Town leaders on July 2 discussed enforcing Land Use Ordinance 02.0624, telling residents the code dates to the town's 1973 land-use rules and must be enforced to protect community standards. Planner Brian Preece stated the ordinance has been on the books since 1973 and said one enforcement case has been resolved while three others require follow-up; Council Member Don Sant said the town should enforce its rules and asked residents who object to bring issues to the council rather than ignore them.
