Leicester board signs junkyard permit and authorizes sheriff to deliver zoning violations
Summary
The Select Board signed a five-year junkyard permit and approved zoning violation notices for properties (including a camper at the Junction) to be served by the sheriff, with appeal rights to the DRB and compliance timelines discussed.
The Select Board signed a five-year renewal of a local junkyard permit and agreed that the sheriff's department will deliver notices for zoning and junk-ordinance violations. The chair described a specific notice relating to a camper at the Junction at Depot and the board discussed local complaints and logistics for delivery. The board confirmed that the 90-day compliance period runs from the date the sheriff delivers the notice and reviewed the DRB appeal window (15 days from receipt).
Members asked about the trigger for a junkyard permit (three unregistered vehicles) and noted some properties had multiple unregistered vehicles and a bus. The board directed staff to fill in addresses on the notices and track delivery dates from the sheriff’s office so the town can monitor appeal and compliance deadlines.
