Camino de Oro Tucson, AZ 85718 Re: 45 Frances Helen Road, Yarmouth Port, MA 02675 Dear Homeowner, Welcome to historic and scenic Yarmouth Port! Since the above-listed property is north of Route 6 (the Mid-Cape Highway), it is within the Old King’s Highway (OKH) Regional Historic District. This district was established under Massachusetts General Laws, Chapter 470 of the Acts of 1973, as amended. It is the largest historic district in America and encompasses the area between Route 6 (Mid-Cape Highway) and Cape Cod Bay, extending from Sandwich to Orleans. Each town has their own OKH Historic District Committee whose purpose is to maintain their District’s aesthetic and cultural heritage by protecting and preserving its buildings and settings in keeping with the early days of Cape Cod. The boundaries of Yarmouth’s local OKH District are from Route 6 (Mid-Cape Highway) north to Cape Cod Bay between the Barnstable and Dennis town lines. Please note that all exterior changes and/or additions to settings and structures require a design review and approval by the local Old King’s Highway Committee prior to work being started. Enclosed is a reference card which includes a list of items that require OKH approval. Please keep this card for future reference. For questions or information on the application process, please contact or visit our OKH Office Administrator at the Yarmouth Town Hall, lower level. Our OKH office phone number is: (508) 398- 2231 x1292 and our email address is okh@yarmouth.ma.us. Information such as the Old King’s Highway Regional Historic District Bulletin, the Yarmouth OKH Committee hearing schedule, and applications can be found on the Town of Yarmouth website at www.yarmouth.ma.us. Thank you, and once again – WELCOME! Sincerely, Robert Wilkins Robert Wilkins, Chair Yarmouth OKH Historic District Committee
