As you know, a meeting was called by the Board of Selectmen -regarding the uses permitted on this property. . This office submitted to the Board of Selectmen a list of the following uses permitted on this property: - repair of motor vehicles sale of gasoline sale of products related to service station operation towing of vehicles Since that time there have been complaints by neighbors that you are parking on Town property. An order was issued and signs erected by the Town, specifying "no parking". It has been determined that the signs have disappeared and vehicles continue to be parked on Town property which constitutes a violation. It has also been brought to the attention of this office that you have been towing for the Town of Barnstable, and also storing those vehicles on said property. This would be 'in direct violation of the non-conforming use of this property. Therefore, this office is recommending to the Board of Selectmen that the license to tow for the Town of Barnstable be revoked, and that you refrain from any further violations in terms of the activities on said property. The towing of vehicles referred to in your permit made reference to towing of vehicles with the repair work to be done at your garage, and not to towing of vehicles for the Town of Barnstable. This office is asking for immediate compliance with the zoning by-law under the non-conforming use of this building. Mr. Joseph Bartel, our Zoning Enforcement Officer, is assigned to this matter, and will be taking appropriate action to insure compliance with the zoning by-law. All vehicles belonging to your company must be stored on your property only. Within 14 days of receipt of this notice Mr. Bartel will be taking legal action, if necessary, to insure compliance.

Rutherford, Town Manager FROM: Joseph D. DaLuz RE: Frank Mason's Service Station Scudder Avenue A=289 046 DATE: August 4, 1992 On July 28th Inspector Richard Bearse inspected the site. He noted nineteen ( 19) vehicles but was unable to determine if vehicles were, registered or unregistered. Three wreckers, one boat, a portion of an auto body and one repossessed vehicle were stored in front of the building inside a fenced area. The flat bed trailer to the right of enclosure is on Mr Mason's property. Due to the nature of the business, vehicles are towed in and stored until released. Releases must be obtained from Insurance Companies, Police Department, etc. prior to final disposition. The Health Department may have some information re contaminants at the site and the Police Department would have jurisdiction over parking on the sidewalk.

Rutherford, Town Manager a r DATE: May 28, 1992 RE: Complaint by Crocker 6 RESPONSE: Jun°e a9; _1499;2 Y . ._ In reference to the enclosed complaint through Councilor Berry relative to Mrs. Crocker, please investigate �complaint - and report to my attention no later than date noted above. i r i i 187 Hyannis Pert , MA M .y 25 , 1992 Dear Warren, Mrs . Dorothy Crocker, of Lattimer Lane, Hyannis Port, has complained to me about what she has observed at Frang Masori ' s property on Scudder Avenue . She wonders what is allowed at this location by . zoning or special permit . She doesn' t feel that the storage ,,of up to 22 "dead" vehicles was intended at any,:;time. She questions the number of trucks allowed and whether they are all parked on the Mason property at all .times. She doesn ' t feel that any vehicles should be allowed to be parked in front of the business, causing pedestrians to leave the sidewalk to walk in the street around these vehicles daily. She wonders how one end of the building can be used as liv- ing quarters, while the other end is a repair garage . (perhaps leased out to another party(s ) She recalls the area being a gasoline station, with a small w garage for repairs . Now, gasoline is not sold on the premises and she wonders about the condition of , the storage tanks . If they are not in use shouldn ' t they be removed? She also has a concern about past dumping of contaminents into the ground that could have an adverse effect on the stream north of the property.
