PAGE 2, WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 2lst, 1974, WIIITBY FRET PRESS Further to our A ug. 7 editorial, 'the littie guy' vs. the corporation (Korsianje being refused a permit for a green- house), we're hlappy to report that Mr. Korsian/e inally received an explanation of why he was refùsed a building permit... "the size of this building being 5S feet ini lengt/z and 25 /èei in widlt/ and also considering the coin- merciai design of t/le building (t/he town solicitor) reached thle conclusion that i/lis wvas tiot a type of structure t/lai should be alloxved in a Residential Zone unider Bv-law 1 784 as a proper accessory use.
