Parksley council approves zoning and code changes on driveways, front‑yard parking and grass clippings
Summary
The council approved three ordinance amendments: clarified driveway construction materials, a prohibition on front‑yard parking, and a rule requiring grass clippings be cleared from roadways with $50–$250 fines; votes varied (one abstention and one dissent on parking).
Councilman Dan Matthews introduced three ordinance amendments at the April 8 meeting: to add approved materials for driveways (amendment to zoning ordinance 2‑16/2‑60), to require off‑street parking and prohibit front‑yard parking (Article V‑7), and to forbid blowing grass clippings into roadways after mowing, with fines of "$50‑$250 for each offense."
The council voted on the measures during the meeting. The driveway‑materials amendment passed with ayes Russell, Nash, Matthews and Parks; Councilman Sam Welch abstained. The front‑yard parking amendment passed with one 'no' vote from Welch. The grass‑clipping amendment passed unanimously. Council directed that the parking change be posted online and communicated directly to residents who might not have internet access.
