PETITION: #4903
HEARING DATE: July 22, 2021
PETITIONER: Linda L. Preston
PROPERTY: 16 Sunset Pines, South Yarmouth
Map & lot#: 69.21; Zoning District: R-40
Book/Page: 23251/196
MEMBERS PRESENT AND VOTING: Steven DeYoung, Chairman; Sean Igoe, Dick

It appearing that notice of the hearing has been given by sending notice to the petitioners and all
of those owners of property deemed to be affected thereby, and to the public by posting notice of
the hearing and published in The Register, the hearing was opened and held on the date stated
above.
The petitioner is Linda Preston who appeared and did a fine job in presenting her
request for relief by either a Special Permit or Variance in connection with property located at 16
Sunset Pines Road, South Yarmouth, MA property located in an R-40 Zoning District. The
original relief she sought was only that of a Variance. After discussion, the Board felt that the
relief sought should be that of a Special Permit. Accordingly, in order to allow the petitioner's
request to be properly noticed, the initial hearing of July 8, 2021 was continued to July 22, 2021.
Simply stated, the petitioner seeks to put a freestanding garage within 10 feet of the southeasterly
sideline of the property. The garage is of modest size and attractive in style. The immediately
impacted neighbor, Robert Grimes of 105 Station Ave., South Yarmouth, MA wrote a letter in
support of the petition which was received and marked as Exhibit 1. No other exhibits were
received at the hearing and no persons appeared in support or opposition to the petition when
invited by the Chair.
Mr. Igoe expressed his belief that the relief sought should be by way of Variance, not
by way of Special Permit. Though he made a compelling argument, the remaining rr b1r o'f..
the Board concurred in believing that the grant of a Special Permit was appropriat&_in the
circumstance. Accordingly, the matter was considered on whether or not the grant of a Special

Permit would cause any undue hazard or congestion, become a nuisance, or would it change tree
character of the neighborhood or town both now and/or in the future. The Board concurred that
the relief sought could be allowed under the criteria of the grant of Special Permit.
A motion was made by Mr. Martin and seconded by Mr. Baron to grant a Special
Permit to the petitioner and without conditions. The matter proceeded by voice vote and was
approved on a unanimous basis.
Respectfully Submitted
Steven S. DeYoung, Chairman
