Town of Swanton, VT
Notice is hereby given that the Town of Swanton Selectboard adopted revisions to the “TOWN OF SWANTON ORDINANCE REGARDING ENHANCED 911 ROAD NAMING, ROAD SIGNS, AND ADDRESSING” at its Tuesday, September 25, 2018 special meeting. The Selectboard revised Section IV General Numbering System Guidelines by changing the road numbering increment from 50 feet to 5.28 feet. The 5.28' increment is 1/1000th of a mile which is more effective because it will address narrow, stovepipe lots that are less than 50' wide. It will also allow first responders to calculate the distance to an address by multiplying 5.28' times the street number. For example, multiplying 5.28' times 100 Jones Street = 528'. This tells the first responder that 100 Jones Street is 528' from where Jones Street begins.
In accordance with 24 VSA Sections 1972 & 1973, notice of these adopted revisions is being published in a local newspaper and on the Town of Swanton website (www.townofswantonvermont.weebly.com) within 14 days of the date of adoption. Qualified voters of the Town of Swanton who oppose the adopted revisions have the right to petition for a vote on the revisions at an annual or special meeting as provided in 24 VSA Section 1973. Unless a petition is filed within 44 days of the adoption, the adopted revisions shall become effective on November 24, 2018. Requests for more information, questions, or comments on the adopted revisions may be directed to Town Administrator David Jescavage at 868-7418 or by emailing at townadmin@swantonvermont.org or by writing to P.O. Box 711, Swanton, VT 05488.

PUBLIC NOTICE
Town of Swanton, VT
Notice is hereby given that the Town of Swanton Selectboard adopted revisions to the “TOWN OF SWANTON, VT DOG ORDINANCE” at its Tuesday, August 21, 2018 regular meeting. The Selectboard revised the title of the ordinance by deleting “& WOLF HYBRID” from the title and other sections where it appears because the definition of dog in the ordinance includes wolf hybrid. The Selectboard deleted the words “domestic pet” or “pet” wherever they appear in the ordinance to clarify that the ordinance only deals with dogs/wolf hybrids. Wording was added to Section Three requiring a collar or harness to which shall be securely fastened a metal license tag and a metal tag with the name and address of the owner whenever such dog is “off the premises of the dog’s owner.” Section Six has been revised to read, “DOGS AT LARGE - Any dog at large which causes property damage or creates a nuisance or viciously attacks a person or a domestic animal on private or public property may be impounded by the Enforcement Officer or Animal Control Officer upon a signed written complaint by the owner, legal occupant, or supervisor of the property. Please see the definition of “at large” in Section One. Please also see Sections Five and Eleven.” Section Seven has been revised by replacing the word “premises” with the word ”property” in the first sentence, by replacing the words “on same” with the word “there” in the second sentence, and by replacing the word “will” with the word “shall” in the third sentence. Section Eight has been revised by adding the word “written” before the word “complaint” in the second sentence. Section Eight has also been revised by adding the words “within twelve months of the original complaint” to the last sentence. Section Thirteen has been revised by deleting the words “postage paid” from the second sentence. Section Thirteen has also been revised by replacing the words “be continuing” with the word “continues” in the next to last sentence.
In accordance with 24 VSA Sections 1972 & 1973, notice of these adopted revisions is being published in a local newspaper and on the Town of Swanton website (www.townofswantonvermont.weebly.com) within 14 days of the date of adoption.
