Subject: Zoning Violation for placing fill without permit
Dear Mrs. Crowther,
Our office was contacted by Department of Public Works about fill being placed on your
property at 230 Damon Rd. You had contacted our office last year concerning the erosion
taking place directly behind your house. We discussed this with the Senior Planner at
that time(Paulette Kuzdeba) and agreed that as a emergency measure you could bring in
a few loads of fill to protect your house.
You have exceeded that request and have placed fill behind your house as well as placing
a large number of loads of fill to create a parking area next to your house. You are
ordered to cease and desist immediately!. A special permit is required to place fill in that
location. The Conservation Commission has been notified and I have requested that they
make a site visit for their decision as to the fill that you have placed . The Board of Health
has also issued a letter of violation ordering that the fill that was placed that was not clean
fill (fill that does not contain construction debris , stumps etc.) A copy of this letter will
be forwarded to them.
Please contact this office immediately so that a time can be arranged for the
Conservation Committee to visit your location.
Sincerely,
Anthony Patillo
Building Commissioner
