Request & Background:
The owner and applicant, Great Marsh LLC of 1049 Main Street, West Barnstable have requested a release
of covenant for a lot within subdivision number 247. The specific request is to release the covenant of lot

from covenant, the applicant shall file with the Planning Board for review at a regularly scheduled public
meeting.

no known outstanding subdivision issues as it pertains to this lot that would result in the denial of a
release of covenant.
