Pursuant to Section 239 L, M and N of the General Municipal Law and Section 277.61 of the County Administrative Code George Latimer County Executive 432 Michaelian Office Building 148 Martine Avenue White Plains, New York 10601 Telephone: (914) 995-4400 Website: westchestergov.com May 31, 2024 Paula DiSanto, Village Clerk Village of Croton-on-Hudson One Van Wyck Street Croton-on-Hudson, New York 10520-2501 County Planning Board Referral File CRO 24-004 Indian Brook-Croton Gorge Inter-Municipal Watershed Protection Overlay District Zoning Text and Map Amendment Dear Mr. Kehoe: The Westchester County Planning Board has received a proposed local law to create a new zoning overlay district: WPOD – Indian Brook-Croton Gorge Inter-Municipal Watershed Protection Overlay District. This new zone would be established to provide increased protections of the Indian Brook and Croton Gorge watersheds. Land uses that could increase pollution would not be permitted, such as automotive-related uses, dry cleaners, chemical and mining facilities, and junkyards. The district would also include more stringent regulations for construction within wetland and wetland buffer areas, as well as increasing the buffer area setback. Performance criteria would be established for construction and maintenance activities. All new major subdivisions would be required to be designed as conservation subdivisions. We have reviewed this matter under the provisions of Section 239 L, M and N of the General Municipal Law and Section 277.61 of the County Administrative Code and we find it to be a matter for local determination in accordance with your community’s planning and zoning policies. We appreciate the Village for considering increased protections of this important watershed. Please inform us of the Village’s decision so that we can make it a part of the record. Thank you for calling this matter to our attention. Richard Hyman Chair, Westchester County Planning Board RH/mv cc: Blanca Lopez, Commissioner, Westchester County Department of Planning
