RE:Shoreside Properties LLC, 33-37 Seaside Village Road
As 3-season residents of 15 Southwest Drive, we totally oppose the Shoreside Properties
petition requesting a special permit to create 100%seasonal housing at 33-37 Seaside Village
Road in South Yarmouth.
We purchased 15 Southwest Drive in the early 1980's. In the 40 plus years we have owned the
property we have never used it as a rental property but instead have enjoyed summers with
our children and now our grandchildren. Over the years we have invested in improving the
property and have seen the same from our neighbors.
The Village Green Motel was a part of the neighborhood. It was always well run and clean. The
owners lived on the premises and we cannot remember any issues. Since the change in
ownership we have seen a general deterioration of the property. This includes increased litter
and cigarette butts on the street, traffic speeding down Seaside Village Road at all hours, and
loud music being played late in the evenings. As a neighbor within earshot of the property, the
increased traffic and noise make the neighborhood feel overall less safe and family friendly.
In closing, we do not agree with turning this motel into a 100%seasonal employee housing.The
neighborhood has seen ample improvements in recent years and this is a change that could
potentially have a serious impact on the safety and livability of the current community. This is
unfair to local residents who have invested many years and a great deal of money on home
improvements in the surrounding area.
Thank you for your consideration,
Christos and Eva Rogaris
