Narrative in Support of Application for a Special Permit
Applicant/Owner: Boris Kruk, Trustee Krukhomes Realty Trust
Premises: 2 Scrimshaw Lane, West Yarmouth, MA
The Applicant own the Property captioned above which is improved with a one-story
single-family dwelling, deck, attached pergola and shed. The Applicants have requested a
special permit to raze the existing dwelling and improvements and replace it with a FEMA
conforming dwelling on a slightly altered footprint, with a deck and pergola which are slightly
less nonconforming.
The Property is a corner lot and undersized (11,761 sf where 25,000 sf is required) and is
located in the R-25 zoning district. The dwelling is within the AE-11 and the existing dwelling
is +/- 11.8’ in elevation. The existing dwelling is conforming as to lot coverage (12.5% where
25% allowed), two front setbacks (35.5 ‘and 32.2’ where 30’ required), and rear setback (44.8’
where 20’ required). The existing deck and pergola are nonconforming as to side setback (5.4’
existing where 15’ required). Building height is conforming (16.25’).
As proposed, the dwelling will be a two-story structure which will conform to height
(27.25’ where 35’ allowed) and building coverage (15.7% where 25% allowed). The proposed
footprint of the dwelling and decking will create no new nonconformities and will be less
nonconforming as to the existing left side setback (5.4’ existing, 5.8’ proposed, 15’ required).
The Applicant is seeking a special permit under section 104.3.2.(2) of rhe Yarmouth
Zoning By-Law and will show that the project as proposed is not substantially more detrimental
to the neighborhood than the existing structure.
