2 issues in zoning with high priority

Tree Removal Code Rewrite and Clearance Form

The town is rewriting its tree ordinance to create a simpler two-track system: small removals (up to ~10 trees) handled administratively by the building inspector, larger or sensitive-site jobs going to the Planning Board. Enforcement and public education remain challenges.

The Town Board adopted short-term rental rules with no comment and is expected to adopt the Croton Falls Plan as-is — so the Planning Board's February 18 work session on these topics may be cancelled.
