Discuss Code Review Recommendations: RECOMMENDATION FROM THE TOWN OF EDEN CODE REVIEW COMMITTEE To: Rich Ventry, Supervisor Eden Town Board Members From: Frank Meyer, Chairman Town of Eden Code Review Committee Re: Recommended Code Changes - Various Date: 03/27/2026 • After reviewing the issue of snow removal onto neighboring properties, the Code Review Committee suggests no action to be taken on this matter. This would be a civil matter between neighbors and not under the purview of the Town. Additionally, addressing once specific issue could lead to requests to adjudicate others i.e. falling leaves, pet droppings, etc. • Town Code §225-16 (B) Accessory Uses currently reads: Accessory-specific supplemental use regulations. (1) Agricultural accessory uses. Barns, silos and produce storage and packing warehouses, and other such similar incidental and supporting structures associated with agricultural operations, provided that such accessory buildings shall conform to the yard requirements for principal buildings. 1
