Resolution 238-2026 21 Cook Lane Transfer
Extracted text

Dr. Richard Becker, Town Supervisor &
Town of Cortlandt Town Board Members
1 Heady Street
Cortlandt Manor, New York 10567
Dear Dr. Becker & Town Board Members:
I am writing in regards to a parcel of land which the Town currently owns at 21 Cook Lane in the
Village of Croton-on-Hudson (SBL #67.19-2-27). The Town foreclosed on this property in 2021
due to the non-payment of taxes. This particular parcel was designated as a playground area on
the filed 1954 subdivision map, and is not considered a buildable lot (a decision re-affirmed by
the court in 2010).
The Village of Croton-on-Hudson requests that the Town transfer this parcel of land to the
Village for park purposes. If such request is granted, the Village will work with the Recreation
Department and the Recreation Advisory Committee to determine what use would be best for the
residents of Cook Lane/Wolf Road to enjoy the parcel.
Please let me know if any further information is needed to effectuate this request.
