7:00 PM Appeal No. 2025-035 Ashley Manor LLC
Ashley Manor LLC has applied for a Special Permit pursuant to Section 240-11 C. (6) Condition Uses in the RB, RD-1, and RF-2
Districts – Bed and Breakfast. The Applicant is seeking to change the use from group home to owner -occupied bed and breakfast.
The subject property is located at 3660 Main Street, Barnstable, MA as shown on Assessor’s Map 317 as Parcel 021 -001. It is located
in the Residence F-2 (RF-2) Zoning District. Continued from December 10, 2025 and January 14, 2026. Members assigned: Dewey,
Bodensiek, Pinard, Webb, Alves.
Acting Chair Bodensiek notes that Jake Dewey is an assigned member but is not present, so he assigns Debra Dworkis instead, who
was present at both previous meetings. The Chairman reads Appeals No. 2025-041, -042, and -043 for Ashley Manor into the record
as well.
Attorney Patrick Nickerson is representing the applicant and is joined by Dan Ojala, engineer, and owners Virginia Donovan, Philippe
Pieri, and Kai Cole. Attorney Nickerson explains that in 1998 the original special permit and variance were granted allowing 6
bedrooms and 12 lodgers onsite. That was the historical use from 1985 until 2023, where the property was briefly used as a group
home. Now, the applicants are seeking to reopen as a B&B. The owners are Barnstable High School graduates and have experience
managing properties, including historic ones, in Barnstable. This is part of their retirement plan. The main house is 5,400 sq. ft. and
dates back to at least 1720. There are resources needed to preserve it, and the income from the B&B is necessary for that. They are
proposing 5 guest bedrooms in the main house and 1 in the cottage. No cooking facilities are proposed in any. The remaining
requirements of 11 C.(6) are met.
For the special permit modification (2025-41), Attorney Nickerson says the issuance of the existing special permit satisfies the
prongs—there are no proposed site changes or exterior changes. The proposal does not derogate, because this has been in practice
for 40+ years.
For the variance (2025-042) Attorney Nickerson explains that the proposal is to modify the original variance, to transfer it to the new
owners and to allow 6 bedrooms as proposed. The Board previously found that sufficient variance conditions existed to grant
approval, and he relies on those findings and add that the cottage itself has unique features in shape and location.
Back to the Board for questions. Paul Pinard asks Attorney Nickerson to clarify the specific requests. Attorney Nickerson explains
that he filed in such a way to cover all their bases: two modifications were filed, and then also, an application for a new special
permit and a new variance were filed, almost ignoring the previous decisions altogether given the brief use as a group home. Chair
Bodensiek asks how many bedrooms were used during the use as a group home. Attorney Nickerson says they enlisted the Dover
Amendment, so that use didn’t require a decision from this Board, but the cottage was used as quarters and all bedrooms were
used. Kai Cole says it’s always been all the bedrooms used for the B&B.
Dan Ojala, surveyor and engineer, walks through the site plan. There are 12 parking spaces where 10 are required, and room to
expand. There is a low-impact, native-type design, and the site is well drained. The septic was adequate, healthy capacity.
The Board discusses whether they need to be concerned over the cottage becoming rentable, where it wasn’t in the past. The group
discusses whether they need to approve the two modifications if the Board approves the new applications. Attorney Nickerson says
no, except that would nullify all the conditions from the existing decisions. Manny Alves asks what has changed since the decision
that explicitly stated the cottage not be rented. Attorney Nickerson says what has changed generally would be the local appetite for
accessory structures. They looked into using it as an ADU, but it’s not a dwelling and doesn’t have cooking facilities (which are
prohibited in B&B regs), and it also can’t be utilized because of the commercial use of the main house. The cottage was constructed
in 1935 and has been used as an accessory bedroom for 40+ years, and can’t be converted to an ADU without conflicting with the
ADU bylaws. As it sits, it has no way to generate income, despite that it’s essentially exempt under 40A Section 6 and 7, through no
fault of the applicant who purchased the property thinking they could rent it. He submits the Board could modify the condition to
allow use of the one bedroom cottage. The Board discusses the reasoning behind the old ZBA calling out specifically that the cottage
should not be included in the rentals. The Board discusses whether the rooms in the main house could be reconfigured to make the
existing count work. The applicant says they cannot because of privacy concerns, so they are unable to meet the allowed 6
bedrooms in the main house that the original variance decision allowed. The Board discusses whether they should proceed with
modifying the variance and then withdraw the two extraneous applications after.
Attorney Nickerson asks the Board to grant 2025-041 to transfer it to the name of Ashley Manor LLC; to grant 2025-042 to transfer it
to the name of Ashley Manor LLC and make an additional modification to condition 2 to read, “the renting of up to 6 bedrooms for
Page 3 of 9 3
B&B use is allowed in the main house and cottage without new construction. The cottage may be used as part of B&B operation for
rental to lodgers as a separate single bedroom for lodging purposes.”

7:00 PM Appeal No. 2025-039 High Point Treatment Centers, Inc
High Point Treatment Centers, Inc has applied for a Modification Permit in connection with the proposed educational use, prot ected
under G.L. c. 40A, Section 3. The Applicant seeks to authorize an approximately 539 sq. ft. addition for a new, handicapped
accessible elevator and entrance at the southwest corner of the building. The proposal will not alter the existing impervious
coverage at the site nor the buffer areas, but it will create a new front yard setback nonconformity and intensify the preexi sting
nonconforming side yard setback. The subject property is located at 60 Perseverance Way, Hyannis, MA as shown on Assessor’s M ap
295 as Parcel 008. It is located in the Industrial (IND) Zoning District.
Attorney Liza Cox is representing the applicant and is joined by Daniel Mumbauer; Dan Ojala, engineer; and Dan Lewis, the project
architect.
Attorney Cox walks through existing conditions: the property is 2.07 acres in the IND and multiple overlay districts. It is developed
with an existing 2-story commercial building constructed in 1975. It’s 17,185 sq. ft. for a total gross floor area of 33,591 sq. ft. Some
parking spaces extend past the property line and as part of this, they are proposing to bring those back on this property. It is lawfully
nonconforming to impervious coverage. There are portions currently leased to a state agency, and the remaining portion is vacant
but was used by the MA Dept. of Revenue. The 2nd floor is vacant but used to be office space and beds for the MA Dept. of Health.
The proposed project is a nonprofit charity whose mission is to prevent and treat substance abuse and mental health disorders. They
are proposing to renovate the west side of the first floor and the entire second floor to operate an inpatient and outpatient
counseling, rehab, and education center. The first floor is outpatient counseling and educational programs for children and adults.
The second floor is 64 treatment beds for detox, rehab, and educational programs for inpatient adults. 10 hours a day there are
educational activities.
The proposed use qualifies under the Dover Amendment and there is lots of case law to support that proposition. Exempt uses must
comply with reasonable bulk requirements. Towns cannot require variance relief from reasonable dimensional requirements. The
project complies or is preexisting nonconforming except for two setbacks associated with a proposed accessible entrance/elevator.
The town created a modification permit different from a special permit for this purpose. They have 46.9 ft. where 60 ft. is required.
The side yard setback is going from 25.1 ft. to 18.7 ft. They are proposing an additional separate entrance for youth outpatient
counseling from adult outpatient counseling and adult inpatient.
Page 4 of 9 4
Attorney Cox suggests that a modification permit is warranted. She submits that strict application of dimensional requirements
would substantially detract from the usefulness of the site. For the wellbeing of the patients, the applicant wants to create
separation. There are no public safety hazards or nuisances.
The Chair assigns himself, Paul Pinard, Aaron Webb, Manny Alves, and Debra Dworkis.
Back to the Board for questions. Aaron Webb asks if they could create a new entryway for the adult portion to the addition and
leave the youth entrance. Dan Lewis says they looked at a number of options. He explains that the proposal is not only the intake
area for inpatients, but also a way to move them upstairs to their final location. If they brought patients in the side entrance, they
would have to go through half the building and combine with the adolescents, so functionally it doesn’t work. Mr. Mumbauer says
the second elevator is also good in case they need to repair the first elevator —it increases accessibility. The group discusses the
nonprofits.
Dan Ojala says there was a typo on the site plan: the side yard setback should be 18.4 not 18.7 ft.
Chair Bodensiek opens public comment. Town Councilor Betty Ludtke asks if patients are inside the whole time; what brought High
Point here; is this their first location on Cape Cod; and how they chose Barnstable. Mr. Mumbauer says there is a grassy area with
picnic tables where people can sit, but patients stay on the property. The kids’ clinic is age 3 and up. They have never worked on
cape before. The reason is because there is a pending reduction of beds available on cape because the state is moving the only
location in Falmouth across the bridge. There are about 1,000 admissions a year from the cape. Plymouth is the closest hub to the
cape. The cape location is the smallest of the 4 hubs. They chose the location in Hyannis to serve anyone on cape because it’s
centrally located and it’s right off the highway. Councilor Ludtke asks if they’re working with an existing network of sober houses and
whether they’ve done analysis that we can handle what they’re doing. Mr. Mumbauer says they work with sober houses and
halfway houses throughout the commonwealth. The Falmouth location was leased, and their lease is ending. Unfortunately, there
are never enough beds. Councilor Ludtke asks if they foresee coming back if they find another building. Mr. Mumbauer says it’s a
decent-sized facility with 64 beds. They have 1,400 employees and it takes over 100 people to run this facility so it’s a balance. They
unfortunately couldn’t find enough clinical staff to expand. Manny Alves asks in terms of licensing, are they subject to any in the
town. Mr. Mumbauer says yes, a part of the plan is a commercial kitchen, for which they are working with the Dept. of Health.

Vote:
Aye: Herb Bodensiek, Manny Alves, Paul Pinard, Debra Dworkis, Aaron Webb
Nay: None
Aaron Webb makes findings:
1. The application falls within a category specifically excepted in the ordinance for a grant of a modification permit. This is
protected under G.L. c. 40A, Section 3.
2. Site Plan Review Committee found the project approvable subject to zoning relief in a letter dated December 19, 2025.
3. After an evaluation of all the evidence presented, the proposal fulfills the spirit and intent of the Zoning Ordinance and
would not represent a substantial detriment to the public good or the neighborhood affected. He finds that separating
adult and adolescent uses is an improvement.
Manny Alves adds findings under Section 240-8:
4. The above regulations would substantially diminish or detract from the usefulness of the proposed development or impair
the character of the development so as to affect its intended use. Allowing this will not create a public safety hazard along
the adjacent roadways or create a nuisance to the surrounding properties such that it would impair the use of these
properties.

7:01 PM Appeal No. 2025-041 Ashley Manor LLC
Ashley Manor LLC has applied for a Modification of Special Permit No. 1998-61B to allow the continued operation of a 6-bedroom
bed and breakfast with a maximum of 12 lodgers under new ownership. The relief was originally granted in 1998, and the specia l
permit has been previously modified in 2001, 2004, and 2019 to transfer it to each successive owner. The subject property is located
at 3660 Main Street, Barnstable, MA as shown on Assessor’s Map 317 as Parcel 021 -001. It is located in the Residence F-2 (RF-2)
Zoning District.
Note: This was discussed in concert with Appeal No. 2025-035. The summary of dialogue can be found under that appeal n umber.
Aaron Webb makes findings:
1. The application falls within a category specifically excepted in the ordinance for a grant of a special permit. Section 240 -11
C. (6) allows B&B’s with a Special Permit.
2. After an evaluation of all the evidence presented, the proposal fulfills the spirit and intent of the Zoning Ordinance and
would not represent a substantial detriment to the public good or the neighborhood affected. He finds that the history of
the property and its use proves that 6 bedrooms and 12 lodgers is not more detrimental.
3. A Site Plan has been reviewed and found approvable with conditions. Site Plan Review has issued a No Detriment letter
dated December 3, 2025.

7:04 PM Appeal No. 2025-040 WS Landing at Hyannis LLC
WS Landing at Hyannis LLC has petitioned for a Modification of Variance No. 2023 -022, which adopted site-wide criteria governing
signage for The Landing at Hyannis. The proposed modification seeks the addition of one additional 35 sq. ft. free -standing sign
without any increase to the total sign area approved for the site. The subject property is located at 790 Iyannough Road, Hya nnis,
MA as shown on Assessor’s Map 311 as Parcel 092. It is located in the Highway Business (HB) and Business (B) Zoning Districts .
Chair Bodensiek assigns himself, Paul Pinard, Aaron Webb, Manny Alves, and Debra Dworkis.
Attorney Eliza Cox is representing the applicant and is joined by Katie Campion of WS Development and Ronald Hart representing
Panera. Attorney Cox explains that they were previously before the Board in November seeking a new variance to enable the
construction of a drive through menu sign for Panera’s approved drive through. After hearing the Board’s concerns about granting
that, they withdrew the application and met with town officials regarding the best approach to bring this forward, recognizing that
adequate signage is a critical factor for the drive through the Board approved. The consensus was to seek an amendment of the
existing sign variance decision that this Board granted, and to do it so that it does not increase the authorized amount of signage
area on the property.
Attorney Cox walks through the site plan. It is 27 acres with multiple frontages. The Board previously issued an allowance for drive
throughs. The existing variance from 2023 included broad recognition of variance conditions on the site, and the benefits of the
signage package. The modification request is proposing the addition of one freestanding sign, which they suggest is necessary to
promote public safety and the safe operations of the drive through. The modification does not increase total allowable sign area
that’s been authorized. What’s proposed is that a portion of the previously approved signage will be removed from a freestanding
pylon to a new freestanding sign. There will be 4 freestanding signs proposed in total, AKA 1 per 6.75 acres, which is not an increase.
The site contains unique circumstances, and the Board has already found that there is substantial hardship of literal enforcement. It
jeopardizes the lease, and the functionality and safety of the drive through the Board already approved. It is not a substantial
detriment or derogation. It’s not a new variance; they are staying within the parameters of approved signage area; there is no
increase in signage area, only reallocating; there’s a reduction in total number of freestanding signs; the orientation of this sign is
interior and set back 90 feet from Route 132. The applicant would agree to a condition that both Ella’s and Tiki Port would be
removed contemporaneously so there’s no new increase in signage.
Back to the Board for questions. The Board discusses whether they think the drive-through sign location makes sense. Manny Alves
has a problem with the ordinance rather than this appeal. The Board approved LED-lit signs in a prior variance. The Board discusses
the issue of this being already approved. It is a unique lot.
Attorney Cox would recommend modifying the conditions of the prior variance by substituting the revised documentation they’ve
submitted. She requests to remove or revise condition no. 3 from the Staff Report, because there are directional signs from the
Building Commissioner. They could revise it to say further addition is prohibited without prior approval from Board. Ms. Campion
says one concern is that there will be tenants changing signage. The group discusses directional signage, which is not included in the
overall scope. Attorney Cox says the original variance limits tenants to certain signage based on their location on the site, including
directional signage. The Board discusses whether they can limit what they approve today to this tenant, so if it changes, the sign has
to come back to the Board. Manny Alves says it’s more complicated than that because of the original decision, which separated the
lot into locations. Manny Alves says they are only asking to change the pylon signs, not all signs. Attorney Cox thinks her requested
changes cover these issues. It will only change the numbers for pylon signs, and limit it to the exact image of the Panera sign. The
group discusses whether that is enough. Aaron Webb is concerned that the applicant will be back before the Board again,
continually shuffling the deck of signage. Manny Alves says that is the bed the Board made by granting the original variance.
The group discusses how to phrase findings and whether the approval should be assigned to the building rather than the tenant.
