To the editor:

On May 20 there was an email about volunteers being needed to serve on the “Resilience and Energy Committee and Zoning Board review.  

Zoning Board? 

It is blatantly obvious that there isn’t one, or that whoever is on it now does not have complete understanding of the job or interest in it. Has anyone in the town government really looked at the houses that are being built here? On my street is a “small ranch house” that looks like it is on steroids and takes up most of the land it is being built on and is almost finished.  

I wonder if there is a need for an examination of the current zoning laws. And after that there should be a regard for the adherence to whatever zoning laws that are already on the books. It seems that there is a need to have real attention paid to them. Crowding and expanded construction looks like it is becoming the norm.
