Town Commissioners — 2021-05-26

This document combines the agenda and minutes for the Queenstown Town Commissioners meeting on May 26, 2021. The Board held a closed session to discuss contract and personnel matters and to obtain legal advice, then opened the regular meeting where the main public discussion concerned recent enforcement letters about boats stored in front yards. Multiple residents spoke—some asking the Town to amend the ordinance to allow driveway storage or provide a storage lot, others supporting the current rule to protect property values—and Town Attorney Lyndsey Ryan described the process for text amendments. Commissioner Hardee stated the Town will not enforce the front-yard boat restriction while amendments are being considered; commenters also suggested surveying boat owners, noted limits on adding slips at the town landing, and discussed the need for objective enforcement standards. The agenda also listed ongoing projects (I&I, water tower & infrastructure, Wheatland’s Project, speed on Main St, boat ramp improvements, town dock projects including Harbormaster and code enforcement resolutions), Ordinance 21-01 on the Property Maintenance Code, contract review for Susquehanna Operational Services, a Board of Appeals vacancy, and a fundraiser for Amy’s Army.
