Winona Approves Ordinance On Garage Sales
July 28, 2016 at 4:25 p.m.
WINONA LAKE - The Town Council today approved an ordinance to regulate the amount of time a garage sale is in session.
The ordinance gives definitions of garage sales, reasons for the ordinance and time limit for garage sales.
The council discussed the problem of perpetual garage sales in the area at the last meeting and decided to do something about it.
Councilman David Delp said it is OK for people to have garage sales but "five or six weeks is kind of ridiculous."
The time limits on garage sales are: only four sales per calendar year may be conducted from any one location, and one garage sale may not exceed 54 hours. There also must be a period of eight days between sales at any one specific location.
In other business:
• There will be a meeting of the CR 250E Committee Thursday at 7 p.m. to clear up some concerns.
• The Nikken Group, an environmental group, is coordinating a project to clean up the weed problem around the railroad tracks on Winona Avenue. This cleanup will be Oct. 21.
• Grace Village Retirement Center will have an open house Oct. 7 from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m., according to councilman Jeff Carroll. Carroll said this will give the public the chance to see what's going on at Grace Village.
The council members are: president Jerry Clevenger, David Delp, Rolly Ortega, Jeff Carroll and Craig Snow. [[In-content Ad]]
