I regret that it has taken me so long to reach out to you but you left me very little contact information. I was only able to find your email address after searching our archives in order to respond. Please be advised that after a careful review of your request for enforcement and a subsequent investigation I have found your request to be without merit and in some instances irrelevant to zoning. For example, retail services are in fact available at the location and zoning does not regulate pricing. Therefore, no action will be taken with regard to your request. If you believe that you have been aggrieved by this determination, you may file an appeal with the Town Clerk of Barnstable, and the Town Planner specifying the ground thereof within thirty (30)days of the receipt of this notice (in accordance with Chapter 40A Section 15 of the Massachusetts General Laws). If you have any questions regarding this notice please feel free to call me. ` Brian-Florence _--� �.-- � � K ,, /�` �" ' i 7900 Legacy Drive Plano,Texas 75024 Fec[Ei., LEGAL DEPARTMENT Office February 28 2019 � 0 i Mr. Brian Florence, Building Commissioner Via FedEx and Email O Building Department as Town of Barnstable 200 Main Street c�ir Hyannis, MA 02601 C7 W Re: Mr. William Kuntz, III's email dated February 20, 2018 to the Town of Barnstable pertaining to FEDEX OFFICE AND PRINT SERVICES, INC.'s ("FedEx Office") .premises located at 297 North Street, Hyannis, MA; Store#0386. Dear Mr. Florence: FedEx Office has received a copy of the above-referenced email, which alleges non-conforming use violations at FedEx Office's store located at 297 North Street, Hyannis, MA 02601. As you may know, for more than 20 years, FedEx Office has operated a technical and business support service center selling goods and services to the public, while striving to provide an outstanding experience for our FedEx customers. All of the services and goods that FedEx Office provides or offers comport with applicable zoning and use ordinances and laws, including, but not limited to, OM District zoning ordinance Article III § 240-24.1.6.A(1)(a), (d), (e), and (i). While we are confident FedEx Office has not knowingly violated any laws or ordinances, please advise whether you need additional information to resolve this matter. We hope this letter clarifies the issue for the Building Department for the Town of Barnstable. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you require any additional information or we can be of further assistance.

Sir/Madam: So it looks like Mr.Bornstien put yet another one past the town. Having a minor dispute with Fedex growing like bamboo, I considered the Tenenacy of the Fedex Company. Under the OM use,publishing and printing establishments are permitted. However,Fedex offices does duplicating or copy services and binding plus photo Enlargement etc.While they offer Fedex Branded containers they don't offer Delivery services,but at best will call pickup. The majority of the business seems to be a remote terminal for Fedex Ground and Airbonre with outbound service only.In addition, it appears that the Retail use is a sham,prices are even more that Staples and up to 5 times more than Ocean State Job Lot and occupy more than the 1,500 sq feet allowed. May I suggest that you suspend the occupancy permit asap and following review revoke it. Further that Mr.Bornstien disgourge the past rents to the Town and impose further sanctions including,removal of Fedex from that Location.

DEFINTTION OF HOMEOWNER Person(s)who owns a parcel of land on which he/she resides or intends to reside,on which there is,or is intended to be,a one or two- family dwelling,attached or detached structures accessory to such use and/or farm structures. A person who constructs more than one home in a two-year period shall not be considered a homeowner. Such"homeowner"shall submit to the Building Official on a form acceptable to the Building Official,that he/she shall be responsible for all such work Rerformed under the building permit. (Section 109.1.1) The undersigned"homeowner"assumes responsibility for compliance with the State Building Code and other applicable codes, bylaws,rules and regulations. The undersigned"homeowner"certifies that he/she understands the Town of Barnstable Building Department minimum inspection procedures and requirements and that he/she will comply with said procedures and requirements. Signature of Homeowner Approval of Building Official Note: Three-family dwellings containing 35,000 cubic feet or larger will be required to comply with the State Building Code Section 127.0 Construction Control. HOMEOWNER'S EXEMPTION The Code states that: "Any homeowner performing work for which a building permit is required shall be exempt from the provisions of this section(Section 109.1.1-Licensing of construction Supervisors);provided that if the homeowner engages a persons)for hire to do such work,that such Homeowner shall act as supervisor." Many homeowners who use this exemption are unaware that they are assuming the responsibilities of a supervisor (see Appendix Q,Rules&Regulations for Licensing Construction Supervisors,Section 2i.15) This lack of awareness often results in serious problems, particularly when the homeowner hires unlicensed persons. In this case,our Board cannot proceed against the unlicensed personas it would with a licensed Supervisor. The homeowner acting as Supervisor is ultimately responsible. To ensure that the homeowner is fully aware of his/her responsibilities,many communities require,as part of the permit application,that the homeowner certify that he/she understands the responsibilities of a Supervisor. On the last page this issue is a form currently used by several towns. You may care to amend and adopt such a form/certification for use in your community.
