J&M Again owner seeks site‑plan amendment to resolve enforcement issues at 1 Hilldale Ave and 22 Atkinson Depot Rd
Summary
Owner Josh Markette said he is preparing an amended site plan and an existing‑conditions survey to document parking and operations at a long‑used industrial site; staff flagged unpermitted outdoor storage and vehicle parking as enforcement issues to be resolved through the site‑plan amendment.
Owner Josh Markette and engineering consultant Bruce Scamman briefed the Board about operations at J&M Again LLC, which occupies properties at 1 Hilldale Avenue and 22 Atkinson Depot Road. Markette said the property has been in his family's control for decades and that the owner has "been cleaning up the site over the last year and have removed 75% of the outdoor tenants who were parking there."
Board and staff described outstanding enforcement concerns: outdoor storage, parking and equipment located outside areas shown on prior approved site plans, and unpermitted operations including a tree service and an automobile carrier business. Scamman said Emanuel Engineering will prepare an existing‑conditions survey to document current operations so the applicant can move forward with an amended site plan that can regularize existing uses. The Board advised following the normal amendment process and suggested coordination with Code Enforcement to address interim compliance while the amendment proceeds.
Next steps: applicant to submit an as‑built/existing conditions survey and a formal site‑plan amendment to document current uses and address enforcement issues.
