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 per § 104.3.2(4) and:`or §202.5 for N-1 I Use and/or to amend prior relief in order to replace baseball batting and soccer cages with kiddie go-kart track, storage building, and bumper car track. This property is located in the B-2, HMOD-1 and Village Center 3 zoning districts and contains approximately 9.9 acres of upland area, and is improved with various structures, including batting cages, soccer cages, an arcade and a clubhouse. The property has several permitted recreation uses, including a golf driving range, miniature golf course, soccer and batting cages, a coin -operated arcade, a skate park, and a go-kart track, all of which are classified in the Yarmouth Zoning Bylaw Section 202.5 as a N 1 1 use, "Other miscellaneous amusement & recreation services." The petitioner now seeks to eliminate the batting cages and soccer cages at the property. Those areas are denoted on the plans, and are already paved and improved areas along the easterly side of the property. Instead, the applicant proposes to install a new kiddie go-kart track, to accommodate younger patrons, a new storage building to charge and store those karts, and a new electric bumper car track. The facilities for these new uses will not alter or change the physical dimensions of the currently improved areas, and will not change the setbacks presently depicted. TRUE COPY ATTEST ECMC 1 TOWN CLERK APR - 4 m; This is purely a change of one entertainment use to another entertainment use. Also, this Board previously permitted the applicant to install a go-kart facility on site in Decision #4162, dated January 3, 2008. As in that Decision, the go-karts will be electrically powered, eliminating concerns for noise and engine maintenance. There will be some additional lighting on site, but no change of hours are requested, and there is no need for additional parking. There is currently a pole with lights and the applicant proposes to add 2 more lights to it, to shine straight down on the track. There will also be additional lights from the new structure, which will again shine down on the track. The new go-kart barn will be 30 feet by 45 feet, and have 5 garage doors for easy storage of the karts. The barn will be 19.6 feet high, and will have power and heat, but no bathroom facilities. It will be located 104 feet from the easterly boundary, and the track itself will be in the area currently housing the baseball cages. The existing fence surrounding the cages will remain. The pitching machines and the soccer machines will be removed from an area closer to the side boundary. The bumper car track will be on the current location of the soccer cages. It will be located 40 feet from the side boundary, and surrounded by chain link fencing. No abutters spoke either in opposition or support of this project. The Board found that the petitioner has demonstrated the requirements of Zoning Bylaw Section 104.3.2(4), as the proposal would not be substantially more detrimental nor cause undue nuisance, hazard or congestion and that there will be no substantial harm to the established or future character of the neighborhood or town. Accordingly, a motion was made by Mr. Fraprie, seconded by Mr. Neitz, to grant the Special Pen -nit as requested, with the condition that any additional lighting to be directed in such a way so as to remain on site. The members voted as follows: Mr. Igoe AYE Mr. Martin AYE Mr. Neitz AYE Ms. Murphy AYE Ms. Fraprie AYE 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 noticeidecision with the Town Clerk.
