The Manchester Inn was supposed to be turned into condominiums until it burned to the ground in March, 2010. According to zoning, it should have been replaced by a single family house, but the Board of Adjustment gave the owner variances to build two houses and to make them 3 1/2 stories high instead of the zoned 2 1/2 stories. The owner was also allowed to infringe on the flare zone.
The rationale for the variances was that the Manchester Inn was preceded by two historic houses which were replicated in the new houses. This is yet another example where zoning legerdemain prevailed over the protests of citizens.
