RE: Keeping of a Junkyard
7 Benway Court, Assessor’s Map 94, Lot 21
CEASE & DESIST ORDER
Dear Matthew & Tonja:
Pursuant to a new complaint, I have conducted an inspection of your above-referenced
property, which revealed that you are once again keeping a junkyard as defined in the
Montville Zoning Regulations, despite repeated requests for compliance by this office.
Since the initial complaint on 11/10/2015, I have issued two Notices of Violation, a
Cease & Desist Order and a Cease & Desist Order follow-up letter. I have conducted
multiple inspections of your property, independently and with the Blight Enforcement
Officer, Vern Vesey & LT. Leonard Bunnell of the Montville Police Department and the
matter has been referred to the Uncas Health District by the Town on at least two
occasions for storage of household garbage. However, you willfully continue to ignore
multiple directives to correct the violations and bring you property into compliance.
Subsequently, in order to avoid further enforcement action, which may include fines
of up to $100 per day in accordance with C.G.S Section 8-12, you are hereby
ORDERED to CEASE & DESIST the keeping of a junkyard at your above-
referenced property. Failure to comply with this Order mat result in a referral to
the Town Attorney for legal action to obtain compliance.
Appeals taken to the Zoning Board of Appeals to reverse any order, requirement or
decision of the Zoning Enforcement Officer per Montville Zoning Regulations Section
22.1 (Appeals) must be taken within thirty (30) days of receipt of this Order. Forms to
make an appeal can be obtained at the Planning Department at Town Hall.
