CONWAY — Highlighting the Conway Zoning Board of Adjustment's agenda tonight will be request for a special exception from Settlers Green developer Robert Barsamian, who seeks increased density for a building comprising 20 workforce housing units to go up on a 1.5-acre lot just south of DQ Grill and Chill in North Conway.
The developers want a variance to allow 18.2 units per acre at 1549 White Mountain Highway (permitted density is 12 units per acre).
