Business owner seeks to lease 9 Old Lion Lane; selectmen tentatively schedule public hearing on junkyard permit
Summary
Brian Marshall of Brian’s Body and Fender told Cushing selectmen he intends to lease or possibly purchase 9 Old Lion Lane and would like to retain or transfer the property’s junkyard permit; the board asked chair and Selectman Staples to check procedures and tentatively set a public hearing before the Sept. 22 meeting.
Brian Marshall, owner of Brian’s Body and Fender, appeared at the Sept. 8 meeting to explain plans to lease and potentially buy the property at 9 Old Lion Lane (currently A & J Enterprises), owned by Leroy Firth, and to inquire about retaining or transferring a junkyard permit for the site.
Marshall told the board he does not intend to operate a full-fledged junkyard but that his business involves repair, inspection, salvage and sales of used cars and he would like to ensure any required permit remains valid or is transferred. The selectmen asked Chairman Alton Grover and Selectman Daniel Staples to make calls to confirm the proper procedure and tentatively scheduled a public hearing to precede the Sept. 22 selectmen meeting. Town Clerk Lisa Young or one of the selectmen will contact Marshall if the hearing is unnecessary.
What’s next: The board has not made any permit decisions; it has only scheduled a potential public hearing to gather required public input and confirm administrative steps. The minutes do not say whether a permit currently exists in Marshall’s name or detail the conditions under which a permit transfer would be allowed.
