In their comments at the public hearing on rezoning for retail at Chappaqua Crossing, several residents noted that Town Board members have promised a review the town’s master plan.  They said that the board was “putting the cart before the horse” in proposing a zoning change now, before looking at the master plan.  Yesterday, NCNOW reached Town Supervisor Susan Carpenter by phone to ask whether—and when—that master plan review would take place.

I wish the town board had waited until they had a picture or a site plan to show us before holding a public hearing on the zoning change at Chappaqua Crossing to allow retail uses.  The confusion and fear that was revealed at Monday night’s hearing means to me that it’s time to have a real conversation about how we can all work together with Chappaqua Crossing to develop their property without hurting our downtown hamlet.  To get this conversation going, here are a few questions that the hearing on Monday night left me—and probably a lot of you—wondering about.

At 7:30 p.m. on October 10, the Rocky Hills lecture series brings Barbara Paul Robinson and her newly published book on British gardening icon Rosemary Verey to the Chappaqua Library.  In preparation for the interview, of course I read the book, “Rosemary Verey – The Life and Lessons of a Legendary Gardener”—and thoroughly enjoyed it. To gain insight into Verey’s life was fascinating.

You meet people, make friends, and learn things from them. You can meet them at school, at work, anywhere!  Last summer, I made new friends by performing Shakespeare’s comedy, Much Ado About Nothing.  Yes, this was a Shakespeare summer camp.
