Ms. Kelly Grant
Conservation Office
Town of Yarmouth
Dear Kelly,
Thank you for your time providing me information on the process for requesting a Variance to place an
8X12 shed on my property at 9 Eider Street.
Per our conversation, you informed me that on Thursday october 3rd you will present my request to
move forward for the Variance to the Committee who will make a decision on whether I can proceed
with the Variance request.
I want to provide more context on my request for the committee to consider.
My father and mother purchased the home in 1971, their permanent residence was in Western Mass
and they spent their summers at the Cape house.
l, my wife and two sons have spent our summers at the house for over 30 years enjoying it completely
with so many special memories.
It is a small Cape house with no basement only a crawl space that isn't suitable for storage. Therefore,
the living room was used as the storage area for the fall and winter months for the lawn mower,
outdoor furniture, tools etc.
Unfortunately my parents are now deceased, my dad as recently as 18 months a8o.
My wife and I inherited the Cape House. WE are in our early 60's it's been our lifelong dream to retire at
the house.
We will not be able to retire at the house if we are prohibited from having a shed
There is no other storage space available in the house nor anywhere else to place a shed on the
property.
We both understand the need to be mindful of conservation land, yet we believe allowing the shed to
be placed at the site will prevent our dog and our sons dog from going into the wetland and disturbing
the nature there or more importantly any wildlife.
We hope the committee will take this information into consideration in the declsion to go forward with
the Variance request.
Sincerely
Rich and Maureen Covell
