New P&Z Ordinance:

I obtained a copy of ToE Ordinance 2014-05 (Planning Commission) from the Town Clerk which is archived on Drive.  I will post a link to the ToE website as soon as the ordinance is available there.  This ordinance amends and supersedes Ordinance 1999-S which I have moved into the folder containing outdated ordinances.  

Added 11/01/2014:  The new Planning Commission Ordinance is now posted at the ToE website in the Planning and Zoning section devoted to agendas and minutes.

Commission and Council agendas have been published:

The P&Z agenda for November 4 and the preliminary Council agenda for November 5 are both available at the ToE website. Copies are also available on Drive (copy of P&Z agenda; copy of Council agenda).

Note that the Zoning Ordinance and the Subdivision Ordinance which were adopted in August of this year have been re-opened to public comment for the purpose of further revisions. (See the agendas for November 4 and November 5.)
