FILED WITH TOWN CLERK: October 1.6,2024
PETITION NO: 5137
HEARING DATE: October 10,2024
PETITIONER: Felix Torres and Teodora I.Dimitrova-Torres
PROPERTY: 9 Woodbine Avenue,West Yarmouth, MA
Map 37,Parcel 92 and 93
Zoning District: R-25 •
Title: Book 29437;Page 150
MEMBERS PRESENT AND VOTING: Acting Chairman Jay Fraprie,Dick Martin,Barbara
Murphy and Anthony Panebianco
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 seeks a Special Permit pursuant to Zoning Bylaw §104.3.2(2), or in the alternative, a
Variance pursuant to §203.5,to allow rear setback relief to allow an as-built bulkhead to be 17.2 feet
from the rear property line. •
P
The Property is located in the R-25.Zoning District and is comprised of 9,000 square feet and
100 feet of frontage on Woodbine Avenue..It is actually 2 separate lots,denoted as Lot 98 and 99
on a plan recorded in the Barnstable County Registry of Deeds in Plan Book 16, Page 75,dated
January of 1926. In 202.1, after making inquiry about the buildability of this lot, the applicant
appeared before this Board, seeking to overturn the decision of the Yarmouth Building
Commissioner, who had determined that the lot was not buildable. This Board agreed that such a
determination was erroneous, and found the lot to be buildable,but also granted a Special Permit
for the fact that the lot contained a pre-existing poured foundation,measuring 24 feet by 36 feet,
constructed in the early 1970s.A site plan was presented showing that the foundation was 13.5
feet from the side setback,where 15 feet is the minimum.
In 2023, and based on the final Decision of this Board, the petitioners made application with the
Yarmouth Building Department for a permit to allow for the construction of a new modular
home on the property. The old foundation would be removed and replaced with a new
foundation, and the project was to fully comply with all of the current bulk requirements of the

Bylaw. Plans from the modular company,Modular Building Systems of Pennsylvania,were
submitted with the application,and which failed to show the intention to construct an
approximate 6 foot by 3 foot bulkhead to the rear of the property. Once foundations were
poured, and the house constructed; an As-Built Plan was submitted to the Building Department
so that a Certificate of Compliance could be issued. However,it was at this time that it was
discovered that the bulkhead encroached into the rear setback by just under 3 feet,and is 17.2
feet away from that boundary.
The Board determined that the appropriate form of relief in this matter would be through the
issuance of a Special Permit. In addition, it was the consensus of the Board that the Special
Permit would not be substantially more detrimental to the neighborhood than is the existing non-
conforming structure, and found that no undue nuisance, hazard or congestion will be created
and that there will be no substantial hann.to the established or future character of the
neighborhood or Town. This bulkhead will certainly not be substantially more detrimental to the
neighborhood than the house without a bulkhead. First, this bulkhead will not be visible from
Woodbine Avenue, or from the abutting commercial property, as the Salvation Army store
maintains a 6-foot stockade fence between their property and the applicant's property.The
bulkhead will not extend higher from the ground than 3 feet. The abutters to the north are the
applicants,and the neighbor to the rear,who would be the most affected,has submitted
correspondence indicating her support for the relief sought this evening. The bulkhead will also
benefit the applicant as a second means of egress from the basement.
No abutters appeared either in favor or against the project.
Accordingly, a motion was made by Mr. Martin, seconded by Ms. Murphy, to grant the Special
Permit as requested. The members voted unanimously in favor of the motion.
The applicant moved and was allowed to withdraw the request for relief in the form of a
Variance, as it was the consensus of the Board that no such relief was needed. The members
voted unanimously in favor of the motion.
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 Special Permit shall lapse if a substantial use thereof has not begun within 24 months. (See
bylaw §103.2.5,MGL c40A §9)
