Council presses enforcement of long-standing RV and weed ordinances
Summary
Council members said Charleston will step up enforcement of Land Use Ordinance 02.0624 (in place since 1973) for RVs and property maintenance; several unresolved cases remain and the clerk was asked to circulate weed ordinances for follow-up.
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.
Council members also raised concerns about neglected weed growth on some properties, calling it a problem for local farmers; the mayor asked Clerk Karen Mair to circulate the town's weed ordinances to the council for possible action at a future meeting. The council did not record any immediate enforcement orders at the July 2 meeting beyond direction to follow up on outstanding cases.
