Resident complains of neighbor's marijuana plants causing persistent odor
Summary
Vivian Norton told the Board neighbors planted marijuana plants that produced an unpleasant odor all summer and that Code Enforcement previously allowed a garden at the property; Mayor Barton said he would follow up with Code Enforcement.
During public comment, resident Vivian Norton said her neighbors began a garden along her fence three years ago and this year grew marijuana plants that produced an unpleasant odor throughout the summer, making it difficult for her family to use their yard.
Norton said Code Enforcement had inspected three years earlier and told the neighbors it was acceptable then, but the odor and overhang of plants are now a nuisance. She presented photos to the Board and asked what remedies are available; Mayor John Barton said he would check with Code Enforcement to determine next steps.
Norton told trustees her family has lived at the address since 1964 and described the situation as interfering with their ability to enjoy outdoor space. The transcript does not record any legal citations or enforcement steps at the meeting; the mayor agreed to follow up with Code Enforcement.
