Special Exception Approved To Transform Home Into Spa


BERLIN – Plans for a spa in a historic Berlin home are expected to move forward following a board of appeals hearing this week.

On Wednesday the Berlin Board of Zoning Appeals voted 2-1 to grant 509 S. Main St. a special exception for a conditional business use in the residential district. Though there was concern that an unanimous vote was needed for the special exception, which will allow the property to be turned into a spa, town staff confirmed Thursday the 2-1 vote constituted an approval.

South Point residents Cynthia and Anthony Betterson told the board they wanted to buy the house at 509 S. Main St., known as Waverly, and turn it into “The Lavender Spa at Waverly.” The house, which was built in 1842 and is currently owned by Ernest Gerardi, has been vacant for years.
