Board grants Washington General Store a setback variance to add ADA deck

The Town of Washington Zoning Board of Adjustments voted June 22 to grant a 32-foot variance that will allow the Washington General Store to build an open, ADA-compliant deck within an 18-foot side setback. Owner Kelli Seibold told the board the deck "would be more accessible being ADA compliant. This would also add a safety valve, providing another emergency exit." The board recorded neighbor support in the form of a signed consent letter from the Dozois family.
