RE:         Recommendation to Village Board regarding Local Law Introductory 10 of 2024  
               recommending that the Zoning regulations addressing the reservation of  
               parkland be revised to provide clear and concise language on their applicability.  
 
DATE:    September 6, 2024 
 
At its regularly scheduled meetings on August 6th, 2024 and August 20th, 2024, the Planning 
Board reviewed the referral from the Village Board regarding Local Law Introductory 10 of 2024. 
The changes will expand the local law and establish a clear system where the Village Board will 
set a fee scale for larger developments, depending on the number of bedrooms, for a park and 
recreation fee to be paid into a trust to be used by the Village for park, playground, or recreation 
purposes, if 10% of the total area of the subdivision cannot be allotted for this purpose. 
 
The Planning Board recommends that Local Law Introductory 10 of 2024 be updated, as 
written, with the following changes: 
 
1) Under Section Two, § 230-123-part D, it states, “All funds paid in lieu of recreation land 
shall constitute a trust fund to be used by the Village of Croton-on-Hudson exclusively 
for park, playground or recreation purposes, including the acquisition of land.”  The 
Planning Board recommends that this wording be added under § 230-73 of Local Law 
Introductory 10 of 2024. 
 
2) The Planning Board recommends that the parkland fee payment must be made prior to 
the Planning Board Chairperson signing a subdivision plat.
