214 Pleasant Street — Demolition Delay Outcome
In 2010, Thomas and Deborah Coleman met with the Commission regarding their plans
to demolish an existing house and cottage and to replace them with new construction. A
site visit convinced the Commissioners that much of the house was not significant to
Yarmouth's architectural, cultural, or historic heritage, but the original portion of the
existing house (c. 1670 according to town records) was. Thereafter, the discussions
with the Colemans and their agents centered on the reuse or preservation of those
elements. Finally, in June, 2010, the Colemans were released from the remaining demo
delay period as long as they reused the elements listed in their May 2, 2010, letter to the
Commission. All other portions of the house and the entire cottage were not under
demo delay restrictions and could be removed at the homeowners' convenience.
If you have any questions concerning this matter, please contact me. I'll be glad to
answer any of your questions.
