Lake Clarke Shores council adopts water-supply update and tightens yard-waste timing
Summary
On second readings the council adopted Ordinance 2026-01 (five-year update to the water facilities supply plan) and Ordinance 2026-03 (moving vegetative/yard-waste placement to no earlier than 72 hours before collection). One resident publicly opposed the longer yard-waste window; both ordinances passed unanimously.
The council approved two ordinances on second reading that affect the town's planning and day-to-day operations.
Ordinance 2026-01 adopts the statutorily required five-year update to the town's water-supply element of the comprehensive plan. Staff told the council that the draft had been transmitted to state review and no substantive agency comments were outstanding; council approved the final reading unanimously.
Ordinance 2026-03 amends the town code to require vegetative and yard waste to be placed for collection no earlier than 72 hours before pickup. A resident, Warren, urged the council to reject the longer window, saying it encourages messy piles and could be taken advantage of; the council discussed enforcement challenges and the practicalities of different pickup schedules across neighborhoods before adopting the 72-hour rule on second reading.
Council took both votes as part of routine code and plan maintenance; staff said enforcement and public education would accompany the solid-waste change.
