RE: Request to lift Suspension of Building Permit BLDR -23-780
Dear Commissioner Florence,
In response to the Notice of Suspension of the above referenced Building Permit issued by
your office, dated March 25,2024 (copy attached), the applicant caused a new ANR plan
to be prepared and filed with the Planning Board which ANR adjusted the common lot line
between Parcels A and B, so that both parcels now meet the provision of Section 240-l D
of the Zoning Ordinance regarding lot shape. A copy of the new ANR plan was endorsed
by the Planning Board and has been recorded in the Barnstable County Registry of Deeds
in Plan Book 705 Page 96 (Copy of the new recorded ANR Plan and the Planning Board
Decision are attached).
Accordingly, on behalf of the Applicant, I request the Suspension of the Building Permit
be lifted.
As you are aware the Building Permit is under appeal to the Zoning Board of Appeals
(ZBL),pending as Appeal No. 2023-042,and is scheduled for hearingonTl24.The
Appellants have raised the additional claims in their appeal;
(1) That Parcel A violates the area requirement because the area of Parcel A covered by
the20 foot wide right of way shown on ANR plan which connects the two 40 foot
wide sections of Windswept Way, has be utilized to meet the lot area requirement.
Our position is that the right of way is not a street within the meaning of the
Ordinance. Accordingly, there is no prohibition on including the area of the right of
way when computing lot area for Parcel A.
(2) That neither Parcel A or Parcel B have legal frontage because they are not taking there
physical access off of Sunset Point where their linear frontage exists. Our position is
that Barnstable Zoning Ordinance requires that you have legal and potential physical
access from the street where your linear frontage exists but does not require that the
constructed physical access to the lot(s) be from that street.
I would ask that you address these two issues when you lift the Suspension of the Building
Permit. Please advise if you need anything further to take the requested actions.

Very Truly Yours,
