River waterfront, and established goals and objectives for vacant waterfront land. Conceptual land use plans and general design guidelines were developed for the waterfront area. Design recommendations included improvements to a main access road along Half Moon Bay parcel, to the Senasqua tunnel for pedestrian and bike use, renovation of Senasqua Park, improvements to Croton Yacht Club and Croton Bay boat launch, including improvements of roadway connecting Senasqua Park to the yacht club, and permanent closure at at-grade railroad crossing. PAGE 12 CROTON COMPREHENSIVE PLAN Other design alternatives included developing esplanades and plazas for outdoor dining, and public viewing, small-scale water dependent uses, expanding mass transportation options including a small ferry dock and terminal, additional pedestrian overpass connections and additional parking for restaurant use. Several alternative development scenarios were studied for the Village Parcel, including the New Netherland Museum and Interpretive Arts Center. Both schemes incorporated proposed North Cove facilities for passive recreation, including a fishing dock and small boat launch, with beach restoration, scenic overlooks and nature trail. Buffer planting between trail and train tracks. The Greenway Vision Plan was formally adopted as an amendment to the 1977 Village Master Plan in December 1997. h. Croton-on-Hudson Feasibility Study, Village Waterfront Property, Imbiano Quigley Landscape Architects LLP, AKRF, 2000-2001. The first draft of this study (March 2000) considered four alternative scenarios for the 13.4-acre Hudson waterfront study area. The March 2000 draft presented four alternative scenarios: Passive Recreation; Passive Recreation with water dependent uses (barge restaurant, marina, boat launch); Waterfront Recreation with landbased restaurant, cultural center, and marina development; Active Recreation (ballfields, tennis courts, children’s play area, trails). The final version of the study, dated September 2001, describes a preferred alternative, which incorporated recommended features from the original four alternatives. Section 3.8 describes these waterfront planning efforts in more detail. i. Aquifer and Hydrogeology Studies Several reports have been prepared assessing the capacity of the Village well fields, and reviewing protection of the aquifer providing the Village’s ground water. These include three recent studies by Geraghty & Miller: Availability of ground-water resources at the Croton-on-Hudson well field, 1988; Aquifer protection plan, Crotonon-Hudson well field, 1989; Installation of Well 4, Croton-onHudson well field, 1992. j. Traffic Studies Traffic Calming Study, Various Roadways, February 2000, Pennoni Associates Inc., evaluated traffic issues along four roadway segments, and a multiple leg intersection, and identified specific PAGE 13 CROTON COMPREHENSIVE PLAN problems at intersections and roadways. To address these, the report provided traffic calming recommendations, including: curb bulb outs, chokers, realignments, traffic islands, as well as supplementary signage. k. Stormwater Management Studies The Village has authorized the consulting engineers, Dvirka and Bartilucci to undertake the development of a phased stormwater plan to address drainage, flooding, and stormwater runoff/hydrology conditions in priority areas of the Village. This study is slated for completion in 2003. PAGE 14
