Tyrone considers development moratorium

Tyrone's leaders

are expected to call for a moratorium on its newest zoning category tonight.

Town Manager

Barry Amos said the limited use residential category replaces the old

PUD zoning, which the Town Council eliminated.

But in eliminating

the category, the town will have to agree to take in the John Wieland

Southhampton subdivision as part of the limited use district.

"We discovered

that we couldn't issue permits for swimming pools and accessory buildings

for a zoning category that didn't exist," he said.

After the town

approves Wieland in the new category, it will then have to establish a

moratorium on building in the category.

The reason?

One of the

requirements for limited use residential is that it be served by a municipally-owned

sewer system. Tyrone's new sewer system is out of capacity, so...

"Nobody

can use this zoning category," he said.

The meeting

starts at 7:30 p.m.
