Re: LNG Tank Replacement
Dear Mr Ciocca,
Thank you for your patience while the details of the proposed project were under review. While it is understood how important this project is to the Town of Yarmouth as well as Cape
Cod, a thorough review was required to start the project on the right foot.
I have reviewed the original D.P.U. decision #15972, Jan. 15, 1969, and decisions #15972A and #15972B dated Nov. 5, 1971. I have also reviewed the legal opinion dated April 17, 2025,
by Asst. General Counsel Mark R. Rielly. I have also had communication with Town Counsel and have come to the conclusion that at a minimum, a modification of the existing order(s) will
be necessary to replace the LNG tank.
Absent any modification to existing decisions or a new decision from the Department of Public Utilities, a Special Permit will be required from the Town of Yarmouth Zoning Board of Appeals
as required by Table 202.5. Use F8.
Alternatively, you may appeal this order to the Zoning Board of Appeals as allowed by MGL c. 40a §7 & §15.
I am available for any questions you may have.
Very truly,
Mark Grylls
Director of Inspectional Services / Building Commissioner
