Dear O'Connell Oil Assoc. :
We have received the decision from the Zoning Board of Appeals today;
granting your application. There is now a twenty (20) day appeal period
you must await. After the appeal period is up, you must go to the City
Clerk' s office and get a stamped copy from them which will indicate that
there has- been no appeals on the decision you received from the Zoning
Board. Then bring the stamped copy they give you over to the Registry
of Deeds and file it with them, but be sure they give you a copy to give
to us to keep on file in our office. Then you can come to our office to
apply for the building permit, but until all the above listed steps are
complete our office can't issue you the building permit. Be sure to get
the above mentioned copy from the Registry of Deeds, so we can process
the building permit immediately.
For Your Information : Zoning Ordinance Section 10.6 - Permit Time
Limits. A Zoning Board Decision granted under the provisions of Section
10. 10 shall lapse within eighteen ( 18) months (including such time re-
quired to pursue or await the determination of an appeal ) from the grant

of a permit for construction, construction has not begun by such date
except for good cause.
Sincerely,
