Tarrytown's
Planning Board held a public session on April 27th
concerning a proposed development in Wilson Park.
Several people - neighbors and environmental activists
- came to voice their environmental and other public
concerns. Written comments should be made to Ms.
Kathleen D'Eufemia (Village contact), 21 Wildey
St., Tarrytown, NY 10591 or call 914.631.1652.
SUMMER
2004 - PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT CONCERN: An active,
fast-moving development project named "Legends"
at Wilson Park in Tarrytown, plans large, high-end
housing units there, just West of the Tarrytown
Lakes. The proposal will subdivide 48 acres to build
20 single-family homes in an area currently (partially)
zoned for 21- and 26-acre lots (Wilson Park Dr.,
Warner La., County House Rd., Tarrytown.)
This
development, fortunately subject to full approval,
would likely preclude the only chance to finally
connect the North County Trailway to the Old Croton
Aqueduct Trail, a long-sought goal described both
in County and State plans. (some plans can be found
in the links at this site - please let us know if
you have any additional information or useful links
to add.)
CCAPLD
(Citizens Concerned About Pocantico Land Development)
is a group of people interested in preserving the
open, natural green character of the Pocantico estates
area and public spaces in the area of Briarcliff
Manor, Pocantico Hills, Sleepy Hollow and Tarrytown,
on the East banks of the lower Hudson River in NY
State.
Ongoing
land use issues have brought local residents together
to share ideas to help preserve the character of
this unique area, portions of which are or could
become vulnerable to private development. And also
to foster creation of East-West walking/biking trail
connections between the North County Trailway and
the Old Croton Aqueduct Trail.
