Massachusetts Appeals Court December 18, 2002, No. 00-P-1851 (Daddario v. Cape Cod Commission)

Kafker, J.

The plaintiff, Francis E. Daddario, sought a permit to mine sand and gravel on thirty-two acres of a seventy acre parcel (locus) on Cape Cod. The Cape Cod Commission (commission), established by St. 1989, c. 716 (Act),1 and charged by the Legislature with regulating “developments of regional impact” (DRIs)2 on the Cape, denied the permit.
