RE: 176 Old Main Street-Demolition Request
Dear Mr.Weagle,
This notice is being directed to you as the owner of the above referenced address.
Please be advised that on Thursday September 14, 2023, at their regularly scheduled
meeting, the Yarmouth Historic Commission met in quorum and voted unanimously that
the structure being proposed for demolition at 176 Old Main Street is a significant
structure as defined in the Yarmouth Town By-Law,Chapter 92:Historic Properties.
This decision was based on documentation and materials presented to and gathered by
the Commission along with their observations during a site visit.
Despite its deteriorating condition,the Commission feels that the barn/garage is significant
to the Town of Yarmouth where it has resided since the mid-1800s.
As a result of this "significant" determination, the Commission has 30 days in which to
hold a public hearing to determine whether or not demolition of this structure will be
detrimental to the historical, cultural, or architectural heritage of Yarmouth. After the
public hearing,the Commission will have 10 days in which to notify you whether or not the
demolition of the existing structure would be detrimental to the history, architecture, or
culture of Yarmouth. If it is found to be detrimental, the 180-day demolition delay period
will begin on the date the determination is made.
Please be informed that this item has been placed on the agenda at said public hearing,
which is scheduled to be held on Thursday,October 12, 2023 at 10:00 am in the Hearing
Room at the Yarmouth Town Hall. Town ordinance requires that notice of this hearing be
published in a local newspaper at least fourteen days prior and again within seven days of
the hearing date.Therefore,notice will be published in The Cape Cod Times on Thursday,
September 28 and Thursday,October 5.
Should you have any questions regarding this letter or the demolition delay process,
please contact our Office Administrator, Lisa Sherman at 508-398-2231 x1292 or via
email at Isherman(a�yarmouth.ma.us.
