I was told then by our Village Attorney, Mr. 24 Subin, at the time, that it was not necessary for me to do so, however, I did 25 subsequently recuse myself from a Zoning Board advice of Counsel session, 26 again relying on our Village Attorney who felt it was appropriate in that 27 instance, since the Zoning Board was dealing with a specific interpretation of 28 the Zoning Code impacting two homes, soon after this hearing date was 29 established and we received specific questions on recusal, I have been guided 30 by our Village Attorney, that anytime I feel that I cannot be objective as we 31 go forward, I should recuse myself. Today, I feel as objective as I’ve always 32 been on the issues surrounding Local Law Introductory No. 10, my goal in this 33 and other legislative endeavors is to get to where House Speaker Tip O’Neil 34 always advised us to do: “The most-good for the most- people”, when I see a 35 problem, or one is presented to me, I don’t measure the distance of that 36 problem from my house. I just try to find a solution, that is how I approached 37 all of our work here in Croton since I joined the Board, I believe all of my 38 colleagues do the same, I never want to look at a neighbor who feels distressed 39 Village Board of Trustees September 2, 2026 by Village law, or a legislative draft and say, “sorry, I can’t help you – you live 1 too close to me!”, this work is too important to be put at risk by any distractions 2 and I have great faith in the talent and abilities of my four colleagues, assisted 3 by the Manager, our Planner, our Engineer and our Attorney to devise a final 4 version of Local Law Introductory No. 10 that meets Speaker O’Neil’s standard: 5 “the most good for the most people”, so to remove any potential distractions 6 I am recusing myself from any further involvement with Local Law introductory 7 No. 10.” 8 Public Comments: 9 Debi Braddick, 23 Young Avenue, Croton on Hudson, stated that her husband's 10 father who lived in Croton had homing pigeons for years and it wasn't a 11 problem and it would be detrimental not to continue that legacy for someone 12 else, this person specifically purchased their home after they were told that 13 they could keep pigeons in their backyard and we need to gracefully meet 14 again and discuss this further. 15 Allison Rosen, Old Post Road North, Croton on Hudson, thanked the Board and 16 Manager for considering protecting our neighbors and Village by banning 17 pigeons without grandfathering as many municipalities have done. Ms. Rosen 18 stated that she is among seven of the eight closest households on the same 19 block as the pigeon operation and explained the havoc caused by this flock on 20 their property and quality of life, the pigeons perch for upwards of a couple 21 hours on her roof, garden beds and outdoor spaces, it is unreasonable to allow 22 any neighbor's animal to occupy other people's properties, there are health 23 issues, quality of life issue and financial impacts which include defecation on 24 their houses, cars, lawns, driveways, patios and furniture, even with controlled 25 breeding a flock of 24 pigeons can easily multiply to 120 in just one year 26 according to the NIH and it is easy to see how quickly this becomes impossible 27 to manage and regulate, there is not enough space or distance from neighbors 28 for this type of operation and there is no realistic way to prevent these animals 29 from congregating on and damaging neighboring properties, homing pigeons 30 can attract more invasive wild pigeons and doves to our neighborhood pushing 31 out other bird species and urged the Board to adopt a pigeon band without 32 grandfathering. 33 Erica Laudon Corwin, Penfield Avenue, Croton, stated that not all birds are 34 considered fowl, while “bird” applies to any feathered warm blooded 35 vertebrate, the entire scientific class is a much narrower term used in both 36 Village Board of Trustees September 2, 2026 biology and because pigeons are often not defined as fowl in standard 1 municipal dictionaries, communities often regulate them under general public 2 nuisance ordinances such as noise, odor, property damage, acid waste, 3 livestock animal limits or specific building codes for outdoor structures and 4 lofts. 5 Nicole Shapiro, Old Post Road North, Croton on Hudson, stated that pigeons 6 maintained by Tony Vukaj are a managed flock, the coop is set back from the 7 neighboring property lines and is a substantial distance from other houses, 8 there was no offensive smell, we saw no rats, no droppings outside the coop 9 and nothing that struck us as dirty or unsanitary, these are tagged racing 10 pigeons that are bred and trained to return to their home, the birds are 11 vaccinated and are being cared for, she would like to see the evidence that 12 anyone has incurred pest control expenses, contracted any illness associated 13 with the pigeons, and damage to their property, Croton should not be banning 14 an activity throughout the entire village based primarily on a hypothetical and 15 generally unwarranted concerns 16 Andrea Furey, 1 Morningside Drive, Croton on Hudson, stressed the 17 importance of pets in people's lives. 18 Jean Klurfeld, Truesdale Drive, stated that pigeons do not carry diseases, from 19 an Ornithological point of view, pigeons do not pose a unique threat of illness 20 compared to any other species of bird, they are not dirty or carry illnesses if 21 they are well kept, it is an unfortunate that we associate pigeons with cities 22 and metropolitan areas where they are sequestered to eating garbage, and 23 would like to quench this rumor that pigeons are somehow dirtier or carry 24 illnesses, and she is more concerned that something which seems to be 25 inconvenient to a few people is now going to limit the freedom for others. 26 Elio Mita, President of the New Rochelle Homing Pigeon Club, advised that the 27 club was established in 1943, and emphasized that we take care of our pigeons 28 like we take care of our babies, our pigeons are banded and tested and assured 29 everyone that there is nothing cleaner than these pigeon coops. 30 Jennifer Pauly, 146 Old Post Road, Croton on Hudson, emphasized that Mr. 31 Vukaj moved into his home because he was told he could keep pigeons, and 32 received Village approval before he built his coop; he has followed all the rules, 33 received the necessary permits, built the coop, moved his pigeons into the 34 coop and to tell him now that his approximately 20 pigeons have to go is 35 outrageously unfair and unjust. Ms. Pauly stated that she believes her 36 Village Board of Trustees September 2, 2026 property is closest to Mr. Vukaj’s property, she rarely sees the pigeons unless 1 she walks near the coop which is where they seem to spend the vast majority 2 of their time, when she has seen them flying, they do a few swoops over her 3 house then they return to their coop, their sound is a very muted gentle cooing, 4 the coop is very clean, there is no odor coming from it and as a cursory look 5 at public health literature, it will confirm there is no public health hazard from 6 domestic pigeons. 7 Jim Miller, 18 Wolf Road, Croton on Hudson, stated that he has a couple of 8 bird feeders hanging from his tree and there was a flock of perhaps one 9 hundred birds on his front lawn, nothing unusual, the feeders are there for 10 them to eat, they come, they flew across the street, half of them landing on 11 my neighbor's roof the other half landing in the tree next to his house and he 12 is concerned that the Village will consider banning bird feeders because 13 whatever dangers you feel arise from a pigeon coop the same dangers could 14 arise from bird feeders. 15 Gary Eisinger, 210 Cleveland Drive, Croton on Hudson, stated that it was a few 16 years ago when many of us in the village had been accused of nimbyism, 17 because some neighbors argued against ADU’s being allowed on the smallest 18 lots in croton, built right up to and looming over long-standing property 19 setback requirements, the term was also used against Wayne Street neighbors 20 who were against the development on Croton Point Avenue because it would 21 block their river views and were written off as nimbus obstructionists, it is now 22 being used for those neighbors who are concerned about the 425 S Riverside 23 Avenue project because of its steep slope, but he now finds it quite amusing 24 that one of our Trustees has now apparently reached his own NIMBY moment 25 with regards to pigeon coops and asked Trustee Simon to please consider 26 joining the Voice of Croton. 27 Doug Simmons, Finney Farm Road, Croton on Hudson, stated that he is here 28 this evening to advocate for his neighbor Tony Vukaj being able to keep his 29 pigeons, he moved here because he was told he could keep pigeons, and 30 comments made that excrement and feed attract rats is a gross exaggeration, 31 Tony’s pigeon coop is immaculate and anyone with a bird feeder knows that 32 seed has to be properly stored or rats will become a problem, this harassment 33 is abusive and needs to stop and asked the Board to reject a total ban and 34 grandfather existing keepers and protect the rights of responsible pet owners. 35 Village Board of Trustees September 2, 2026 Peter Panzica, 110 Old Post Road, Croton on Hudson, stated that some 1 neighbors testified tonight that the pigeons don't bother them, but pictures 2 don't lie, they perch on houses and he is sure there's poop on the houses as 3 well, and with windows open he is sure there's cooing and that becomes 4 annoying after a while, dogs are legal but if a dog went into your front lawn 5 and torpedo your flowers, barked incessantly or pooped on your property, I 6 am sure the Police would be called, and hopes that the neighbors who are 7 inconvenienced by this will be given the same consideration, he can 8 understand chickens because they are contained in an area, they don't fly 9 around and as a physician, toxoplasmosis and histoplasmosis are real diseases 10 that people do get. 11 Carry Andrews, 20 Hunter Street, Croton on Hudson, stated that she supports 12 Tony being able to have his pigeons, feral pigeons have been in Croton for 13 years and does not think that these pigeons are an issue and believes the risk 14 of illnesses are extremely rare, it is also unfair because he received a permit 15 from the Village and moved here because he thought he could have his pigeons 16 and then all of a sudden we're like pulling the wool from under him. 17 Tony Vukaj, 148 Old Post Road North, Croton on Hudson, thanked everyone 18 who spoke in support of him being able to keep his pigeons, he heard a lot of 19 concerns tonight, there are 380 different species of birds and none of them are 20 being vaccinated, his pigeons are vaccinated, their water is cleaned every day, 21 he feeds them only what they need to eat and does not leave feed in the 22 feeder, he keeps everything secured and there is no way their food could 23 attract mice or rats, when the young pigeons come out of the coop their wings 24 are not strong enough to fly up in the air, so they fly around to scan the 25 property to get used to the area then they won't be doing that anymore. 26 Ed Riely, 110 Truesdale Drive, Croton on Hudson, stated that we had a very 27 serious issue with pigeons in the past that had created an incredible mess, 28 neighbors had to hire people with pellet guns and BB guns to shoot them off 29 their homes because you would have this phosphorescent white streaking 30 down the sides of homes and they were dirty and they were filthy and is not 31 sure how Croton got rid of them, but if these pigeons bother the neighbors and 32 create filth in neighbor's homes, then there is an issue, but if we can regulate 33 the number and guarantee they will not bother the neighbors, it should be 34 grandfathered. 35 Village Board of Trustees September 2, 2026 Matt Angelini, Cleveland Drive, Croton on Hudson, stated that when we are 1 talking about diseases that are spread by pigeons, the CDC cites that those 2 diseases are something like one in 100,000 cases but if you are talking about 3 Lyme's disease you're talking about two hundred times that amount, so if we 4 are talking about public health as being one of the reasons for putting this local 5 law into effect, we should also be comparing the effects of deer in the Village, 6 he also believes that changing the setbacks for pigeon and chicken coops from 7 fifteen feet to fifty feet is a massive change and would ban most in the R9 and 8 R5 districts from being able to put a coop anywhere on their property. 9 Nora Regis Odland, Van Wyck Street, Croton on Hudson, stated that if dogs 10 were constantly going into a neighbor's yard, the Village would probably not 11 ban dogs so we must find a better way to deal with neighbor’s issues, a ban is 12 a really big reaction because of a neighbor’s dispute. 13 Nigel Ravelo, 167 North Riverside, Croton on Hudson, stated that he is one of 14 the seven neighbors that are closest to Mr. Vukaj’s pigeon coop, he started 15 noticing poop on his steps and now he has to carry his dog when taking him 16 out, he has seen pigeons on top of his car and cannot park his car underneath 17 the trees in front of his house because pigeons are in the trees, he has lived 18 here for many years and has never seen pigeons in his trees, flower beds, on 19 top of his car as well as pigeon poop going up his steps and on his driveway 20 and deck, he can only be adamant about what's happening on his property 21 now and he is thinking in the broad aspect of what might happen within our 22 village if we allow this, even if there is a 1% chance of someone getting sick, 23 or a 1% chance of damage to your property, he is asking for a ban and not 24 grandfather existing coops. 25 There being no further comments to come before the Board, a motion to close 26 the Public Hearing was made by Trustee Nachtaler. Motion was seconded by 27 Trustee Slippen and approved with a 4-0 vote. Trustee Simon recused himself 28 from voting). 29 To view e-mails regarding Local Law Introductory No. 10 of 2026 to amend 30 Chapter 230, Zoning, of the Village Code to update provisions related to 31 domestic animals and farm animals, you may click on the following links: 32 To view written comments received via email on August 19, 2026, you may 33 click on the following link: 34 https://play.champds.com/ATT/crotononhudsonny/2026- 35 08/3a03539f351762eca7707ff2a8de47e232ac6065.pdf 36 Village Board of Trustees September 2, 2026 1 To view written comments received via email on August 31, 2026, you may 2 click on the following link: 3 https://play.champds.com/ATT/crotononhudsonny/2026- 4 08/9a94bddc374cebb1c2dc9b62f077413a86e20ad8.pdf 5 6 To view written comments received via email on September 2, 2026, you 7 may click on the following link: 8 https://play.champds.com/ATT/crotononhudsonny/2026- 9 09/77f2962a1c0898638f3f2732fa095400af0fa0e7.pdf 10 11 Public Hearing #2 12 13 A motion to open the Public Hearing on Local Law Introductory No. 11 of 14 2026 to amend Chapter 204, Taxation, of the Village Code to update the limits 15 for the senior citizen rental income exemption and disabled persons rental 16 income exemption was made by Trustee Nachtaler. Motion was seconded by 17 Trustee Slippen and approved with a 5-0 vote. 18 Village Manager Healy advised that this law applies to properties that are 19 already covered under the Emergency Tenant Protection Act and there are 20 currently five properties under that program, our existing Village code already 21 has this provision (Chapter 204-30b) that provides for the automatic 22 adjustment of the limits based on the action of the State Legislature and this 23 is really a housekeeping item to update our code. 24 There being no comments to come before the Board, a motion to close the 25 Public Hearing was made by Trustee Nicholson. Motion was seconded by 26 Trustee Slippen and approved with a 5-0 vote. 27 Resolution #199-2026 28 On motion of TRUSTEE SIMON, seconded by TRUSTEE NICHOLSON, the following 29 resolution was adopted by the Board of Trustees of the Village of Croton-on-Hudson, 30 New York with a 5-0 vote. 31 WHEREAS, the New York State Budget for 2026-2027 included legislation that 32 increased the income limits for the senior citizen rental income exemption and 33 disabled persons rental income exemption programs from $50,000 to $75,000; and 34 WHEREAS, these changes were discussed at a work session held on July 22, 2026; 35 and 36 Village Board of Trustees September 2, 2026 WHEREAS, Local Law Introductory No. 11 of 2026 has been drafted to increase the 1 statutory limits in the Village Code; and 2 WHEREAS, a Public Hearing was opened and closed on September 2, 2026, 3 NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED: that the Village Board of Trustees hereby adopts 4 Local Law Introductory No. 11 of 2026 to amend Chapter 204, Taxation, of the Village 5 Code to update the limits for the senior citizen rental income exemption and disabled 6 persons rental income exemption programs, which upon adoption becomes Local Law 7 No. 10 of 2026. 8 DISCUSSION: 9 Trustee Nicholson stated that this is a significant increase for those that may be 10 eligible and encouraged staff to get the word out that this is something that residents 11 can take advantage of. 12 Public Hearing #3 13 A motion to open the Public Hearing on Public Hearing on Local Law 14 Introductory No. 12 of 2026 to amend Chapter 197, Streets and Sidewalks, 15 of the Village Code to update the list of sidewalks exempt from the duty to 16 clear or make safe was made by Trustee Nachtaler.
