Land is zoned not buildings. There is no grandfat

Land is zoned not buildings. There is no grandfathering clause, that is simply not correct. To grandfather in there must be a prior land use and in this case there is not. There must be a basis upon which to grandfather in and there is not. If you read the town minutes the towns legal counsel answered a question put to him by a town councilor regarding grandfathering in. He answered in the negative, there is not grandfathering in . The next day Bill said there was. It comes down to whom you believe to be correct. I chose the town counsel.

The value added was restricting the processing, not the growing. Under the towns regulations value added includes packaging, which was going to be done on site so the company did apply for a zoning amendment. The councilors and residents who were happy it (medical mj) will be on industrial land viewed the decision as a victory so those living adjacent to 20 North Rear Road also viewed this as a victory unless their clapping meant they wanted this facility to be zoned industrial so their property values would not go down.
