Old Kings Highway Historic District Committee 7-8-2026

The Barnstable Old Kings Highway Historic District Committee held a remote meeting on July 8, 2026, to review applications related to property modifications within the historic district. The committee discussed a proposal by Rebecca Horn to construct a detached residential accessory garage and accessory dwelling unit (ADU) at 101 Mashop Avenue. The applicant presented revised plans reducing the structure's size and height, but committee members and public commenters expressed concerns about the building's proximity to the road, visual impact, and site grading. After deliberation, the committee voted to disapprove the certificate of appropriateness for the project as submitted. The meeting also included approval of a demolition application for a 1979 dwelling at 25 Harbor View Road, followed by discussion and acceptance of plans to construct a new single-family home on that site. The committee approved meeting minutes from June 10, 2026, and adjourned the session. No specific contract awards or procurement actions were discussed during this meeting.
