This has been another short week in the Town of Ossining, as our employees enjoyed a long weekend in observance of Martin Luther King Jr. Day on Monday. It was wonderful to hear from so many of you who participated in the National Day of Service and contributed to making our community, and our world, a brighter place.
The Town Board held our Town Hall Meeting on Tuesday, January 17th at the Ossining Public Library, where we hosted Samantha Epstein from the Hudson Valley Sloop Clearwater, who introduced us to the Watercraft Inspection Steward program. This initiative is meant to prevent the spread of invasive species, specifically the aquatic plant hydrilla, from entering the Hudson River and surrounding waterways by installing a steward at our boat ramp and beach to inspect boats entering and leaving the river. The Stewards will also be able to speak with boaters and raise awareness of the potential for invasive species “hitchhikers." 2017 will be the third year that this program will run in our area, and for the first time, Ossining has been chosen to participate. The Town Board is pleased to introduce this program to the Ossining waterfront for the 2017, and has added a resolution to our next agenda to formally agree to proceed. If you are interested in learning about the origins of the program or the invasive species problem in the Hudson Valley, you can view Samantha’s presentation here (begins around the 5:15 mark).

This week, the Town Board opened the Public Hearing on Local Law #1 of 2017, which we have been working towards for many months with the help of our Planning Consultant, David Stolman. Back in June of 2016, the Town Board imposed a development moratorium in anticipation of making some changes to our Zoning Code, the consideration of which was recommended by the Town’s Comprehensive Plan. We have submitted the draft local law to our Planning Board, Zoning Board of Appeals, and Environmental Advisory Committee, along with the Westchester County Department of Planning, and while we await their feedback, we will leave the Public Hearing open so as to gather input from our residents and local business owners, who have the most intimate knowledge of the affected neighborhoods and what a zoning change may mean for the Town as a whole. I encourage you to attend our Town Hall Meeting on Tuesday, January 17 at 7:30PM at the Ossining Public Library, where we will re-open the Public Hearing and will be joined by Mr. Stolman, who will be on hand to address questions we have as we continue through this process. If public speaking is not your preferred form of communication, you can always email me at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. or send a letter to me at 16 Croton Avenue, and I will make sure to share your input with the Board and the Town Clerk for inclusion in the record.
The Town Hall Meeting will be mainly dedicated to the continuation of the Public Hearing I mentioned above, but we will start with a short Work Session to include a presentation from Samantha Epstein from Clearwater, who will provide a brief introduction to the Watercraft Inspection Steward Program. As we have discussed before, the widespread infiltration of the invasive species hydrilla in the Croton River has raised concerns about the protection of our local water bodies, and Clearwater is prepared to offer a program to inspect boats before they enter the water, free of charge to the Town and to boaters. I am hopeful that the Town Board will support this initiative and that Clearwater will join us on the Ossining waterfront this summer.
