Front Royal Town Council Looks to Tackle Variety of Issues in August Work Session
Agenda Features School Zone Speeding, Short-Term Rentals, and Town Bridge Naming Discussions
The upcoming Front Royal Town Council work session, scheduled for Monday, August 7, 2023, promises to tackle a broad spectrum of issues, spanning from school zone speeding to the potential naming of town bridges. The session will be held at the Town Hall Conference Room and broadcast live for those who wish to tune in remotely.
Chief Magalis will spearhead the session with a discussion on old business concerning school zone speeding and its enforcement. This has been a subject of increasing concern, and the community is eagerly waiting for a feasible resolution.
Slated for public hearings on August 28th are several noteworthy items, with the focus predominantly falling on short-term rentals. Specifically, the rentals at 912 Virginia Avenue, and 417 Kerfoot Avenue, are both set to be discussed by Lauren Kopishke. Additionally, Kopishke is to discuss the special use permit for two apartments at 1127 N. Royal Avenue.
The consent agenda on August 28th includes a resolution for a blanket project funding commitment, bids for various grades of stone and asphalt for FY24, and items under agreement with VDOT. Town council members Michelle Campbell and R Boyer will lead these discussions.
In the realm of new business, revisions to the Liaison Committee Meeting Policy, dedication/naming of town bridges, and discussion on Chapter 175 related to short-term rentals will take center stage. Vice Mayor Sealock, the Town Manager, and Councilman Rappaport are expected to lead these conversations.
Wrapping up the session, proclamations for International Overdose Awareness Day (August 31) and Recovery Month (September) are slated to be discussed. This will be followed by a closed meeting and subsequent adjournment. Residents of Front Royal and interested parties can view the meeting online, highlighting the council’s commitment to transparency and public involvement.
