Is Wayland neglecting to uphold its own bylaws? Finnerty’s restaurant in Cochituate has been vacant since 2005. Since 2013 a local Wayland developer has been trying to build a 14,000 sq.ft. CVS on the site. It has met with fierce opposition from the neighborhood. The process has been heavy with complications, lawsuits and neighborhood protest. The latest issue is a controversial decision by the Wayland Zoning Board of Appeals, which refused to hear a complaint, on its merits, from an abutter. They say the complaint was improperly filed. Their refusal has led to a major controversy over whether Wayland is refusing to uphold its own bylaws. Starting this Sunday, Host Susan Wagner interviews Gretchen Dresens who has been helping lead neighborhood opposition to the permitting process since it began.
