Ms. Pappo stated that when she researched the property online, she came up with Yelp reviews for an auto repair shop. Ms. Pappo asked the applicant if that is within the one acre and if another business would require a Special Permit (Mr. Dailey responded that on occasion a vehicle will come in that's in good condition and it's repaired and sent to the Concord Auto auction. The repairs are done within the one acre under the shelter). Ms. Pappo asked about a specific Yelp review of a car going back to the owner after being repaired (Ms. Wood stated they can only grant or not grant a Special Permit for this single acre. They have no jurisdiction to go further). Ms. Pappo asked the Board how they will make sure that the decision is being enforced and requested that the hearing be continued. Mr. Dailey stated that the direct abutters have had no issue. When Mr. Carroll was asked to put in the stakes years ago, he did so. The Zoning Administrator, Mr. George, has not had any issues, and the Police and Fire Departments have not had any issues. The Fire Department checked the oil sheen on the property that had been complained about and found no evidence of it. Mr. Carroll has attempted to comply with everything. Mr. Parsons responded to Mr. Dailey that he is the largest abutter and have had it in their yard for 48 years. The auto repair area has been used in the past. Ms. Wood asked Mr. Parsons if he directly abuts the one acre (he doesn't know where the one acre is so he couldn't say). Mr. Williams stated that he wants to clarify to Mr. Parsons that the closest abutters to the one acre from his observations are the lots on Pitcairn Place and the 5 lots on Allen Street. The Board has not heard from those abutters. Mr. Parsons and Ms. Pappo are far away from the one acre. Mr. Parsons responded to Mr. Williams that he is still a direct abutter and his opinions are not of less weight. Mr. Williams stated that he is just pointing out which lots are closest to the one acre. Mr. Casado stated that there are abutting activities that are outside of the one acre but sound like they are part of the same operation. Ms. Wood stated that the Board is only voting on the one acre tonight. Mr. Casado asked who the neighbors can contact for activities outside the acre (Ms. Wood responded that they can contact the Zoning Enforcement Officer or the Conservation Administrator depending on the issue. The Board can only tell the Zoning Enforcement Officer on what to enforce on the one acre that requires a Special Permit. Mr. Parsons asked the Board for clarification on when the property would be inspected (Ms. Wood stated that it would be up to the Board to insert a condition that it have an annual or 6 month inspection. The Zoning Administrator, Mr. George, asked Mr. Borrebach if he has been out to the site and made the determination of where the one acre is (yes). Mr. George asked Mr. Borrebach what conclusion he has drawn from the map provided by Mr. Dailey (he has seen the map and
