Responding to complaints that people are operating businesses in residential neighborhoods, the East Hampton Town board has scheduled a public hearing for later this month on a code revision which would keep light trucks off residential property unless they are used as personal vehicle by the occupants.
The proposal was drafted to deal with complaints that two or three trucks with commercial plates are regularly parked overnight at some houses, with workers coming to pick them up in the morning.
The hearing will be at 7 p.m. Thursday, Aug. 15, in town hall.
