The owner of a lot that had truck loads of snow piled up more than 30 feet high on a lot on Elm Street lost its appeal that they violated the town’s zoning rules, will be fined and may have to pay for an environmental study. The lot had hundreds of truck loads of snow delivered in late February. Eastside Town Councilor Angeline Kounelis said she received complaints from residents and she reported the snow dump to the town, including Zoning Enforcement Officer Michael Mena. Mena sent a order to cease the dumping and remove the snow on Feb. 23. The manager of the site, Bill Dillon, appealed the ruling.
