Setback Relief Request #2 for 2 Buttercap Ln–Yarmouth
Dear Yarmouth Zoning Board:
RE: PROPOSED REDEVELOPMENT OF RESIDENCE (Revised) AT:
#2 Buttercap Ln Coastal Bank status–Yarmouth (119-33)
Grandfathering the old setbacks from the original construction date
Dear Zoning Board members:
This is a project for construction of a new house and septic system an area within 50’ adjacent to a coastal bank
and 100’ inner riparian zone of a salt water river. The commission met on March 23 and concluded that the house need
to be moved to increase the westerly sideline setback, therefore:
1) The house is a replacement for an existing home and the previous rendition and is 1355 SF vs 1112 SF
(original);
2) A new septic system replaces the existing cesspool; and becomes it’s own mitigation;
3) Accompanying survey plan reflects changes to the placement and size of the house according to
Yarmouth ZBA desires, and rules and regulations. The new house remains outside the 35’ conservation
no-build zone (now; 35.6’; but, reduced from previous 35.7’); The house is also relocated away from the
westerly property line by an additional 3.1’ (13.6’ total) . This allows the house to remain outside the
current easterly setback, currently @ 20.6’. The house maintains the 19.5 frontal (non-conforming)
setback.
4) The area is consistent with development within the neighborhood The proximity to the wetland edge
(BVW) and Riverfront area are shown on the plan. The applicant has mitigated the redevelopment;.3
adjacent houses (on Follins Pond side of Buttercup Ln-#6, #10, #14) are larger in footprint area (1553-
1554-2451 SF according to Yarmouth data sheets & 55’-60’-55’ long respectively) than this house (#2
Buttercup Ln=52.83’) and are each, closer to the westerly property line, than 20’, 2 of the 3 houses are
closer than 10’ from sideline (see assessors plan).
5) As mentioned, an H-20 septic system has been designed to allow for 2 car parking over Septic system;
Neither septic system, nor driveway are shown as this would confuse the drawing and these items have
already been approved by Board of Health; the driveway does “hug” the right side (easterly) property
line and allows 2 car parking entirely on the lot, itself. Transition to the existing road is through 10’
radius(es) which intercepts the actual road sideline with the parking area sideline(s) to make access, to-
and-from, easy.
6) All efforts to conform to grandfathering this lot under the original setbacks have been shown;
We have delivered all plans by the March 31 deadline.
Respectfully,
Wayne Tavares LA PWS CS Wayne Tavares
