Auto Shop Wins Zoning OK After Protest In Frederick
Skip's Auto Repair Shop at 214 Broadway won unanimous approval from the Frederick Board of Zoning Appeals after a neighbor protested changes to an existing non conforming use. The case centered on enclosing a concrete pad with a metal building, with city zoning administrator Catherine Parks ruling the enclosure an intensification not requiring BIA approval. Neighbor William T Wood appealed, but the BIA upheld Parks's decision as within rights for the small business. Alderman Blaine Young and about 15 neighbors supported the shop, praising its operations and community role.
