173 Route 6A, LLC and Gregory C. Bilezikian
173 Route 6A, LLC
173 Route 6A, Yarmouth Port, MA
Map 122, Parcel 120
Zoning District: R-40 and B-1
Title: Book 34285, Page 56
MEMBERS PRESENT AND VOTING: Chairman Sean Igoe, Dick Martin, John Mantoni,
Barbara Murphy, and Tim Scanlan
Notice of the hearing was 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 was held on the date stated above.
The petitioner is 173 Route 6A, LLC and Gregory C. Bilezikian, who seeks relief in connection
with property at 173 Route 6A, Yarmouth Port, MA. The property contains 20,909 square feet of
area and is located in the R-40 and B-1 zoning districts. The petitioner seeks a Variance from
§303.5.2 for the size and advertising logo on a 3.11 square -foot, on -premise directional sign.
Due to the popularity of a coffee drink sold at Lighthouse Keeper's Pantry, the Petitioner
testified that business has increased 100% on a daily basis. However, the Petitioner has not hired
an employee to direct traffic nor asked the Yarmouth Police if he should hire a detail.
Instead, the Yarmouth Police have used megaphones and tickets to compel customers to move
their cars, and the Commonwealth of Massachusetts has installed a "no parking" sign in front of
the property on Route 6A. Yet, customers still park in the "no parking" zone.
Chairman Igoe questioned if granting the relief would solve the parking problem and if further
relief should have been requested.
No one spoke in favor of or in opposition to the petition and no new exhibits were received.
A TRUE COPY ATTEST.
CM" D GM2 /9T?ffi CLERK
After much discussion, while all Board Members would have preferred a smaller directional
sign, a majority of the Board agreed that the proposed sign was acceptable in order to direct
customers to the parking area behind the Lighthouse Keeper's Pantry.
Accordingly, a motion was made by Mr. Scanlan, and seconded by Mr. Mantoni, to grant the
Variance as requested. The members voted as follows: Mr. Martin: AYE; Mr. Mantoni: AYE;
Ms. Murphy: AYE; Mr. Scanlan: AYE; Chairman Igoe: NAY. The motion was voted 4 in favor
and 1 against. Therefore, the Variance 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, a
Variance shall lapse if the rights authorized herein are not exercised within 12 months. (See
MGL c40A § 10)
