HomeMy WebLinkAboutApplication - 118 PB Special Permit HMOD2 Red Jacket TC1 TOWN OF YARMOUTH PLANNING BOARD SPECIAL PERMIT APPLICATION Applicant: RJ Resorts Beach Resort Owner LLC. Owners: RJ Resorts Beach Resort Owner LLC Property: 28 South Shore Drive, South Yarmouth, MA Introduction This redevelopment project focuses on the exterior amenities of the Red Jacket Beach Resort. The Applicant seeks to redevelop the pool, pool deck, and adjacent lawn areas. The pool and pool deck will be replaced with a larger, reoriented pool to be used for lap swimming and recreation and an adjacent spa. An existing seasonally-used tent located on the lawn will be removed and replaced with a permanent, open-air pavilion and trellised area which will be located further inland than the existing tent and away from environmentally sensitive resource areas. The South Shore Drive entrance and hotel lobby/porte-couchere entrance landscaping will also be updated and enhanced. In response to comments from Site Plan Review and Design Review Committee, the Applicant has proposed two (2) crosswalks to enhance guest access to the pool and beach, has redesigned handicapped parking to be conforming in size, location and number of spaces, and has proposed planting trees in existing in-lot islands and augmenting existing shrub plantings on the north-west perimeter buffer as shown on the submitted plans. The Conservation Commission has reviewed the proposed project and has approved the project by unanimous vote. The Design Review Committee has also reviewed the proposed work and provided a statement of strong support as part of the Committee’s approved minutes. The Applicant seeks relief from Section 404.2.6 of the Yarmouth Zoning By-law for existing site conditions which do not comply with the Yarmouth Architectural and Site Design Standards. These conditions are not within the scope of the current redevelopment and, as such, will not be updated or redesigned as required by the HMOD2 zoning by-law. All proposed redevelopment of the site will conform to Architectural and Site Design Standards.
