They are to resubmit drawings for the building with a floor plan showing bowling lanes, an area for serving food and carpet sales. They will also have a liquor license. The fence has still not been lowered.

Stanley Samuels (200 block West Somers) has removed 4x4 posts that were propping up the front porch. He is trying to comply but doesn't seem to fully understand what is required.
