Council previews roof-overhang and lighting ordinance updates under 2021 building code
Summary
Mayor Rok presented proposed ordinances: a roof overhang rule to comply with the 2021 building code ("maximum of 24 inches for roof overhangs") and a clarification to the outdoor lighting ordinance; council asked for clearer information and may delay the lighting item to March.
Mayor Rok presented two proposed ordinance updates at the Jan. 27 work session: a roof overhang ordinance to align with the 2021 building code (setting a "maximum of 24 inches for roof overhangs") and a clarification to the outdoor lighting ordinance that would not change existing lighting standards but would clean up language. Council members noted the lighting measurements are technical and requested more user-friendly information; the mayor indicated the lighting ordinance might be delayed until March to allow for further clarification.
The mayor also reported the town is still waiting for input from the town attorney on a short-term rental ordinance and that attorney guidance will inform next steps for that separate item. No first-reading votes were taken at the work session.
