Civic issues
Topics getting the most attention in North Salem, NY public meetings, ranked by how frequently they come up.
Tree Removal Code Rewrite and Clearance Form
The town is rewriting its tree ordinance to create a simpler two-track system: small removals (up to ~10 trees) handled administratively by the building inspector, larger or sensitive-site jobs going to the Planning Board. Enforcement and public education remain challenges.
Short-term rental regulation enforcement
The Town Board adopted short-term rental rules with no comment and is expected to adopt the Croton Falls Plan as-is — so the Planning Board's February 18 work session on these topics may be cancelled.
