Ho stated that he felt that as soon as a farm is sold for other purposes, it should become subject to the zoning restrictions regulating its use. Mr. McGory asked-if tire Harrington would be in favor of free permits. No conclusive decision was made on this point, _ Mr. Lucente asked if we would consider making the lot restrictions as to size in square feet instead of lenght and width measuements, since some lots might be on circles, with long depths but short frontages. After a short discussion, this suggestion was dismissed. Bringing out hearing notes, a comphrehensive review of the proposed. ordinance was begun.
