ANRs for Chequessett Yacht & Country Club
There were two ANRs for the Chequessett Yacht & Country Club (CYCC). ANR #12-05, 2 presented to the Planning Board on April 4, 2012, was referred to the Cape Cod Commission for findings. ANR #12-063 makes provisions for three small unbuildable lots to be separated from the main lot (Map 19, Parcel 81) and be held in conservation in accordance with the Cape Cod Commission’s directives.

Samoset/Hiawatha Rd. Addresses
Mary Lou Wood from the Wellfleet Fire Department explained the request for renaming a portion of Samoset Rd. to Hiawatha Rd. so that four homes that are accessed from Hiawatha Rd. reflect their physical location. The four addresses are: 5 Samoset to be reassigned as 125 Hiawatha; 10 Samoset to become 130 Hiawatha; 11 Samoset to become 135 Hiawatha and 21 Samoset to be 145 Hiawatha. Map and Parcel numbers remain the same for the new addresses: 125 Hiawatha (28-186); 130 Hiawatha (28-183); 11 Samoset (28-185) and 145 Hiawatha (28-184). The abutters are signing off on the notifications forms. Planning Board determined that a public hearing will need to be held to make the changes of address. The Planning Board would also like to find out what other towns do about renumbering for 911 purposes. The
new Fire Chief may have a preference for how the numbering should be done in this case and for other situations throughout Town. The Town Administrator could also state his preference for handling the 911 numbering.
Planning Board will make a site visit to Hiawatha and Samoset Roads. Before there is a hearing, the Fire Department will study the situation again.
