EASTON, MARYLAND — A downtown Easton property could be used for long-term storage of large vehicles if the town's Board of Zoning Appeals grants a special exception at its Tuesday, Oct. 20, meeting at 9 a.m. in Council Chambers at the Easton Town Office, 14 S. Harrison Street.

Parker Counts Law, on behalf of Elliott Equipment Co. Inc., is asking to use 327 N. Aurora St. for long-term storage of large vehicles. The property is in the CB Central Business zoning district, and the request asks the board to treat the storage as a commercial or miscellaneous use not otherwise listed for that district. A special exception is a use the code allows only after the appeals board reviews it and approves it.

The board will hear two variance requests. Phillips Signs Inc., on behalf of Vetagro Inc., wants to display five flags at 9158 Mistletoe Drive in the I Industrial district, one more than the four the town allows on any commercial or industrial parcel at one time. A second request, filed by the law firm Armistead, Lee, Rust & Wright on behalf of a private individual for 307 N. Aurora St., also in the CB district, seeks to put parking within zero feet of the property line, where the code sets a minimum three-foot setback from a street line, sidewalk or property line for residential parking or maneuvering space.

Aurora St. (CB) | Special exception for long-term storage of large vehicles | | V 26-06 | 9158 Mistletoe Drive (I) | Variance to display five flags; four allowed | | V 26-07 | 307 N.

The board meets at 9 a.m. Tuesday, Oct. 20, at 14 S. Harrison Street.
