At a double hearing in Manchester the Board of Adjustment rejected Herrmanns bid to add a second apartment above the UCS office and a rental unit, and denied the Rounds renewal to reopen the Old English Inn. The panel found the Herrmann plan conflicted with 10k square foot per unit rules, while the Rounds failed to prove a pre existing nonconforming use or meeting variance criteria. The Rounds withdrew their conversion plan after the ruling, and Evans said the decision may be appealed by referendum.
