Committee: residents may install irrigation but must get city approval for crossings
Summary
Members clarified that sprinkler systems crossing the cemetery road require town approval and discussed alternatives. The sexton said contractors or residents may perform installations if they follow approval steps in town ordinance.
During the sexton update, members asked how families can get sprinklers and grass installed on burial plots. The sexton said property owners or contractors may install irrigation, but crossing the cemetery road to do so "has to be approved" by the city and must follow town requirements.
The Chair noted the ordinance already requires city sign‑off for utility or irrigation lines that cross town right‑of‑way and asked staff to provide application parameters so families know what is acceptable. No formal ordinance change was proposed; the committee asked staff to document approval steps for future applicants.
