This week’s Legislative Meeting Agenda (Wednesday 7/7) will be back in person at Village Hall, 16 Croton Avenue, in the Board Room. We will also stream via Zoom for those community members/consultants who wish to watch/participate from home. This is per legislative order.
The Village Environmental Advisory Committee (EAC) is hard at work and has requested to work on several policies related to tree equity and tree placement throughout the Village. The Board is being asked to officially designate the EAC as the Village's "Tree Board," which does not by nature change their directive or affect the progression of projects through the land use board process but simply makes clearer the already defined scope of their advisory role concerning environmental issues.
The BOT will be asked to vote on (3) resolutions related to the Comprehensive Plan: adoption of SEQR findings, adopting the Plan and adopting the related zoning text amendments. I consider the Comprehensive Plan one of the most important pieces of work in front of my administration, so this is a big deal moment for our Village. It is an iterative process, but this vote is one of the significant milestones. I cannot talk about the Comprehensive Plan without also thanking all those in our community who volunteered their time to be on the Comprehensive Plan Steering Committee, our staff, volunteers, and numerous focus groups who worked on the Plan.
