Public Hearing: Item 199338 - New Garage License - Mass Inspection
Comments were made by Mazen Fare and Joe Centrella, who questioned a letter sent out to
the community, i.e., he was seeking clarification on the type of work that would be
performed at the garage. The committee questioned if the business had a used car license
and directed the applicant to remove a used car sign that abuts a neighbor's property.
The committee was in receipt of an email from a resident which spoke about a trailer on the
property, (in the open lot under the billboards), and trash disposal. The proprietor, Edgar
Fayed, was asked about the purpose of the trailer.
197553: Sign/Awning Permit, Brazil Express, 429 Somerville Ave., 1 sign.
Mr. Long reported that several attempts were made to reach the business owner, to no avail. Mr.
Smiljic provided photos of this and other businesses on the street and pointed out that no other
businesses have awnings.
