Meetings of Interest in the Week Ahead

A day into the week, here are the meetings taking place in the next three days.

• Tonight, Tuesday, October 16, the Common Council Finance Committee meets at 5:30 p.m., and the Common Council holds its regular monthly meeting at 7:00 p.m. Both meetings take place in the Community Room of the Hudson Area Library, 51 North Fifth Street.
• Tomorrow, Wednesday, October 17, the Zoning Board of Appeals meets at 6:00 p.m. at City Hall. It is expected that the public hearing on the addition and the new construction proposed at the rear of 17-19 Union Street, a project that requires four area variances, will be continued. 

The public hearing on this project was opened at the August meeting of the ZBA. At that meeting, Jason O'Toole presented the project to the ZBA and the public, because the owner of the property, Steve Dunn, is a member of the ZBA and had to recuse himself. The ZBA received a letter from the owner of the adjacent property at 15½ Union Street, which raised questions that O'Toole could not answer. For that reason, the public hearing was kept open. The September meeting of the ZBA was canceled for lack of a quorum, so the public hearing will undoubtedly continue at this month's ZBA meeting.

• On Thursday, October 18, the Common Council Economic Development Committee meets at 6:00 p.m. at City Hall. No agenda for this meeting is as yet available.
