Doug Fraser reports that the town of Wellfleet’s Zoning Board of Appeals upheld the town building inspector's decision to grant a building permit to the Blasch family to construct a controversial 5,700-square-foot home in a scenic area of the Cape Cod National Seashore. The new home will replace and triple the footprint of the recently demolished “Billboard” house. The National Park Service has expressed concern about the size of the new home and the permitting process.
