OSSIPEE — The town of Ossipee was awarded a judgment to collect $77,000 in zoning fines from a couple whose property was twice cleaned up by town staff. However, the fines were even higher before a Carroll County Superior Court judge decided to give the couple a break because items of sentimental value were tossed.
On March 26, Judge Mark Attorri held a hearing in the case of “Town of Ossipee v Paul Hackett Jr.,” and he issued an order the same day.
