Top issues during term (20)

Fishkill Creek Development District Zoning Updates
Zoning changes could influence future development and tax base along the Fishkill Creek corridor.
Fishkill Creek Development District Zoning Amendments

Falconer Street Home Addition Setback Relief
None.
Setback Variances and Accessory Dwelling Unit at 60 Dennings Avenue
None to city finances.

Up to $50,000 in grant funding sought; if no grant comes through, a budget amendment would fund the process.
road construction
You might get hit with expensive towing and impound fees if you forget to move your car.
Anderson Street Residential Subdivision
New single-family homes will increase property tax revenues while adding minor incremental demands on municipal water and sewer services.
Front-yard parking variance at 28 Barrett Place

The property owner pays the city's planning, legal, and engineering fees for reviewing the request.
criminal justice policy
