Subject: P{ease review.
On August 20, 200�a meeting to review the use and status or the Captain Jonathan Motel was
held at Yarmouth Town Hall by the Yarmouth Board of Health. At this meeting it was requested
that we, as diligent owners, reiterate the position that our facility is not and cannotbe used as
permanent OR temporary housing. Lodging at�he Captain Jonathan Motel is granted to transient
guests as defined by the Town of Yarmouth;the definition of which reads:
Transient Occupancy: For purposes of the limitations of Motel or Hotel use,Transient
occupancy shall be limited to the temporary and short term occupancy, ordinarily and
customarily associated with the motel and hotel use. Transient occupants must have and be
able to demonstrate that they maintain a principal place of residence elsewhere. Transient
occupancy shall generally refer to continuous occupancy of not more than thirty(30) days,
and an aggregate of not more than ninety(90) days within any six (6) month period. Use of
a guest unit as a residence or dwelling unit shall not be considered transient. Occupancy
that is subject to the collection of Room Occupancy Excise, as defined in M.G.L. c. 64G or
83o CMR 64G, as amended shall generally be considered transient.
Realizing that the Captain Jonathan Motel currently offers long-term stays to our guests who are
working in the area,the Board of Health has tentatively given limited authorization to continue
this use through 200�and into the early months of 2008, provided that the current guests, once
their individual work and projects in this area have been completed, depart in the fashion of a
typical hotel guest, and any return visits must be in compliance with the terms of our motel license,
which is limited to transient occupancy only.
As a condition of this authorization, the Board of Health has required us to establish departure
dates for all of our guests as we transition to a seasonal motel property. Please notify the desk as
soon as possible as to your anticipated departure date. Realizing that the requirements and
timetables of work assignments can change,we understand that the actual departure date may
differ slightly from the estimated departure date,but we ask that you provide us with the most
accurate information that you have available.
