Still no vote on Plymouth junk law
PLYMOUTH – A crowd of 40-plus Plymouth residents needed extra chairs to sit in on the monthly town meeting Monday, many awaiting the fate of a local law that would regulate visible junk piles in the town.
They’ll have to wait another month.
The law already met with a 2-2 tie among board members in August. The fifth and deciding vote, Councilman Robert Baker, was absent.
According to town Supervisor Jerry Kreiner, the board, contrary to previous assertions, will have to hold another public hearing before they can vote again.
The hearing will be at 7:15 p.m. on Monday, Oct. 8, during the next scheduled town meeting.
It was originally believed that a second public hearing was not required if the law was not changed.
“I had originally thought that,” said Kreiner. “But our town attorney (James Downey) said we had to (have another hearing).”
The board did not indicate if the law had been changed.
The board was also short Councilman Baker again last night. He has been traveling for work for six straight weeks, according to a communication he sent to Kreiner.
In the Town of Plymouth, the junk law would prohibit:
• The outdoor storage, deposit or accumulation of junk – junk appliances, furniture, mobile homes, construction equipment, farm equipment – garbage, rubbish, clutter, litter or debris within the sight of people traveling local highways or the sight of nearby properties.
• Junk storage areas within the sight of people traveling local highways or the sight of nearby properties.
• Storing garbage and junk in old buses, mobile homes, trucks, truck trailers for more than 90 days, unless directly tied to farming operations.
• Burning or burying any junk.
However, junk piles that already exist would not be subject to the law, unless the accumulation gets bigger.
