Members JOHN GHEGAN GEOFFREY HAYNES STEVEN KRISKY EVA THADDEUS Attorney LINDA WHITEHEAD Village Engineer DANIEL O’CONNOR, P.E. TO: Mayor Brian Pugh and the Village Board of Trustees FROM: Chairman Luntz, Planning Board 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.
