Type:                                                               General Discussion

 

Title:                     MOTION to set a Hybrid (In-Person & Video Conference) Public Hearing date for October 26, 2022 at 6:30 p.m. to be held in the Council Chambers, 741 Colonel Ledyard Highway, to receive comments and recommendations regarding a proposed “An Ordinance Regulating Parking of Commercial Vehicles on Public Streets in Residential Zones and/or In Front of Residentially Used Properties” as contained in the draft dated June 8, September 28, 2022.

 

 

Action:  No Action

 

Minute Note:

Chairman Dombrowski stated in working to prepare letters to notify the residents about the Public Hearing regarding the proposed draft “An Ordinance Regulating Parking of Commercial Vehicles on Public Streets in Residential Zones and/or In Front of Residentially Used Properties” that he spoke with Public Works Director/Town Engineer Steve Masalin about whether one of the streets from which residents had expressed concerns regarding the commercial vehicles was a town road. He stated during their discussion Mr. Masalin suggested rather than create a separate ordinance that they consider adding the commercial vehicle language to Ordinance #300-027 (rev 1) “An Ordinance Regulating Parking and Other Activities in Town Roads and Rights-of-Way and Providing Penalties for the Violation Thereof”. Therefore, Chairman Dombrowski suggested the Town Council not set a public hearing this evening and that the Land Use/Planning/Public Works Committee revisit the proposal.

 

Councilor Ingalls stated that she agreed with the idea to include the Commercial Vehicle Parking provision in Ordinance #300-027 (rev 1).  However, she suggested this initiative not be delayed any longer than it needed to be, noting that she understood their residents frustration.

 

Administrative Assistant Roxanne Maher noted in a conversation with Mr. Masalin that proposed amendments to Ordinance #300-027 (rev 1) could be presented at the Land Use/Planning/Public Works Committee’s November 7, 2022 meeting.

 

The Town Council agreed to remove this item from the Agenda, noting that a motion to set a public hearing date would come forward at a later time regarding a proposed Ordinance.

 

 

RESULT: NO ACTION                                                     REMOVE FROM AGENDA
