CALL TO ORDER:
Chairman Mockabee opened the meeting at 3:00 pm and stated that the YHC Committee did not have
a quorum, as there were not enough members present. The Commission decided to meet with the
members and guests, but could not transact business without a quorum. No votes nor official

GUESTS PRESENT:
Karen M. Greene, Director of Community Development
Jean Bowden, Capizzi Home, Improvement.
Martin Reilly, agent for David Chleck
NEW BUSINESS: Informal Discussions Re: Proposed Demolitions
Jane Dios, owner, Jean Bowden, Capizzi Home Improvement, Agent, at 1361 Bridge Street,
South Yarmouth.
Ms. Bowden explained that she was acting on behalf of the home owner, Ms.Jane Dios, who is
proposing to demolish the property with plans to rebuild. And mentioned that the property was
previously the Bass River Boat Shop.
Ms. Norris wanted to know if the property is empty. Ms. Bowden stated that the building has been
unoccupied since 2012. Chairman Mockabee, wanted know if they intend to rebuild similar to what is
presently existing. Ms Bowden explained that it is the owner's intention to rebuild the same as to what
is existing and to open a jewelry retail store. The commercial property was built (according to tax
records) in 1830. It is an ancient wood framed structure which is not structurally sound enough to
remodel. Ms. Bowden presented a packet with photos of what is existing and also plans to rebuild.
After some discussion on the history and condition of the property, Ms. Greene stated that there would
have to be more research on this property to determine if there is any historical significance. Ms
Greene went on to explain the process before a property can be approved for a demolition.
Ms Mockabee mentioned that as part of the process, the Historical Committee members may want to
do an Informal Site Visit. Ms Bowden agreed and stated that she would inform the owner.
Ms. Greene and Chairman Mockabee both stressed that the process would have to begin with the
owner applying for a Demolition Application from the Building Department.
After more discussion, Chairman Mockabee thanked Ms. Bowden for coming before the Yarmouth
Historical Committee.
David Chleck, owner, Martin Reilly, agent at 29 Scallop Road, Great Island, W. Yarmouth
Mr_ Reilly stated that he is representing the owner, Mr. Chieck, who is in the process of selling the
property. Because the condition of the property is in such disrepair they are proposing to have it
demolished and replaced with a new structure. Mr. Reilly stated that the Building Department has
declared it structurally unsound. It is abandoned and decaying, has wild animals, and is a fire hazard.
The structure was built in 1921 and has been vacant since about 2006.
Ms. Greene mentioned a Site Visit may not be possible and if needed there could be an Emergency
Demolition. Ms. Greene explained the State Codes and the process that would have to take place
before a demolition could be allowed. Also there would have to be more research on the property.
There was much discussion on the history of the property and the sad condition the property is
currently in. Mr. Reilly stated that there was nothing of historic value that could be reclaimed.
Chairman Mockabee explained that the process would have to begin with the owner applying for a
Demolition Application from the Building Department. Chairman Mockabee thanked Mr. Reilly for
coming before the Yarmouth Historical Committee.
