I already knew the Select Board recently appealed this decision, but learned the Seashore has done so as well. McMansionization will be the subject of the next Forum meeting, Mary said.

Spring Visit to Town Hall
As spring has sprung, I decided to head down to town hall for a quick update on the latest buzz. I found Assistant Committee Secretary Mary Rogers at her desk, busy typing minutes, a job that was mine for two years. I asked what’s on folks’ minds. “Amnesty Day, of course!” she said. “And, town meeting.” Both events will take place in April. Mary also told me the Planning Board is collaborating with the National Seashore on reworking Wellfleet's zoning bylaws. I found town collector Marianne Nickerson getting ready to mail out tax bills. Assessor Nancy Vail told me values are staying flat but taxes are on the rise.
