Meetings of Interest in the Week Ahead

Now that we are settled into summer, the week ahead is light on city meetings. They all happen on Tuesday and Wednesday.

• On Tuesday, July 16, the Common Council Finance Committee meets at 5:30 p.m. at City Hall, and the full Council meets at 7:00 p.m. in the same place. The resolutions to be voted on at the Council meeting can be found here.
• On Wednesday, July 17, the Common Council Public Works and Parks Committee meets at 5:15 p.m. at City Hall. A topic of discussion at this meeting will be the Hudson dog park, to be constructed on the remediated brownfield that was once the site of Foster Refrigerator.

Last Monday, a resolution supporting the dog park and authorizing the mayor to execute a memorandum of understanding for the construction and the governance of the dog park was referred to the Public Works and Parks Committee. All those interested in seeing the dog park become a reality are urged to attend the meeting.  

• At 6:00 p.m. on Wednesday, July 17, the Zoning Board of Appeals will hold public hearings on two applications for variances. The public hearings take place at City Hall. The first is an area variance needed to provide access to a roof deck at 526-528 Warren Street. The access area would exceed the maximum permissible height by 5 feet. The second is an area variance to construct an addition at 226 Union Street that would connect the house on Union Street with the garage on Cherry Alley and build a second story on the garage. The project requires a variance for lot coverage and setback from the eastern lot line. The ZBA plans a site visit to 226 Union Street at 5:15 p.m. on Wednesday, July 17, just prior to the public hearing.
