Residents press commission over long‑running storage and yard equipment concerns; staff to check code enforcement
Summary
During public comment, residents urged action on longtime outdoor storage of trailers, lumber and equipment near Franklin/William Street; staff said they will check enforcement and permits (which can expire after six months).
Residents used the public-comment period to raise concerns about large storage sheds, trailers and lumber being kept at properties near Franklin and William streets, calling the collections an eyesore and asking whether the town would enforce codes or permit requirements.
A resident described a red storage building near South Main and said the material has been present for months. Staff noted that if a property owner holds a permit but work stops, permits typically expire after six months; staff said they would have enforcement check the site and determine whether permits or other violations apply.
Commissioners asked staff to follow up and investigate whether any permits or code infractions exist and to report back. No formal action beyond the requested enforcement check was recorded.
