The Cape Cod Times, the hearing opened and held on the date stated above.
The petitioner is Bill Crean, Cape & Islands Golf Carts, LLC, who seeks a Special Permit per §202.5
to allow H-4 use at property located at 50 Long Pond Drive, South Yarmouth, Massachusetts. This
property is located in the B2 zoning district.
Mr. Crean intends to engage in the sale and/or lease of electric -powered bicycles and electric -
powered recreational motor vehicles (i.e., golf carts) at this location, which requires a Special Permit
within the B2 zoning district.
Representing the property owner. landlord at the hearing was Cecelia Carey, a real estate broker for
Carey Commercial Inc. Ms. Carey testified that the Unit C tenant would have exclusive use of two
designated areas: l) 20 feet in front of Unit C with 4 parking spaces; and 2) 50 feet to the easterly
side of Unit C with 4 parking spaces. However, the golf carts are not the same dimensions as the
parking spaces.
The business is a new venture for Mr. Crean. He has not yet signed a lease, but testified that he
signed a letter of intent to lease Unit C at 50 Long Pond Drive. Unit C has approximately 2,000
square feet of space, a concrete floor, and double doors wide enough to transfer the vehicles into and
out of the unit.

Mr. Crean did not know what his expected sales would be, but testified that he expected sales to be
brisk. He did not have a floor plan to show how many electric vehicles would be inside the building.
Mr. Crean plans to display some vehicles in front of Unit C and some vehicles within Unit C. The
vehicles would be charged from a standard wall outlet in the unit. There would not be an electric
vehicle charging station.
Mr. Martin noted that the building at 50 Long Pond Drive was constructed at a time when trees
would have been required. The Site Plan, dated February 18, 1986, shows a planting area, but the
property is missing trees in the front and missing in -lot trees in the parking lot.
The Board agreed that the landscape buffers should be upgraded. The Board also had concerns about
the lack of detailed information, such as a plan indicating the tenant's space in the building, the areas
exclusive to the tenant, the number and location of the vehicles on display, and the number and
location of vehicles stored outside overnight.
The Board discussed granting a Special Permit, including a condition that the petitioner provide more
information. Depending on the information received, the petitioner may need to return to the Board.
After further discussion and deliberation, the Board agreed to grant a Special Permit for H-4 use with
the following conditions:
1. The Special Permit will not issue until the Zoning Board of Appeals is satisfied with a Site
Plan that shows:
a. where trees are or will be planted (i.e., 3 trees along Long Pond Drive, 5 trees within
the parking lot as originally required)
b, where the petitioner's business is located in the building
c. the exclusive use area for this business, including the dedicated parking spaces
d. where the vehicles will be displayed during business hours
e. where the vehicles will be stored overnight
2. Hours of operation: 8am-9pm
3. During the hours of operation, no more than 6 vehicles will be displayed in front of the
petitioner's store (11nit C). All other vehicles parked outside of the building will be parked
behind the front corner of the building_
4. Outside the hours of operation, all vehicles parked outside the building will be parked behind
the front corner of the building.
A motion was made by Mr. Fraprie, which was seconded by Mr. Mantoni, to grant the Special Permit
with the stated conditions. On a voice vote (5-0), the motion was approved.
