Summary

During public comment, residents raised multiple neighborhood concerns: temporary signs and yard signage near Town Hall, a cracked Main Street sidewalk and grease by Coffee Trappe, and persistent dog barking; the council said it will inspect sidewalks and review sign and animal-control rules.

During the Oct. 1 public comment period, resident Wayne Windsor raised concerns about temporary signs across the street from Town Hall, a cracked Main Street sidewalk and grease on the sidewalk in front of Coffee Trappe. President Newnam said the town would "take a look at the cracked sidewalk and determine what needs to be done to repair it and contact Mr. Mitchell to have the sidewalk cleaned in front of the Coffee Trappe."

Mary Anne Windsor told the council she has repeatedly called the Humane Society about dogs barking at a neighbor's property but that officers can act only when dogs are barking at the moment they arrive; she asked the town to consider limits on the number of dogs allowed on a property. Town staff said they would review the zoning ordinance for possible regulation of temporary signs and examine animal-control options and existing ordinances.
