I • I TOWN OF MASHPEE BOARD OF APPEALS i TOWN HALL, MASHPEE, MASSACHUSETTS 02649 I` RE: Application of PETERS ENTERPRISES for zoning variance June 4, 1976 DECISION A petition was duly filed by the petitioner for a variance ! to Section 6.3 ; paragraph D-1, of the Zoning By-laws as pertains to Land Use Regulations in a R-1 zoned area. Notice was duly given to abutters and owners of land next ad- joining the land of abutters. Notice was given by publishing in the Falmouth Enterprise, d newspaper of general circulation in the Town of Mashpee on March 12, 1976 and March 19 , 1976, a copy of such notice being appended hereto. A public hearing was held on the petition at the Mashpee Town Hall on Wednesday, April 7, 1976, at 7 :30 p.m. at which time the following members of the Board of Appeals were present: Michael A. Makunas, acting chairman; B. Jean Thomas and Linda Edson Hend- ricks. The petitioner' s property consists of land located on Lot 1, Route 28 and High Sachum Road, Route 28 a 60 foot wide way and High Sachum Road a 40 foot wide way. ' Dimensions of this lot are 125 feet in width,,-fronting on Route 28, a 200 foot westerly side- line on High Sachum Road, a 200 foot easterly sideline and a 100 foot northerly rear lot line. Total land area consisting of 25,009 square feet of land. The petitioners feel that there is strong evidence that the location of this residentially zoned lot on 28, a highway of heavy, fast traffic, has made the lot highly unsuitable for residential purposes. The danger of raising a family on this major highway has, and will continue to, dis- courage families from constructing a home on this lot. The noise and fumes emanating from this highway further contribute to the unsuitable nature of this lot for residential purposes. Further, the adjoining lot currently has under construction a Karate studio. This studio will in all likelihood encourage a variety of commerce which would seriously disturb the quietude of petitioners lot and further contribute to its unsuitability for residential use.
