Close vote on Minturn Farm zoning ordinance sparks debate
At a tense meeting the council narrowly approved amendments to Minturn Farm zoning, despite opposition from Capone and others. Proponents argued the ordinance protects development needs and jobs, while opponents warned it could condemn 900 homes as non conforming and hinder future industrial or school needs. The session featured a long debate on public input, sewer and water considerations, and the town’s control over land use.
