Town Council - Aug 12, 2026
Owner Ramazan Genc wants his seven historic lots fully restored as two parcels as originally deeded, but state law blocks part of that because an old outbuilding straddles a lot line counts as a voluntary merger. The Council worries that bending the rule would set a precedent for the whole neighborhood; the decision is now due September 9.
