Preston commission authorizes legal referral for 253 Route 2A; court allows cleanup at 168 Route 2A
Summary
The commission voted to refer 253 Route 2A to the Town Attorney for litigation over unresolved violations and heard that the court has authorized cleanup at 168 Route 2A, including potential Town lien to recover costs. Staff did not yet have cleanup cost estimates.
The Preston Planning & Zoning Commission on Jan. 27 authorized the Zoning Enforcement Officer to refer enforcement action for 253 Route 2A to the Town Attorney after the property owner failed to make required changes or improvements.
At the same meeting Town Planner Kathy Warzecha reported that 168 Route 2A remains subject to court‑authorized cleanup; the Town may place a lien on that property to recover cleanup costs. Warzecha told members that a cost estimate from the Zoning Enforcement Officer was not yet available.
Commission members asked for follow‑up updates on enforcement status and documentation. The motion to proceed with a referral for 253 Route 2A carried unanimously; no specific vote breakdown was recorded in the meeting minutes.
The record indicates staff will continue correspondence with property owners and that further enforcement measures are possible if compliance is not achieved.
