Zoning Board Debates Ordinance Revision and District Changes
The Zoning Board of Review discussed revising the 1931 town zoning ordinance at its monthly meeting in Burnside Memorial Building. Secretary Frederick T. Goff urged a district by district forum and map revision with town council and planning board input, and a proposal for a zoning clinic to involve residents. The board also voted to deny Joseph DiDonna’s request to rezone Metacom Avenue for an auto repair shop amid resident opposition and tabled a separate zoning change for a gasoline station pending clearer information and required signatures.
