ZBA2009-4 Appeal of the decision of Zoning Agent (section 7.07.04) 88 River Road (Map 10 Lot 17 Zone R80) Owner/Applicant: Paula Beebe (Received August 13, 2009 Public Hearing by October 8, 2009 decision within 65 days after close of P.H.)
P. Beebe spoke to the Board Members about her appeal. She stated she would like to continue to use the out side stairway, and that the Zoning Agent wanted her to use the inside stair way.

R. Maloney made a motion to adjourn. A Poole seconded the motion. All voted in favor.
