Dobbs Ferry residents protesting The Knoll development

By Sue Treiman –

Dozens of Dobbs Ferry home­own­ers are seek­ing a mora­to­rium on fu­ture de­vel­op­ment in a vil­lage neigh­bor­hood, the “Knoll”, where they claim new con­struc­tion could harm wildlife, threaten nearby prop­er­ties, worsen flood­ing, and set a prece­dent for sim­i­lar pro­jects.

Mem­bers of the “Save the Knoll” cit­i­zens group pre­sented a pe­ti­tion signed by 273 resi­dents at the May 28th Vil­lage Board of Trustees meet­ing re­quest­ing the construction delay.

In a note emailed to The Hud­son In­de­pen­dent on Tues­day af­ter­noon, Dobbs Ferry Vil­lage Ad­min­is­tra­tor ex­plained that the mat­ter will now be con­sid­ered by the vil­lage board. “ The pe­ti­tion is un­der re­view and eval­u­a­tion so that the Board of Trustees will have the ben­e­fit of ad­vice and coun­sel be­fore reach­ing any de­ci­sion,” wrote Robert Ya­muder, Vil­lage Ad­min­is­tra­tor.
