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 out of the country for this hearing.
My property is located at 47 Wood Rd, South Yarmouth, which is two houses down from the proposed housing
development.
I received the public hearing notice regarding the applicant's request for a 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:
r_. [Street Safety]: The proposed plan is for new homeowners to enter from Wood Road. As the transportation reports
noted, this street is 25MPH street, we(neighbors) continue to complain to the 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.
• 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,
James Delaney
