The overlay? Oh, yes. Correct. Yes. You can prohibit it specifically from the properties that Are within the within the overlay area. Yes. So because you because the ShopRite Plaza

Because if and I'm just, you know, speaking, you know, almost academically. But if you go back to back three years to the to the first interest that we had, it was in the ShopRite

Yes. Those those last two are definitely I mean, I've the things that were at said at the town hall, I was there, so I heard all those things. And then the last two items you've mentioned are things that I've heard, you know, before and after. And I …

it up. So can we get clarity on how this if this the process is we gotta write a recommendation, goes back to village board. They ultimately approve this new local law, goes into effect. Is it retroactive? How does it impact the application Not that …

this came in after that Seeker law the application across from ShopRite came in after the Seeker law change. So then it will be governed by this the new Seeker law change, I guess, is what we're saying here.

It includes your commercial center of, like, with ShopRite. It also com includes the commercial corridor along South Riverside Avenue to a little past Oneida Avenue. The state also likes to see that there is momentum already taking place within that …

How are you? Yes. I'm Cynthia Eldridge. I own one of the properties in that section there. I had two questions. One is I was here for the first gateway proposals made, I don't know, twenty something years ago And they talked a lot about sidewalks and…

Just off topic, I'd like to say that, I've done my lawn for seventy seven years, and my wife insisted that an outside guy do it. Part of the landscaping industry, you know. Guy makes about $65,000 a year, and he's the manager as opposed to the other …

If you've been down there, it is it is a crowded scene. We'd need some sort of, at least, acknowledgment that that that that's there and is an issue, and then a sense about how it it it you can potentially mitigate it. You're gonna have residents tha…

Secondly, I wanted to talk about the development of the property across from ShopRite about the great concern that people in that neighborhood of Young Avenue, which is Young Avenue has the most attacked neighborhood in all of Croton and Hudson. Mayb…

So I would think you ought to consider moving it up. And the other final thing I have, I guess it was about a year ago when the proposal for we all know that dispensaries are allowed now in New York and all across the country. And it was proposed to …

It was actually a preliminary conversation because they were trying to get an application with the state. We sent a positive recommendation for that dispensary, at down at ShopRite. Their lease fell through. So it was not the village that stopped tha…

Well, I mean, I'm gonna say both. Like, just in generalities. You specifically if you look at your and even what you're proposing, there's a reference to, like, commercial signs. Right? Or and there's an application to signage in general that applies…

But it's all with positive intent. It's regarding the dispensary matter. You know, my understanding is that most municipalities that have retail dispensaries have more than one, typically two or more, you know, even if they're small villages. And New…

Alright. So the next section is section f, and so this is what I was referring to earlier. So section f, which is the placement size and attachment, this applies to all signs, commercial or noncommercial. Right? So all signs in the village would have…

Yeah. Committees are expected to operate within their approved budget. If they're gonna exceed that, they have to get approval from the board. Funds can't be used for transportation, lodging, meals, other incidentals, again, unless they receive expli…

I think somebody from that committee came and got the card from here. So I just don't know how somebody on the committee happened to know that. I didn't even know that. So I think being more specific about what the procurement policy is specifically …

I'll I'll just say, for example, for the, I'm trying to remember what special permit it was that we got. I think it might have been for the mechanic's garage at across from ShopRite in the Straddles Building. Uh-huh. That went to that was the first p…
