Simplified Zoning and Planning

Are you thinking about a project for your home or business? Most projects require some type of application process and subsequent review. Most of the requirements are based in State law and are administered on a local level by the Planning Board or the Zoning Board of Appeals. This process may seem confusing but is actually a matter of local officials helping you work through the State and local requlations. An overview of the processes can be found here:

It is recommended that you start the process early - the State sets certain timelines and the approval process may take an average of 30 - 60 days.

Let It Snow.....

Effective De¬cember 1 there is no parking on village streets between
2 am—6 am. This law is in effect until April 1. Please remember to move your car off the street so plows can get through and make the streets safe for drivers.

Also, according to Village Code, all property owners in the Vil¬lage are responsible to clear side¬walks of snow and ice within 24 hours of the end of snowfall. Please do not shovel the snow from sidewalks on to public streets. This could result in a fine.
Keeping the streets and side¬walks clear during the winter months is important not only for the safety of drivers but for people, young and old, that have to walk to school, the grocery store or just to get the paper.
