Notice of the hearing was given by sending notice thereof to the Petitioner and all those owners
of property as required by law, and to the public by posting notice of the hearing and publishing
in The Cape Cod Times. The hearing opened and was held on the date stated above.
The petitioner seeks either a Special Permit and/or a Variance to increase the height of pre-existing,
non -conforming structure by 12 inches.
At the hearing, the petitioner's representative, George Davis did a fine job presenting the petition..
Serving as the general contractor, Mr. Davis described the age of the property as "old". The
property at 286 Old Main Street was built in 1800.
The petitioner seeks relief to lift the single -story structure off the ground to install a foundation.
The increase in height would be no more than 12 inches.
The Board agreed that the petition meets the criteria for a Special Permit. The Board noted that
the project represents significant historic preservation — both in saving the structure and
improving the appearance of the structure.
