Mayor forms panel as San Marino clash over Smith Building loosens
At a lengthy city council session Mayor Lynn Reithauer postponed a ruling on Smith Building expansion and created a compromise committee. Neighbors from San Marino Avenue and Ridgeway Road decried intrusion of commercialism in the A-1 residential zone, citing a second story mezzanine and a banking use. Residents warned of creeping traffic and floodlights, while supporters from the savings and loan framed the project as strengthening the town’s residential character. The committee includes council members, Smith Building owner Richard Stone Mortimer Chehock, and building officials.
