The town clerk said it was fine as long as the neighbors didn't complain (which they never have).<BR/><BR/>When this all came down, they did apply for a permit, and it was determined that the Maynard Zoning Code allows for businesses like this without a special permit. The Zoning Board of Appeals voted unanimously in support of that interpretation. It seemed it was over.<BR/><BR/>Then the town building commissioner inserted himself into the mix, and said that he wasn't in support of "dog businesses" in Maynard, and shut them down (yes, unilaterally).<BR/><BR/>They did do the right things. I don't know where the "risk" that you speak of comes in if you are told by your town (including the Zoning Board) to go right ahead. <BR/><BR/>It's all just been frustrating, and I'm mostly glad they've found a location elsewhere. Yay, them!42pennieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06868809256190751948noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37290344.post-51778912831001476112009-02-24T22:58:00.000-05:002009-02-24T22:58:00.000-05:00I just read the Beacon-Villager about this one.

If that is true, they didn't they run the risk by operating to begin with?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
