Notice of the hearing has been given by sending notice thereof to the Petitioner and all those
owners of property as required by law, and to the public by posting notice of the hearing and
publishing in The Cape Cod Times, the hearing opened and held on the date stated above.
The petitioner is Neill and Jamie Bohiin seeking relief with respect to property located at 358
Route 6A, Yarmouth Port, Massachusetts, which property is located in a R-40 zoning district.
The petitioner received a violation notice, dated February 8, 2024, from the Deputy Building
Commissioner, about the property being used as an office rental business in a residential district
without the required relief from the Zoning Board of Appeals. Subsequently, the petitioner
sought a Special Permit for 1-4 use to allow office space rental in a residential district or to
modify an existing Variance to change use from gift shop to office space rental.
At the March 28, 2024 hearing, the Board had concerns about parking, overuse of a site in a
residential zone, and a property with a history of violating the Board's decisions. The Board
requested more information about how the office space rental business would be operated. The
hearing was continued to April 25, 2024.
At the April 25, 2024 hearing, the petitioner testified that:
• The relief requested is for the two offices and the meeting space. The two offices would
house the only two businesses that call this location their main office or headquarters.
The petitioner is one of the two businesses.
Any others using the office space would be pre -scheduled, managed& a calendar, and
under an agreement with the petitioner. No walk-ins are all pnffice space.

Neill H. Bohlin and Jamie G. Bohlin
Affecting the rights of the owner with respect to land or buildings at: 358 Route 6A, Yarmouth Port, MA;

• There is adequate parking for the proposed office space rental use. On average, there are
2-7 cars per day at the site.
• The property and the office space is owner -occupied in order to manage and control who
is using the office space.
• The petitioner has been running the office space rental business for six years and relies on
this income to help pay the mortgage.
Several abutters sent letters or spoke in support of the petition.
The Board agreed that the office space rental use has a lower impact than the original Variance
granted for a gift shop back in 1963 (Decision #626).
Vice Chair Igoe informed the petitioner that if a new Variance for office space rental use in a
residential district is granted, the new Variance would replace the old Variance for a gift shop.
The old Variance for retail would no longer exist.
A motion was made by Mr. Fraprie and seconded by Mr. Mantoni to approve a Variance for
office space rental use with the two offices, one meeting room and the open meeting area
between the two offices to be used by the tenants renting the office space. On a voice vote (5-0),
the motion with the stated conditions was approved.
A motion was made by Mr. Fraprie and seconded by Mr. Mantoni to withdraw the request for a
Special Permit, without prejudice. On a voice vote (5-0), the motion was approved.
No permit shall issue until 20 days from the filing of this decision with the Town Clerk. Appeals
from this decision shall be made pursuant to MGL c40A section 17 and must be filed within 20
days after filing of this notice/decision with the Town Clerk. Unless otherwise provided herein,
the Variance shall lapse if a substantial use thereof has not begun within 12 months. (See MGL
c40A § 10)
