Overview

The Town of Seekonk, by and through its Zoning Enforcement Officer (“Town”), seeks

to enjoin commercial activity underway at residentially zoned property located at 1568 Fall

River Avenue, Seekonk, Massachusetts (the “Property”). Specifically, the Property is being used

to park commercial vehicles and store commercial equipment in a residential district without the

special permit relief required under Seekonk Zoning By-law (“ZBL”) §6.3, and the activity is

disturbing adjacent residential property occupants. The Town seeks injunctive relief requiring

Defendants Matthew Medeiros (d/b/a and a/k/a M J Construction) and Dorothy Goncalo cease all

commercial activity at the Property until the Property has the benefit of a Special Permit to allow

commercial activity at the Property under ZBL §6.3
