Planning Board Discusses Code 141 Revisions, Short-Term Rental Limits and Pole Barns
Summary
Members set a May 18 meeting to continue revisions to code section 141, discussed possible inclusion of pole-barn rules and noted Sodus Point currently lists 79 short-term rentals; one member cited examples that limit short-term rentals to no more than 6%.
The Planning Board used its new-business slot May 4 to schedule a follow-up meeting on proposed revisions to code section 141 and to raise related items such as pole barns and short-term rental policy.
Chair Bruce Evener asked for comments on the Section 141 revision and board members agreed to meet at 6:30 p.m. on May 18 to continue review. Janine Fogarty specifically suggested adding language addressing pole barns. William McKee flagged short-term rentals as an issue and noted comparative limits elsewhere, saying "some places had limited short term rentals to no more than 6%." McKee stated the village currently lists 79 short-term rentals and, along with other members, discussed the trade-off between increased commerce and preserving a year-round community.
No formal motions or votes were recorded for code changes at this meeting; the board set the next discussion for May 18 and indicated continued review of Code 190 was needed.
