RE: Local Law Introductory 7 of 2024
DATE: May 24, 2024
At its regularly scheduled meeting on May 21*, 2024, the Planning Board of the Village of
Croton-on-Hudson reviewed the referral from the Village Board regarding Local Law
Introductory 7 of 2024 to amend Chapter 230, Zoning, of the Code of the Village of Croton on
Hudson to add new Article IVB, Indian Brook-Croton Gorge Inter-Municipal Watershed
Protection Overlay District (WPOD).
Planning Board had a number of questions regarding the Overlay Zoning District. It was
noted that there are stormwater hotspots or facilities defined in the local law that would
generate potentially more pollution. There are also additional watersheds in the Village. A
Wetland definition would also be helpful for clarification. Planning Board thought that
some existing businesses would need to apply for Wetland Permits. Planning Board asked
about lawn chemicals and if 25 linear feet was enough of a buffer, as listed in Section 230-
20.14(13). Planning Board also noted that there are enforcement issues here, such as
determining if septic tanks have to be pumped out once every three years (230-20,14(6).
Planning Board discussed Section 230-30.16 and portions of this section relating to
stormwater hotspots are not clear and are a little confusing. Planning Board recommends
that this section be rewritten to clarify intent.
