On a motion by the Board Chair, the Board scheduled a hearing to review and reconsider the

in support of the motion to amend the condition to the original decision. The decision is connection
with the Property located at 1067 Route 28, South Yarmouth which is in the B-2 Zoning District.
The original decision granted a Special Permit to Petitioner to extend entertainment uses to a newlyexpandedportionofthebuildinginwhichPetitioner's business operates. The Board noted as a
condition that Petitioner plant four trees on each of the parking islands and that two additional treesbeplantedonthebufferalongRoute28. After the decision was finalized, it was determined that
planting the specified number of trees might not be practical given that mature trees existed in the
areas to be planted and would be disrupted by the additional plantings and the placement ofadditionaltreesonthesoutherlyparkingislandmightintrudeintotheproperty's septic field.
A hearing was held to determine whether the conditions could be amended to preserve the intent oftheBoardthatanadequatenumberofadditionaltreesbeplantedintheparkingislandsandRoute28buffer. No one spoke in opposition to the Petition.No new exhibits were received at the hearing.
A discussion, including questions and consideration,took place concerning the post-decision
plantings by Petitioner,the current number of trees in the parking lot islands and Route 28 buffer,
and the potential effects of additional plantings near the leaching field.
The Board noted that together with the mature trees and trees planted post decision, four trees existed
on each parking island. In addition,two trees were planted on the Route 28 buffer. The Board further
considered that the trees planted on the parking lot island and buffer after the January 2022 decision,
together with the existing, mature trees,met the intent of the prior decision's landscaping condition
to augment the landscaping on site.
After discussion of the merits of the Petition, a Motion was made by Mr. Fraprie and seconded by
Mr.Neitz to amend the condition of the Special Permit so that the plantings in the two islands and
Route 28 buffer as existing at the time of the hearing, met the intent of the original condition and
amended the original condition require a total of four trees in each of the parking islands (to include
both newly planted post decision and existing mature trees) and two additional trees(as planted post
January 2022 decision) on the Route 28 buffer. The Board further found that the post January 2022
decision plantings by Petitioner met the amended condition's requirements.
A vote was taken on the motion to amend the condition of the Special Permit and was passed by
unanimous (4-0) vote.
