RE: Public Hearing Notice — Petition No. 5240: Habitat for Humanity of Cape Cod
Dear Chairperson and Members of the Zoning Board of Appeals,
I am writing as an abutter to the property located at 1121 Route 28 #B, as I will be unable to
attend on business travel for this hearing. My property is located at 50 Wood Rd, South
Yarmouth, which is diagonal house from the proposed housing development.
I received the public hearing notice regarding the applicant's request for zoning amendment to
allow for property development of six single family, affordable homes.
After reviewing the proposal, I am writing to formally express my opposition to this request.
While I support the development of affordable homes, and the mission of habitat for humanity,
the current proposal poses significant concerns for the immediate neighborhood. Specifically, I
am concerned about:
[Street Safety]: The proposed plan is for new homeowners to enter from Wood
Road. As the transportation reports notes this street is 25MPH street,
we(neighbors) continue to complain to town about high-speed traffic on this
road currently. We have a lot of people (from our neighborhood and
adjoining neighborhoods) use this road to walk to WindMill beach/Smuggler
beach. Adding six family homes to Wood Rd will dramatically increase
traffic, and additional people walking. I did not see any information on the
transportation summary. This town should care about the safety and lives of
this neighborhood.
■ Suggestion to avoid some of this:
■ Reduce the number of proposed homes
■ Require entrance into proposed development from Route 28 not
Wood road.
■ Add sidewalks to Wood Road.
Thank you for your time, consideration, and dedication to maintaining the integrity of our
community's zoning regulations. I look forward to discussing this matter further at the upcoming
public hearing.
Sincerely,
David and Mary Krapf
