Thinking about adding that deck to your house? Not sure what you need to do? First visit the Planning and Zoning Department Web site or call Town Planner Shirley Rasmussen or her administrative assistant, Patty Torre, at the department office located in Town Hall. (They share an office with building and engineering departments.)
The Planning and Zoning Department works to ensure that guidelines are followed for both resident and commercial property owners. Both the Pine Orchard and Short Beach areas maintain different zoning regulations; you can find more information about these regulations by heading to the town's planning and zoning Web site.
