EXHIBIT B I
I
The Building Inspector's decision dated December 4, 1992, i
must be reversed as it is incorrect, both as a matter of fact
and law. The petitioner does not, as is stated ill fhe decision,
operate an electrical supply outlet at the premises l The
business of Juba Electric, Inc. is that of an electrical
contractor and not an electrical supply business.
The business has existed at the 162 Hillside Road location
since 1965, and therefore, as a matter of law, it is lirotected
as a prior nonconforming use. The use is also protected and
permissible as a home occupation under the zoning by law, and as
a customary home occupation under the previous bylaw in Effect
at the time the use commenced.

law.(see file) In 1967 the bylaw permitted customary home
occupation which can be carried on by not more than five persons,
one of whom should reside at the residence. The bylaw now
permits only three employees. Mr. Juba has been running an
electrical contracting company at his home. The employees go out
to other homes or businesses to do the job. Mr. Juba does not
have customers coming to his home. Atty. Marden stated that out
of 63 electrical contractors found in the phone book, 46 run
electrical contracting businesses from their home. He stated
another complaint is that supplies are delivered to this address.
Atty. Marden explained this is not unusual with any home
occupation, dentists, doctors, and many others take deliveries at
their home.
Mr. Soule asked if anyone wanted to speak in favor of the
petitioner. Abutter, William Scopa, 161 Hillside Road, stated
his concern is whether this business --=is allowed in this
neighborhood. It was explained to Mr. Scopa that in 1967 it was
allowed. Another abutter, Marcelle Langevin, 150 Hillside Road,
stated that she and her husband have never been bothered by the
business. Mr. Vivenzio asked if she had noticed any change or
expansion of this business. She stated she had not. Edmond
Becotte, 136 Hillside Road stated he agreed with Mrs. Langevin.
Mr. Vivenzio commented that Section 9.1 says if you were a non-

conforming use which lawfully existed at the time under any prior
bylaw it may be continued subject to the provisions of this
bylaw, but such use may not be changed, extended or enlarged. So
the real issue is whether this business has been changed or
enlarged.
Mr. Soule asked if anyone wanted to speak against the petitioner.
Mr. Robert Kent, 171 Hillside Road spoke. He stated he has lived
at his residence for 36 years. Mr. Juba started with one truck
which he parked in the garage, the business has now grown to five
trucks. Deliveries by large trucks are now two to three times a
week. It takes five men about thirty-five minutes to unload one
delivery truck into Mr. Juba's playroom and cellar. The Kent's
live right across the street from Mr. Juba's driveway. Mrs. Kent
also spoke. She stated that she and her husband had tried to
speak with Mr. Juba and didn't get any cooperation. She also
stated that employees come to the Juba home for lunch every day,
even when no one is home. They have a key that they let
themselves in with. Abutter, Michael Schena, 102 Hillside Road
he wanted to make a formal protest that this hearing was being
held illegally. He cited paragraph 10.4 of the variance of
appeals which states that an appeal must be received within 30
days of the date of the order of decision that is being appealed.
He also read a portion of Chapter 40, Section 15 of the Mass.
General Laws. Any appeal under Section 8 to a permit granting
authority shall be taken within 30 days of the hearing. He also
cited that Mr. Juba lost his right to an appeal because the 30
days had expired. He stated the entire basement is filled with
electrical supplies and he has an office in what use to be a
bedroom which is also used as a cafeteria for the employees. He
also stated most electric contractors go to an electric supply
store for supplies, but Mr. Juba keeps tons of supplies at his
residence.
Mr. Soule asked if anyone on the Board had any questions. Mr.
Vivenzio asked about the issue of expansion since that start of
the business. Mr. Marden stated that Mr. Juba started working
full time as an electrician and set up the corporation in 1967.
He had five employees at that time and he still has that number
of employees. It is still the same business it was in the
beginning. He explained some of the equipment needed for a job
is delivered to the house and are put into trucks. Many other
parts are picked from a supplier. There are some parts stored at
the house, these would be parts that are mare commonly used on a
job. Mr. Rissin asked if the business has the same number of
trucks and people as in the 1967. Mr. Juba stated that in 1967
the employees used their own cars and he had one truck. He now
has three vans and a pick-up truck. One van and a pick-up truck
is parked at the house overnight.

Mr. Nicetta, Building Inspector read Section 4, Paragraph 4.14
and 4.18 of the 1967 Zoning Bylaws regarding home occupations.
He also stated that the house is being used as a warehouse.
Residence -3 states that warehousing and wholesaling is not an
allowed use. Mr. Nicetta stated that Mr. Juba admitted to
receiving deliveries of supplies at his home. Mr. Pallone stated
that he'd like to see the definition of "home occupation".
Atty. Marden stated this is the first complaint of record since
in 1967. He feels it is impossible for this Board to conclude
that this business is obnoxious, or a nuisance, or detrimental to
the neighborhood. Mrs. Schena stated she is bothered with the
traffic from the Juba trucks.
Mr. Soule asked if the Board had any more questions. Mr. Pallone
asked Mr. Juba if he uses any contract employees. Mr. Juba
stated he employees five people only. Mr. Rissin asked Mr. Juba
if he could provide proof of employees with tax statements from
1967. Mr. Juba stated he wasn't sure, but he would check. Mr.
Rissin said this would help to decide if the business has
expanded.
Upon a motion by Mr. Rissin and seconded by Mr. Vivenzio the
Board voted unanimously to CONTINUE the hearing in order to
gather additional evidence.
Amy Cameron/Callini Variances 23 Perry Street
Legal Notices were read by Mr. Soule. Atty. David Bernardin,

two sideyard variances. He stated Ms. Callini obtained from the
building office a building permit to construct an addition to her
home on December 8, 1992. Apparently, the Assistant Building
Inspector did not notice the side setbacks were in violation.
A letter from the abutters was read by Mr. Soule. (See file)
Mr. Serio asked if there was anyone present who wanted to speak
in favor of the petitioner. No one spoke. Mr. Soule read a
letter from some abutters in support of this project. (See file)
Mr. Serio then asked if there was anyone present who was in
opposition to the petition. Mr. Richard Hamel of 21 Perry Street
spoke. He stated he lives in the house directly in front of Ms.
Callini's. Mr. Hamel distributed copies of a letter that he had
sent to the Asst. Building Inspector. (see -file) Construction of
Ms. Callini's addition began on December 21, 1992. Mr. Hamel
contacted the Building Department on December 28, 1992 and the
construction was stopped. Mr. Hamel stated that in his opinion
there is no hardship. There was plenty of room in the rear and
the side of the dwelling to build. Mr. Hamel just asked that the
Board request the applicant to move the addition back
approximately 8 1/2 feet.

Rogers Park Realty Trust variance 580 Osgood Street
Developer, Tom Laudani showed revised plans for this subdivision.
He stated that he had received unanimous approval from the
Planning Board. Under Planned Residential Development in R-2
zone the allowed lot size is one-half acre. Most of the lots
comply. Forty-five percent of the land will be gifted to the
town. Various issues were discussed, such as the mansion and the
barn. A letter from Kathleen Bradley, Town Planner was read by
Mr. Soule (see file).
Mr. Serio asked if anyone present wanted to speak in opposition
to this request. Atty. Reginald Marden representing William
Rockwell of 676 Osgood Street and Dr. George Ousler of 623 Osgood
Street presented a memorandum addressing the legal issues to the
Board. He stated that none of the requirements for issuing a
variance were being met by the petitioner. His argument was that
the land should simply be developed with Form -A lots. He also
questioned hardship and stated that the developer could develop a
PRD without a variance, he wants the variance so that he can
develop more lots.
Tom Laudani spoke once again. He stated that the alternative
would be to develop thirteen Form -A lots which would take 100% of
the land, this would also mean that there would be thirteen homes
with thirteen driveways coming out onto Osgood St.
Steve Stapinski from Merrimack Engineering spoke regarding the
wetlands on the property. He suggested that because of the
amount of wetlands, this could be the hardship for this property.
Atty. Marden spoke again stating that considering the soil and
topography there is no hardship.
Motion by Mr. Rissin and seconded by Mr.Soule to TAKE THE MATTER
UNDER ADVISEMENT. Motion passed unanimously.
MEMORANDUM
TO: Town of North Andover
Board of Appeals
FROM: Cohen Law Offices, P.C.
DATE: March 5, 1993
1
RE: Juba Electric Co., Inc.
162 Hillside Road, North Andover, MA
This memorandum of law is submitted in support of the
Town of North Andover's Building Inspector's decision
requiring Juba Electric Co., Inc. to cease operation of an
electrical business/supply/warehouse outlet in a Residential 3
District of North Andover, MA because said use of the property
is in violation of Town Zoning By -Laws, Section 4, Paragrafths
4.122, 4.121, 4.14, 4.19 & 4.04.
ISSUES
1. Whether the use of the property located at 162
Hillside Avenue, North Andover, Massachusetts is a
continuing nonconforming use?
2. Whether the alleged home occupation since 1967 has
changed, been modified or enlarged since 1967 and if
so, whether said modification or enlargement complies
with Zoning Regulations?
FACTS
Juba Electric Co., Inc. is owned and operated by
Stephen M. Juba, Jr. at 162 Hillside Road, North Andover.
31419
�r�
The bu_�ness commenced operation �,�1965 and was
incorporated under the Laws of Massachusetts in 1967.
since its commencement the character and quality of the
business has grown rapidly in many respects. The number of
employees has risen from only Mr. Juba and one part or full
time employee to at least five full time employees, including
Mr. Juba. The number of vehicles registered at the property
has risen from one truck to seven vehicles according to town
records. Five of the seven vehicles are commercially
registered in the name of Juba Electric Co., Inc. The nature
and purpose of the business has changed from one or two
employees contracting jobs to fit around their full time jobs
to a business which is operating a full scale supply and
wholesale electric company. Heavy trucks, including 18
wheelers, are continuously delivering supplies to the home.
The supplies are warehoused in the basement and garage of the
premises. The noise and traffic has become unbearable for
neighbors.
Traffic has increased substantially due to the new
wholesale component to the business. Loading and dropping off
of materials throughout the day has added noise and serious
safety concerns to the neighborhood.
The Building Inspector sent a formal complaint letter
to Juba Electric informing Juba of the Zoning Violation. Juba
appealed to this Board for relief.
-2-
Many neighbors have complained about the existence of
this large electric supply business in a residential
neighborhood because the business is generating significant
traffic and noise.
DISCUSSION
Juba Electric Co., Inc. should not be permitted to
operate its electrical supply business in a residential
district as a prior nonconforming use, because of the
substantial and extensive changes and enlargement of the
business since its commencement which would no longer afford
the business protection under the Zoning laws as a prior
nonconforming use.
The Zoning By -Laws provide, in pertinent part, that:
"Any lawfully non -conforming building or structure and
any lawfully non -conforming use of building ... may be
continued in the same kind and manner and to the same
extent as at the time it became lawfully
non -conforming, but such... use shall not at any time
be changed, extended or enlarged except for purposes
permitted in the zoning district in which such
building or use is situated..."
(Zoning By -Laws Section 4, Paragraph 4.04)
The business has enlarged and changed since its
inception. The current use of the property is different in
kind and presently has a detrimental effect on the
neighborhood, whereas the prior use was sma31 and unobtrusive.
-3-
In 190 only one vehicle was usey the business.
Currently, there are seven vehicles registered to the property
in question according to town records. There are also heavy
trucks, including 18 wheelers, making deliveries of supplies
to the premises.
Also, the number of employees has risen from only Mr.
Juba and one part or full time employee to at least five full
time employees, including Mr. Juba. (See the attached
supporting Affidavit). The nature and purpose of the business
has changed from one or two employees contracting jobs to fit
around their full time jobs to a business which is operating a
full scale supply and wholesale electric company.
In addition, there are supplies warehoused in the
premises, and there are constant deliveries and pickups from
the premises on a daily basis. The traffic and noise is
extremely annoying to neighbors and is detrimental to the
neighborhood. The Zoning By -Laws were written to protect
neighborhoods from these types of activities.
Juba Electric argues that it is a customary home
occupation and should be allowed to remain as a preexisting
nonconforming use. The By -Laws specifically provide, however,
that a home occupation shall be allowed provided that:
"...in any dwelling, such customarT home occupations
shall be carried on by not more than five persons of
whom at least one shall reside in such dwelling."
(Zoning By -Laws, Section 4, Paragraph 4.14)
-4-
0
It is questionable whether or not Juba Electric
employed 1,2, 3 or 5 people in 1967. If in fact there were
only three or fewer employees, Juba Electric is in violation
of the Zoning Regulations for home occupations.
Also, Juba Electric does not operate solely in the
home as a home occupation. The business activity commences in
the home, however, there is visible exterior activity directly
related to the business.
It is a fact that Juba Electric warehouses electrical
supplies in the premises and actually performs its business
outside the premises. This violates the "home occupation"
By -Law. The Zoning By -Law states that the home occupation
must be "in the dwelling". (Zoning By -Laws, Section 4,
Paragraph 4.14) This exterior activity is also extremely
disturbing to neighbors and this activity violates other
sections of the Zoning By -Laws.
provides that:
Section 4, Paragraph 4.19
"no more than four motor vehicles, of which not more
than two may be commercial vehicles, are allowed in a
residential zone."
Juba Electric, according to town records, has seven
(7) vehicles registered to the premises, five (5) of which are
commercial vehicles. Under the By -Laws, only Two (2) vehicles
may be commercially registered.
-5-
0
Furthermore, Juba Electric receives large deliveries of
electrical supplies from week to week. Juba Electric stores
and warehouses these supplies until they are needed for a
particular job off the premises. If in fact Juba Electric is
warehousing, this too is not a permitted use in an R3 District
and is a change in use. The Zoning By -Laws indicate, under
the home occupation section, that:
"...Not more than twenty-five (25) percent of the
existing gross floor area of the dwelling unit so used,
not to exceed one thousand (1000) square feet, is
devoted to such use. In connection with such use,
there is to be kept no stock in trade, commodities or
products which occupy space beyond these limits..."
(Zoning By -Laws Section 4, Paragraph 4.121 (4)(d)).
If this Board views the premises of Juba Electric, it
may learn that the premises is, in fact, utilized as a
warehouse facility in a Residential District and in violation
of the home occupation bylaw. The inventory warehoused may
exceed use of 25% of the gross floor area of the premises.
Massachusetts General Laws chapter 40A section 6 states
that "...Pre-existing nonconforming structures or uses may be
extended or altered, provided, that no such extension or
alteration shall be permitted unless there is a finding by the
permit granting authority or by the special permit granting
authority designated by ordinance or by-law that such change,
extension or alteration shall not be substantially more
detrimental than the existing nonconforming use of the
neighborhood." (M.G.L.C. 40A, Section 6).
M.
11 f1
The test as to whether or not a substantial extension
of the prior use has taken place is found in Bridgewater v.
Chuckran. A three prong test asks the following questions:
1. Whether there is a difference in the quality or
character, as well as the degree of use?
2. Whether the current use reflects the nature
and purpose of the prior use?
3.. Whether the current use is different in kind in
its effect on the neighborhood? See, Bridgewater
v. Chuckran, 351 Mass. 20, 23, 217 N.E. 2d 726 (1966).
Juba Electric has increased the degree and character to
which the premises is used for the business. The current use
as a warehouse could not have been the purpose and intent of
the prior use. The current use is more detrimental on the
neighborhood than in previous years.
Similar to the automotive business in Building
Inspector of Groton v. Vlahos, operation of Juba Electric Co.,
Inc. at its residential location constitutes an "impermissible
extension of a prior nonconforming use in existence when the
bylaw was enacted, in that the nature, purpose, quality,
character and degree of defendant's use of the property were
substantially different from the prevailing use when by laws
were enacted, and the use was different in its effect on the
neighborhood." Building Inspector of Groton v. Vlahos, 409
N.E. 2d 795, 795, 10 Mass App. 890 (1980).
-7-
The By-laws specify that to be a hom,= occupation:
"...the building or premises occupied shall not be
rendered objectionable or detrimental to the
residential character of the neighborhood due to the
exterior appearance, emissions of odor, gas, smoke,
dust, noise disturbances or on any way become
objectionable or detrimental to any residential use
within the neighborhood."
(Zoning By -Laws Section 4, Paragraph 4.121 (4)(f)).
Juba Electrical, through its excessive growth and
change, has become greatly objectionable to the residential
neighbors. The number of trucks and other vehicles has
increased the amount of emissions, including smoke, dust and
odor to the neighborhood. Juba trucks advertise by displaying
the company logo upon most of the company vans. The neighbors
are exposed to reduced property values, reduced aesthetic
appearance, reduced privacy and enjoyment, increased traffic,
increased safety concerns and general disturbance to the
residential character of the neighborhood.
Supporting affidavits have been submitted from the
following neighbors:
1. Robert & Ellen Kent
171 Hillside Road, North Andover, MA
2. William & Anna Scopa
161 Hillside Road, North Andover, MA
-8-
CONCLUSION
The nature and use of the premises at 162 Hillside
Road, North Andover has changed and enlarged substantially
since the business commenced. The business is a warehouse and
electric supply facility in a residential district, which is
detrimental to the neighborhood due to its excessive traffic,
noise and odors.
Juba Electric should cease operations in its present
form, remove all warehoused supplies and cease accepting
deliveries, as the prior nonconforming use Bylaw no longer
protects it as a home occupation.
The Building Inspector's ruling should be affirmed.

Dear Sirs:
My name is William Scopa and I reside at 161 Hillside Road which is directly opposite from
Stephen Juba. Recently, I received a letter from another neighbor, stating that Steve and Claire
Juba are decent and honorable people. I wholeheartedly agree that this is a true statement, as do
all the neighbors, but this is not the issue here.
At the last meeting, on the subject of conducting a business in a residential neighborhood,
Mr. Juba's attorney mentioned an absurd example of not actually doing work at the residence.
Frankly, his example was insulting and still not at issue here. The problem is, the growth of the
business which can be easily substantiated by tax records.
I am especially concerned with the number and size of the trucks coming and going on a daily
basis. Not only is the property used as a centralized garaging for vehicles but very large delivery
trucks make frequent shipments of supplies to the house.
I cannot see where Mr. Juba is willing to make any compromise in this matter. If he had spoken
up and offered to contain his operation in any way, it would have helped his cause. We've
expressed our concerns openly and expect Mr. Juba to do the same concerning his intentions.
I sincerely hope this matter can be resolved and our neighborhood restored to the residential, safe,
noiseless street that we enjoyed before the escalation of Mr. Juba's business.

Anna Scopa
Affidavit
We, Ellen and Bob Kent, have lived at 171 Hillside Road, North Andover,
MA since 1957 directly across from the Juba residence. (Refer to photos)
Stephen and Claire Juba built a new home in 1965 at 162 Hillside Road, No.
Andover. He was an electrician, and at that time he had one Volkswagen
truck which he was able to get into his two vehicle garage because there
were no ladders or tube on the truck roof.
Steve Juba worked at the Andover Companies as an electrician and built his
electrical contracting business working nights and weekends. In the early
years, his supplies were picked up at electrical supply houses on an as
needed basis. To our best recollection, the business grew and he
progressed to two trucks in the late 70's. At that time, he had a helper
working with him. His son, Stephen III went to work for his father after
graduation from high school and a semester of college in approximately
1977.
The business has grown, expanded, and flourished, increasing through the
1980's to four trucks. A fifth van was parked idle, on flat tires, in his yard
for approximately 3 years.
At present, there are five commercial vehicles registered to Juba Electric,
at 162 Hillside Road, No. Andover, MA. With two personal vehicles, this
totals seven.
We have observed another employee arriving with his vehicle, on an
almost daily basis. This truck, with roof ladders and tube, is left parked at
the Juba residence for the day because this worker drives the Juba Electric
van to his jobs. (see photos presented at the last hearing)
Since the fall of 1992, another unmarked grey truck has picked up supplies
at the residence. The Jubas (Stephen Jr., Stephen III and Claire) have told
us that he also works for the corporation. This totals, to the best of our
knowledge, six employees.
In the last approximately five years, the truck traffic .iu and out of the Juba
driveway has increased dramatically . The trucks are drawn to the Juba
home each morning. We observe them being supplied for the day's work;
some return throughout the day for supplies. Several return in the late
afternoon, unload trash into an abutting shed and two trucks depart.
In April 1992, because of an accumulation and build up of commercial
electrical units around the shed and along the garage side of the house, as
well as the idle Juba van, and because of increased traffic, Bob Kent spoke
with Steve, Jr. about the increasing problem. Steve didn't feel that it was
offensive and was upset that we would complain, stating the idle van was
his "pet" and he didn't want to get rid of it. He suggested that a tarp cover
might help. It was at this time that he stated "I need three more years of
doing business out of Hillside Road." He was annoyed! The deliveries and
truck traffic continued. In the Spring, an 18 wheeler could not navigate the
driveway and the driver proceeded to wheel supplies to the garage from the
street.
On Nov. 11, 1992, a large Ralph Pill supply truck pulled toward our
driveway, cutting the heavy morning commuter traffic, backing up into the
Juba driveway. Five men unloaded supplies for 30+ minutes into the lower
garage and family room. At this time, we realized that wholesale
warehousing was drawing the trucks back and forth throughout the day for
supplies. We recognized that the core of the problem was the wholesale
warehousing.
On Nov. 11 th, Ellen Kent immediately phoned Claire Juba concerning the
huge delivery. Claire could not understand our frustration and stated that
"She knew they had a big delivery, but they would not have another big
delivery like that for another eight weeks." Ellen asked Claire to please
have Steve phone us. There was a great need to talk.
Five days later, Steve had not contacted us. It was then that we decided to
appeal for relief, in writing and with pictures, to the Building Inspector, Bob
Nicetta. Steve Jr. and Steve III did come to .our house to discuss the issue
two days after we had appealed to the building inspector. We told them
"They had waited too long." We also stated that in our opinion and from our
observation, that he was operating a full scale commercial business and
commercial warehouse and that his garage was 'bursting at the seams'.
Steve said that he had tried to have his South Lawrence property rezoned
commercial but the chances for success were slim and relative to the costs
involved in rezoning, it is our understanding that his decision was not to go
forward with the idea.
On Nov. 18th, another delivery of electrical supplies --and materials was
made to the Juba residence. The next day, another! We have also seen
other small delivery trucks unload supplies from time to time. (Sampling of
deliveries and loading of trucks at the Juba residence is attached. This was
submitted to the Board of Appeals on February 9, 1993.)
In talking with Steve in April, he stated that he needed three more years of
doing business out of Hillside Road. In November - it had become five more
years!
This situation has become abusive, offensive and intrusive. It has been an
emotional nightmare; we have hesitated, and hesitated for quite some time,
to act on our frustration due to years of friendship, but we had no recourse!
We have given Claire and Steve opportunity and help through the years.
However, there is a distinct change in the business picture which impacts
the residential character of the neighborhood and especially us, who live
directly acroos the street from it. Our driveways are approximately 20 feet
apart. Their business, from our observation, is a full scale commerical,
electrical contracting business, with a wholesale warehousing component.
We cannot see how this can be classified as a home occupation as defined
by the town By -Laws. This business should now be moved to a
commercially zoned area.
In summary:
-The Juba business has grown from 1 man to 5 or more employees or
sub contractors.
-The number of vehicles registered to Juba Electric has increased
from 1 to 5. With 2 personal vehicles, this brings the total to 7
registered to that address.
-The traffic in and out of the driveway, directly across from our home,
has increased many times over what it was when the business
was started.
-The large deliveries of electrical supplies and equipment violates the
2 1/2 ton restriction on Hillside Road.
-The daily, and constant, coming and going of the Juba Electric
vehicles easily adds up to many., many vehicle trips each day.
This business is not a home occupation according to the By -Laws of
either 1972 or 1967. It states that a home occupation be
conducted within the structure or in the dwelling.
The Juba Electric business is a full-scale electrical contracting
business and should be required to move to a commercially
zoned area.
We appeal to the Board to uphold the Building Inspector's decision and to
enforce the By-laws that are designed to protect us..
Signed under the pains and penalties of perjury, this d J day of

Affidavit
We, Ellen and Bob Kent, have lived at 171 Hillside Road, North Andover,
MA since 1957 directly across from the Juba residence. (Refer to photos)
Stephen and Claire Juba built a new home in 1965 at 162 Hillside Road, No.
Andover. He was an electrician, and at that time he had one Volkswagen
truck which he was able to get into his two vehicle garage because there
were no ladders or tube on the truck roof.
Steve Juba worked at the Andover Companies as an electrician and built his
electrical contracting business working nights and weekends. In the early
years, his supplies were picked up at electrical supply houses on an as
needed basis. To our best recollection, the business grew and he
progressed to two trucks in the late 70's. At that time, he had a helper
working with him. His son, Stephen III went to work for his father after
graduation from high school and a semester of college in approximately
1977.
The business has grown, expanded, and flourished, increasing through the
1980's to four trucks. A fifth van was parked idle, on flat tires, in his yard
for approximately 3 years.
At present, there are five commercial vehicles registered to Juba Electric,
at 162 Hillside Road, No. Andover, MA. With two personal vehicles, this
totals seven.
We have observed another employee arriving with his vehicle, on an
almost daily basis. This truck, with roof ladders and tube, is left parked at
the Juba residence for the day because this worker drives the Juba Electric
van to his jobs. (see photos presented at the last hearing)
Since the fall of 1992, another unmarked grey truck has picked up supplies
at the residence. The Jubas (Stephen Jr., Stephen III and Claire) have told
us that he also works for the corporation. This totals, to the best of our
knowledge, six employees.
In the last approximately five years, the truck traffic -in_ and out of the Juba
driveway has increased dramatically . The trucks are drawn to the Juba
home each morning. We observe them being supplied for the day's work;
some return throughout the day for supplies. Several return in the late
afternoon, unload trash into an abutting shed and two trucks depart.
In April 1992, because of an accumulation and build up of commercial
electrical units around the shed and along the garage side of the house, as
well as the idle Juba van, and because of increased traffic, Bob Kent spoke
with Steve, Jr. about the increasing problem. Steve didn't feel that it was
offensive and was upset that we would complain, stating the idle van was
his "pet" and he didn't want to get rid of it. He suggested that a tarp cover
might help. It was at this time that he stated "I need three more years of
doing business out of Hillside Road." He was annoyed! The deliveries and
truck traffic continued. In the Spring, an 18 wheeler could not navigate the
driveway and the driver proceeded to wheel supplies to the garage from the
street.
On Nov. 11, 1992, a large Ralph Pill supply truck pulled toward our
driveway, cutting the heavy morning commuter traffic, backing up into the
Juba driveway. Five men unloaded supplies for 30+ minutes into the lower
garage and family room. At this time, we realized that wholesale
warehousing was drawing the trucks back and forth throughout the day for
supplies. We recognized that the core of the problem was the wholesale
warehousing.
On Nov. 11th, Ellen Kent immediately phoned Claire Juba concerning the
huge delivery. Claire could not understand our frustration and stated that
"She knew they had a big delivery, but they would not have another big
delivery like that for another eight weeks." Ellen asked Claire to please
have Steve phone us. There was a great need to talk.
Five days later, Steve had not contacted us. It was then that we decided to
appeal for relief, in writing and with pictures, to the Building Inspector, Bob
Nicetta. Steve Jr. and Steve III did come to .our house to discuss the issue
two days after we had appealed to the building inspector. We told them
"They had waited too long." We also stated that in our opinion and from our
observation, that he was operating a full scale commercial business and
commercial warehouse and that his garage was 'bursting at the seams'.
Steve said that he had tried to have his South Lawrence property rezoned
commercial but the chances for success were slim and relative to the costs
involved in rezoning, it is our understanding that his decision was not to go
forward with the idea.
On Nov. 18th, another delivery of electrical supplies, and materials was
made to the Juba residence. The next day, another! We have also seen
other small delivery trucks unload supplies from time to time. (Sampling of
deliveries and loading of trucks at the Juba residence is attached. This was
submitted to the Board of Appeals on February 9, 1993.)
In talking with Steve in April, he stated that he needed three more years of
doing business out of Hillside Road. In November - it had become five more
years!
This situation has become abusive, offensive and intrusive. It has been an
emotional nightmare; we have hesitated, and hesitated for quite some time,
to act on our frustration due to years of friendship, but we had no recourse!
We have given Claire and Steve opportunity and help through the years.
However, there is a distinct change in the business picture which impacts
the residential character of the neighborhood and especially us, who live
directly acroos the street from it. Our driveways are approximately 20 feet
apart. Their business, from our observation, is a full scale commerical,
electrical contracting business, with -a wholesale warehousing component.
We cannot see how this can be classified as a home occupation as defined
by the town By -Laws. This business should now be moved to a
commercially zoned area.
In summary:
-The Juba business has grown from 1 man to 5 or more employees or
sub contractors.
-The number of vehicles registered to Juba Electric has increased
from 1 to 5. With 2 personal vehicles, this brings the total to 7
registered to that address.
-The traffic in and out of the driveway, directly across from our home,
has increased many times over what it was when the business
was started.
-The large deliveries of electrical supplies and equipment violates the
2 1/2 ton restriction on Hillside Road.
-The daily, and constant, coming and going of the Juba Electric
vehicles easily adds up to many., many vehicle trips each day.
This business is not a home occupation according to the By -Laws of
either 1972 or 1967. It states that a home occupation be
conducted within the structure or in the dwelling.
The Juba Electric business is a full-scale electrical contracting
business and should be required to move to a commercially
zoned area.
We appeal to the Board to uphold the Building Inspector's decision and to
enforce the By-laws that are designed to protect us.

Dear Sirs:
My name is William Scopa and I reside at 161 Hillside Road which is directly opposite from
Stephen Juba. Recently, I received a letter from another neighbor, stating that Steve and Claire
Juba are decent and honorable people. I wholeheartedly agree that this is a true statement, as do
all the neighbors, but this is not the issue here.
At the last meeting, on the subject of conducting a business in a residential neighborhood,
Mr. Juba's attorney mentioned an absurd example of not actually doing work at the residence.
Frankly, his example was insulting and still not at issue here. The problem is, the growth of the
business which can be easily substantiated by tax records.
I am especially concerned with the number and size of the trucks coming and going on a daily
basis. Not only is the property used as a centralized garaging for vehicles but very large delivery
tricks make frequent shipments of supplies to the house.
I cannot see where Mr. Juba is willing to make any compromise in this matter. If he had spoken
up and offered to contain Ills operation in any way, it would have helped his cause. We've
expressed our concerns openly and expect Mr. Juba to do the same concerning his intentions.
1 sincerely hope this matter can be resolved and our neighborhood restored to the residential, safe,
noiseless street that we enjoyed before the escalation of Mr. Juba's business.

Dear Sirs:

102 Hillside Road
No. Andover, MA 01845
February 23, 1993
I am writing this letter to let you know what I have observed over the past many
years, with respect to Juba Electric Company. (Stephen Juba)
I, Michael Schena, owned and operated a business as, Michael Schena; Designer
and Builder. My business operated from the early 60's up to the early 80's.
During the early years that I was in business, I hired Stephen Juba as an
electrical sub -contractor. His sub -contracting work for me was from the mid
60's to the mid 70's. During that time Steve Juba came to work for me alone or
with a helper. To my knowledge, he did not have full-time help. He worked full-
time at the Andover Companies, as he still does today, but he only worked nights
and weekends at his side business.
During the time that I hired him (60's -70's) he owned one VW bus/van that was,
as I would say, his shop on wheels. His helper came in his own car. (I might
remind you that Steve did admit this at the hearing. He said "He could not afford
the four vans he now has.") The VW would always be loaded as it appeared that
the wheels could not take much more. In this truck was what I would estimate to
be 95% of his supplies. He would pick up materials for my jobs, when he
needed them, from the local electrical supply firms.
On or about mid 74, it became apparent to me that I had to find a new electrical
sub -contractor because my jobs were being delayed because Steve Juba, being a
full time employee of the Andover Companies, only worked on myjobs at night
and on weekends. A helper was present only some of the time. It was necessar-,,
for me to hire another firm that had full-time employees so that I could vet my
work done in a timely fashion. _
Therefore, I hired Lambert Electric, George Lambert owner. George worked
with at least one full-time and most of the time with two employees. He was not
large, but was sufficient for my needs and was available during the regular work
ktay.
I am relating the above to try to show the board that during the time Juba
Electric worked as a sub -contractor to Michael Schena, Designer and Builder,
Steve customarily did the work himself with, on occassion, a helper.
I can therefore only conclude that he did not have 5 employees prior to 1974. I
would also estimate that the business volume was probably about 10% of what it
is today.
I was in his house and in his basement many times during the late 60's and early
70's. In fact, I did the interior finish when his home was being built. His "office"
consisted of a small writing surface, approximately 2' square between his kitchen
and family room. As I stated before, his electrical supplies were in the bus/van
and he picked up on an "as needed" basis during this time.
The situation before the board is - Has there been a change in Steve's business?
Yes, a tremendous amount of change has happened. He has gone from 1 vehicle
and 1 helper to at least 4 vehicles and a garage/cellar/playroom area containing a
considerable amount of electrical supplies. I understand that he as even stated
publicly that he now buys in bulk because he can get a better price.
Change ves because from my observation, Mr. Juba has gone from working the
business himself with one full-time, or part-time helper to now having four
employees, plus himself. It also appears that, on occassion, he may Have as many
as 6 or 7 employees or other help because unmarked vehicles co ale and go for
supplies.
Change yes, from picking up supplies at the electrical supply companies to having
truck loads delivered to his house on a regular basis. (evicienced by photos
submitted at the last hearing)
Change ves, that the employees daily come to the house and load up he 3 trans
and his pick-up truck and routinely return during the wort: day for messages and
supplies. In addition, at other times, another unmarked van has been seen
coming and going from the residence. (see photos submitted at the last hearing)
I can only conclude that Juba Electric Co. may well be larger than some other
electrical contractors in town. However, Juba Electric -Is working oiit of a
residential zone.
e
to
I want the board to know that I wish Mr. Juba and his business every success and
hope he continues to grow but my only request is that he relocate to a
commerical district and stop running this business from a residential
area. It is detrimental to the neighborhood because it affects our property
values; the aesthetic appearance of Hillside Road; and the increased traffic from
his driveway can easily amount to 25+ vehicle trips on any given day.
My request to the Board of appeals is that we, the neighbors, be afforded the
rights and protection guaranteed to us in our zoning by-laws.
We, the neighbors, have certainly given Juba Electric every advantage over these
years to grow and prosper. He has grown and his business has changed to the
point now where it is now so large that it is objectionable and detrir.;Lntal to she
residential character of the neighborhood.
We can no longer let a full-blown commercial business operate in a residential
zone to the detriment of our properties.
The non -conforming use standard, as I view it, should be the 1972 zoning by -lav .
Juba Electric did not have 5 employees, 4 trucks and a cellar/garage/playroom
with electrical supplies when this by-law went into effect.
I therefore ask that the board uphold the decision of the Building Inspector.
Sincerely,
Michael Schena
