Unleashed dogs may again be allowed during early morning hours on some beaches thanks to a petition from some neighbors in the area.
At the monthly meeting Tuesday, Town Council members unanimously approved on first reading an ordinance that would modify the town code to permit dogs off their leashes from dawn until 9 a.m on the public beaches between Wells Road and Sunset Avenue.
The ordinance will go before the council for final approval in June.
Deputy Town Manager Jay Boodheshwar told the Daily News that staff had recommended the change to the ordinance after receiving a petition signed by former council member Michael Pucillo and 39 other residents in the area requesting the council reverse an earlier decision.
