April 5 - Town of Falmouth

MS. MOYNIHAN: Thank you, Mr. Moderator and Town
Meeting Members. For the record, I’m Laura Moynihan; I am a resident
and a taxpayer of the town. I represent Mr. Minasian who’s the property
owner in question, here. This property is 28 Nathan Ellis Highway. It’s in
very close proximity to the County Road, Route 28A intersection, across
the street from the Beach House restaurant, which many of you are likely
familiar with; near the House of Pizza, Silver Square, that commercial area
of North Falmouth. It’s currently zoned Residential. My client is requesting
the rezoning in this case so that he can use the building that’s partially
constructed on the property. I would say substantially completed at this
point for a medical office, business office, or medical clinic. He has
voluntarily agreed to restrict the use of the property to those uses: medical
offices, professional offices, business offices – excuse me, medical clinics.
That’s been submitted to the Town.
So, if Town Meeting is in favor of the B3 zoning tonight, then
the commercial uses on the property would be limited to those uses only.
Again: professional offices, business offices or medical clinics. That’s a
voluntary restriction.
Here, the zoning is very appropriate for the neighborhood, I
would submit. The property is identified up here on the slide with the
hashmarks. The white property adjacent to it is the parking lot for the
Beach House restaurant. So that property has an existing commercial
