St. Gertrude's retreat clergy housing and road waiver

Summary

The St. Gertrude's religious retreat wants to build seven homes for clergy families and skip paving a clay road. Neighbors described years of all-night noise, fast traffic and ignored complaints; the board couldn't square permanent family homes with church-retreat zoning and gave the applicants until November 4 to fix the request.
