ROCHESTER — After two years of going through the Zoning Board of Appeals, Planning Board, the Historic District Commission and more, a new used car shop is one step closer to becoming a reality.

“Briggs Hobby Barn,” owned by Mark Briggs, will consist of two newly built buildings to store collectable automobiles, trucks and other motor vehicles in addition to a private hobby barn.

On Monday, July 7, Select Board members voted unanimously to approve of a new dealers license for the sale of used vehicles at 618 New Bedford Road.

“It’s my understanding that all of the boards have made their special requirements and approvals for this special license and the special permit from the Zoning Board of Appeals has been approved with specific guidelines or specifications,” said Town Administrator Cameron Durant.

With this license, Briggs will be able to purchase cars in auctions, have more than three unlicensed vehicles on the property and obtain dealer plates, which would facilitate Briggs’ ability to purchase classic cars.

The license will be issued on an annual basis and would not be renewed if Briggs violates the terms of the license, said Select Board Chair Adam Murphy.

These terms include the prohibition of: storing vehicles, materials and vehicle-repair equipment outside; posting “for sale” signs along the road; operating outside the hours of 8 p.m. and 8 a.m.; and displaying cars for sale at the front of the property.

“There’s nothing on the roadside other than a mailbox,” Murphy said.

Potential customers will also be required to make appointments before showing up on the property to look at Briggs’ vehicles.

Under the licenses’ specifications, Briggs will be limited to a maximum of two sales a year.

At the July 7 meeting, several residents raised some questions regarding the hobby barn and dealers license.

Resident Matt Monteiro, who lives on New Bedford Road, said he was concerned about a business “popping up next to my house” when the land had been zoned in a way that it wouldn’t be a business.

According to Murphy, Briggs Hobby Barn isn’t considered a business because the primary purpose of the dealers license is to allow Briggs to buy and sell cars, not establish a dealership.

Another resident said she was concerned with how much noise constructing cars would bring to New Bedford Road.

According to Briggs, the majority of noise will come from building the two structures, which he said would ideally be wrapped up in August.

“If everything stays on time then we’ll apply for a certificate of occupancy in that time and all the trucks go away,” he said.

Briggs also explained that most of the work he will do on the property will be repairs rather than constructing vehicles.

As an example, he noted that rebuilding a vehicle’s brakes wouldn’t generate a lot of noise, especially since the work would be done inside one of the buildings.

“We can restore the cars safely inside a controlled environment,” he said.
