HISTORICAL COMMITTEE
MEMORANDUM
TO:
Mark Grylls, Building Commissioner
FROM:
Lisa Sherman, Office Administrator of the Historical Commission
DATE:
May 12, 2022
SUBJECT:
185 Seaview Ave —Demolition Request
At their May 12, 2022 meeting, the Yarmouth Historical Commission considered the above referenced
property in response to a request to demolish. The intended purpose of the total demolition is to enable
construction of a new home.
A demolition permit application was filed with the Building Department on May 5, 2022 by John Smith
of Pro -Mod Homes. This application along with a Notice of Intent to Demolish was considered by the
Yarmouth Historical Commission at their meeting on May 12, 2022. While noting that the house was
over 75 years old and has some historic value as it relates to post World War II cottage construction, the
fact that the plans proposed to replace the structure are designed so it will have a similar front elevation as
far as the width of the structure is concerned, the Commission did not choose to impose the demolition
delay. Accordingly, the applicant can proceed with demolition.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
Thank you.
