The Seashore District is intended to further preservation and development of the Cape Cod National Seashore in accor- dance with the purposes of the Act of Congress of August 7, 1961 (75 Stat. 284, 291) ; to prohibit commercial and in- dustrial uses therein; to preserve and increase the ameni- ties of the town ; and to conserve natural conditions, wildlife and open spaces for the education, recreation and general welfare of the public.
Permitted Uses.
1. Conservation of land, water, wildlife, vegetation, and other natural features and values.
2. Facilities deemed by the Secretary of the interior to be necessary for the administration and public use and enjoy- ment of the Cape Cod National Seashore or deemed to be necessary by the Town of Eastham.
3. Recreation, including but not limited to, hunting, fishing, swimming and boating.
4. Gardening and traditional agricultural uses of cleared land, but excluding such objectionable uses as a piggery or the commercial raising of livestock, fur-bearing animals and
154
poultry, or other uses injurious, noxious or offensive to the neighborhood.
5. Traditional commercial fishing activities, the opening of shellfish, and storage and use of fishing equipment.
6. Uses of existing dwellings as residences and acces- sory uses customarily incidental to the principal residential use on the same premises, provided such uses are not detri- mental to a residential neighborhood and do not alter the essential character of the dwelling as a residence. Residential uses of dwellings may include the renting of rooms and furnishing of board by residents of the premises to over- night guests, if such uses do not alter the essential character of the dwellings as residences.
7. Customary or self home occupations as defined in Section III, paragraph 7, of the Town of Eastham By-Laws, Rules and Regulations, but this shall not include the use of acces- sory structures as stores or for the display of goods to the passing public.
8. Moving, alteration, enlargement, maintenance, repairs of existing one-family residential dwellings or the erection of customary structures which will be accessory to the exist- ing principal residential use provided that such improve- ments to existing dwellings and the erection of accessory structures will afford not less than the setback required by the By-Laws of 1962 from all streets and from the abutters' property lines and further do not alter the essential char- acter of the dwelling as a residence. In appropriate cases, the Board of Appeals may approve lesser set back or side vard requirements for improvements to existing dwellings or for the erection of accessory structures, provided they do not alter the residential character of the premises.
9. Religious and educational use.
10. Municipal use and public utilities.
11. Detached one-family dwellings and accessory structures, provided that no lot may be used for their construction which has a frontage of less than 150 feet, and an area of less than 40.000 square feet, and no dwelling or building may be lo-
155
cated in such manner as to provide less than a 50-foot setback from all streets measured at a right angle with the street line and a 25-foot distance from abutters' property lines.
12. The display of not more than one single-faced or one double-faced sign on property of a residential occupant which shall pertain to the occupancy, sale or rental of such property as herein authorized and such sign shall not exceed two square feet in area and shall not be of a type or style em- ploying or using neon, fluorescent, or other direct illumin- ation ; provided that the above limitation shall not apply to facilities deemed by the Secretary of the Interior to be necessary on federally owned property for administration and public use and enjoyment of the Cape Cod National Seashore or to facilities of the Town of Eastham on town owned land.
Except as provided above there shall be in the Seashore District :
1. No burning of cover unless determined by the Fire Chief to be necessary for the welfare and safety of the town and such burning shall be in accordance with the requirements of Section 13, Chapter 48 of the General Laws.

156
Interior is authorized to withdraw the suspension of his au- thority to acquire, by condemnation, property which is made the subject of a variance or exception that, in his opinion, fails to conform or is in any manner opposed to or in- consistent with the purposes of the Cape Cod National Sea- shore. The Secretary of the Interior shall be given notice by the Board of Appeals, of all applications or petitions made for variances or exceptions to the bylaws for the Seashore District and he shall be provided notice by the Building In- spector of all applications for building permits involving the Seashore District within seven (7) days of receipt of the applications or petitions. The Secretary may be consulted at any time by zoning authorities or by the owner of "improved property" regarding the effect of a proposed variance or exception upon the status of the affected property with re- gard to the suspension of the Secretary's authority to con- demn. The Secretary, within 60 days of the receipt of a request for such determination, or as soon thereafter as is reasonably possible, shall advise the owner or zoning au- thorities whether or not the intended use will subject the property to acquisition by condemnation. Subsequently, to meet the requirements of the Act of Congress of August 7, 1961, the Secretary shall be given notice by the appropriate board of any variance, or exception, or building permit, granted or denied for the area within the Seashore District.
