Neil Haber, 7 Sunset Drive, Croton on Hudson, member of the Croton Harmon Board of Education, stated that he is pleased that the Board is taking a look at the language, his concern is even if the fee is zero, students would still be required to obtain insurance as well as every other provision in Chapter 157 and asked that the law be re-drafted to take into consideration filming by school age children for class projects or something of that nature.

Trustee Simon stated that he is pleased that we are asking for specific proposals on what could be done with the house, as well as what they would envision how the park may be used consistent with the new uses of the house. Village Manager Healy stated that there are limitations because the property is designated “Parkland,” but a restaurant is one of the few uses that the State has agreed is compatible with “Parkland” use. Trustee Gallelli stated that this can be an evolutionary process, if we get something of interest for the residential piece then we can look at the “Parkland” piece but does not believe it has to be tied together.
