Weymouth has 90 days to decide whether to rezone property near the
proposed Greenbush railroad station to prevent unwanted development.
Two of the property owners, however, say the change would restrict
the land use too much, discouraging maritime use along the Fore
River. They proposed making exceptions for shoreline property or
creating a special district.
"I'm concerned that the new zoning does not encourage maritime use
at all," David Higgs, who owns a boatyard on the river, told town
officials during a public hearing last night. "I'm concerned that
you're not considering the historic nature of that area."
