RE;-Request for Zoning Enforcement
Request for Zoning Enforcement Pursuant to Mass General Laws Chapter 40A
Sections 7.8.and 15
Dear Mr.Florence:
I hope this email finds you well. This office represents 25 Falmouth Road LLC,who is
also the owner of the property located at 25 Falmouth Road in Hyannis MA. We have been
asked to submit a Zoning Enforcement request on their behalf for the operations currently
taking place at 95 & 123 Falmouth Road & 180 &172 Walton Ave (shown on the map
below), which all appear to be part of an automotive use and storage type operation.
As you are aware, our office previously reached out to Maggie Flynn,who was only able
to locate a 2017 SPR approval letter,which does not include either of the lots on Walton
Ave.In looking at the Town GIS maps (attached),most of 172 Walton,a small comer of
180 Walton and about 1/3 of 95 Falmouth Road are located in the RB,with the remaining
portion of 95 Falmouth,123 Falmouth & 80 Walton being located in the HB. The sites ai'e
also entirely located within the GP.
I also checked witii Anna Brigham and she did not find any ZBA files for any of these lots.
Where this has split zoning with the HB & RB, ZBA relief may have been needed,
especially if any expansion in either the HB & the RB was to take place.
Section 240.11 sets fortli the Residential Districts which includes the RB.Under this
section,automobile type uses would not be permitted.See attached relevant sections from
240.11 showing all pennitted,accessory and conditional uses allowed in this district).
Section 240.25 -HB Business District sets forth the zoning and allowed uses for this
district.Automobile type uses are not a permitted use in this district.Auto Service and
Repair is allowed as a conditional use in the HB District,provided that a special permit is
first obtained from the Zoning Board of Appeals subject to the provisions of §240-125C.
Section 240-35 -Ground Water Protection Overlay Districts,is also applicable here
where the subject pai'cels are all located entirely within the GP District.Section 240.35
F.(2)(m) prohibits Boat, motor vehicle and aircraft cleaning, service and repair within the
overlay district.
I have attached an arial photo showing all tliesc areas, including those in the RB, currently
cleared and being used for parking and storage (see attached below).
