ZONING UPDATE MEETING- FOCUSING ON JACKSONVILLE
Town of Ulysses Jacksonville Zoning Session
When: Monday, June 6, 2016, 7:00-9:00 pm
**Doors open and pizza served starting at 6:30 pm**
Location: Jacksonville Methodist Church Fellowship Hall, 1871 Trumansburg Rd, Jacksonville
Jacksonville residents and neighbors are invited to this public meeting. The meeting will provide a brief
overview of the zoning update project and the current zoning in Jacksonville. Discussion topics will include
growth and density, design standards, geographic limits of the hamlet, and important aspects of current
regulations to keep or change.
In 2009, the Town of Ulysses updated its Comprehensive Plan that includes the Town vision to preserve,
protect, and “support agricultural sustainability, open space conservation, a balanced approach to economic
development, and revitalization of village and hamlet centers.” The Comprehensive Plan recommendations
for the Jacksonville hamlet include residential and mixed-use buildings, community facilities and social
institutions, and parks/open space. New development should consider pedestrian uses, and design
standards should be incorporated so that the historic character and scale of Jacksonville continues.
We hope to see you there and hear from you on this important topic to guide future land use development in
the Jacksonville area.

IS YOUR POOL UP TO CODE?
Tom Myers, Code Enforcement Officer, sends the following update:
Now that the outdoor temperatures are finally starting to warm up, there are some maintenance matters that
are important to address. Some folks in the Town have pools, in ground and above ground. It is time to take
a look at them to make certain all guards and alarms are in place and functional. It is also important to look
at the water and see what condition it is in. If pool water is left untreated it becomes stagnant and creates

ideal conditions for breeding mosquitoes. The NYS Property Maintenance Code states:
SECTION 303 SWIMMING POOLS‚ SPAS AND HOT TUBS

good repair.
