For more than two hours Tuesday night, Planning & Zoning Commission Chairman Christopher Schaut read letters into the record during the continued public hearing on the Manor House Inn application.
Zoning enforcement officer Stacey Sefcik’s records show 37 letters clearly favored the application and 26 were in opposition, including a package of information from “Neighbors of the Manor House.” Two petition sheets with a total of 11 signatures supported Manor House.
Two letters neither favored nor supported the application, but rather posed questions or offered suggestions.
Three Stewards Real Estate, LLC, owner of the Manor House, which is operating as a country inn, has applied for a modification of an existing special permit and an associated site plan modification. The application has attracted strong public interest and the first part of the hearing, held in January, packed the Hall of Flags at Botelle School with people who wished to offer testimony or simply to learn more about the application.
No oral testimony was taken Tuesday.
The application calls for an addition to the amenities offered by the inn. Before Tuesday’s session, the applicant granted a 21-day continuance via email so the commission could keep the public hearing open until the P&Z’s March 11 meeting.
