HomeMy WebLinkAboutJ Hughes Letter of OppositionDear Members of the Barnstable Historic Commission:
I am writfng to express concern about the proposed plan for 43 Iyanough Avenue in Hyannisport that will
be discussed at your meetfng on February 18. The sheer scale of this project is out of keeping with the
historic scale of the surrounding homes. A number of the surrounding homes are part of the historic
Stone Leigh Gables hotel, in close proximity to each other. Updatfng the existfng structure at 43, and
adding on, to create a 9000 square foot “mega mansion” is not all in keeping with size, scale and style of
the home in the neighborhood.
Hyannisport is special slice of Americana. It would be a shame to tarnish its unique feel with a
disproportfonately large and out of place structure in such a prominent locatfon.
I respectiully ask you to consider the scale of this project and rule against moving forward with the
current plans.
Best Regards,
Jim Hughes
