Alternate Klaff plan unveiled for Post Road setback dispute
The owners presented two Klaff building plans to the Zoning Board of Appeals, one rejecting curb setbacks and an alternate proposal aligning with a 54 foot curb setback near the Library. No action was taken. The plan references a $1,667,000 expansion in a five year forecast, with questions about town benefit and self-sufficiency. A Transit District funding request to raise its budget to $74,000 drew heavy scrutiny amid assumed UMTA grants and required subsidy maintenance.
