Hi Lisa,
Thank you for forwarding the information about 9 Wellfleet Avenue in Yarmouth. I think there are two ways
you could proceed from here, depending on the town's preference:
1. If the town is prepared to formally refer the project to the Cape Cod Commission (CCC), using the
Development of Regional Impact (DRI) referral form on the CCC website, the CCC would wait for the
referral and then notify the applicant of the timeframe for filing a DRI application and beginning the
public hearing process.
2. Alternatively, CCC staff could meet with the applicant and town staff, preferably on -site, to hear the
proposal and explain the CCC's regulatory process and Cultural Heritage standards. Based on CCC
standards, the applicant may decide to reconsider some aspects of their proposal to be more
consistent with CCC standards. In particular, it may be helpful for the applicant to hear that demolition
of a property on the National Register of Historic Places is unlikely to be approved by the CCC.
I have copied Jordan Velozo, our Chief Regulatory Officer, in case the town has any questions about making
the DRI referral. If you would prefer to schedule a meeting on -site with the applicant, please let me know and
we can identify a Monday, Tuesday, or Thursday that I can attend.
Sincerely,
Sarah

Hi Sarah,
Hope you are doing well!
The Yarmouth Historical Commission has received a demolition request for a house located in
the Yarmouth Campground, which is an historic district. The request is for a complete
demolition due to the condition of the house (built in 1875). The Yarmouth Historical
Commission met on May 11 and referred the request to the Cape Cod Commission for review
since this is a total demolition and rebuild of the house.
have attached the information provided by the architect and contractor, and a letter from
the Campground Association.
The owner, contractor, and architect are happy to provide a site visit and walkthrough of the
house at your convenience.
Please take a look at the attached and let me !snow your thoughts and how we need to
proceed.
As always, thank you for your assistance and expertise!
Best regards,
Lisa
