Code Enforcement
St. Leo's: Currently, the building located at 171 Lake Avenue is for sale. There has been a lot of
interest thus far. Mike expects a proposal forthcoming to change the zoning for this lot.
ECode: This is ready to be placed on our website for use. Mike will be training the Zoning
Board members to use it at their next meeting.
Cats: Residents on Doud Circle have alerted the Board to an ongoing feral cat problem. Mike
has researched other municipalities and found that Brockport has an ordinance in place. After
having a conversation with their Code Enforcement Officer, they have found the code to be
ineffective and have not been able to find a suitable solution for this issue. At this time, the
Board has decided not take action in this matter.
