We are used to seeing gas stations along main roads, unlike HUGE four-story storage facilities. Good God, enough is enough.

Nope, not a developer or contractor. And they're THREE-story monstrosities.

Maybe it's time to pay attention to the public notices for Planning Board meetings and attend those that are listing applications for projects that you might oppose. Is a project you oppose passes then you can always appeal to the Zoning Board. Complaining after the fact accomplishes nothing.

And to reiterate what someone else posted up above, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I wish all of the storage facilities in Gilford looked like the 'monstrosities' rather than a bland beige box or an over-the-top series of garages with ugly orange overhead doors.
