Saco Zoning Case In Superior Court
Opening arguments in York county Superior court test the city of Saco zoning ordinances over Francis MacDonald operating a trucking terminal on Ocean Park road. City Solicitor Brickates argues the area is a limited business zone under ordinances enacted in 1958 with a planning board formed in 1957 and a master plan adopted. MacDonald’s counsel Harvey contends two public hearings and a two thirds legislative approval were required before zoning changes.
