Mr. Holvey then spoke as a business owner in Macedon and how he has had to follow Town regulations for a Special Use Permit every year. However, he sees many other businesses being operated from their homes that are not in compliance and have not obtained a Special Use Permit. He feels that Special Use Permits should be uniform and that it is lost income for the Town.
