Ext. 1292 Fax (508) 398-0836 Colleen McLaughlin, Office Administrator (cmclaughtin@yarmouth.ma.us) YARMOUTH HISTORICAL. COMMISSION March 29, 2010 Mr. & Mrs. Thomas Coleman 10 Hidden Brick Road Hopkinton, MA 01748 Dear Mr. & Mrs. Coleman: Thank you for appearing before the Commission last Tuesday to discuss your plans for the buildings at 214 Pleasant Street, South Yarmouth, MA. The Historical Commission appreciates your cooperation in reviewing the property for its potential historical, architectural, or cultural significance to the Town of Yarmouth. On Saturday, March 27, the Historical Commission members, along with your architect and builder, met at the property and conducted a site visit. After examining the wide plank flooring, wood paneling on the fireplace wails, hand-hewn ceiling beams, doors, hardware, fireplace bricks, and windows of the oldest area of the house, the Commission members unanimously voted that the property is a significant structure that enhances the history, architecture, and culture of Yarmouth. In making that determination, the Commission has begun the demolition delay process. The next step is a public hearing to discuss the issue of whether the demolition would be detrimental. Town ordinance requires that the legal ad for the hearing be published two times in The Register. Since The Register is a weekly newspaper, the ads will run on April 8 and April 15. The hearing will be held on.Tuesday, April 20, at 3:00 pm in the Hearing Room at Town Hall. Based on the results of that meeting, the Commission will have 10 days in which to notify you whether or not the demolition of the antique portion of the existing house would be detrimental to the history, architecture, or culture of Yarmouth. If we find it to be detrimental, the 60 -day demolition delay period will begin on the date the determination is made. At their March 27 meeting, the Commission also discussed your request to remove the garage immediately. Based on the age of the garage and its location relative to the antique section of the house, the Commission voted unanimously to allow the removal of the garage at your convenience. Our only requirement is that you use care in removing that section so that the structural integrity of the historic part of the house is preserved. If you wish to begin removal of the garage, you will need to file a new application with the Building Department for that section only. With regards to the letter received today via email, it is my understanding that you may want to use some of the historically significant features in the remodel of the existing guest cottage. To help us with the writing of advertisements for the remaining material, we ask that you give us a specific list of what and how much you think you might use. (For example, wood paneling for a 10' x 12' room with 8' ceiling.) Upon receipt of more specific information, the Commission will consider your request for removing the specified material before the conclusion of the demolition delay period. Should you have any questions regarding this letter or the demolition delay process, please contact our Colleen McLaughlin, Office Administrator, at 508-398-2231 x1292 or by email at cmclaughlin@varmouth,ma.us.

It was a pleasure meeting you all. As we stated during the meeting, the old part of the existing house does not fit into our plans for the property. We do realize however that the wide plank flooring, old fireplace wood paneling, iron fireplace accessories, hewn ceiling beams, door and hardware as well as some windows are of value. We are giving some consideration to using some of these parts from the "old house" in the renovation of the existing guest cottage on the property, lust not sure of the feasibility of this at the present time. We would like to donate to the Yarmouth Historical Commission the items not used in this renovation. We would like permission to start removing the historically significant items from the house as soon as possible to store them safely away in case of vandalism, which could occur when attention is publicly drawn to our property. Also, we would like to ask if we could have permission to demolish in the near future the other portions of the building including the garage, which are not deemed of historical value. We appreciate your consideration, Sincerely, J Ohl f 1� t�{ f rLMAR -.�.

We are truly sorry that we are not able attend the public meeting on Tuesday, May 4"' at 3pm. We have both had other long- standing appointments for this time and thought we had expressed this issue to the committee a few weeks ago. Hopefully, our builder Rich Celeste and our architect Sara Jane Porter can attend in our place. We are currently reviewing two options with regards to the historically significant portion of the existing home. The first option is to use the following list to renovate the existing guest cottage on the property and/or for the construction of a wine cellar in the new structure. -Approx. 450 sq. ft. of wide pine flooring -Fireplace accessories -Fireplace paneling -Front door -Nine over six windows -All hardware Anything not used is as previously stated in our meeting can be available to the Town of Yarmouth. The second option is the sale of the structure to a Cape Cod gentleman who has done these kinds of restorations in the past. He will be viewing the structure within the next 10 to 14 days. We will keep you advised of the situation as soon as we know. We appreciate your consideration.

I am prepared to offer 1,000. for the salvage and will need approximately 1 week. I have workers compensation and liability insurance and will provide certificates naming you and/or your builder.
