Notice of the hearing has been given by sending notice thereof to the Petitioner and all those owners

The Rcgrsier-, the hearing opened and held on the date as stated above.
The Petitioner is Ryan Family Amusement, Inc. Marian S. Rose, Esquire, Peter Campbell, and
William Campbell, both of Ryan Family Amusement, Inc, appeared in support of the Petition. The
Petition is in connection with the Property located at 1067 Rt. 28, South Yarmouth which is in the
B-2 Zoning District,
The Petitioner seeks relief under 104.:3.2.4 and footnote 202.5-N of the Use Regulation Schedule
202.5 which provides that a Petitioner must seek a Special Permit to secure permission to use a
property in the B-2 district for entertainment use. Petitioner seeks to expand existing and new
entertainment uses into an adjacent space in a building over which Petitioner has recently secured a
whole -building lease. Specifically, Petitioner seeks to move the arcade area from the existing space
into the expanded space and add corn -hole and axe throwing as new entertainment uses in the
expanded space. All work contemplated by this petition will be interior work. Petitioner has
operated a bowling alley and arcade business in the building for decades. The existing entertainment
uses, while allowed in the B-2 district, are pre-existing nonconforming because they were in
existence prior to changes in the Yarmouth Zoning By -Law requiring approval by special permit for
such uses. To expand both the arcade, corn -hole and axe throwing uses into the expanded space, the
Petitioner seeks special permit relief from the Board.

A discussion, including questions and consideration, took place concerning the design and safety
features of the axe throwing venue, the Petitioner's record for safety practices and the prior review
and grant of entertainment and liquor licenses by the Yarmouth Select Board in connection to this
project. Further discussion involved the need to replace landscape planting in the buffer and traffic
islands on site.
The Board noted the history of the Petitioner as a good neighbor with a positive impact on the
community. It further noted that the expansion of entertainment uses to the newly leased mid-
section of the building would enhance entertainment options for Town residents of all ages. The
Board determined that relief could be granted. without creating any undue hazard, nuisance or
congestion and that the project as shown on the plans will not result in any substantial harm to the
existing or future character of the neighborhood, zoning district or Town.
After discussion of the merits of the Petition, a Motion was made by Mr. Igoe and seconded by Mr.
Fraprie to approve the grant of a Special Permit subject to the conditions that four 3" caliper trees be
planted in each of the two islands in the Property's parking area and that two additional trees be
planted in the buffer located along Rt. 28.
A vote was taken on the Special Permit and was passed by unanimous (4-0) vote. Therefore the
Special Permit was granted.
No permit shall issue until 20 days from the filing of this decision with the Town Clerk. This
decision must be recorded at the Registry of Deeds and a copy forwarded to the Zoning Board of
Appeals. Appeals from this decision shall be made pursuant to MGL Chapter 40A 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, MGL c40A §9)
