RE: Assessor's Map/Parcel Nos. 355/11 and 355/12
Dear Mr. and Mrs. Soller:
At the request of your attorney,Albert J. Schulz,I am writing to you concerning the
above captioned premises, which is a vacant parcel of land that is presently under agreement to
be sold. This parcel, and the abutting parcel, were the subject of several variances issued by the
Town of Barnstable Zoning Board of Appeals. I have reviewed the variance issued by the
Zoning Board of Appeals in Appeal No. 1993-56, which has been recorded in Book 8896,Page
121 and the deed from you to Paul and Barbara Rand recorded in Book 8896, Page 244. Based
on my review of the variance and deed,which one of the lots that was the subject of the variance,
I am prepared to issue a building permit to you or any subsequent purchase of the vacant parcel.
•
It is my opinion that the conveyance to the Rands,which occurred within one (1)year of
the grant of the variance, "exercised"the rights authorized by the variance, in accordance with
the provisions of M.G.L. c. 40A, Sec. 10.
If you have any questions concerning this matter,please do not hesitate to call me.
Sincerely,
Ralph Crossen
Building Commissioner

Op 0 Background: - , •
CDa This petition was before the Board in Appeal No. 1992-17 which was granted in
® April 09, 1992. The transfer of one Tot out of the applicants name did not
occur in the one-year from the issuance of the Variance (May 15, 1992) .
The Background in support of the Decision. made on Appeal No. 1942 117' is'
repeated here in abreviated form (detail may be found in Decision and Notice
for Appeal No. 1992-17) :
,
1. Petitioner requested' that two adjoining lots, shown on the 1991 Assessors
Haps as Lots No. 335-012 and No. 335-011, each be considered separate
buildable lots. Both lots have been owned by the sollers and in accordance
r< r, with Section 4-4:5 of the Zoning ordinance are to be considered one for the
Mr" purpose of development. •
1,• O ,2% ' Situation was created by the fact that in 1977 the area was rezoned to RF-
Y ... 2 and a minimum lot area of 43,560 sq.ft. was required for the District
Q (*3 (previous lot minimum was 20, 000 sq.ft. ) . _Eight years elapsed from the time
COd of the zoning change, and in accordance with the Zoning ordinance are today
m considered one ( 1) for the purpose of development.
• 3. Lot area identified as No. 335-011 is developed with a single family home
that is the principal residence of the sollers. The' Sollers purchased two
lots recorded in April 1971 and identified as subdivision lot 0136 and 0135
(today Assessors Hap & Parcel No. 335-011 and No. 335-010 respectfully) . The
BP' :ORR:IR-01 :E3-11-1E 1 :42 # I bb2
Decision and Notice
Appeal No. 1993-56
expressed intent of the two lot purchase was to develop one lot as the Sollers
primary residents and to hold the second as a financial asset for their later
retirement.
4. In october 1975, the Sollers traded Lot No. 335-010 for Lot No. 335-012,
again an adjacent lot located south of the developed Lot No. 335-011. This
trade was made to accommodate neighbors and yet retain a lot for future
financial security. At this point in time both lots were developable.
5. In 1992 it became apparent to the Sollers that the additional lot they
intended to sell as part of their retirement needs has been united with the
adjacent developed lot, and both lots must be sold as one. The Sollers wish to
continue their retirement in a retirement community in order to assure care
and enjoyment. .The additional lot and its sales as a separate developable lot
would provide the economic means for them to realize this desire. The Norton &
Co. Realtors have estimated that the additional separate buildable lot may
increase the value of the property some $65,000.
6. The Board was provided with case reviews from the Planning Department and
the conservation Administrator. The Conservation Administrator was concerned
that the Sollers understood that the property being adjacent to Long Pond (in
Yarmouth) would still require Conservation approval of all development
activities within 100 feet of the fringe of the wetlands.
Procedural Summary:
The application for Appeal No. 1993-56 was filed in the office of the Town
Clerk and at the Zoning Board of Appeals on september 9, 1993, 2:53 PM. A
public hearing, duly noticed under MG1 chapter 40-A was held on October 14,
1993, heard, closed and a decision made. The petition was heard by Dexter
Bliss, Emmett Glynn, Ron Jansson, Gail Nightengale, and Chairman Richard Boy.
Four out of five of the present Board members sat on the original decision
where a Variance was granted.
After restating the history of actions leading to this request, Mr. Soller
presented his recent situation:
On April 9, five weeks prior to May 18, they entered into a Purchase and Sale
Agreement with Paul and Barbara Rand, who bought the house on Lot 136 - five
weeks before expiration of their Variance. on September 10, the Rand's
attorney questioned the status of the Variance on Lot 137. The petitioners had
failed to renew their Variance. The Rand's attorney, on the date of the
closing, said they could not close on the property till they had obtained a
neW variance, so the two attorneys constructed an escrow agreement, involving
note and mortgage. A down payment of $130, 000 made it possible for them to
remain at their condo at Heatherwood, as they were already moved in.
The escrow agreement provides that, in the event the Variance is not renewed,
: and the Rands decide to move out, the cost of moving is to be paid for by
petitioner.
Lot 137 has not been sold. The expenses incurred thus far have created
hardship upon hardship for the Sollers. Letters from neighbors in favor of

•
the petitioners were submitted by Mrs. Sailer: Mr. Sollet went on to say that
he knows they had no defense in not being aware .of the zoning change and in
neglecting to renew their Variance. His only excuse was being too wrapped up
in the business of selling and moving to Heatherwood.
•
Warren Hallen, a neighbor of the Sollers, spoke in favor of the petitioner as
he bought his property in good faith.
Barbara Maslin, Lot 135, spoke in favor. Sean Sheen, an abuttor, spoke in
favor, providing the vacant lot would not be subdivided further. He was told
not to worry about that, that was the Board's responsibility.
Chairman Boy asked if there was anyone present who felt the petition should
not be granted. No one responded.
•
Ms.Nightingale read aloud names of all who wrote letters in favor, and they
were put into the file (copies in ZBA File, Appeal No 1993-56) .
Finding of Fact:
Mr. Jansson spoke and said that they would be adopting, for the most part,
findinds made on April 9, 1992. In particular, he would find:
1. That due to topographical conditions which is one of the conditions
in 40A, Section 10, that the lot is unique and topography of the lot does
create the hardship , lot location and its slope down to the pond and also
abuttor's lawn create a unique lot in the area;
2. That because of that unique topographical condition, there is. no
possible area from which to acquire additional land to bring the lot into
conformity with current Zoning Bylaw. The two lots, themselves, each, if
further subdivided, are the same size as other lots around which have been
develope; .
3. That denying the petitioner the relief sought would impose a severe
financial hardship, in view of the fact they had purchased the lot and
intended to remain in separate ownership-for investment purposes and came
before this Board in April, 1992 as evidence -of their good faith to. get a
Variance when the Variance was required;
4. That the 1992 request for a Variance was granted by the Board, and
the petitioners, relying on that variance, entered into Purchase and Sale
Agreement to sell their house, which they are now bound by;
5. That the Board did grant a Variance back on April 9, 1992, and the
conditions for which they granted a variance have not changed.
Vote on findings: .
Aye: Ms . Nightingale, Mr. Bliss, Mr. Glynn, Mr. Jansson and Chairman Mr. Boy.
Nay: None.
Conclusion:
Accordingly, a motion was duly made and seconded that based upon the findings
Appeal No 1992-56 for a Variance to the Minimum Lot Area requirements be
granted to Lots No. 335-011 6 No. 335-012 subject to the following terms and
conditions:
3
ecision ,and Notice BP IJocl:�6-1 11 .:�;-11-1��- 1 470662
appeal No. 1993-56'
1. That the lot that is unbuilt upon, Lot 012, Map '335, not be further
subdivided.
2. This decision dose not grant relief from the petioners
responsibility to obtain any relief from nor supersede the authority
of the Town of Yarmouth, where portions of the land is located, if,
in fact, that--is warrented.
3. The fact that this Variance is granted to their lots does not
preclude, or otherwise exonerate the petioner from obtaining any
order of conditions from the Barnstable Conservation Commission and
any site improvements in Lot No. 335-012 as a result of the wetland
areas located on the locus.
The vote was as follows:
Aye: Mr. Bliss, Mr. Glynn, Mr. Jansson, Ms Nightingale, and Richard Boy,
Chairman
Nay: None
Order:
The petition for a Variance to the Minimum Lot Area requirements has been
granted to Lots No. 335-011 and No. 335-012 subject to the conditions
•
enumerated. Appeals of this decisions, if any, shall be made pursuant to MGL
Chapter 40A, Section 17, and shall be filed within Twenty (20) days after the
date of the filing of this decision in the office of the Town Clerk.
The applicant is reminded that this Variance should be recorded with the. Title
to both Lots No. 335-011 and No. 335-012. This Variance will expire in one
year if not implemented.

RE: Assessor's Map/Parcel Nos. 355/11 and 355/12
Dear Mr. and Mrs. Soller:
At the request of your attorney, Albert J. Schulz, I am writing to you concerning the
above captioned premises, which is a vacant parcel of land that is presently under agreement to
be sold. This parcel, and the abutting parcel, were the subject of several variances issued by the
Town of Barnstable Zoning Board of Appeals. I have reviewed the variance issued by the
Zoning Board of Appeals in Appeal No. 1993-56, which has been recorded in Book 8896, Page
121 and the deed from you to Paul and Barbara Rand recorded in Book 8896, Page 244. Based
on my review of the variance and deed, which one of the lots that was the subject of the variance,
I am prepared to issue a building permit to you or any subsequent purchase of the vacant parcel.
It is my opinion that the conveyance to the Rands, which occurred within one (1) year of
the grant of the variance, "exercised"the rights authorized by the variance, in accordance with
the provisions of M.G.L. c. 40A, Sec. 10.
If you have any questions concerning this matter, please do not hesitate to call me.
Sincerely,
Ralph Crossen

Op 0Background: , •
m a This petition was before the Board in Appeal No. 1992-17 which was granted in
April 09, 1992. The transfer of one Tot out of the applicants name did not
a, occur in the one-year from the issuance of the Variance (Hay 15, 1992) .
•
The Background in support of the Decision. made on Appeal No. 1992-17 is,
repeated here in abreviated form (detail may be found in Decision and Notice
for Appeal No. 1992-17) :
1. Petitioner requested that two adjoining lots, shown on the 1991 Assessors
Haps as Lots No. 335-012 and No. 335-011, each be considered separate
buildable lots. Both lots have been owned by the sollers and in accordance
f'< with Section 4-4 :5 of the Zoning Ordinance are to be considered one for the
tR C4 purpose of development.
0 ,2. ' situation was created by the fact that in 1977 the area was rezoned to RF-
hd w 2 and a minimum lot area of 43,560 sq.ft. was required for the District
(previous lot minimum was 20, 000 sq.ft. ) . .Eight yearn elapsed from the time
m a of the zoning change, and in accordance with the zoning ordinance are today
® considered one ( 1) for the purpose of development.
- 3 . Lot area identified as No. 335-011 is developed with a single family home
that is the principal residence of the sollers. The sollers purchased two
M lots recorded in April 1971 and identified as subdivision lot $136 and *135
( today assessors Hap L Parcel No. 335-011 and No. 335-010 respectfully) . The
_ (�

Decision and Notice
Appeal No. 1993-56
expressed intent of the two lot purchase was to develop orie lot as the Sollers
primary residents and to hold the second as a financial asset for their later
retirement.
4. In October 1975, the Sollers traded Lot No. 335-010 for Lot No. 335-012,
again an adjacent lot located south of the developed Lot No. 335-011. This
trade was made to accommodate neighbors and yet retain a lot for future
financial security. At this point in time both lots were developable.
•
5. In 1992 it became apparent to the Sollers that the additional lot they
intended to sell as part of their retirement needs has been united with the
adjacent developed lot, and both lots must be sold as one. The Sollers wish to
continue their retirement in a retirement community in order to assure care
and enjoyment. .The additional lot and its sales as a separate developable lot
would provide the economic means for them to realize this desire. The Norton &
Co. Realtors have estimated that the additional separate buildable lot may
increase the value of the property some $65,000.
6. The Board was provided with case reviews from the Planning Department and
the Conservation Administrator. The Conservation Administrator was concerned
that the Sollers understood that the property being adjacent to Long Pond (in
Yarmouth) would still require Conservation approval of all development
activities within 100 feet of the fringe of the wetlands.
Procedural Summaryt
The application for Appeal No. 1993-56 was filed in the office of the Town
clerk and at the Zoning Board of Appeals on September 9, 1993, 2:53 PM. A
public hearing, duly noticed under MG1 chapter 40-A was held on October 14,
1993, heard, closed and a decision made. The petition was heard by Dexter
Bliss, Emmett Glynn, Ron Jansson, Gail Nightengale, and Chairman Richard Boy.
Four out of five of the present Board members sat on the original decision
where a Variance was granted. •
After restating the history of actions leading to this request, Mr. soller
presented his recent situation:
on April 9, five weeks prior to May 18, they entered into a Purchase and Sale
Agreement with Paul and Barbara Rand, who bought the house on Lot 136 - five
weeks before expiration of their Variance. on September 10, the Rand's
attorney questioned the status of the Variance on Lot 137. The petitioners had
failed to renew their Variance. The Rand's attorney, on the date of the
closing, said they could not close on the property till they had obtained a
new variance, so the two attorneys constructed an escrow agreement, involving
note and- mortgage. A down payment of $130, 000 made it possible for them to
remain at their condo at Heatherwood, as they were already moved in.
The escrow agreement provides that, in the event the Variance is not renewed,
and the Rands decide to move out, the cost of moving is to be paid for by
petitioner.
Lot 137 has not been sold. The expenses incurred thus far have created
hardship upon hardship for the Sollers . Letters from neighbors in favor of
• ecision and :Notice
appeal No. 1993-56
BP :Occ:IR-0123 93-11-18 1 :42 #7i662
' • the petitioners were stihmitted by Mrs. Soller. Mr. Soller went on to say that
he knows they had no defense in not being aware .of the zoning change and in
neglecting to renew their Variance. His only excuse was being too wrapped up
in the business of selling and moving to Heatherwood.
Warren Hallen, a neighbor of the Sollers, spoke in favor of the petitioner as
he bought his property in good faith.
Barbara Maslin, Lot 135, spoke in favor. Sean Sheen, an abuttor, spoke in
favor, providing the vacant lot would not be subdivided further. He was told
not to worry about that, that was the Board's responsibility.
chairman Boy asked if there was anyone present who felt the petition should
not be granted. No one responded.
Ms.Nightingale read aloud names of all who wrote letters in favor, and they
were put into the file (copies in ZBA File, Appeal No 1993-56) .
Finding of Fact:
Mr. Jansson spoke and said that they would be adopting, for the most part,
findinds made on April 9, 1992. In particular, he would find:
1. That due to topographical conditions which is one of the conditions
in 40A, Section 10, that the lot is unique and topography of the lot does
create the hardship , lot location and its slope down to the pond and also
abuttor's lawn create a unique lot in the area;
2. That because of that unique topographical condition, there is no
possible area from which to acquire additional land to bring the lot into
conformity with current Zoning Bylaw. The two lots, themselves, each, if
further subdivided, are the same size as other lots around which have been
developer .
3. That denying the petitioner the relief sought would impose a severe
financial hardship, in view of the fact they had purchased the lot and
intended to remain in separate ownership ••for investment purposes and came
before this Board in April, 1992 as evidence .of their good faith to. get a
Variance when the Variance was required;
4. That the 1992 request for a variance was granted by the Board, and
the petitioners, relying on that Variance, entered into Purchase and Sale
Agreement to sell their house, which they are now bound by;
5. That the Board did grant a Variance back on April 9, 1992, and the
conditions for which they granted a Variance have not changed.
Vote on findings:
Aye: Ms . Nightingale, Mr. Bliss, Mr. Glynn, Mr. Jansson and Chairman Mr. Boy.
Nay: None .
Conclusion:
Accordingly, a motion was duly made and seconded that based upon the findings
Appeal No 1992-56 for a Variance to the Minimum Lot Area requirements be
granted to Lots No. 335-011 & No. 335-012 subject to the following terms and
conditions :

.ecision•and Notice EIF' ;I� [I: 17-!I 1 J .'� -1 1-1 1 T(I IF;�i'
,ppeal No. 1993-56'
1. That the lot that is unbuilt upon, Lot 012, Map '335, not be further
subdivided.
2. This decision dose not grant relief from the petioners
responsibility to obtain any relief from nor supersede the authority
of the Town of Yarmouth, where portions of the land is located, if,
in fact, that-.is warrented.
3. The fact that this Variance is granted to their lots does not
preclude, or otherwise exonerate the petioner from obtaining any
order of conditions from the Barnstable Conservation Commission and
any site improvements in Lot No. 335-012 as. a result of the wetland
areas located on the locus.
The vote was as follows:
Aye: Mr. Bliss, Mr. Glynn, Mr. Jansson, Ms Nightingale, and Richard Boy,
Chairman
Nay: None
Order:
The petition for a Variance to the Minimum Lot Area requirements has been
granted to Lots No. 335-011 and No. 335-012 subject to the conditions
enumerated. Appeals of this decisions, if any, shall be made pursuant to MGL
Chapter 40A, Section 17, and shall be filed within Twenty (20) days after the
date of the filing of this decision in the office of the Town Clerk.
The applicant is reminded that this Variance should be recorded with the- Title
to both Lots No. 335-011 and No. 335-012. This Variance will expire in one
year if not implemented.

Activity Request: To permit the existence of two (2) undersize
lots, shown as Assessors Map & Lot Numbers
335/012 and 335/011, and to permit the
undeveloped lot #335/012 to be considered
buildable.
Procedural Provisions: Section 5-3.2 (3) Variances
Background:
This decision concerns the petition submitted by William & Barbara Soller
requesting that two adjoining lots, shown on the 1991 Assessors Maps as Lots
No. 335-012 and No. 335-011, each be considered separate buildable lots. Both
lots have been owned by the Sollers and in accordance with Section 4-4.5 of
the zoning Ordinance are to be considered one for the purpose of development.
This situation was created by the fact that in 1977 the area was rezoned to
RF-2 and a minimum lot area of 43,560 sq.ft. was required for the District
(previous lot minimum was 20,000 sq.ft.) . The two lots were held in common
. ownership and are adjoining and within the same zoning district. Eight years
have elapse from the time of the zoning change and in accordance with the
Zoning Ordinance are today considered one (1) for the purpose of development.
Lot area identified as No. 335-011 is developed with a single family home that
is the principal residence of the sollers. The history of this situation
dates to 1969 and the creation of the Subdivision entitled "subdivision Plan
of Land in Barnstable and Yarmouth for Cummaquid Realty Trust", filed May 15,
1969 with the Barnstable County Register of Deeds. This plan encompassed
lands located both within the towns of Barnstable and Yarmouth, MA. The
Sollers purchased two lots recorded in April 1971 and identified as
subdivision lot #136 and #135 (today Assessors Map & Parcel No. 335-011 and
No. 335-010 respectfully) . The expressed intent of the two lot purchase was
to develop one lot as the Sollers primary residents and to hold the second as
a financial asset for their later retirement.
Deisioa and Notice
Appeal No. 1992-17
In October 1975, the Sollers traded Lot No. 335-010 for Lot No. 335-012, again
an adjacent lot located south of the developed Lot No. 335-011. This trade
was made to accommodate neighbors and yet retain a lot for future financial
security. At this point in time both lots were developable.
A 1977 Zoning Amendment created the RF-2 District and set the minimum lot area
for the District at one (1) acre. In accordance with the Zoning Ordinance, in
those cases were existing lots under common ownership were adjoining, eight
additional years are granted before those lots would be united and considered
as one for development purposes. In 1992 it became apparent to the Sollers
that the additional lot they intended to sell as part of their retirement
needs has been united with the adjacent developed lot, and both lots must be
sold as one. The sollers wish to continue their retirement in a retirement
community in order to assure care and enjoyment. The additional lot and its
sales as a separate developable lot would provide the economic means for the
Sollers to realize this desire.
From information submitted, the Norton & Co. Realtors have estimated that the
additional separate buildable lot may increase the value of the property some
$65,000.
Procedural Summary:
The application was filed in the office of the Town Clerk and at the Zoning
Board of Appeals office on March 23, 1992. A public hearing, duly noticed
under MGL Chapter 40-A was held on April 09, 1992 at the School Administration
Building and closed on that day. The petition was heard by Board Members;
Richard Boy, Ron Jansson, Gail Nightingale, Gene Burman and Dexter Bliss,
Chairman.
William & Barbara Soller represented themselves before the Board and presented
their case. Mr. Soller gave the history behind the purchase and trade of the
lots. He also presented copies to the file of relevant materials including;
1. copy of the April 01, 1971 deed, which acquired lot No. 335-011,
2. copy of the April 02, 1971 deed which acquired lot No. 335-010,
3. copy of the Oct 06, 1975 deed, documenting the transfer of Lot No.
335-012 to the Sollers for compensation of parcel No. 335-010,
4. ' the Norton March 11, 1992 letter estimating the value of the
property, and
5. letters from Helena A Earls, Helen .& Warren Allan, Steve Britton,
and Thomas F. O'Keefe, Jr. neighboring property owners supporting
this request for this Variance
It is important to note that the lots involved in this case are located partly
within both the towns of Barnstable and Yarmouth, MA. Mr. Soller stated that
the real estate taxes for the assessed improvements on the lot (his house) are
only paid to the Town of Barnstable even though part of the house is in
Yarmouth. Taxes on the assessed land value are paid to both towns. ,
All the other lots in the neighborhood are less than one acre and are
developed. Mr. Soller further explained it would be a financial hardship if
the lot could not be sold separately.
Decisidh and Notice
Appeal No. 1992-17
Barbara Maslin and Dorthea Fricke, abutters, spoke in favor of the petition
and no one spoke in opposition of this petition. Chairman Bliss read into the
record letters from the four abutters delivered to the Board and supporting
the granting of this Variance.
The Board was also provided with case reviews from the Planning Department and
the Conservation Administrator. The Conservation Administrator was concerned
that the Sollers understood that the property being adjacent to Long Pond (in
Yarmouth) would still require conservation approval of all development
activities within 100 feet of the fringe of the wetlands.
After reviewing the information, the Board became concerned about the
jurisdiction over this parcel, given that the Town Line runs directly across
the parcels involved. For Lot No. 335-012, 0.41 acres lies within Barnstable
and 0.39 lies within the Town of Yarmouth. For Lot No. 335-011, the developed
lot, 0.30 acres lies in Barnstable and 0.44 acres lies within Yarmouth. It
was noted that access and frontage to the lot is from Augusta National Drive,
which is solely within the Town of Barnstable and that the subdivision which
created this lot was approved by the Town of Barnstable Planning Board.
Finding of Fact:
Based upon the evidence submitted and testimony given, at the meeting of April
09, 1992, the Zoning Board of Appeals unanimously finds, as follows:
1. The petitioner initially acquired two lots of land during 1971, but
one of the lots in issue today was subsequently acquired in separate
transaction in 1975. Since 1975, both lots has been assessed
separately.
2. All the remaining lots in this area of the Town have been built upon
and are all basically of the same size and dimensions of the lots in
issue.
3. The Requirements of Section 5-3.2 (3) to permit a variance have been
met in that:
a. The sites topography, lot location and extent of development,
creates a unique situation. Lot No. 335-012 is the only lot
not built upon within the neighborhood, it has sloping
topography to the pond, is abutted by developed property, a
public way and Long Pond itself.
b. The lots have no possible area from which to acquire additional
land to bring it into greater conformity. The two lots
combined (No. 335-012 and No. 335-011) would create a lot area
of 1.54 acres, and would constitute the largest residential lot
within the subdivision. This situation is unique to these two
lots and does not affect the Zoning District.
c. A real financial hardship has been established in the fact that
the denial of the relief could represent a loss of $65,000 to
the petitioners.
d. Allowing lot No. 335-012 to be a utilized as separate buildable
