APR 14 202
YARMoT ri;-goano or ipp'Eers
My name is Judith Link and I reside at 18 N. Sandyside Lane in
Yarmouth Port with my husband Mark.
I want to start by stating that we support development of the
downtown area. At the same time, development should not come at the
cost of the surrounding residences. Building codes serve an important
purpose and should be respected.
I would also like to revisit some of the discussion at the last hearing
that occurred on September 9,2027. At that hearing, a board member
asked the petitioners if they had spoken to town officials about
expanding the existing building and they responded they were turned
down. After following up with Old King's Highway, I learned that the
petitioners did in fact seek approval to expand the building and the
approval was granted. lncluded in your packet (see pages l through 3)
is the application and related approval for a 28- foot by 35-foot addition.
Cleary, they have gotten the approval to proceed with expanding the
current structure and this is a viable alternative.
I would now like to address the petitioner's request to add a barn
to the vacant lot. We are not opposed to adding a barn but there is no
reason the structure needs to expand beyond the current zoning
requirements. The requests to expand beyond the current setbacks is
significant, creating a building too large for the space.
Further, the notion that the main floor will be used for a kitchen so
close to a residential area is highly concerning. While the petitioners
have said they have plans to use the kitchen for only baking and
preparing soups, there is nothing to stop them or a subsequent owner
from using the kitchen for any purpose. We strongly encourage the
board to limit the barn for only residential or storage use. This is not
without precedent. Just down the street, the Lighthouse Keeper's Pantry
which occupies the former Happy Fish Bakery also has a barn behind the
store. A prior owner of the barn sought the Board's approval to replace
a deteriorating structure with a new barn. The Board of Appeals, in
making its decision about that barn, factored in the issues raised by
abutters and allowed a barn to be constructed based on various
conditions. Please see pages 4 and 5 for a copy of the Board's decision.
The salient parameters in their decision were as follows:
1. The new building could only be used for storage.
2. Additional planting and a fence needed to be constructed to
provide a visual screen from the adjoining residential lot.
3. No habitable space was allowed in the building.
4. The business hours of operations had to end by 5:00 PM.
There is another similar property just down the street from the
petitioner. The property at 169 Main Street consists of a store front
building near the road with a barn or carriage house behind it. ln a
similar request, the owner of the property sought to allow the barn to be
usedfora law office. The Boa rd of Appea ls granted a pprova I butplaced
strict restrictions on the building. Please see page 6 and 7. The building
could only house one full-time attorney and one other full-time
employee (plus otherwise allowable customers and invitees).
Clearly, the Board of Appeals considered the impact that additional
retail traffic would negatively impact surrounding residents. We
encourage the Board of Appeals to follow in a similar manner. There is
no reason the petitioner cannot use the second floor of the existing
building or the expansion of that building for a kitchen.
Lastly, we firmly believe the approval of the proposed size of the
barn and its use for a kitchen will negatively impact our property value.
That is not just our belief but also that of local realtors. I have enclosed
letters from three local realtors (please see pages 8 through 10) who
have viewed our property and the petitioners' plan and all have
concluded such plan would negatively impact the value of our home.
ln summary,
1. They have the approval to proceed with expanding the current
building to meet their needs.
2. The use of a barn for a kitchen is problematic and should be
restricted.
3. The proposal has negative consdquences for the abutting home
va lue.
Sincerely,
J udith Link Mark Link
