Further,that the owner is ignoring a directive from the Zoning Board of Appeals (ZBA). Based upon your assumptions you ask that I"enforce the directives issued by you and the Board of Appeals". It appears from your letter [para.3]that the basis of your argument is that because the owner is receiving compensation in exchange for housing; she is continuing to violate the RC zoning districts prohibition of bed and breakfast facilities. In your own words however you"state that the owner receives"reimbursement"for allowing Cape League players to stay in the home as guests. The practice of"reimbursing host families is consistent with my understanding of how many of the Cape League's teams provide housing for their players for the summer baseball season. For example,I reference.the Hyannis Harbor Hawks website which reads: PERKS:Host brothers and sisters are given on field access after home games,priority for bat boys/bat girl opportunities,families receive a stipend to help with some- the costs of adding a family member for the summer. I would disagree that these host families are receiving compensation in exchange for housing;but rather that they provide free housing to players and are reimbursed for a portion of some of the costs associated with hosting a player, not all. In speaking with two of the teams' managers I have been informed that the"reimbursement"that is received doesn't even cover food costs and that the hosts are in fact volunteering to house players as guests in their home for the summer to play ball. After an investigation and a careful review of the facts I have found that: 1. My October 16, 2018 order to cease and desist use of the property as a bed and breakfast as defined in the zoning ordinance has been and continues to be complied with., f 2. No decision was ever made with respect to Zoning Board of Appeals(ZBA)variance request number 2019-001. The matter was withdrawn from consideration by the applicant before the ZBA made a decision. There was never a directive by the ZBA. 3. Cape League hosts are not required by the Cape League or zoning to limit hosting of Cape League players to one(1)per household. 4. Reimbursement is not compensation. S. Speculation that"additional guests will arrive."And that, "A revolving door of transients will appear" is not an appropriate mechanism for beginning an enforcement action. Based upon my findings I hereby DENY your request for zoning enforcement. If you are aggrieved by this determination you may file an appeal with the Town Clerk of Barnstable and the Planning and Development Office, specifying the ground thereof within thirty(30)days.of the receipt of this notice in accordance,with c. 40A § 15 of the Massachusetts General Laws.
