Critic Wins Case Over Horse Stabling in North Adams
Raymond F. Babeu won a civil suit against a city horse barn, with Superior Court Judge Donald M. Macaulay ordering the North Adams Building Inspector to bar stabling at William B. Whitney’s barn for violating setbacks and zoning. The judge refused to mandate removal but suggested corrections via conveyances. Whitney, owner of 2.8 acres across four parcels, was found in violation and not meeting farmland requirements. Babeu, once living near the barn, vows continued opposition and will push for full horse registrations and tax assessments in the city.
