CONWAY — At the Conway Zoning Board of Adjustment meeting that ran nearly until midnight on Wednesday, the ZBA allowed two of three artworks at Settlers Green to remain but decided to clip the “Wings” mural, though one member said there could be a possible path to allowing it to stay.
Settlers Green principal owner Rob Barsamian and his attorney, Derek Lick of Sulloway & Hollis of Concord, went before the ZBA to make the case that murals on store buildings at the outlet village deserve to stay even though town zoning officer Jeremy Gibbs flagged them as violating the sign ordinance.
Interesting that Mr. Colbath said The town make seek expert advice to rewrite the ordinance. I know for a fact that The Institute for Justice, offered to help them to devise one at no charge as they had done for other locations across the US. The town said no to the pro bono services offered.
