There is the upcoming RSVVP event which raises funds for the IFC's food <br /> pantry by donating 10 percent of the participating restaurants' proceeds on <br /> the day of the event. <br /> Ms. Sykes said that there was a joint meeting of the Hillsborough Town <br /> Council and Planning Board to discuss modifying the Accessory Units zoning <br /> ordinance to make it easier to get a permit for them, particularly on non- <br /> conforming lots. <br /> Mr. Sprinczeles said that he read an article about very tiny homes <br /> development in Seattle to combat homelessness. These homes are smaller <br /> than the regular tiny homes, about the size of a storage unit and do not have <br /> bathrooms. <br /> VI.
