TO1fll GARAGE SITE:
Selectmen Guthrie, Coad~ & Kirk appeared before the Board to discuss the
.possible re-so~-_- of the site for the proposed faun garage. It ia presently in
an R~+ district and they feel' that probably it should be zoned to Industrial to
~_s~_~ the garage an allowed use. This site was do_n_~ted to the"~'~r'"thi~ purpose
and according to Town Co~nsel, it cannot be u~ed fo~ an~ other purpose by the toun.
Tho erus had previously bean z~ned induetr~al but under the new Zon~nf By-law was
chan~ed to Residence ~. The site cempriaes approx. ~.~ acres. It is proposed to
