Resident asks board to clarify whether attached garage counts as accessory structure under town code

Willie Alexander (S1) told the board he is preparing to build an attached garage and asked trustees to add three specific land-use code questions to the next board packet: (1) whether an attached garage is considered an accessory structure under the town’s land-use code; (2) whether stormwater-management rules exempt accessory structures from certain requirements; and (3) whether the code still requires a registered/ professional geologist report for grading and rock cut work and what the state means by 'professional geologist.'

Alexander said he and staff had discussed his project with Baseline Engineering and requested the board provide explicit direction or clarifications at a future meeting; he plans to participate by Zoom if he is out of town when the board discusses the item.
