NEW GLOUCESTER — Selectmen on Monday voted to have the town attorney advise business owner Ron Henry that he has 30 days to comply with the Zoning Ordinance or face legal action.

Henry owns a small-engine repair business and junkyard on Route 100 and has been cited for violations, including failure to comply with the home occupation section of the ordinance.

Code Enforcement Officer Debra Parks Larrivee, who has worked with Henry since 2013, said, “Though substantial progress has been made in front of the building that now looks orderly, behind a fence there are a couple of hundred mowers. From the roadside, it looks much more organized.”

Board members said they often see mowers lined up at the road to be sold.

In April, selectmen revoked Henry’s home-occupation permit for his failure to limit outside storage to 50 percent of the floor area of an accessory structure. Henry was required to remove his business sign, which he has covered up.

“The board cannot waive compliance,” Selectman Steve Libby said. “We have to stand behind our ordinances. We cannot walk away from the ordinance New Gloucester voters have passed.”

Of several options reviewed, the board authorized sending a letter to Henry from the town attorney listing a summary of violations and advising Henry he has 30 days to comply before the town takes legal action.
