Hyannis, Massachusetts” prepared by Atlantic Design Engineers, Inc., dated September 29, 2023, has been
submitted to the Board for endorsement as an Approval Not Required (ANR) plan.

Background & Proposal
The subject property is located within the Business District. Within the Business District there is no

▪ Map 344, Lot 76-001: is an improved parcel of land that is proposed to have a lot area of
199,487.84 square feet of lot area and 642.03 linear feet of frontage on Yarmouth Road.
▪ Map 345, Lot 029: is an improved parcel of land that is proposed to have a lot area of 92,094.69
square feet of lot area and 400.91 linear feet of frontage on Yarmouth Road.
As proposed, the adjustment to the center line between Map 344, Lot 76-001and Map 345, Lot 029 meet
the minimum lot area and also meet the minimum frontage of 20 feet.
As proposed, both Map 344, Lot 76-001and Map 345, Lot 029 are currently accessed by an existing paved
public way.
Procedure
§ 801-21 Board actions.
The Board shall, within 21 days from the date of submission, at a meeting, either endorse the plan as one
not requiring its approval under the Subdivision Control Law, or find that said plan requires the Board's
approval as a subdivision. The Town Clerk shall be notified of the Board's decision in writing. If the Board
2
determines that the plan requires its approval as a subdivision, the applicant shall be notified by certified
mail.
Findings
The plan as submitted qualifies as an Approval Not Required plan and it should be endorsed by the Board
as:
▪ It does not constitute a subdivision because each of the lots have the minimum required frontage
on an existing way having suitable grades, and adequate construction to provide for the needs of
vehicular traffic in relation to the proposed use and for the installation of municipal services to
serve such use; and
▪ All materials and conditions of Chapter 801, Article IV Approval Not Required Plans, have been
submitted and are in full compliance.
If the Board agrees, a motion should be formulated to:
Endorse the entitled “Approval Not Required Plan for Premier Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram, Hyannis,
Massachusetts” prepared by Atlantic Design Engineers, Inc., dated September 29, 2023, as an Approval Not
Required (ANR) plan.
