Re: Riverwalk Park – Proposed Elevated Boardwalk Loop
Application to the Zoning Board of Appeals
Ms. Fallon,
On behalf of the Town of Yarmouth, BETA Group Inc. (BETA) is pleased to submit the attached application to permit the
proposed 1,300 linear foot elevated Boardwalk Loop, a central element of the proposed Riverwalk Park. This project is
located on an un-numbered lot, identified as Map 24, Lot 92, and is approximately 122 acres in size. This lot is owned by
the Town of Yarmouth, abutting the former Drive-in-Theater Site (#669, Rte. 28) which is also owned by the Town. The
purpose of this component of the larger Riverwalk Park project is to provide an educational, passive recreation
experience, affording park visitors immersion in the un-disturbed natural beauty of the Cape’s coastal estuaries, forest
lands and saltmarshes. Pedestrian walkways providing access to both ends of the proposed boardwalk loop and
vehicular parking has been designed as part of the Riverwalk Park. The overall goal of the Riverwalk Park is to promote
public re-use of the degraded Drive-in -Theater site for periodic special events, passive and active recreation and
establish a point of public interest and attraction to incentivize private sector re-investment within the Village Center
District.
The lot is zoned R25. This type of use/project is allowed within this zone, as Land use code N9, Municipal Recreation,
permissible thru a Special Permit. The project has been thru Site Plan review and has received an Order of Conditions
from the Conservation Commission.
