Firemen, who have been to Pandolfe's twice in the past three weeks had to navigate this maize to reach areas where it is hazardous to drive a fire truck. Locust Street, from Meadow Street to Wawarme Avenue, is lined with junk.

original zoning permit allowed only 5.8 acres for such use. Other aspects of the situation: -The Zoning Board of Appeals (ZBA) granted Pandolfe an extension of 15 acres in May 1965. In effect this was an order to reduce its junk acreage from 50 acres to 21 acres. Pandolfe state license, issued in 1933 and renewed each year since, authorizes the area at 1 Columbia Gardens for use as a junkyard. The use now ex ed Keep Out." Director Mayo said Pandolfe previously was given until Dec.

A 1959 state legislative statute requires that all new junk locations be enfenced and closed off by a suitable gate after business hours. Pandolfe's application for a license to cover, the additional 15 acres granted by the ZBA in 1985, it withheld because of the firm's failure to comply with this regulation, which calls for solid, eight-foot fencing.
