The Commission is of the opinion that they are not recommending "srot zoning ". We have been reminded, by a recent Supreme Court Decision, that the 25 foot lots alongâ–ş N.W. Highway must be restored to the original "B" 4 zoning, - unless we Pre rrerered to resubdivide these lots to 50 foot. This, we feel, the town is not rrepered to do. The expense of such an undertekinp is rrohibitive.
