Zip Dip and Zoning

How difficult is it to run a small business? Chris Torbeck, owner of the west side ice cream icon the Zip Dip, knows all about it. He decided to add picnic tables to the area just behind his store on Harrison Ave but was told that he was violating the zoning regulations since it was a change in his business.

"As a result, Torbeck could be forced to move his business - because it's zoned only for residences - or pay as much as $300,000 for changes and a legal fight over the zoning issues."

Not even in my wildest imagination did I think we'd have to do what we have been through," Torbeck said Monday."
