ron_newmanPinkberry (aka NE Frog Pond LLC) has re-submitted its application to open a frozen yogurt parlor at 263 Elm Street, formerly the office storefront of Massachusetts Insurance Agency. The Zoning Board of Appeals hearing will be tomorrow night (Wednesday 4/17) at 6 pm in the aldermen's chamber at City Hall.
As before, the city's planning staff have recommended conditional approval. Last time around, the ZBA appeared ready to reject the application despite the planning staff's recommendation, causing NE Frog Pond LLC to withdraw it before a vote could occur.
The new application includes "two petitions (with approximately 370 signatures) in support of the establishment of Pinkberry in Davis Square". I do not know if one of them is this online petition. In case it is, I have informed the ZBA that the online petition has no mechanism whatsoever for ensuring the validity of signatures, as shown by the fact that my own signature was forged onto it numerous times.
