Suffolk.     February 28, 2013.  ‑  June 6, 2013. Present:  Vuono, Rubin, & Sullivan, JJ.   Zoning, By‑law, Nonconforming use or structure.  Municipal Corporations, By‑laws and ordinances.       Civil action commenced in the Land Court Department on April 29, 2010.   The case was heard by Gordon H. Piper, J., on motions for summary judgment.     Brian M. Hurley for the plaintiff. Katharine I. Doyle for the defendant.     SULLIVAN, J.  This appeal calls upon us to decide the reach of a town bylaw amendment that expanded the reasons for discontinuation of nonconforming uses, and the relationship between that bylaw and the first and third paragraphs of G. L. c. 40A, § 6.  Plainville Asphalt Corp.
