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

The Cape Cod Times, the hearing opened and held on the date as stated above.
The Property, which is located in the R-25 Zoning District, is located at the end of Grist Mill Lane

requirements.The Property is pre-existing nonconforming as to lot size and tontage.
Andrew L.Singer,Esquire,appeared on behalf of the Petitioner in support of the Petition.There
were no public comments in favor or against the petition.The Petitioner previously secured
Conservation Commission and Board of Health approval,and Memoranda from the Commission and
Board of Health were submitted.
The Petitioner seeks to raze the existing dwelling and replace it with a flood-compliant, less
nonconforming dwelling that will have a partial second floor. There will be no change in the number
of bedrooms on the Property.
Under the Yarmouth Zoning By-Law, Section 104.3.2,the Board of Appeals may approve a special
permit to allow a pre-existing nonconforming, single-family dwelling to be razed and replaced if it
finds that the proposal will not be substantially more detrimental or more nonconforming to the
neighborhood,Zoning District or Town than the existing conditions,and that the proposal will not
cause,create or contribute to any undue nuisance,hazard or congestion,and that there will be no
subst9nt,ial harm to the established or future character of the neighborhood or Town.

Bk 35209 Pg260 #32449
After hearing the Petitioner's presentation,a discussion, including questions,consideration,and
deliberations, took place concerning the proposed project,the setbacks of the patio and deck,the
proposed height,the adjacent wetlands and flood plain requirements,and potential effects on the
neighborhood.The replacement dwelling will be elevated above base flood elevation, and the
replacement dwelling and driveway will be relocated further away froth the adjacent wetlands.The
pre-existing nonconforming rear setback will be eliminated,and the pre-existing nonconforming
right-side setback will be made less nonconforming.
Based on the above,the Board found that the proposal fits into the neighborhood and will result in an
environmental benefit to the Property and area.The Board further found that the proposal will not be
substantially more detrimental or more nonconforming to the neighborhood,Zoning District or Town
than the existing conditions,that it will not cause or contribute to any undue nuisance,hazard or
congestion, that there will be no substantial harm to the established or future character of the
neighborhood or Town,and that the strict enforcement of the current Zoning By-Law will result in
undue hardship to the Property or the Petitioners.
Thereafter,a motion was made by Mr.Martin and seconded by Mr.Fraprie, and voted by roll call
vote 5-0 in favor,to grant the relief requested,subject to the Conservation Commission conditions, in
accordance with the submitted site plan prepared by Ryder& Wilcox, Inc.,dated January 5,2022,
and last revised April 19,2022, and the elevations and floor plans prepared by McPhee Associates of
Cape Cod, dated March 4,2022.
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)
