5.

7.

If the primary occupant of a personal office is a resident of the town or its spheres of influence, the provision of such space is deemed to meet the criteria of serving primarily the town and its spheres of influence. In such a case, the occupant may conduct a personal business which need not meet the test of serving primarily the town and its spheres of influence. Such a business, however, shall not attract other than occasional traffic by other than the occupants and shall be separate from other businesses conducted in personal offices.
