Gilvania Maria Pereira Paiva
PROPERTY: 17 Witchwood Road, South Yarmouth, MA
Map 68, Parcel 191
Zoning District: R-40
Title: Book 32381, Page 110
MEMBERS PRESENT AND VOTING: Chairman Steven DeYoung, Sean Igoe, Richard
Martin, Jay Fraprie and Tom Baron
Notice of the hearing has been given by sending notice thereof to the Petitioner and all those owners of
property as required by law, and to the public by posting notice of the hearing and publishing in The
Register, the hearing opened and held on the date stated above.
The applicant is Gilvania Maria Pereira Paiva who seeks a Special Permit pursuant to By -Law
§202.5 in order to permit the operation of a family day care within a residential unit. The
Petitioner did a fine job in presenting her request for relief in connection with the property
located at 17 Witchwood Road, South Yarmouth, MA, which is located in the R-40 Zoning
District. The request for the opportunity to use this property as a family day care requires a
Special Permit pursuant to the Use Code designation P-7 A.
The Petitioner presented evidence that there are designated areas in which the daycare will be
conducted within the home that appeared satisfactory. The Petitioner submitted copies of her
license from the Commonwealth of Massachusetts allowing for up to 6 children to be in
attendance, letters of recommendation/support and photographs of the interior and exterior of the
home. The home has adequate driveway space in order to permit cars to enter and leave safely
when dropping off/picking up children. The petitioner explained that not all children arrive at the
same time nor depart at the same time.
The Board was in agreement that the relief, if granted, would cause no undue nuisance, hazard or
congestion to the neighborhood, and that there will be no detriment to the character of the
neighborhood or town both now and in the future. Recognizing that the availability of daycare is
critical to many parents, it was the Board's opinion that the grant of relief would be a benefit to
the community by making more daycare available to working parents. Though the hours of

operation were reported by the Petitioner to be 7 AM to 5 PM, Monday through Friday only, in
order to assist in staggering pickup/drop-off times, it was suggested and accepted by the Board
that the hours of operation be allowed to extend from 7 AM to 6 PM, Monday through Friday
only. This was made an express condition of the grant of relief, i.e., that the hours of operation of
the daycare be from 7 AM to 6 PM Monday through Friday only, and that the Petitioner
endeavor to stagger drop-off and pickup times for the children.
A motion was made by Mr. Martin, seconded by Mr. Baron to grant the Special Permit on the
conditions as so set forth. The motion passed unanimously and the Special Permit with the stated
conditions was, therefore, granted.
No permit shall issue until 20 days from the filing of this decision with the Town Clerk. Appeals
from this decision shall be made pursuant to MGL c40A section 17 and must be filed within 20
days after filing of this notice/decision with the Town Clerk. Unless otherwise provided herein, the
Special Permit shall lapse if a substantial use thereof has not begun within 24 months. (See bylaw
§ 103.2.5, MGL c40A §9)
