Burned out remains at Rolling Green Apartments, Amherst
Against the tragic backdrop of a deadly fire at Rolling Green Apartments, I'm not surprised Grandonico Properties, LLC -- AKA Lincoln Reality -- is attempting to quit their foolish appeal of Amherst Building Commissioner Rob Morra's December 17, 2012 citation carrying a $100/day fine for violation of the towns 20+ year old zoning bylaw forbidding more than four unrelated housemates in a one-family unit.
But I hope the ZBA does not allow them (requires a unanimous vote) to simply surrender and slink away under cover of darkness. I hope they take up discussion of this important issue and vote unanimously to reaffirm it.
By taking up this health and safety issue that Grandonico sought to circumvent, and now wish to pull a Roseanne Roseannadanna "never mind", the ZBA can send a stern message to a minority of unscrupulous landlords who put profits over public safety.
UMass was far more egregious -- and far more criminal "thirty days in jail" -- to me than anything that Lincoln has done.
