A Cottage RevivalThe Wall Street Journal, New York Times and
Forbes Magazine have heralded the Cottage as the “anti-McMansion” of the post-bubble real estate market
“Pocket Neighborhoods” epitomize principles of New Urbanism and Smart Growth:
Increased densities and efficient land use Common areas that foster traditional neighborhood
living Safe, convenient, manageable and affordable homes
A Cottage RevivalIn the Primary Home Market:
Appeal to single, professional females and empty nesters
Proven success in Pacific Northwest “Cottage Zoning”
Salish Pond Cottages, ORDanielson Grove, WA
Third Street Cottage, WA

Local examples: Concord Riverwalk, Concord, MA (75% sold pre-
const.) Cottages on Greene, East Greenwich, RI (100%
sold)

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
