FROM THAT NEW CROTON.NEWS SITE--PB APPROVES ACCESSORY APT AT 129 SCENIC DRIVE WEST--QUESTIONS LINGER OVER PRIVATE SEWER OPERATOR

As always, please do your own due diligence; the site is AI-dive,

A key condition requires the applicants to secure capacity approval from the private wastewater treatment plant that serves the Baltic Estates subdivision — an entity whose ownership has become a mystery to local officials.

The Croton-on-Hudson Planning Board approved an accessory dwelling unit at 129 Scenic Drive West on May 26, granting the Fernandez family permission to convert their walkout basement into a full apartment for Christine Fernandez's parents — but not before navigating questions about a private sewer system whose operators appear to have gone dark.  MORE AT Planning Board Approves Accessory Apartment at 129 Scenic Drive West, Questions Linger About Private Sewer Operator — Croton-on-Hudson, NY
