As Chair of the Town of Bristol Zoning Board of Appeals, I would like to thank the board members; Patricia Giordano, E J Warden, Bonnie Ross, Scott Hept and Secretary, Teresa Abbott for a job very well done. I would also like to thank Wayne Houseman, the town board liason to the Zoning Board, who has not missed a meeting in all the years I've been a member. The members make difficult decisions; we try to be fair for all. Members are responsible for four hours of training annually. Please remember the town of Bristol's comprehensive plan; preserve and encourage a clean, naturally beautiful, rural environment with carefully planned commercial development, aesthetically pleasing, controlled residential growth, and increased recreational opportunities, while encouraging the preservation of agricultural lands.

The Zoning Board of Appeals meets the 2^nd Tuesday of every month at 7 PM in the town hall. Please feel free to join us. Zoning works for everyone!
