Paul J. Spuria and Anna G. Spuria, Trustees of the Paul
and Anna Spuria Family Trust
PROPERTY: 3 Windemere Road, West Yarmouth, MA

Notice of the hearing has been 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 held on the date stated above.
The Applicant seeks a Special Permit per §104.3.2(2) as allowed, to raze and replace a one-story
dwelling with a two -story -dwelling, increasing the height in both side setbacks.
The Property is located in the R25 Zoning District and is improved with a one-story single-
family structure having 3 bedrooms, and constructed in approximately 1950, which lot contains
5,000 square feet. The lot is shown on a plan dated 1925 (Plan Book 14, Page 67), and pre -dates
zoning regulations in the Town of Yarmouth, and abuts Mill Creek and Lewis Bay. An amended
plan was filed in 1930 (Plan Book 47, Page 113), and shows a structure on the lot at that time.
This lot has 50 feet of frontage on Windemere Road and is 100 feet deep. The existing house
complies with the front yard setback and the rear setback, but encroaches into the westerly side
setback by approximately 4 feet and easterly side setback by approximately 5 feet. The lot is in
flood elevation 11 and the Velocity Zone elevation 13. The existing building coverage is 229%.
The proposal is to remove the existing home and replace it with a modular home, consisting of 3
bedrooms on 2 stories. The new structure will comply with all flood zone requirements, and will
continue to comply with the front yard and rear yard setbacks. The house will also improve the
westerly setback encroachment by 1 foot, and the easterly encroachment by 4 inches. The lot
coverage will increase to 24.98 %, a total of 101 square feet. A new Title 5 septic system will be
installed to serve the property. The project has already been presented to th
ARLJroPY ATTEST.

Conservation Commission, which issued an Order of Conditions on July 14, 2022, and which is
recorded in the Barnstable County Registry of Deeds. Mitigation plantings are required on the
beach side of the property, where none exist now. The driveway will consist of pervious
materials, and gutters and downspouts will be directed to dryweils on site.
The reason for the Special Permit request is that the petitioner proposes to add a second floor
which will encroach into both side setbacks. The new living space above will be further from
both side boundaries than is the existing structure. The house was designed to have 3 windows
on the second floor facing the abutting property to the west. The abutting property to the east is a
large grassy area housing the septic system for the condominium located there, and the nearest
structure to the proposed dwelling will be approximately 60 feet away, and will not create any
privacy issues with the abutting neighbor. Both abutting structures are 2 stories in height
currently.
There were no abutters who appeared in opposition to the request. The Board discussed the
request for a Special Permit, and agreed that any proposed extension of the structure on this lot,
if not encroaching any further into setbacks than the existing structure, would not be
substantially more detrimental to the neighborhood than is the existing non -conforming structure.
In addition, the Board found that no undue nuisance, hazard or congestion will be created and
that there will be no substantial harm to the established or future character of the neighborhood
or town.
A Motion was made by Mr. Martin, seconded by Mr. Fraprie, to grant the Special Permit as
requested, without conditions. The members voted unanimously, by roll call vote, as follows:
