res.dents of Thomson Road. Friday mght petitioned a town board to pcr.ai.2e a builder who allegetily his hcus outside umits outlined in the zoning and town planning regulations. The hearing, before the Town Plan and Zon.r.g Board in the Municipal Building, involved a resicsenec at 26 Thomson Road, owned bv Maple. recently compelled by The Board of to a chimney that reduced the required vard area.

Dennis's hou.se st 33 Thomson Read, but tabled action on 26 Thomson Road pending further investigation. Tetition For Denial. Twenty-one residents submitted a long petition to the Town Plan and Zoning Board, pointing out. various reasons why Maple. should be compe'led to shear part of the front, of the structure off, or move the entire house back.

The petition said, part: "We believe the Town Plan and Zoning Board should make no exception and should enforce its regulations. Otherwise, whv the regulations. No other builder on the road became involved and manv houses have been ed. We cannot see how two identical mistakes could happen on each of two houses without knowledge of the builder. Proper supervision would have uncovered the error immediately.

"Zones, codes, building lines are instituted for a very real and important reason. When a law is broken, the law breaker is penalized. Consequently, when a builder infringes upon the building code and does not comply with certain building restrictions, he should be penalized." "Enough Punishment." lUwver Walfrid G. Lundborg. representing Maple.

said his clients had been punished enough by being compelled to remove the chimney at 26 Thomson Road. He said the cost of remodelling the front oi tne house to bring it back of the building line would be prohibitive. A neighbor of 26 Thomson Road. Samuel G.
