Sullivan board denies request to allow convicted sex offender to live with grandfather under town ordinance

The Town of Sullivan board considered and denied a request from Michael Enters to permit his grandson, a convicted sex offender, to live with him at W1789 Froelich Road.

Several residents from Froelich Road attended the meeting and voiced opposition, citing the town ordinance’s distance requirement from public parks. Clerk Dawn Bauer and board members reviewed the location and concluded the distance from Enters’ house to Fireman's Park would disqualify the grandson under the current ordinance; the board therefore declined to grant the requested change.

Resident Laura Glomski presented statistics about the number and distribution of registered sex offenders in the town and surrounding areas during the discussion. The minutes record the residents’ concerns and the board’s decision to apply the existing ordinance rather than create an exception. No amendment or alternative accommodation was recorded in the minutes.

The board’s decision reflects application of the town’s ordinance requirements; the minutes do not record any formal vote tally for this specific denial, but they show the board documented the decision in the course of the New Business item. The next procedural steps recorded in the meeting were unrelated administrative items and a later closed session on personnel matters.
