From: Vasilakos, Lisa (DOS) To: RE: Draft LWRP (DOS Review) Date: Thursday, April 21, 2022 4:30:02 PM Attachments: image001.png image002.png Guidelines_Notification_Review _Fed_State_Actions_2017.doc Croton Final Draft LWRP 2.2022_dos_review.pdf ***CAUTION: External sender.*** Bryan,   DOS has conducted a review of the Village’s Draft LWRP (February 2022).   We are requesting some additional changes and providing some recommendations.   Changes:   In Section II page II-23 there is a map of the Harbor Management Plan Boundary (Figure 8). That map should also be included in Section I. It could be relabeled Figure 1A rather than adjusting multiple figure numbers.   ·         Add Guidelines for Notification and Review of State Agency Actions; and Procedural Guidelines for Coordinating Consistency Review of Federal Agency Actions to the LWRP (see attached document)- typically this information in included in Section V or in the appendix.   In Appendix B, the 603.3 chart has some blank spaces in it. If those items are N/A it would be helpful if that was added to the chart so it does not appear as if those sections were just not addressed.   Recommendations:   ·         Per Executive Law § 915(5), one element of a LWRP is the application of local aesthetic considerations in the design of new structures and the redevelopment of waterfront sites. It is recognized that the Village has established Design Guidelines in their zoning code and the 2003 Comprehensive Plan for each of the three gateway areas in the village (South Riverside/ Harmon, Municipal Place, and the North End). If Croton wishes to expand upon these aesthetic considerations, a good example of Architectural design standards can be found in the Village of Saranac Lake’s standards at https://ecode360.com/31626881.   ·         Implementation- Local Laws The Village has not identified any new local laws and/or regulations necessary to implement the LWRP. Some potential considerations are as follows: o   The Village identified a number of historical properties in its inventory and analysis section of the draft LWRP. They may want to consider a Historic Preservation Law to implement the historic properties policy. The City of Union has a good example to review- https://codelibrary.amlegal.com/codes/unionor/latest/union_or/0-0-0-4661 o   The Village did mention its scenic views in its Inventory and Analysis section of the draft LWRP,  Croton may want to consider a Natural and Scenic Resource Protection law. A good example to review would be the Village of Dobbs Ferry’s law at https://ecode360.com/10566780   Please let me know if you have any questions regarding our review.   Thanks,   Lisa   From: Bryan Healy <bhealy@crotononhudson-ny.gov> Sent: Wednesday, March 2, 2022 4:24 PM To: Vasilakos, Lisa (DOS) <Lisa.Vasilakos@dos.ny.gov> Subject: RE: Draft LWRP (DOS Review)   ATTENTION: This email came from an external source.
