   In a letter dated Oct. 31, Stephen Aspero, a lawyer representing the Bank of China, owners of the Union Street property, wrote to the chairperson of the township's Zoning Board requesting a special meeting to discuss the fate of the three-lot, 24-room house property.
   
   The purpose of the meeting?
   ...
   "I do not want to appear presumptuous," wrote Aspero, "but both as counsel to the bank and as an abutting neighbor to the property, there is every interest not only on the part of the seller and the buyer, but also on the part of the neighbors, to see that the property is expeditiously sold and tastefully developed."
   
   Plofker would only say to The Times that Aspero didn't represent him, which is technically true, since Aspero wrote the letter in his capacity as attorney for the Bank of China.
   ...
   Zoning Board members turned down the request for a special meeting, thus ending, according to Aspero, Plofker's interest in the property and the Bank of China's interest in Plofker as a purchaser.
   ...
   Aspero said that Bank of China officials are now convinced that the property can be sold without obtaining any special rulings from the Zoning Board.
