Selectboard to consult Planning Commission before considering changes to sidewalk dining rules
Summary
The Selectboard discussed possible revisions to Section 13-13 of the Town Ordinances (use of town sidewalks for dining) and asked Town Manager Scott Murphy to consult the Planning Commission and Zoning Administrator Brabazon before returning with recommendations.
On April 21 the Manchester Selectboard discussed potential changes to Chapter XIII, Section 13-13 of town ordinances, which govern the use of town sidewalks for dining. Town Manager Scott Murphy summarized the history of sidewalk dining regulation and cited input from Zoning Administrator Brabazon as a resource for the board’s consideration.
Selectboard member Jonathan West asked whether the Planning Commission had examined the issue and whether the commission could provide guidance; Murphy said he would connect with the Planning Commission to gather consensus and return the matter for further discussion. The board did not vote on ordinance language at the meeting and directed staff to consult the Planning Commission and bring back more detail.
