What's with all the zoning hearings recently?
While enjoying an ice cream cone at Landhope one recent evening, I spotted on the bulletin board a notice that the East Marlborough Zoning Hearing Board is going to be reviewing plans submitted by Anthony and Shirley Dambro, who want to build a three-story, 24-unit apartment house ("multifamily dwelling," in zoning-speak) along the south side of Route 926 just east of Willowdale (122 E. Street Rd.). They are coming before the board because they need variances "to allow for disturbance of wetlands and associated inner and outer riparian buffers," according to the notice.
They've faced opposition in the past from neighbors concerned about the stormwater runoff and erosion that the development could produce; in fact, scrawled across the bottom of the notice at Landhope were the words "We Don't Want This in Willowdale!"
The meeting will be held at 7 p.m. Tuesday, Aug. 28, at the East Marlborough Township building on Route 82 north of Willowdale (721 Unionville Road).
(Parenthetically, while eating my dessert I overheard an unexpected conversation at the picnic tables about inflation in South American and how Ayn Rand predicted the coming economic collapse.)
