When the Urbanna Town Council meets on Thursday, Oct. 13, it may discuss a proposed ordinance that could replace the town’s existing tall grass and junk ordinances. Officials have said the new ordinance would be easier to enforce.
Town Attorney Andrea Erard told council the General Assembly has tweaked enforcement procedures and has added “clutter” as a nuisance category. The proposed ordinance “is not something entirely new,” said Erard. “It’s just an updated and easier to enforce ordinance.”
At its Sept. 22 meeting, Erard told council the current ordinance is “out of sync” with state law.
