In a short, focused meeting on December 19, the Truro Zoning Board of Appeals enforced the standing order of the Land and the Appeals Courts to inform the Town Building Inspector, Tom Wingard, that his approved building permit was improperly issued to construct the Kline house and to “take appropriate action.” as stated in the Court order. The ZBA, having issued a warning to this effect previously, went further to order Mr. Wingard to revoke the building permit for the Kline property. Enforcement of this decision, which now rests with Mr. Wingard, will require a tear down of the house unless court intervention blocks enforcement. It is expected that the Kline family will appeal the ZBA decision in court. Numerous abutters have already notified Mr. Wingard to enforce the standing court orders, and can themselves seek relief from the ZBA at any time if this is not enforced. The Kline family may also seek a variance from the ZBA.
