PROVIDENCE, R.I. -- It takes 21 days for chicks to hatch, but much longer for CLUCK! to open its doors.

The Sts. Vartanantz Armenian Apostolic Church and four other neighbors -- Anthony and Monica Paolino, John Paterra and Elizabeth Monaco -- are in court fighting the debut of an urban farm-supply store on Broadway.

Their lawsuit, to be heard Friday, asks Superior Court Judge Luis M. Matos to reverse the city's late February approval of a zoning variance.

It says Paterra and Monaco weren't notified, as required by law, about the Zoning Board of Review's hearings; the type of store isn't in keeping with the city's vision for the neighborhood; and the additional traffic and parking congestion CLUCK! may bring will hurt established businesses.
