living Safe, convenient, manageable and affordable homes

Project Site7.75 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

Project SiteHealthy dune system, jetties and elevations

offer significant flood protection.

Project SiteBeachfront 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

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

Seasonal Resort Community BylawIntroduced 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.

Seasonal Resort Community BylawSeasonal 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

Seasonal Resort Community BylawCurrent 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

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

Remaining Non-Zoning ApprovalsDennis 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
