BInterpretation Appeal: 105-107 Washington, A & M Partners, LLC owners, Tax Map #012, Block P, Lot 018 in the B-2b Community Business Zone. On August 2, 2007 the Zoning Board of Appeals denied the applicant’s Interpretation Appeal regarding the use of the premises for a State Department of Corrections Parole Office, and upheld the Zoning Administrator’s interpretation of the Ordinance. The applicant appealed the Board’s decision to the Superior Court, which on February 26, 2008 remanded the case back to the Board. The Court directed the Board to specifically address the arguments made by the applicant in the initial Interpretation Appeal, and to provide findings of fact that sufficiently support the Board’s decision. Lawrence R. Clough of Tompkins, Clough, Hirshon & Langer, P.A. represents the owner.
