At Wednesday's Planning and Zoning Commission meeting, Bruce Driska, the City's Zoning Enforcement Officer, told the commissioners that he had issued a cease and desist order to the operator of Miss Patsy's Kitchen, located at the corner of South Main and Randolph Road. He said that the operator of the food stand told him there would be no appeal.
Miss Patsy's is a popular lunch and breakfast venue for many in Middletown, but it has come under fire for illegally operating a restaurant in a residential zone. Chris Parslow, who owns a house adjacent to Miss Patsy's has asked the City for 7 years to enforce its zoning regulations and order the hot dog stand closed. After a series of hearings at the Zoning Board of Appeals, and a series of lawsuits, Parslow succeeded in forcing the City to order Miss Patsy's closed.
On March 2nd, Driska inspected the premises, and on March 3rd, he delivered a Cease and Desist order for "illegal food vending cart in residential zone".

I know when I think of a quiet, idyllic residential area where a popular food stand would be an unwanted problem, I think of South Main Street.
