The law firm of Sabatini and Associates represented the Bochasanwasi Shree Akshar Purushottan Awaminarayan Sanstha-northeast   Temple in Newington. The temple needed to establish a residence for their religious leader. They wanted the residence to be part of the temple building. However, upon application for a building permit, they found that the town did not have a zoning regulation permitting the same.    It was then necessary to draft a new zoning regulation and apply for an amendment. The amended regulation was set for a public hearing. After the hearing the commission voted to approve the amendment. Of note is the fact that the town had approximately six residences associated with churches. This amendment now makes all of the housing legal.
