Americo Poliseno
December 23, 1976
Appeal No. 1406
Members present: Donald Henderson, Robert Sherman, Joseph Pandiscio,
Thomas George, Herbert Renkainen, Lee Marchildon.
The Chairman called the meeting to order and read the petition. All abutters
were notified by Certificate of Mailing and the necessary correspondence was
made in the Cape Cod Times and the Dennis=Yarmouth Register.
Mr. Poliseno: I have no pictures or prints made up as yet. We want to extend
the driveway, which shows on this plan, put a carport under and living quarter
on top. The same front but go across the driveway. That is where we want the
relief from the lot line.
Mr. Pandiscio: You say you will have the same front and still extend the drive
Mr. Poliseno: From the corner of the building to the lot line where the poles
are, I can go out 231 and still be within 301 from the street. It will make
it narrow living quarters.
Mr. Henderson: From the base of the poles to the street is out how far?
Mr. Poliseno: About 53'. The appearance will look the same.
Mr. Henderson: You want to go 331 then?
Mr. Poliseno: The same roof line and everything. We will put brick pillars.
We will brick the pattern in the front, too.
Mr. George: That has to do with the 23' setback. What are the other things?
Mr. Poliseno: The other is a motel unit. There is one there now. I have a
permit to go 2 stories. My variance then called for the rebuilding of the
Englewood Motel. Instead of double decking, we want to go behind it. 30 some
odd feet from the back of the building to the lot line. We have efficiency
apartments. We want to put an extra bedroom in, making them 2 bedroom
effieiencies instead of one bedroom. Same height. We will step it down a step
in back. The same length. All masonary. 161 from the lot line.
Mr. Henderson: That would be a front setback.
Mr. Poliseno: It is all stockade fence.
Mr. Henderson: It is a corner lot so you would have another 301.
Mr. George: Then down to 161 on one side, 231 on the main building.

Mr. Poliseno: The original called for 201, I put it 30' on the other unit. It
would make it a better unit by doing this. There are people behind us on Mass.
Ave. Cost wise, it is cheaper to go out back than to go up.
Mr. George: Adding any lavatories or just bedrooms?
Mr. Poliseno: Just bedrooms.
Mr. Goerge: Would these bedrooms have separate entrances?
Mr. Poliseno: A sliding door in the back of each unit and one in the front.
Mr. George: Would you abandon your permit for a double decker for this?
Mr. Poliseno: Just for that part. My permit still called for 74 units. We
have 36.
Mr. George: 38 additional units to be on that part?
Mr. Henderson: I have the plans from 1964. How many units did that show?
Mr. Poliseno: 11. That was the first section of the Milan. The sewage is
already in for all 74 units.
Mr. Henderson: 1964 decision — said to rebuild what was known as Englewood
Motel. Setbacks would be according to the plans. Where do the 74 units come
in? What did this decision allow you to do?
Mr. Poliseno: To do what was there when it burned down. I put the units in
around the pool about 3 years ago. I built the whole thing. I bought the land
after the fire. I bought it because I thought everything was approved for all
units. All I am asking for is relief from the lot line for living quarters.
We are now living in the motel office, and there are 3 of us. The other thing
is, we could double deck the units but we want to just add one bedroom in back.
That is a lot line relief, too. The whole area is fenced in.
Mr. Sherman: Did you build this thinking you could go double deck?
Mr. Poliseno: Yes. We have sewage for 39 units there in case we did add on.
All the other houses there are in line and I may be back further than some.
There are 16 units there now.
Mr. George: Where did you live before you lived in the office?
Mr. Poliseno: I commuted from Brockton. We have lived here for 12 years.
Mr. George: Did someone else come in with the request? Did they come in and
get the variance and you bought it as a package, built the first section, then
the second section with the 16 units, or did you get a permit from Board of
Appeals on that section?

Mr. Poliseno: No. I got the permit from the Building Inspector.
Mr. George: I think these considerations tie in with the decision.
Mr. Henderson: I wish you could come up with duplicate plans. It is hard
to see what they mean.
Mr. Poliseno: What if we caret find the plans?
Mr. Henderson: Shouldn8t the engineer have copies? We can't tell you what
you would do if we can't find the plans.
Mr. Poliseno: I bought the land in 1964, the plans are here in this building.
Mr. Henderson: Reading the notes of that meeting, they said 50 units all
together not 74. 11 in the main building.
Mr. George: We would be granting a variance from the setback requirements on
the building from 30' down to 15.7' and 13.71. It is a corner lot. Has he
petitioned and given adequate notice on it all?
Mr. Henderson: They didn't say about the 30' on the 16 units. According to
the ad, it says all setbacks will conform to the original appeal. The original
appeal was 301, so the ad was wrong.
Mr. Henderson: It is what the law on a variance is. If we give you a permit
for something and someone challanges us, we would get sued.
Mr. George: They may be correct if they challange and you would be knocked
into 1978.
Mr. Poliseno: I could double deck if anyone holds me up.
Mr. Pandiscio: I think for your protection it would be wise for you to with—
draw the petition and rewrite the petition. It would be the side line instead
of the rear line.
Mr. Henderson: We have a letter here from the Planning Board. They recommend
the appeal be taken under advisement. Also a letter in file from Donald
Phillips.
Motion by Mr. Pandiscio, Mr. George 2nded, all in favor, to dismiss without
prejudice.
Mrs. Poliseno: Can we just do the living quarters?
Mr. George: I don't think they can do one part and dismiss the second part.
It is either all or none.
Mr.Pandiscio: Since the plans cannot be found, is it possible to go back to
the original firm that did them?
Mr. Poliseno: I am doing that.
Hearing closed.
