Building Ordinance Changes Approved

At its November 9 meeting, the Town Council held a public hearing on and approved several amendments to the Town’s Building Ordinance.  The changes to the ordinance, which were recommended by the Town’s Land Use Committee, relax some permitting requirements, allow accommodations for accessibility by disabled persons, codify existing practices and clarify some provisions. 

The Council approved all proposed changes, except for those related to guard rails and hand rails, and clarified language related to the placement of air conditioners and heat pumps within side yard setbacks.  The Council asked the Land Use Committee to consider further the proposed guardrail regulations and report back to the Council with recommendations.
