Summary
A telecom contractor has been operating off an 18-acre commercial parcel without the approvals that use requires, creating noise, mud on Howe Road, and soil erosion issues. The ZBA denied the after-the-fact variance and gave the operator 30 days to clear out. The city may pursue revoking the original 2023 storage-unit variance because its conditions were repeatedly violated.
