The Week Ahead: Hearing On The Fish House, Girl's Camp, Nutmegs, Sunrise Yoga, Raiders Tryouts, Cooking, The Fixx and More!

On Tuesday at 7:30 p.m., the Madison Zoning Board of Appeals will review an application being made by Scott Duques for 91 West Wharf Road, also known at the Fish House. The property owner is seeing variances to allow construction of 3-bedroom dwelling on the property which currently includes a house that is about 600 square feet. The Fish House was the subject of a proposed land swap in 2009 that was voted down by the town. The meeting will be at town campus, in meeting room A.Â
Also this week in town hall, there will be a meeting of the Liberty Street Historic District Study Committee and a meeting of the Board of Police Commissioners.
