PETITIONER: Thomas Grew Jr.
PROPERTY-, 12 Saltworks Lane. South VarmOuth, MA
Map 60, Parcel 211
Zoning District: RS-40
Title: Book 32920. Page 31.9
MEMBERS PRESENT AND VOTING: Chairman Steven DeYoung, Mr. Igoe, Mr. Fraprie
and Mr. Kelley
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 Crete Cod Times. the hearing opened and held on the date stated above.
The Petitioner:. Thomas Grew Jr. seeks relief in connection with property located at 12
Saltworks Ln., South Yarmouth, MA which property is in an RS-40 Zoning District. The
Petitioner seeks a Special Permit and/or a Variance to proceed with the raze and replacement of a
pre-existing non -conforming dwelling structure. Relief is needed for the front setback.
The Petitioner did a very fine job in presenting his Petition, which was not necessarily
complicated The new structure will modernize the property. Though it is non -conforming, the
Petitioner intends to increase the front setback from the existing 5.5 feet to 18.5 feet, thus
decreasing the nonconformity.
The Board agreed that the proper relief was tTiat of a Variance. The Board concurred
that the requested relief met the criteria for the grant of a Variance. The literal enforcement of the
bylaw would result in a substantial detriment to the Petitioner, particularly since the hardship is
based upon a condition that will be minimized in its nonconformity if granted. The lot is a very
narrow yet long lot. Mowing it further back from the street than is the present location will
substantially reduce the nonconformity. in this particular case, the grant of a Variance may be
granted without substantial detriment to the public good and without nullifying or substantially
derogating from the intent or purpose of such ordinance of bylaw.
A TRUE COPY ANTE ST.-
A motion was made by Mr. Fraprie, seconded by Mr. Igoe to allow the grant of the
Variance as prayed for by the Petitioner. A roll call vote was conducted with the Board voting
unanimously in favor of the grant of the Variance, and the Variance was therefore granted
without condition.
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)
