COURT CLERK—Leon L. Dary, Jr. of Ilarnstanle , former executive director of the GOP State Commit- tee yesterday was named clerk of Barnstable 2nd District Court to succeed John R. Agna in the $12,464 post. Stating that there were condi- tions affecting a parcel of land at 66 Sea Street , Hyannis which did not affect the zoning district gen- erally, Barnstable Appeals Board this week approved a variance for a 15-unit apartment building at that location. Robert Nye , petitioner at the March 31 hearing before Chair - man Robert E. O'Neil , Buford Ooins and William B. Shaw, sou- ght to vary Section M of the zon- ing code to permit construction of three more units than permitted and to reduce the setback from Sea Street to 22 feet. According to Attorney Kenneth E. Wilson , representing Mr. Nye, the building will be connected with town sewerage. Construction will be of block and brick , two end a half stories high with five units on each level. Mr. Wnson noted at the hearing that buildings on either side of the land in the Residence A zone had approximately the same set- back or less than that requested. One condition attached to the granting of the variance was that the entrance closest to Sea Street be eliminated and the remaining entrance be widened to 28 feet . Another decision filed by the board was the granting of a spe- cial permit to Richard and Marie Sederberg for extension of a non- conforming use at 933 Falmouth Road , Hyannis. The Sederbergs , who operate Cape Maid Farms, plan a 40 by 50-foot addition to the rear of the existing building to be used for .storage. It would be built some distance from any abutting property own- ers, screened by woods, and would not be visible from the street. None of the present off street par- king would be eliminated by the new construction. Centerville photographer John B. Lane was given a variance for the construction of a portrait stu- dio attached to a single family home to be built in the Residence C area of Route 28. A motel abuts the land on one side and a sand pit lies to the rear. No exterior displays are planned by Mr. Lane , nor any outside signs. A four-car parking space is included in the plans. A special permit was issued to Eli and Cecille Cohen to extend non- conforming use by remodell- ing a garage f:jr apartment use at 32 Dartmouth Street , Hyannis in a Residence A zone. The property has been used for rental apartments since 1947, prior to zoning. The existing building lias four dwelling units. Planned for the garage is a three- room apartment of living room , bed - room , kitchen and bath with no exterior change . Ampt" parking is available. Extension of another non-confor- ming use was allowed In a special permit given Hyannis Holiday Motel on Ocean Stre3t for the buil- ding of an 18- by 36-foot enclosed swimming pool in front of the mo- tel. The present parking area would not be diminished by the addition nor would the pool interfere with access to or from the motel. Alton F. Anderson was given a special permit to build a 59-foot pier with a 4 by 16-foot ramp at- tached at Channel Point Road , Hyannis. No bulkhead or filling at the site is planned. The length of the pier was of concern to the board , though it is not within its juris diction. Selectmen have al ¦ ready approved plans for the con- struction.
