BOURNE — The South Side Fire Station Building Committee authorized its chair to prepare an improved variance presentation after the Zoning Board of Appeals denied a setback request in January. Project Manager Rick Pomroy recommended a February 18 continuance, with Town Administrator Marlene McCollem emphasizing the core hardship: half of Bourne lacked fire protection. The committee voted 8-0 to authorize Chair Wayne Sampson and Fire Chief David S.
Pelonzi to refine the presentation and design work. Separately, the committee approved $221,230 in invoices to Saccoccio Associates and Pomroy Associates for ongoing design development, with early March bidding targeted.
