Ordinance Review Committee
Annual Report
The Ordinance Review Committee is an advisory committee to the Town Council. We meet on the first Thursday of each month in Stimson Hall. This year our most demanding project was the review of the Gravel Pit Ordinance. Council approved that ordinance. Not all of the proposed ordinances are supported by the Ordinance Review Committee or passed by council. An amendment to the Street Construction Ordinance regarding sidewalks was discussed and not enacted. A voluntary Historic Preservation ordinance was reviewed and the council asked for volunteers to form an historic committee and work on the implementation of the proposed ordinance. There were no volunteers. We work on a revision to the Back-lot Ordinance, which was tabled due to court action involving a back-lot. Much time was spent discussing changes to the Village
Aquifer Protection zone, Wellhead 1 and Wellhead 2 zones. These changes would result in a new Village Center Zone. The last action that is close to completion is the addition of Agritourism in the RRA zone. The Ordinance Review Committee is now charged with the review of the proposed zoning changes throughout the town. This is very important work and I hope that everyone will feel free to give us your thoughts as we continue to plan for the growth of the Town of Gray.
Respectfully submitted,
William Getz, Acting Chair
