Dobbs Ferry board sets Sept. 8 public hearing for comprehensive plan draft; removes DOT roundabout graphic
Summary
The board scheduled a Sept. 8 public hearing (6:30 p.m.) on the draft comprehensive plan, discussed separating or relabeling a DOT-proposed roundabout graphic from the plan's conceptual drawings to avoid implying village endorsement, and agreed to public outreach steps.
The board moved to schedule a public hearing on the village’s draft comprehensive plan for Sept. 8 at 6:30 p.m., signaling a next step to solicit public comment on the plan contents and to begin identifying possible zoning updates that would follow a plan adoption.
Planning lead presented the draft and said trustees were being asked for any final comments and to call the public hearing. "We'd like the board to call or schedule a public hearing, September 8," the planning lead said. Trustees debated whether to include a DOT-proposed roundabout graphic in the plan’s conceptual drawings and concluded that the DOT material either should be removed or relabeled so it did not create the perception of board endorsement; they asked staff to add clarifying language if the figure remains.
Trustees also discussed next steps for forming a zoning committee and for public outreach. The board voted to schedule the Sept. 8 public hearing and directed staff to post the draft and publicize the hearing through the village website and normal outreach channels.
