RE: Wicked Willy's Raw Bar& Fish n Chips/Variance Decisions
473 Main Street, Hyannis, MA
Dear Mr. Martinez,
Your request for variances from Sections 322-4 of the Town of Barnstable Code and from
Section 322-5(3) of the Town of Barnstable Code, to provide additional seating without first
providing a sufficient number of toilets, sinks and restrooms in compliance with the State
Plumbing Code, are not granted.
The variance application included a sketch plan showing fifty-two (52) additional seats
proposed. According to Robert Duffy, Plumbing Inspector for the Town of Barnstable, the
existing two (2) onsite toilets (one in the men's restroom and one in the women's restroom) will
accommodate no more than 52 patrons and staff combined. Therefore, the seating is limited to
52 seats total onsite at this time.
You are granted multiple variances from Section 322-5(5) of the Town of Barnstable Code and
from federal food codes including from Section 6-202.15(A), Outer Openings; from Section 6-

Junctures; and from Section 6-201.18 Walls and Ceilings, in order to operate a raw/tiki bar.
These variances are granted with the following conditions:
1) Only clams and oysters may be shucked within an enclosed glass unit, at the outdoor
raw/tiki bar. No other food items shall be prepared outdoors at the raw/tiki bar. All other
food items, including shrimp, must be prepared within a licensed food establishment which
is enclosed and protected from insects and rodents with floor-to ceiling walls, self-closing
doors, closed tight-fitted windows, screened windows, and screened doors.
2) Shellfish must be kept on ice at all times. The internal temperature of the shellfish must

8) The area must be thoroughly cleaned and sanitized on a regular basis and at the end of
each day.
9) The applicant shall provide a written description of the method for cleaning floors and
walls within the tiki bar. If water flush methods will be used, sufficient drains must be graded
to drain and all floor and wall junctures shall be coved and sealed.
10) No more than 52 seats total are authorized onsite at this time.
11) Unannounced heath inspections will occur on a regular basis. The above listed
variances may be revoked anytime unsanitary conditions are observed at this raw/tiki bar.
