Sutton sets May 1, 2026 deadline for multiple property cleanups after ordinance violations
Summary
Zoning Administrator Joe Witt outlined violations on several properties; the Select Board agreed to send letters to owners and set a May 1, 2026 compliance deadline while the clerk consults the town attorney on fines and lien authority.
The Select Board heard an update from Zoning Administrator Joe Witt about several properties in violation of Sutton's ordinances and agreed to notify owners that the town expects cleanup by May 1, 2026.
Witt reported violations including a trailer previously in the town right-of-way (Larry Francis), tiny buildings occupied on a property (Heather Bella), and junk-ordinance issues (Lorraine and Gale Berry; Crystal Rolfe). The board discussed next steps: the town will send letters to violators and Clerk/Treasurer Patti McClure will consult the town attorney about legal remedies, including potential fines, abatement by the town, and placing liens to recover cleanup costs if properties are later sold.
