E
Aldo A. Petrillo and Ruth M. Petrillo
The following appeared in opposition:
Allen Grace, abutter, and letter from Town of Yarmouth Planning
Board.
REASIN FOR DECISION:
The petitioner appeared and stated that due to the increase
in taxes, he could not afford to maintain the property in its
present use, which is a vacant lot, and that the few dollars gener-
ated by an antique sale on Saturday by various dealers, which
dealers would not amber more than fifteen on any given day,
would help to alleviate his present financial position. He
stated that there is ample parking for approximately thirty cars,
in addition to those selling wares, that the frontage of the pro-
perty is 105 feet, and that the only building on the property is
set way back on the lot, which is275 feet deep. The petitioner
indicated that if necessary, he would hire a policeman for the
control of traffic, though he had not hdd any conference with the
Police Department reference this prior to the hearing. Petitioner
also stated that the hours of operation would be 10-4:30 on Satur-
days during the summer, and he would like to have the availability
of Sunday once the fall season has arrived or the summer season IOWV
has passed. Petitioner stated that the dealers who would be sell-
ing their wares would be solicited by Mrs. Rasher, operator of the
Barn Shop, Route 6A, Cummaquid.
The Board notes that the area in which the operation would be
maintained is extremely congested, andttbftet the injection of this
type of operation would create additional hazards in the already
congested traffic problem that it has. The Board finds that it
would not be in the best interests of the neighborhood or the
Town of Yarmouth on the whole to grant a permit or approval for
the type of operation which the petitioner seeks.
Therefore, petitioners' request for approval is denied.

Members present: Thomas George, Philip Dempsey, Robert Sherman, David Oman,
Herbert Renkainen.
The Acting Chairman called the meeting to order and read the petition. All
abutters were notified by Certificate of mailing and the necessary correspondent
was made in the Cape Cod Standard Times and the Dennis —Yarmouth Register.
Mr. Petrillo: We have a shop on the property that is an antique and crafts
shop, to begin with. As I understand Appleby's property up the street was
!]]owed to do just what we want to do. I thought this was something that was
never done on the property so I am here before you. The revenues on the
property don't help as of now to pay for the increase of taxes so this would
be an added income to help the taxes. We have the space to go with it. About
1 acre of land. Mrs. Rackenbush of Cummaquid is an antique dealer and she knows
a few people interested in coming here. It wouldn't be a carnival type thing, i
will be a real antique layout.
Mrs. Petrillo: It would be from 10:00 a.m, to 4:00 p.m. Nothing after that.
Mr. George: What days of the week?
Mr. Petrillo: It would be on a Saturday, one day a week would be enough.
Mrs. Petrillo: Maybe in the fall it would be nice to have 2 days.
Mr. Oman: You said about 1 acre of land there.
Mr. Petrillo: Actually, about an acre and 1/3.
Mr. Oman: The property on Route 28, lot N-4, according to the Assessors map
shows this is only .61 of an acre.
Mr. Petrillo: I have the property next to it.
Mr. Oman: If you want to include that piece, then the advertisement is wrong.
Mr. George: Now you have a faulty advertisement.
Mr. Petrillo: Then let's go beck to the .61 acres then. The abutters and/or
abutters to abutters are still okay because we covered them all.
Mr. George: Don't you use that property across the street for parking for the
restaurant? How much frontage is there?
Mr. Petrillo: We don't use it until 4:30 P.M. for the restaurant. 105' frontage
Mr. George: The building on lot 28—N4 is there?

Or is the one we're talking about vacant?
Mr. Petrillo: We are talking about the parking lot.
Mr. Renkainen: Will this be a tailboard operation?
Mr. Petrillo: No. It will be a good antique shop. This lady is a very
conscientious woman and has been doing this for quite a few years. She wants
only someone who has good quality merchandise. About 15 or 10 dealers,
(reputable) with merchandise that is of value. It will be in the open.Most
of the people will have a car and will set out tables.
Mr. Dempsey: Where will you park?
Mr. Petrillo: I will still have the rest of the property. Plenty of room.
They can come in one side and go out the other. No backing out onto Route 28.
There is an island in the middle.
Mr. Oman: What about the traffic control?
Mr. Petrillo: If it gets to that problem we will hire a policeman. We have
one for the restaurant anyway. No question about the fact that if there is any
problem on Route 28 with traffic, it existed before my place.
Mr. Dempsey: Will the parking be on your land or some other piece of land
you own?
Mr. Petrillo: It will be on Lot N-4. The other piece of land doesn't have thai
much room because of the building. The cars on the other lot will be for the
gift shop and crafts shop. It doesn't interfere with the other cars on that
piece at all.
Me; Renkainen: This market will be in the parking area you have now?
Mr. Petrillo: I don't like the word flea market. I would rather say antique
display and crafts. We don,'t want it on Sunday.
Mrs. Petrillo: In the fall we may want 2 days. Don't limit it to one day.
Mr. Petrillo: Mrs. Rackenbush will help us getting the people in. She doesn't
want any money out of it.
Mr. Renkainen: How many cars can you have there now?
Mr. Petrillo: Without the market, 45 to 50.
Mr. George: Shere is a letter in the file from the Planning Board, opposed.
Mr. Grace: I am an abutter and have been here for about 3 years. I have never
been ab,le-to open my windows because of the dust from that parking lot. If the
place was hardtopped and someone to police it it wouldn't be so bad. The proper
has been a pig sty. It has been better within the last few weeks. If there was
stone or blacktop I would not object.
Mrs. Petrillo: Why is the one up in Appleby's with baloons, and everything
allowed to carry on?

Mr. Spurr: The people rented that whole building. The house, a garage in the
back. According to Town Consel he meets the by-law. The merchandise is in
the house. The luny -law says if the merchandise is in the house you can carry o
If you run the things in the buildings you don't have to go to the Board of
Appeals. We told him to get all the things in - we know they are outside now.
Hearing closed.
