Select Board authorizes cease‑and‑desist order for alleged zoning and site‑plan violations
Summary
At the board’s request the building inspector’s cease‑and‑desist order for map/lot 208‑030‑000 was approved and signed; the order cites repeated zoning and site‑plan regulation violations and outlines civil penalties ($275 first offense, $550 subsequent offenses per day).
The Brentwood Select Board authorized the issuance of a cease‑and‑desist order for a commercial/industrial lot after the building inspector presented a packet documenting prior notices and alleged ongoing violations.
The order, addressed to map/lot 208‑030‑000, directs the landowner to immediately cease the identified activities alleged to contravene zoning and site‑plan regulations. The building inspector described prior written notices sent to the property and noted that fines will accrue at $275 for the first offense and $550 for subsequent offenses for each day the violation continues beyond notice.
A board member moved and the board voted to issue the order and sign the document. Staff circulated the order for signatures and confirmed it would be served with the effective compliance date specified in the order.
Next steps: Town staff will complete signatures, serve the cease‑and‑desist to the landowner and monitor compliance; civil penalties accrue per the ordinance until the violations are corrected or adjudicated.
