The Pearl Street Mobil at 281 Pearl Street was closed years ago and the City of Burlington filed a zoning violation on the property. The property was turned into an unpermitted private parking area and the city has an active enforcement action in Environmental Court on the property. The proceedings were documented in filings with the court in the Fall of 2021 when 3 city staff members gave testimony about the conditions we have monitored since 2019. The property owner is subject to fines up to $200 a day. The decision is in the hands of an Environmental Court Judge now and we expect a ruling soon.
We will post the ruling here when we receive it so residents can see we have been monitoring it regularly and attempting to bring the property into compliance. It still gets monitored regular while we await the judge’s ruling. The attached photo is from last weekend on March 21st.
