Oyster yard access route would violate Tiverton zoning
To the editor:
My name is Richard Metcalf and I live along the Sakonnet River in Tiverton.
Recently a thirty five foot wide parcel of land that abuts our property was purchased for the sole use to have access to a proposed oyster farm located in close proximity from our seawall. This strip of land is zoned R80 which allows farming.
I don't understand how the use of this land for commercial use can be allowed. The farm will be using a gasoline powered power washer periodically at low tide to clean the cages. If the zoned R80 land is used to process and transport the oysters, I feel this is a gross misuse of the zoning requirements in Tiverton and should not be allowed.
