I know it doesn'r effect most of you,but just imagine if the town decided to change to zoning on YOUR street and it greatly reduced the value your home......perhaps that home will be the source of your retirement income,or perhaps your kids education.
I sure don't want to see an Appleby's next door to my Village Kitchen,but anyone ought to be free to open a little shop or a bed and breakfast on their property if they wish.

Thanks for this. It's the best explanation of what this zoning change could do to the town. Some days I wake up and think I've been transported to Vermont when I see bad zoning laws like this. That said: I'm not against strict zoning if it's applied properly. There are no easy answers concerning zoning issues.
