A request for a mooring in Dering Harbor has set off a political scuffle and caused a Village Board member to resign her posts.
In addition to being a trustee, Clora Kelly has been serving as Waterways Commissioner. When a resident asked for a mooring, Ms. Kelly said, she identified several sites, including one in front of her home. Her husband objected to that placement, she disclosed at the Board’s monthly meeting on April 10.
In order to comply with Village precedent and be transparent, she said, she sought advice from the Village Board and the Town Waterways Commission. She said, in a subsequent email to residents, that there was a traditional mooring spot available that she thought would be an acceptable alternative.
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.
