Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court August 21, 1986 (Cappuccio v. Zoning Board of Appeals of Spencer)

Lynch, J.

The plaintiffs are owners of a parcel of real estate known as “Sherwood Beach” on Thompson Pond Road in Spencer. In February, 1985, the intervener filed a petition with the zoning board of appeals of Spencer (board) alleging that the plaintiffs’ use of Sherwood Beach as a concert site was an extension of a nonconforming use in violation of Spencer’s zoning by-law.
