On Wednesday evening Kendal will be treated to a lecture by Sara Mascia and Len Andrew on the proposed Historic Preservation Law for the Village of Sleepy Hollow
Years ago, Nicholas Robinson drafted an Historic Preservation Ordinance which was adopted by Tarrytown. A similar ordinance was also proposed for Sleepy Hollow, and the Planning Board recommended its adoption. However, the Sleepy Hollow Village Board did not act on the recommendation. Now, with Sleepy Hollow preparing a Comprehensive Plan, and with the inner village being threatened by gentrification, it is time for the Village Board to reconsider an ordinance.
Landmark preservation has become settled law, and a model landmarks law for New York State municipalities has been published. The reasons this law should be enacted by Sleepy Hollow will be discussed by Sara Mascia, Executive Director, Historical Society of Sleepy Hollow/Tarrytown, and Kendal resident Len Andrew, a long-time resident of Sleepy Hollow.
All residents are invited join in for this important discussion.
It will take place on Wednesday, September 5 at 7:30 pm, in the Gathering Room.
