GLOVERSVILLE — Plans to expand the Fulton County YMCA residential facility on East Fulton Street will have to be put on hold, perhaps indefinitely.
The majority of the Zoning Board of Appeals voted that Building Inspector D. Robert Robbins made an error when he determined the proposed use of the second floor of the YMCA at 19 E. Fulton St. put it under the definition of a hotel in the zoning ordinance.
The board’s decision means expanding the YMCA residential facility would violate existing zoning law.
