TOWN BOARD - Junk Yard & Codes MEETING

Following the May 22  public hearings, the Town Board approved:

#1  Amendments to the Town Building Codes Ordinance, updating requirements and fees; and
#2  Approval of Town Law #1-2019 - Covering "unregulated" and existing junk yards. 

The definition of  "junk" is no longer limited to unregistered vehicles.  As a result there are several properties that will now fall within the "unregulated" definition and subject to regulation or clean up. 

Regulation of "existing (licensed)" junk yards were not changed.  The Town has only three licensed yards.

It was an informative Q&A session among the Board,  Public and Codes Officer Chad Trudell.  Clearly, a good deal of training, thought and effort were put into the new regs  and include an appeals process. Only a handful of residents attended the hearing.   

As a result of these actions, the Town Board and Codes Officer are now able to move ahead on a long standing  community problem. 

For copies of the new regulations, see the Town Website......
