Review an updated site plan for Honor Harvey “Briskette&Birdie”, located at 13361 State Route 22. Thank you,

Canaan residents, The new year started off with an anonymous letter written and distributed to rile residents and to muddy the waters around a proposed new local law regulating Short-Term Rentals. The unidentified writer misrepresented the purpose and content of the law and pitted neighbor against neighbor.   The letter and its rhetoric do not represent the values of the Town of Canaan nor her people.  Canaan is a town for everyone, including multi-generational families, families and individuals who have moved and made their homes here, those with weekend or seasonal homes, and the people whose travels bring them to our beautiful town. Maintaining, health, safety and the quality of life are important priorities in a small rural town such as ours. That is why hundreds of local municipalities have already enacted laws to regulate short-term rentals and their impact on communities.    If you want to know more about the local law, the most recent draft is posted on the town website. A revised draft will be posted prior to the next Public Hearing. Please check the website for any updates of the draft law, meeting dates, or additional information. Town Board Canaan,...
