PLANNING 11

Code Enforcement

Occasionally, the Town uses the Code of Ordinances to ensure dilapidated structures are properly secured. It can often take months for a property owner to bring their property into compliance. If a property owner is unable to bring a property into compliance, the Town can remove a structure that is structurally unsafe. Below is an example of an abandoned home located at 611 Church Street that was structurally unsafe, and subsequently demolished by the Town this quarter.

Sign Code Update

The Town of Morrisville welcomed a consultant for the sign code update on July 11 and 12 to kick-off the project and conduct a number of stakeholder interviews. A report of key recommendations is currently in progress and will be presented at public meetings before the Town Council and Planning & Zoning Board by the end of the year. After presentations and further discussion, the consultant will begin drafting proposed text changes to the sign code, and a public hearing will be held. Completion of the project is expected in summer of 2018.
