The Axe Brothers are trying to turn our quiet neighborhood into an industrial timber yard while the zoning board stays silent. I am spending every waking hour fighting their permit application and we will not let them destroy the environment next to Robbins Brook just to pad their profits.
December 10, 2013
Axe Brothers and their greedy plans for Robbins Brook are officially on notice because of the momentum we have built together. This groundswell of outrage proves we will not sit back while they turn our neighborhood into a noisy industrial dumping ground.

There are over 200 residents in this "senior" community, most chose this location because of aged related limitations. They should not have the hazards related to this outdoor manufacturing to deal with as well.
The manufacture of firewood next to this community would create polution which would be detrimental to the many people here with already compromised breathing.
For many reasons we oppose giving the Axe Brothers the permit - such as it will impact where we live, because of the polution it will cause, the noise level, it will change the character of this area. Once you allow heavy out door industry, this opens the door to others requesting the same permit. Have you considered how this will affect other businesses in this area that have offices and where the noise will probably make the tenants move. Property at robbins Brook will go down and your tax base will be erroded.
I totally oppose Acton issuing Axe Brothers a special permit to manufacture firewwood, or anything else outdoors on the property abutting Robbins Brook. Axe Brothers has proven time and time again a lack of concern for the residents and its neighbors and has shown no regard as to pollution or noise. Living as I do 300 yards from the site, I am severely impacted by the disturbance both by the buses going in and out, and by the noise of the log cutting.
This operation is currently in violation of zoning laws. And for the benefit of not only the Senior Robbins Brook Community that it imposes on, but for the future sake of the residents of this town, it should not be allowed to operate in this location.
They will never be able to curb the noise.
I oppose Axe Bros. Special permit application to manufacture firewood next to Robbins Brook.

We really don't need this when in fact there are a least 3 other fire wood operations within a 5 mile radius of our homes.
