The Marion Codification Committee will bring forward more Bylaw Improvements for Fall Town Meeting. In 2016, the Town of Marion hired General Code, a consultant company who specializes in reviewing municipal bylaws for content and conflict. General Code provided some 280 comments on discrepancies, ambiguities, and misplaced items in the Town of Marion bylaws.
The Bylaw Codification Committee, a subcommittee of the Planning Board, has since been meeting regularly to resolve the comments. Similar proposed corrections and improvements have been submitted at subsequent Town Meetings.
For this Fall Town Meeting, another set of improvements to various sections in the Marion bylaws will be provided. Some are filling blank zoning determinations in the Table of Use Regulations, changing titles, removing duplicate sections, adding clarification language, removing wording redundant to the MA Building Code, defining the volume of a building, among other changes.
The Planning Board is holding a public hearing on Monday,October 7at 7:20 pm on the proposed bylaw changes for this Fall Town Meeting. Anyone interested is invited to attend the public hearing or visit the Planning Board Office to view the text of these proposals.
