Property owner Joseph Raschi challenged a cease-and-desist order from Zoning Enforcement Officer Rick Rachele alleging violations at 174 Shaker Road, including timber processing and an alleged accessory apartment. Raschi, represented by attorney George Schober, removed the storage trailer and mulch piles from the property but declined to allow an inspection to verify the apartment claim.
