The ZBA will hold a brief open meeting on Dec. 19th, at 7 PM at the Truro Safety Facility to implement court orders concerning the Kline house. The Supreme Judicial Court (SJC) recently declined to hear an appeal of the Kline family seeking to overturn the prior Appeals Court and Land Court rulings that established the Town Building Inspector improperly and illegally issued a building permit to the Klines for construction of their 8500sf home on Stephens Way. The Appeals Court also ruled that the Kline house was not an alteration of the pre-existing house owned by Kline at another location on their property. The SJC refusal to hear an appeal leaves these Court rulings intact, and effectively requires the ZBA to ensure in a timely manner that the Building Inspector is instructed to comply with the Courts’ decisions. No public comment period is anticipated.
