 Safe, convenient, manageable and affordable homes

3. A Cottage Revival

Appeal to single, professional females and empty
nesters

12. Project Site
 7.75 contiguous acres on Old Wharf Road
 Located mid-Cape in Village of Dennisport
 Exit 9A off of Route 6 (80 miles and 90 minutes from Boston)
 Historically operated as “Grindell’s” RV Park since the 1930’s
 Proximity to Cape Cod Rail Trail, Haigis Beach and Swan Pond River

15. Project Site
Healthy dune system, jetties and elevations offer
significant flood protection.

16. Project Site
Beachfront includes a pre-1978* mortared stone
revetment extending the entire length of the property
Boulder and Mortar Revetment
* “Grandfathered” revetment may be maintained and repaired because it pre-dates Mass. Wetlands Protection Act

17. Seasonal Resort Community Bylaw
 Prior to adoption of the SRC cottages and RV parks had been pre-
existing non-conforming structures and uses under applicable zoning
 A working group of property owners, Town officials, business owners,
and neighborhood residents met weekly throughout Summer 2010
 For 80 years seasonal residents have been a vital part of the local
economy
 The objective was to preserve neighborhood character and secure the
continued viability of cottage communities for the next 100 years by
allowing for redevelopment and renovation of existing properties

18. Seasonal Resort Community Bylaw
 Introduced by the Economic Development Committee
 Unanimously Approved by the Economic Development
Committee, Zoning Bylaw Study Committee, Planning Board,
Finance Committee, and Board of Selectmen
 Adopted at Special Town Meeting by a vote of 230-2.

19. Seasonal Resort Community Bylaw
 Seasonal units (cottages and RV sites) already in existence
as of September 5, 2010 were deemed “lawfully
conforming”
 Allows expansion and/or redevelopment of units within
dimensional limits.
 900 s.f. footprint
 1 ½ stories
 25’ height
 10’ separation between structures

20. Seasonal Resort Community Bylaw
 Current occupancy limitation of 4 days per month
November 1 – March 31
 Precludes Winter and Spring school vacation stays
 Limits weekend stays
 Limits local spending
 Raises concerns with prospective owners
 Allowing up to 10 days occupancy per month in “off season”
 Would expand “seasonal” spending in local economy
 Would provide enhanced neighborhood security

21. Remaining Non-Zoning Approvals
 Cape Cod Commission
 March 15, 2011 Commission staff issued jurisdictional waiver
(concluding no net regional impacts)
 Mass. Dept. of Environmental Protection
 Approval of final Title V design
 Because flow is under 15,000 g.p.d. no groundwater discharge permit
required, and no active operation and maintenance
 MassDEP has already approved 50% reduction in leaching field design
(as “remedial” project) and use of Alternative/Innovative Technologies

22. Remaining Non-Zoning Approvals
 Dennis Conservation Commission
 Notice of Intent will be submitted for approval as soon as Title V
septic design is finalized
 Site plan and construction strategy have been designed to fully comply with
wetlands performance standards
