There is a facebook page "No Dollar General Sanborn House". Very interesting read. It appears after 2 continuance requests and in spite of the town people objections that the developer still is moving forward. Well it takes a village and it seems this village does not want the store in their small town. Only time will tell if the planning board listens to the townspeople and turns down the application as it does not conform to current building codes and town vision statements. BTW Planning Board members are elected positions! They will listen to the voters if they are interested in reelection.....

Zoning laws are just that.
What kind of a zoning board would violate the laws?
We are a country of laws. If those citizens don't like the laws they can change them.
If any business meets the laws - then they go in. Or the town gets a lawsuit.
I don't think that anyone wants a lawsuit.
Understand some folks don't want such a business. But not wanting cannot violate the zoning laws of any city or town.
