The Dering Harbor Village Board of Trustees is focusing on clarifying and defining certain regulations.
For the past few meetings, changes have been discussed in the Zoning Code as to Permitted/Prohibited Uses, Driveways and Off-street Parking; Definitions: Lot Lines, Yards and Lot Coverage; and Trees and Vegetation.
At the March 13 board meeting, held via Zoom, the trustees opened a public hearing into the proposed changes. Some of the issues they sought to address include noise from residential parking areas being sited too close to neighbors’ properties. With regard to trees and vegetation, earlier practices had required village residents to get approval from a Trustee to remove trees from their property, if the tree exceeded 9 inches in diameter.
