Sandy Hook OMB nt-tm The Zoning Board of Appeals has reached decisions on severs! requests presented at a recent hearing. That of Peter Chapde- aine for public tennis courts in a residential zone and Arvid Ericr son for an auto body shop on South Main street were denied. Mr. Chapdelaine had asked a variance to permit public tennis courts and public instruction in tennis on his property on Meadowbrook road, on a tee paying basis. The Zoning Board Appeals stated that "the board appreciates Newtown's.

heeds for more recreational facilities and supports the acquisition of such facilities, but the board feels that the power to determine what are the needs of Newtown with reference to the use of real property located in it, and to legislate in what manner those needs will be satisfied, is by statute, vested exclusively in the Planning and Zoning commission." The denial of Mr. Ericson's request was due to the fact that the requested general repairers license, if would increase the traffic hazards in the area of Route 25, Sims lane and Apple- blossom lane.
