Site / Bylaw


The Affordable Accessory Dwelling Unit (AADU) bylaw is applicable for this competition. An affordable accessory dwelling unit can be built as long as the main building's septic system has the legal capacity. It generally shares a well with the existing building.

The following relevant dimensional constraints apply for the competition:
The maximum height for the building is 28 feet above median grade. The front setback is 30 feet (Pine Point Rd.), side setback is 15 and rear is 10 feet. If the building exceeds 15 feet in height, then the setback has to be equal to building height up to 25 feet, which is the maximum setback. There is a view of Wellfleet Harbor for the back of the site. The owner is  fine with demolishing the existing shed.

Note: If the home owner decides to opt out of the accessory dwelling program, they can remove the kitchen from the dwelling and the building will then be classified as a 'studio'. Special loans and grants allotted to the owner would need to be repaid.
