Porter moves to require dumpsters be kept on owners' property after complaints about right-of-way placement
Summary
The board voted unanimously to change the ordinance so residents and businesses using dumpsters must keep them on their property; the town attorney noted some businesses lack fences and clean-up issues may be addressed under dilapidated personal property rules.
Town Attorney Terri Craig advised the council that a previous vote directed staff to draft an ordinance requiring businesses to keep dumpsters behind fences, but some businesses do not have fences. She said debris placed around dumpsters could also be addressed under dilapidated personal property provisions. Mayor Steve Dickey told the board that many dumpsters are currently located in the town right-of-way.
The board voted unanimously to change the ordinance to make it mandatory that residents and businesses using a trash dumpster must keep the dumpster on their own property. The minutes do not record any amendment language; staff will need to draft and present the ordinance text for a future meeting.
