What's on this agenda

Morrisville's town council has the Transit Oriented Development Plan and its zoning down for a decision, billed on the agenda as the last of three sessions after a public hearing in September and a staff update later that month. A resolution would approve the plan, backed by attachments on road projects near the district, a nonconforming property in the Longfellow area, open house feedback, and a traffic impact analysis added late to the packet.

It was not the last session. The council had already scheduled a vote for 26 September and not taken one, and it did not adopt the plan on 14 November until the hearing had been continued four times since it opened on 12 September. The council also gets a first briefing on a resolution amending the town's Administrative Policy for Appointed Public Bodies, with a vote set for October 24. Five proclamations open the meeting, covering fire prevention, crime prevention, domestic violence awareness, community planning, and bullying prevention, along with staff presentations on a state road funding round and a county tree canopy study.

Summarized from the published agenda. Read the agenda itself before acting on it.
