CONWAY — In a change in strategies, Settlers Green developer Robert Barsamian withdrew his request for two variances for his two proposed housing projects from the Conway Zoning Board of Adjustment last week but said this week he still plans to appear before the board May 18 to seek special exceptions instead.

“They wouldn’t allow us to change our earlier requested waiver to a special exception without reapplying — so it was a technicality,” Barsamian told the Sun after the board’s April 20 session. “We are planning to file to be on the agenda for a special exception for the next ZBA meeting.”
