Resident raises parking concerns; local business owner promises to comply with code
Summary
During public comment, Solomon Hamilton said he intends to bring his business into compliance after earlier code enforcement actions; resident Lynette Stevens Wright urged the council to explore assigned or shared parking to reduce neighborhood disruption from events.
Solomon Hamilton of Hamilton Bonding spoke during public comment to explain prior code enforcement interactions and to say he intends to come back into compliance and reapply for licenses. Hamilton told the council that past operations had generated concerns about junk vehicles and outdoor storage, acknowledged problems and said he is ready to obtain the necessary licenses and follow town requirements.
Council member(s) and code enforcement officer James Pinkney proposed consulting the town attorney and scheduling a follow‑up sit‑down after Thanksgiving to review licensing and compliance steps. The council told Hamilton staff would contact him and try to schedule that meeting for the first week of December.
Resident Lynette Stevens Wright spoke about parking shortages on 57th Street during events and suggested the council consider assigned parking or shared lots to avoid blocking residents’ on‑street spaces. The council said it would add the topic to a future agenda for further discussion.
No formal policy or enforcement action was taken during the meeting; the council directed staff to consult the attorney and follow up with Mr. Hamilton and to review parking options at a future meeting.
