SECOND HEARING OF CITIZENS
Warren Smith 203 9th Street in Verplanck has questions about the LWRP, Local Waterfront
Revitalization Program, Supervisor Becker answered that Chris Kehoe, Director of Planning,
would have more answers about that. But the Town Board did rezone it into mixed use and the
limiting factor is sewage and being able to redevelop the area without a proper sewage system.
The Town is currently developing a design of a sewer system.
Councilperson Creighton stated he did speak with Chris Kehoe recently and the Town submitted
a draft with New York State on December 9th, 2024 and have received comments back the staff
will respond as appropriate. The Town did take the recommendations of the LWRP and the
Master Plan to work on the rezoning of the area around the waterfront.
Mr. Smith also questioned about the Quarry Conservatory and if there any new developments.
Supervisor Becker answered Councilperson Mayes and himself have met with some individuals
and one did not work out. The Town is meeting with the Westchester Parks Foundation and
philanthropists to see if they are interested. The Town would like to do this without spending any
town money.
Mr. Smith also questioned the moratorium on Solar and Battery Energy Storage. Deputy Town
Attorney answered the moratorium is in effect until July. Councilperson Creighton answered
there was an amendment to remove the incentives so people are not incentivized to be building in
the middle of forested areas but rather to have it on top of buildings, brown fields and areas like
that. Therefore, if makes forested areas the last and least favorable option in the Town. He
battery energy.
Mr. Smith questioned the Transit Oriented District and any updates. Supervisor Becker answered
the TOD is moving forward and the design is about seventy-five percent complete. The
consultants are pushing to building on current MTA property since the parking lots are not being
used anymore. There should be a presentation in two weeks at the work session in regards to this.
Mr. Smith had some suggestions and was encouraged to join the work session.
ADJOURNMENT
Councilperson Mayes made a motion to adjourn the meeting, seconded by Councilperson Jacoby
with all voting AYE.

I am a 20-year Cortlandt resident. I recently moved to Bal c Place. I am no cing the following.
If you exit the Food Town Parking lot on Bal c Place, there is no stop sign. You are exi ng onto two way traffic.
Also, if you are on Bal c Place heading toward Scenic Drive, there is a street sign on Dove Court. When you
proceed a li le further to Bal c Place, there is no street sign. There is a sign saying ‘Bal c Place but it is not
visible un l you actually make the le hand turn. This causes confusion with deliveries or visitors.
I sincerely would appreciate you looking into this.
Thank you.
