The Zoning Regulations regulate property uses and the locations of structures. The Town Planner is available by appointment during business hours and in the Town Office Building on the listed schedule. Zoning setbacks specify how far from the property lines structures can be built. The Zoning Enforcement Officer (Ext. 260) uses the Zoning Permit application to determine if the proposal meets the required setbacks and if the use of the proposed structure complies with those uses allowed within that zone. The general setbacks in Residential Zones are: Lots w/200 ft. frontage on a road: Front/Rear Yards 50 ft. Side Yard 25 ft. Rear lots: Front/Rear/Side Yards 50 ft. Please review the Zoning Regulations for any special setbacks for the zone in which your parcel is located. When complying with these setbacks, or other requirements of the Zoning Regulations, presents a hardship (other than financial), a Variance may be requested from the Zoning Board of Appeals. Please contact the Planning and Zoning Commission Administrative Assistant at ext: 101 for assistance with this application.
