County Planning Board Referral File: CRO 25-003 – Tree Provisions
Zoning Text Amendment
Dear Ms. DiSanto:
The Westchester County Planning Board has received a proposed amendment to the text of the Croton-
on-Hudson Zoning Ordinance to update the Village’s tree provisions. Permits would be required to
remove trees 4 inches and over diameter-at-breast-height within wetlands, and street tree planting within
new subdivisions would be required to be coordinated with the Superintendent of Public Works.
We have no objection to the Croton-on-Hudson Village Board assuming Lead Agency status for this
review.
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 find it to be a matter for local
determination in accordance with the Village’s planning and zoning policies.
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.

Chair, Westchester County Planning Board
