“It was made clear to Mr. Sharp that if his business changed, he was to come back for a new permit,” Mrs. Luke continued. “I know it’s a nuisance to come before this board. It’s a nuisance for us to sit on it! But that should have been done if the migrant housing needed to be used for more than the approximate season we had been told.”

By unanimous vote, the BZA members found no violation of the condition that the workers had to be employed on land owned or rented by the Sharps.

By a second unanimous vote, they found that the orchardist had violated the condition limiting the housing to 10 migrant workers.

By a third majority vote, with Mr. Swindler opposed, they found that he had also violated • the condition that the workers housed there be seasonal, temporary workers, interpreting that condition as meaning apple pickers living at the migrant camp from August through November.

Checking with Mr. Sharp to be sure he understood the limits of the special use permit as clarified, the BZA voted unanimously to issue a warning that with any future violations, the permit for the migrant housing would be revoked. “That’s 10 maximum sleeping there. If another guy shows up, he’s got to sleep in his car as far as we’re concerned,” Mr. Monahan emphasized.

“I thought, since day one, that the best solution would have been to apply for a new special use permit this past August (when the issue first arose),” said zoning administrator John McCarthy. “I don’t think a warning does anything more than push a revocation hearing four months

Also, the ordinance’s provisions must be consistent with State law and the regulations of the State Water Control Board.”

The prouder a man is, the more he thinks he deserves; and the more he thinks he deserves, the less he really does deserve.
