While the defeat of that petition article eliminated a future roadblock, unfortunately Ames Farm still is not free to restart boat launching. They had been shut down as they are in a residential zone that does not include commercial boat launching as a permitted use. That certain lawyer led a successful fight the get the ZBA to overrule the planning board who had determined that launching was a grandfathered use.

So it will probably take a zoning change. Maybe another citizen petition next year? No to involuntary merging today, yes to public launching tomorrow?
