6. Zoning Issues:
a) David Spurgas: An application for a home occupation on
property located at 4 Birch Point Trail, Montville, Ct. Shown on
Assessor's Map 108 Lot 96. The Commission explained to Mr.
Spurgas that parking his oil truck at his residence was a violation
of the original Home Occupation Permit he was issued. The
original permit was for a home office and it clearly stated no
trucks, signs, etc would be at the residence. Mr. Spurgas explained
he did not realize he was creating a problem for his neighbors. The
reason he brought the truck home during the cold months is that he
is on call 24 hours a day, and the truck, being diesel, has to be
plugged in or it won't start. He has garaged his truck at Gardner
Lake Fire Station since receiving the Cease and Desist Order on
January 25, 2001. He stated he would not bring the truck to his
residence again and that his main office was in Norwich.
COMMISSIONER MAJEWSKI questioned why he needed the
Home Occupation Permit if the office is in Norwich. Mr. Spurgas
stated he gets calls at home and since his is a 24 hour a day
operation, he has to be available. COMMISSIONER MAJEWSKI
explained that since answering the telephone did not require a
Home Occupation Permit, and the main office is not in the home,
he did not see the need for a permit. Mr. Spurgas withdrew his
request for a Home Occupation Application. A MOTION by
COMMISSIONER CHARLAND SECOND by COMMISSIONER
MARCUS to keep the Cease and Desist order in place.
COMMISSIONER TINNEL abstained from voting. All others
voted in favor. MOTION CARRIED. CEASE AND DESIST
ORDER WILL REMAIN IN PLACE.
