WEATHERSFIELD Handyman Hardware gets change in zoning

A rezoning will allow construction of a storage building on North Bellwood Avenue.
MINERAL RIDGE -- Weathersfield Township trustees approved a zone change for three lots on North Bellwood Avenue to allow Handyman Hardware on U.S. Route 422 to construct a pole building for storage of stock overflow and seasonal items.
The trustees approved a zone change from residential to a commercial designation that allows offices, banks, funeral homes, small retail stores, barbershops or similar service-oriented businesses.
The zone change had been recommended by the township zoning commission. Carl Leveto, owner of Handyman Hardware, made the request.
