Local Initiative Program Applications Policy Adoption
The Town of Barnstable requests to amend the Zoning Board of Appeals Comprehensive Permit Rules and Regulations by addin g
“Procedures for Partnering on a Local Initiative Program Project” as provided.
Senior Planner Jim Kupfer and Housing Coordinator Ryan Bennett share a few slides with the Board to walk through the process
for local initiative program comprehensive permits under Chapter 40B. Currently there is no process in place for a Friendly 40B
(AKA Local Initiative Program) so they are seeking to adopt this process. Denise Johnson expresses concern that it may be an
intimidation tactic to sway the ZBA, with other boards and the Town Manager offering approval beforehand. Jim Kupfer says this

7:01 PM Appeal No. 2022-022 Kusiak
Kathleen J. Kusiak, Trustee of the Kathleen Joyce Kusiak Revocable Trust has applied f or a Special Permit pursuant to Section 240-
91(H)(3) Developed Lot Protection, Demolition and Rebuilding on nonconforming lots by Special Permit. The Applicant is
proposing to demolish the existing 1,646 square foot dwelling and construct a 2,367 square fo ot dwelling pursuant to the plans
by ES Design and by Down Cape Engineering. The subject property is located at 130 Seventh Avenue, Hyannis, MA as shown on
Assessor’s Map 245 as Parcel 062. It is located in the Residence B (RB) Zoning District.
Attorney Michael Schulz is representing the applicant. He is joined by Ed Sargent, the architect, and the owner and applicant
Kathleen Kusiak. The property is a single-family residence that was built in 1952 on a 7,979 square foot lot. It is consistent with
the neighborhood in terms of size and setback. The property is located 22 feet from For rest Street, 2 feet from the easterly
property line, 6.7 from the northerly property line, and 35.7 feet from 7 th Avenue, with a lot coverage of 23.12%. Attorney Schulz
reads through his proposed findings and submits that the proposed setbacks are greater except the staircase that extends on the
northerly property line. All of the criteria for 210-91(H)(3) are met. The lot coverage is less than the existing, at 22.5%, the FAR is
less than .3, and the building height is 29.7 inches. It is not substantially more detrimental to the neighborhood and will be
increasing green space and reducing lot coverage. The applicant has received 5 letters of support.
Chair Dewey opens it up to the Board for questions. Paul Pinard notes that of all the letters of support, only one is from a direct
abutter.
Chair Dewey opens for public comment. He notes the five letters of support: Claire Curran, Mark & Jessica Joyce, Michael &
Kendra McKinley, Sue & Steve Mele, and Patricia Nakache, and one general letter from Gail Gugel. Jake Dewey makes a motion
to close public comment. Herb Bodensiek seconds.
Vote:
Aye: Jake Dewey, David Hirsch, Herb Bodensiek, Mark Hansen, Paul Pinard
Nay:
The Board deliberates. Mark Hansen asks if this is by right aside from the undersized lot. Attorney Schulz confirms.
Mark Hansen makes findings for Appeal No. 2022-022:
Kathleen J. Kusiak, Trustee of the Kathleen Joyce Kusiak Revocable Trust has applied for a Special Perm it pursuant to Section 240-
91(H)(3) Developed Lot Protection, Demolition and Rebuilding on nonconforming lots by Special Permit. The Applicant is
proposing to demolish the existing 1,646 square foot dwelling and construct a 2,367 square foot dwelling pursu ant to the plans
by ES Design and by Down Cape Engineering. The subject property is located at 130 Seventh Avenue, Hyannis, MA as shown on
Assessor’s Map 245 as Parcel 062. It is located in the Residence B (RB) Zoning District.
1. The application falls within a category specifically excepted in the ordinance for a grant of a special permit. Section 240-
91 H. (3) allows for demolition and rebuilding on a nonconforming lot.
2. Site Plan Review is not required for single family residential dwellings.
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.
Further, Section 240-91 H.(3) requires the Board to find that if the proposed demolition and rebuilding cannot satisfy the criteria
established is H. (1) As-Of-Right, then the Board may allow the demolition and rebuilding by Special Permit provided the Board
finds that:
4. The proposed yard setbacks must be equal to or greater than the yard setbacks of the existing building. The existing
front yard setbacks are 22.3 feet from Forrest St and 35.7 feet from Seventh Ave, easterly side yard setback is 2 feet and
northerly side yard setback is 6.7 feet. The proposed front yard setbacks are 31.8 feet from Forrest Street and 27.1 from
Seventh Ave, and the northerly side yard setback is 6.5 feet and the easterly side yard setback is 10.1 feet. The required
setbacks are 20 feet front, side and rear are 10 feet.
5. The proposed lot coverage shall not exceed 20% or the existing lot coverage, whichever is greater. The proposed lot
coverage is 22.5%, a reduction from the existing lot coverage of 23.12%.
6. The floor area ratio shall not exceed 0.30 or 30% the existing floor area ra tio of the structure being demolished,
whichever is greater. The proposed FAR is 29%.
7. The building height, in feet, shall not exceed 30 feet to the highest plate and shall contain no more than 2 ½ stories. The
proposed height is approx. 29.7 feet to plate (30 feet maximum) and is 2 stories.
8. The proposed new dwelling would not be substantially more detrimental to the neighborhood than the existing
dwelling.
Jake Dewey remarks that the findings do not address the staircase that is intruding into the setback and the Building
Commissioner may take issue with that. Attorney Schulz says they can reduce the staircase by .2 feet to keep it existing and will
make that reference on the plan. Herb Bodensiek seconds the findings.
Vote:
Aye: Jake Dewey, David Hirsch, Herb Bodensiek, Mark Hansen, Paul Pinard
Nay:
Mark Hansen reads that the appeal is subject to conditions 1-6 from Staff Report dated May 13, 2022. Attorney Schulz requests
that Condition No. 4 clarify the floor area ratio to not exceed 30%. Mark Hansen the n reads that the appeal is subject to
conditions 1-3, 5, and 6 as written, and No. 4 as “The total lot coverage of all structures on the lot shall not exceed 22.5% and the
floor-area ratio shall not exceed 30%.”

7:02 PM Appeal No. 2022-023 Starr
Sherri Starr, Trustee of Tempy Realty Trust, has applied for a Special Permit pursuant to Section 240 -93 B. Nonconforming
Buildings or Structures not used as Single-or Two-Family Dwellings, by Special Permit. The Applicant is proposing to demolish the
existing 884 square foot residential condominium unit and construct a new 1,054 square foot residential condominium unit i n
accordance with plans prepared by W.B. Daniels Architectural Design and by Canal Land Surveying and Permitting Inc. The
subject property is located at 16 Second Avenue No. 4, Osterville, MA as shown on Assessor’s Map 116 as Parcel 061 -00H. It is
located in the Residence C (RC) Zoning District.
Sitting on this will be Jake Dewey, David Hirsch, Herb Bodensiek, Mark Hansen, and Paul Pinard.
Attorney Michael Schulz is representing the applicant. The lot is comprised of 47, 878 square feet. It has 5 structur es of
condominiums. There is no date associated with the building, but would suggest it predates any zoning in Osterville. It is
consistent with the neighborhood in terms of size and setback. Attorney Schulz reads through his proposed findings and submit s
that they will be improving the structural integrity of the cottage with the demo/rebuild, and the setback requirements will be
either maintained or improved. The Board of Trustees of the condominiums, who are also owners of neighboring units, approved
the plans. He suggests that under 240-93B the structure does house a conforming use so no finding is required.
Chair Dewey opens it up to the Board for questions. Jake Dewey expresses confusion that this can be a single-family lot, and
therefore conforming, if there are 5 dwellings on it. He asks why the applicant didn’t go to Site Plan Review. Attorney Schulz
responds that Building Commissioner Brian Florence told him the property did not need to go before Site Plan Review.
Chair Dewey opens for public comment. He reads that the Board received a letter from Aunt Tempy’s Board of Trustees in
support. Jake Dewey makes a motion to close public comment. Herb Bodensiek seconds.

7:03 PM Appeal No. 2022-024 Zhang/Wang
Ying Zhang and Yingli Wang have applied for a Special Permit pursuant to Section 240 -91 H. (3) Developed Lot Protection,
Demolition and Rebuilding on nonconforming lots by Special Permit, Section 240 -92 B. Nonconforming Buildings or Structures
used as Single and Two-Family Residences by Special Permit, Section 240-93 B. Nonconforming Buildings or Structures not used
as Single and Two-Family Residences by Special Permit, and Alteration of a Nonconforming Use pursuant to Section 240 -94 A.
and Expansion under Section 240-94 B. The Applicant is proposing to demolish the existing two dwellings (principal dwelling
contains 2,600 square feet and Cottage contains 500 square feet) and construct two dwellings (proposed principal dwelling will
contain 2,728 square feet and the proposed cottage will contain 960 square feet) and to transfer the second kitchen facilitie s
from the Principal Dwelling to the Cottage. The subject property is located at 401 Ocean Street, Hyannis, MA as shown on
Assessor’s Map 325 as Parcel 010. It is located in the Residence B (RB) Zoning District.
Sitting on this will be Jake Dewey, David Hirsch, Herb Bodensiek, Mark Hansen, and Pa ul Pinard.
Attorney Jennifer Carey is representing the applicants. She is joined by the architect of the project. The lot is improved wi th a
two-family dwelling and a cottage (with no kitchen). The applicants would like to demo/rebuilt both structures, an d in doing so,
move the second kitchen from the main dwelling to the cottage. The cottage is located within the sideyard setback, and the
rebuild would keep it there. Attorney Carey hopes this would go through under 240 -94(A), but would be amenable if the Board
requested 240-94(B) for expansion.
Chair Dewey opens it up to the Board for questions. Paul Pinard asks how many bedrooms there are. Attorney Carey responds
currently 3 bedrooms.
Chair Dewey opens for public comment. Susan Parmater of 389 Ocean Street addresses the Board to voice her support. Jake
Dewey makes a motion to close public comment. Mark Hansen seconds.
Vote:
Aye: Jake Dewey, David Hirsch, Herb Bodensiek, Mark Hansen, Paul Pinard
Nay:
The Board deliberates. Mark Hansen doesn’t believe this needs be determined an expansion. He asks how the cottage was used
before. Attorney Carey explains that the existing cottage is without facilities and was and will continue to be mostly used for
overflow guests. The main dwelling is a preexisting nonco nforming two-family with two kitchens. Mark Hansen asks if the
cottage is currently served by sewer. Mrs. Wang answers that the cottage has a bathroom that is on sewer. Jake Dewey wants to
be careful about this, so as to not grant buildability for the cott age. Attorney Carey explains that having two kitchens is
preexisting nonconforming—they just want to move one kitchen from the main house to the cottage. The applicants want the
main dwelling to feel like a single-family home, but want to maintain the ability to have the second kitchen they are granted
because of their two-family dwelling status. The Board expresses confusion over why the cottage isn’t an ADU. Attorney Carey
responds that they don’t need an ADU because they are a preexisting nonconforming t wo-family. Jake Dewey says the cottage is
not preexisting nonconforming, only the house is. The Board and Attorney Carey discuss a recent appeal, 2022 -014, where the
Board approved moving a kitchen from a beach house to a pool house on a property. The difference is that this is a two-family.
Paul Pinard believes it needs to be a condition that the primary residence goes from a two -family to a one-family.
Paul Pinard makes findings for Appeal No. 2022-024:
Ying Zhang and Yingli Wang have applied for a Special Permit pursuant to Section 240-91 H. (3) Developed Lot Protection,

and Expansion under Section 240-94 B. The Applicant is proposing to demolish the existing two dwellings (principal dwelling
contains 2,600 square feet and Cottage contains 500 square feet) and construct two dwellings (proposed principal dwelling wil l
contain 2,728 square feet and the proposed cottage will contain 960 square f eet) and to transfer the second kitchen facilities
from the Principal Dwelling to the Cottage. The subject property is located at 401 Ocean Street, Hyannis, MA as shown on
Assessor’s Map 325 as Parcel 010. It is located in the Residence B (RB) Zoning Distr ict.
1. The application falls within a category specifically excepted in the ordinance for a grant of a special permit. Section 240-

Further, Section 240-91(H)(3) requires the Board to find that if the proposed demolition and rebuilding cannot satisfy the criteria
established is H(1) As-Of-Right, then the Board may allow the demolition and rebuilding by Special Permit provided the Board
finds that:
4. The proposed yard setbacks must be equal to o r greater than the yard setbacks of the existing building. Existing front yard
setback for the principal dwelling is 24 feet, and the side yard setback for the accessory dwelling is 7.8 feet. The proposed

yard setback requirement in the RB District is 20 feet.

coverage is 15%.
6. The floor area ratio shall not exceed 0.30 or 30% the existing floor area ratio of the structure being demolished, whichever
is greater. The proposed FAR is 24%.
7. The building height, in feet, shall not exceed 30 feet to the highest plate and shall contain no more than 2 ½ stories. The

8. The proposed new dwelling would not be substantially more detrimental to the neighborhood than the existing dwelling.
Section 240-94 A. requires the Board to make the following findings:
9. The applicant has received all necessary approvals from the Board of Health.
10. The proposed nonconforming use:
(a) Requires no more parking than the previous use;
(b) Does not generate more traffic than the previous use, as measured by the Institute of Transportation Engineers Trip
Generation Handbook or other sources acceptable to the Zoning Board of Appeals, nor does it cause Town expenditures to
address traffic mitigation measures;
(c) Does not result in an increase of on-site and off-site noise, dust, and odors;
(d) Does not result in an increase in the hours of operation or in the number of tenants or employees;
(e) Does not expand the gross floor area of the nonconforming use, except as may be provided in § 240-93B, nor does it
increase the number of nonconforming uses on a site;
(f) Is on the same lot as occupied by the nonconforming use on the date it became nonconforming; and
(g) Is not expanded beyond the zoning district in existence on the date it became nonconforming.
Section 240-94 B. requires the board to make the following findings:
11. Any proposed expansion of the use shall conform to the established setbacks for the zoning district in which it is located,
or such greater setbacks as the Zoning Board of Appeals may require due to the nature of the use and its impact on the
neighborhood and surrounding properties.
12. The proposed use and expansion is on the same lot a s occupied by the nonconforming use on the date it became
nonconforming.
13. The proposed new use is not expanded beyond the zoning district in existence on the date it became nonconforming.
14. At the discretion of the Zoning Board of Appeals, improvements may be required in order to reduce the impact on the
neighborhood and surrounding properties including but not limited to the following:
(a) Greater conformance of signage to the requirements of Article VII;
(b) The addition of off-street parking and loading facilities;
(c) Improved pedestrian safety, traffic circulation and reduction in the number and/or width of curb cuts;
(d) Increase of open space or vegetated buffers and screening along adjoining lots and roadways. The applicant shall
demonstrate maximum possible compliance with § 240-53, Landscape Requirements for Parking Lots, Subsection F, if
applicable.
(e) Accessory uses or structures to the principal nonconforming use may be required to be brought into subs tantial
conformance with the present zoning.
Section 240-93 B. requires the board to make the following finding:
15. The proposed repairs, alterations and/or expansion are not substantially more detrimental to the surrounding
neighborhood. If the building or structure houses a nonconforming use, the provisions of § 240-94 shall also apply.
The Board discusses whether the applicant has met all these findings, as Paul Pinard was unsure about Finding No. 10. Herb
Bodensiek asks whether the applicant wants to apply under 240-93 B or 240-92 B. Attorney Carey says they will withdraw 240-93
B and apply under 240-92 B.
