Re: 51 Abells Road Accessory Apartment Status
Dear Mr. & Ms. Fowler:
On October 26, 1989 the Zoning Board of Appeals granted the former property owners, Bruce &
Eleanor Gustowski a Special Permit to allow the construction and use of an Family Related Accessory
Apartment,via Petition No.268. That Petition was granted pursuant to the provisions of Zoning Bylaw
Section 407. Please be advised that Section 407.3.1, para. 3 provides that "the Special Permit for a
family related accessory apartment shall terminate upon the sale of the property or transfer of title to the
dwelling unless the new owner(s) files a new Declaration of Covenants at the Barnstable Registry of
Deeds at the time of transfer or within 45 days of the sale". "If no action is taken ----then the new
owner(s) must apply for re-approval of the Special Permit".
In reviewing the Assessors' records I see that you took ownership of the property on September 12,
2018. Accordingly,you are required to take this action by submitting an application with the Board in
order to retain the use of the Accessory Apartment.
Please contact me should you have any questions concerning this matter or the Board of Appeals
procedures.
Very truly,
James D. Brandolini,
Deputy Building Commissioner
