Lodging house shelved In Barnstable ,builders can legally construct large houses intended as lodging houses ,and afterwards apply for a lodg- ing house license.But that build-first ask-later risk did not pay off May 29 for builder Dale Crowder. A fter a public hearing which featured a packed room of vocal opponents ,selectmen turned down Crowder 'sapplica- tion for a lodging house license for an already-constructed house on Potter Street in Hyannis.The board ruled the license would be a detriment to the neighborhood and would not meet requirements of the town parking bylaw. Neither Crowder nor his attorney,Michael Ford of Hyan- nis ,could be reached for comment by The Register's deadline. A lodging house license allows for rental to up to six lodgers by a family member.But when the hearing convened at 10 am ,selectmen questioned why neither Crowder nor a person who would live on the premises was present ,since suitability of the landlord and on-site manager can be con- sidered . "I'm beginning to wonder whether there is a Dale Crowder ,"quipped Selectman John Klimm.Later ,after the board continued the hearing until 2 pm ,Crowder attended and told selectmen he intends to live in the house himself. Selectmen ,as well as area residents ,questioned why the house has nine bedrooms and multiple bathrooms -in- cluding three in the ground-level ,four-car garage.Ford , representing Crowder ,said he did not know why the garages included bathrooms ,and Crowder said later they were for residents 'convenience. The sentiment of the roughly 40 people in attendence was summed up by Potter Avenue resident Edmond Dery,who commented ,"Theneighborhood's against this whole thing."And other residents added they fear granting Crowder 'srequest would spur much other lodging house development elsewhere in town.In fact ,Crowder is currently at work on a similar house nearby on Linden Street. Residents there last month presented selectmen with a peti- tion opposing a lodging house license for that house should Crowder apply for one. One Shore lot denied Selectmen Marty Flynn and John Klimm voted May 29 to deny an application by Carolyn and Joseph Shore to renew a license for one of their three Hyannis parking lots. The denial came essentially by default since Flynn and Klimm could not agree on a positive motion.Selectmen Jack Weiss was not at the meeting. Selectmen have previously cited the Shores for violations at their lots ,which are on contiguous parcels off Ocean and Nantucket Street.Last September ,the board revoked a license for one lot after finding lot attendants had waved cars into the lots.The town bylaw prohibits this because of the confusion it causes motorists. Licenses for two of the Shore 'slots have been renewed , but when they applied for the third selectmen asked them to provide some written assurance that violations would not continue.In a letter dated May 14 the Shores offered to pay fines to the town on any future violations into a fund they would set up.They also offered to erect either a small booth or tall chair for lot entrance attendants so gesturing would not be as visible.They contended ,however ,that some gesturing is necessary to prevent people from stopping at the entrance and blocking traffic. Flynn said he would find a booth or chair unacceptable and he also rejected the fund proposal.Instea d he moved ap- proval of the license renewal if the Shores would agree that no activity would take place within 20 feet of the curb. Klimm declined to second that motion ,and instead moved that the hearing be continued again so the Shores could sub- mit plans for an entrance structure.When Flynn did not se- cond that motion ,the two voted to deny the renewal. Selectmen also said they were concerned that cars leaving the house 'sdriveway would have to back onto Potter Street in violation of the town parking bylaw ,and that there would be too many peop le for the approximately quarter-acre lot. "Itcertainly stands out in my thinking like somewhat of a monstrousity,"remarked board Chairman Marty Flynn . And the board was piqued about an advertisement -ap- parently for the same house -saying it was for sale for $350,000 and had rental units ,implying that permits were already obtained. Other side of the lot Town offices in Old Town Hall on Main Street in Hyannis will soon be packing their bags and moving to the newly- renovated former School Administration Building,at the other end of the town hall parking lot next to new town hall. Selectmen May 29 accepted a proposal for $7114 from Childs Mayflower of Hyannis to do the moving.The board accepted anoter proposal to install a new telephone system in the building. Offices for the soon-to-bc-expanded Planning and Development Department ,Sandy Neck Governing Board ,Rentals on Pine Grove Homeless shelter will move,become year-round Hyannis-based Housing Assistance Corporation announc- ed May 28 at its annual meeting its plans to move its over- nig ht shelter for single adults from the National Guard Ar- mory on North Street ,Hyannis to an expanded buildi ng at its Winter Street property. According to Shelter Program Director Mark Baker ,the new shelter will operate 24 hours a day and year-round ,and will accommodate between 40 and 50 homeless people.The current program at the armory operates from October through April ,is closed during daytime hours and could serve 30 people at once. Baker says the move is purely a voluntary one.Moving the program to a building owned by the corporation ,and which it will use exclusively,will give the group more latitude to of- fer shelter users more variety of services and more comfort , he explains. And while it will not greatly increase the program 's capacity,Baker comments ,"We'renotlooking to construct a warehouse.We know we'renot going to be able to house At its May 29 meeting,Barnstable Board of Selectmen ap- proved a lodging house license request by Robert Richardson of J.R.Associates Realty Trust for a building on Pine Grove Avenue ,Hyannis.The building,off West Main Street near Cape Cod Melody Tent ,has four one-bedroom apartments and a two-bedroom manager 'sapartment and will be manag- ed by Bonnie Coutu. The license was granted pending submission of a parking plan ,the name of the on-site manager and inspection by Hyannis Fire Department. all of the homeless every night of the year." Corporation offices currentl y occupy approximately 2500 square feet at the Winter Street property.The offices will relocate to West Main Street ,and about 2000 square feet will be added to the existing building.While the property is small , Baker says preliminary consultations with town Building Commissioner Joe DaLuz indicate that Appeals Board ap- proval will not be required.The corporation is aiming to have the new shelter open by September. The work is expected to cost between $100,000 and $125 ,000,of which $20,000 has already been raised ,some from government funding.Several area churches are coor- dinating a fundraising effort for the rest ,and the corporation will be seeking grants as well. Another hold on oil change Walter Volz of Milford asked the Zoning Board of Ap- peals to postpone until June 12 a hearing on his request for a special permit and variance to build a quick service oil change facility.A hearing on his application was scheduled for the board's May 29 meeting. Several weeks ago Volz came before selectmen for a special permit for less than the required amount of parking Continued on Page 12 Housing Assistance Corporation also runs a family shelter for up to five families at one time,also on Winter Street.The two shelters are the only ones on Cape Cod ,according to Baker.
