The <br />Board asked about the prior use of the building and if Ms. Venuto did in fact own the building. <br />She did own the building but did not know much about its prior history. <br />Mr. Jarema explained to Ms. Venuto that the Board would have to consider that the new use <br />would be substantially less detrimental to the neighborhood than the prior use which was as a <br />switching station for Verizon. Ms. Venuto was also asked if she had considered other alternatives <br />for the property and she said she had not. <br />John Arena of 26 Francis Drive voiced his opposition to the proposed project. <br />Ms. Feeley from Main Street voiced her opposition to the proposed project. <br />Mr. Sudeah, next door neighbor, voiced his opposition to the proposed project. <br />Mr. Venuto voiced his approval of his daughter's proposed project. <br />Paul Debenedictis from Main Street voiced his opposition to the proposed project. <br />Mrs. Venuto voiced her approval of her daughter's proposed project. <br />;c <br />ZBA Meeting, November 5, 2009 <br />
