Council denies Conley Law zone-change request after planning board unfavorable recommendation; one councilor recuses
The Town Council voted to deny a zone-change application from Conley Law and Associates after the planning board issued an unfavorable recommendation.

Council President opened the item and noted the planning board's unfavorable ruling, saying he would "entertain a motion to deny the zone change." Councilman Martone announced, "for the record, I'll be recusing on this matter." A motion to deny was made by Councilman Bacala and seconded by Councilman LaPorteo. The council voted in favor and the president said, "Please know for the record that the matter was denied."

The council took the action after the planning board's recommendation; the transcript shows no additional amendments or conditions tied to the denial.

The denial is recorded as the council's formal decision on that application; any further filings or a different application would require reapplication and appropriate public notice.
