Dear members of the Zoning Board of Appeals, YCKJ
BOARD of APPEALS
We are writing to express our strong support of Marilyn Brown and Frank Southworth's
application for ZBA setback relief for the location of their shed and deck at 40 Lorena Road,
West Yarmouth, MA. We are neighbors and live at 23 Lewis Bay Rd, several house away. We
support their ZBA application to move their shed closer to the southwest corner of their
back yard, remaining inside their fence but nearer to their fence and off the leaching field.
We also understand and support their proposal to reduce the size of the shed's deck to
keep the shed and deck under the 150 SF limit. Their shed is used to house their bikes and
gardening tools. In its new location it would have no negative effect on the character of our
neighborhood, being of a size and style consistent with the location of other sheds in the
neighborhood. To be without the shed would represent a hardship to Frank and Marilyn.
They live on a small corner lot with a leaching field which severely limits their options to
locate the shed elsewhere.
In addition, we also support the location of their existing deck at the back of their house.
They have replaced the original poor quality wrap -around deck on the back and one side of
the house with a slightly larger higher quality deck that causes no undue nuisance, hazard
or congestion, and does no substantial harm to the established and future character of our
neighborhood. It is a beautiful deck that adds to their property and in no way infringes on
any neighbors.
Sincerely,
Cyndy and Mike Micale
23 Lewis Bay Road
