Zoning Board Reform Urged In Village Editorial
An editorial urges the village trustees to survey the zoning problem and curb the zoning board of appeals from using variances to alter property use. It notes past conflicts, recalls a failed apartment amendment near Hutson House, and calls for careful study of restricting railroad-adjacent zones. It also humorously invokes a one horse plow to spark action on dangerous, snowbound Broadway sidewalks and advocates immediate or ordinance-driven sidewalk clearance.
