Citizens Wishing to Address the Board
Mr. Bob Cimaglio, owner of Digital Direct on Main Street, presented his request to separate the property to make it more viable to sell. Director Garrigan discussed options such as a plat of condominium, a plat of subdivision, and sees no issues with zoning but the potential for a variance. He discussed the necessary procedure and said they would need separation of the buildings before the process could begin.
Trustee Dominiak arrived at 7:43 pm.
