Kevin Dube of Dube Property Maintenance, was issued a cease and desist order for his business after a group of 18 neighbors signed a petition saying they did not want to see their neighborhood overrun by commercial businesses.

The Zoning Board of Appeals sided with the neighbors ruling that the business violated city laws. A formal cease and desist order, including details of punishment or fines if the order is not followed, will be drafted shortly.

Dube can appeal the board?EUR??,,????'???s decision.

A commercial garage, built on the property two years ago, began the noise complaints.

?EUR??,,????'??It became a hub of activity,?EUR??,,????'?? said Donald DeSantis Jr., a neighbor whose property abuts Dube?EUR??,,????'???s.

DeSantis said the backyard and garage is used for idling trucks, loading equipment and storing materials, including mulch and grass.

?EUR??,,????'??I?EUR??,,????'???m afraid they are going to turn this into a commercial area,?EUR??,,????'?? DeSantis said. ?EUR??,,????'??It?EUR??,,????'???s disruptive. We have a young family, and we can?EUR??,,????'???t let our kids in the backyard. It?EUR??,,????'???s about quality of life. It does not belong in this residential area.?EUR??,,????'??

?EUR??,,????'??It comes down to what the zoning ordinance says,?EUR??,,????'?? said Councilor Joseph Leone, who represents that part of the city. ?EUR??,,????'??Running that business in a residential area is not allowed under our zoning. There are areas for that (type of business); this area is not one of them.?EUR??,,????'??
