Council discusses buffer-zone interpretation and potential addendum for Harrelson property
Summary
Councilmembers and staff debated whether a back section of Mark Harrelson's property is developable and whether fencing and a 200-foot squared buffer could be used to allow business-related storage (U-Haul trucks) under an addendum; staff said no formal action was taken and an agreement draft will be returned for council consideration.
Town staff summarized a recent meeting with Mark Harrelson and said Harrelson's position is that the rear area of his property is not developable but that he seeks to use a squared 200-foot fenced area for his storage business. Staff described an offer that, if fenced, the area could be used to park U-Haul trucks and trailers related to the storage operation but not for general paid storage of boats or unrelated items.
Council members and staff noted the original understanding included a maintenance plan request by a councilmember that was not incorporated into the written agreement. Staff said the town will prepare an addendum that spells out permitted uses and maintenance responsibilities; the addendum would be attached to Harrelson's agreement and returned to council for formal action at a future meeting.
Several council members urged clarity in the town code about buffer-zone use so future agreements do not rely on informal understandings. The clerk emphasized that the session was discussion-only and that no formal action occurred at the special meeting.
