Londonderry board denies variance for driving school By Julie Huss\u00a0May 27, 2016<\/p>\n LONDONDERRY \u2014 The Zoning Board of Adjustment denied a request allowing a local driving school to remain in operation at the Londonderry Presbyterian Church on Pillsbury Road.<\/p>\n Al Cardello came before the board at a meeting May 18, requesting a variance that would allow the school to continue offering classroom instruction as an accessory use at the church at 126 Pillsbury Road.<\/p>\n Cardello had moved his Complete Auto Driving School classes to the church several years ago after operating at the nearby Londonderry Lions Hall on Mammoth Road.<\/p>\n Cardello was represented at the meeting by attorney Ashley Scott of Cronin, Bisson, Zalinsky, PC.<\/p>\n The driving school had come before the town in past years in two different situations including a decision last year when the Zoning Board denied Cardello’s request for relief from an administrative order to stop using the church for his driving classes.<\/p>\n Cardello took the matter to court and was allowed a stay at the church until a further decision came on this variance request.<\/p>\n It was the zoning of the area that came into question with board members, and the fact that Cardello was running a for-profit business enterprise in an area zoned AR-1, Agricultural Residential, and not an allowed use.<\/p>\n
\n<\/strong>Classes have been held at Presbyterian Church for several years<\/p>\n
