Committee delays public hearing on second-floor porch railing rules until next meeting
Summary
A previous public discussion on second-floor porch railing requirements did not draw participants tonight; the committee agreed to keep the item on the agenda and invite previous commenters and the BZA representative to the next meeting.
The Building and Housing Committee on April 21 agreed to postpone further consideration of proposed second-floor porch railing requirements until its next scheduled meeting after no members of the public who raised the issue previously appeared at tonight's meeting.
Chair Winifred Weiser said one of the people who had previously raised the railing issue had been contacted by email but did not attend. Committee members suggested calling prior commenters, including an individual named Alex and Kevin, the Board of Zoning Appeals representative, to ensure they can provide input at the next meeting. The chair asked staff to notify those individuals and keep the railing proposal on the committee's agenda so the group can give public input when interested parties attend.
No formal vote was taken to change the ordinance; the committee's action was to keep the item on the agenda and attempt to contact prior commenters for more participation at the next meeting.
