 The property is located on Parcel 1209 on Tax Map 0302 and more particularly described as 7362 Timmons Street Lot 4.

The Variance is being requested due to property owner not meeting the requirements in the R-2 Zoning Ordinance. An 800 square foot structure   is required. Applicant proposes a 1200 square foot structure.

The property is posted with a Public Notice and persons wishing to comment should attend said meeting and be heard.

The Commissioners of the Town of Pittsville and the Pittsville Police Department would like to take the opportunity to publicly thank Holly Kia of Selbyville for their support and assistance.

When Tim Fowler, Service Manager for Selbyville Holly Kia (and Pittsville resident), learned that the Town of Pittsville had created a Municipal Police Department, he immediately contacted us and extended a most generous offer. He advised us that Selbyville Holly Kia would like to show their support for law enforcement by offering us complimentary oil changes and other routine services.

We were humbled by this most generous show of support. Since then we have been taking two vehicles to Selbyville Holly Kia  at 5000 mile intervals and with their assistance we will surely get the most use out of our patrol units.

To Tim Fowler and everyone at Selbyville Holly Kia – thank you so much for you support during these trying times!

TOWN OF PITTSVILLE

PARK OPENING

The Town of Pittsville has authorized the opening of the Town’s Municipal Park located off Pearl Street.

Social Distancing is still required and the congregation of no more than ten (10) people in one area is encouraged.

TOWN WIDE DITCH CUTTING

The Town of Pittsville has engaged a private contractor to begin the town wide ditch cutting/clearing of the storm water ditches throughout town. This project and process will begin June 15th and will continue for the next several months until completed.

During this time, the Town would appreciate all property owners/residents cooperation in removing any structure, equipment, and other obstacle within twenty (20) feet of the edge of the ditches, the right of way (row) easement in order to enable the contractor to properly cut/clear the ditch for maintenance.

Also, the contractor will be operating in a manner that will prioritize the ditches to be maintained so that all can be addressed during this time. For instance, the contractor may be in various areas before completing a specific section. However, as long as the area is cleared of any obstructions, the contractor will be cutting/clearing all ditches.

Anyone requiring further clarification on this very important project undertaken by the Town, should contact the Town Hall. We thank you in advance for your cooperation and understanding as we continue and complete this project.
