Permits Denied in Pownal for Route 7 Additions
At a Pownal Planning Commission meeting, Vera Tornabene’s request for a liquor store addition on Route 7 was denied for conditional use and rear setback concerns, with a public hearing to be scheduled. Phillip Frost’s plan to add two eight by ten foot extensions to a former diner building on Route 7 was denied for being within 50 feet of a brook, and a public hearing will be held later. The board also scheduled hearings on two rear setback variance requests for Joseph Tornabene and on a Charlestown Mill Store retail sweater venture on Route 7. The next meeting is Sept 16 at 7 30 p.m.
