Re: 33 Pleasant Street
As you are aware, the Historical Commission approved the partial demolition and renovations at
33 Pleasant Street in 2019. The approval letter and associated elevation plans are attached.
In Fall 2021, the Town was notified that the project was moving forward. Based on information
submitted and attached here, the Town confirmed that the associated demolition was under the
25% Cape Cod Commission threshold. As the plans remained consistent with the 2019 plans, the
contractor was given permission to proceed.
The Owner and Builder will be in attendance at the Commission’s Thursday, March 10 meeting
to discuss the project and to answer any questions that the Commission may have regarding this
project. We have received some guidance from Sarah Korjeff at the Cape Cod Commission. I
believe that the Owner/Builder have provided the information outlined in Ms. Korjeff’s email.
Understanding that demolition had gone beyond that which was originally proposed, the Building
Department stopped work at the site. Actual demolition calculations and some photos of the work
are attached here as well as an explanation for the extent of demolition from the Owner and
Builder. Please note that the original plans for the building have not changed and remain consistent
with the Commission’s original 2019 approval. The Owner is preparing plans reflecting the actual
work done that will meet the requirements of the Building Department.
For your review and consideration, I’ve attached the following relevant materials:
2019 Approval Letter and associated elevation plans
Fall 2021 Floor Area Calculations
Email exchange with Sarah Korjeff, Cape Cod Commission
Email exchange with Owner and Builder, Revised Calculations and Photos
For the project to move forward, the Yarmouth Historical Commission needs to submit a letter to
the Building Department reconfirming their approval of the plans.
