Zoning Board Allows Clothing Store to Stay Open in Historic Zone
The Zoning Appeals Board overruled the Historic Preservation Commission permitting a new clothing business to continue in a former IGA and Big R site. Building idle over a year due to court steps, the status only returned to inactive in July 1971 per Charlton Smith II. Further action on signs rests with the Preservation Commission and building inspector. Atty. Harold Carroll cited 1968 approval for Ralph Curtis Hillcrest subdivision, noting three acres per house lot and $30,000 in road sewer and water work with stalled results. The board sought legal advice. Warren Somers received a summer season variance to set up a booth selling boat ride tickets.
