MINUTES August 10, 1988 Page 2. • JACK SULLIVAN - Requests a Variance under Section 7.4 (3) of the Land Space Requirements for permission to vary the front setback in an R-3 zoning district on property located at 54 Forestdale Road (Route 130) (Map 27, Lot 73) Mashpee, MA. Members sitting: R. Halpern, E. Govoni, C. Hawver Robert Raymond of Arrow Engineering presented the Petition. The Board was informed that the applicant had commenced construction of a foundation on the lot when it was discovered that the lot was bordered by a paper road which did not appear on the assessors' maps. Mr. Sullivan explained that he would require a variance of 15.9 feet from the paper road and a 39.5 foot setback from Forestdale Road. Mr. Edwin Rosenthal, an abutter, objected to the Petition. He explained that the rear of the Sullivan lot contained a retaining wall on the boundary with reserved land to the rear. He was concerned that any building activity on the land would disturb the retaining wall and cause fall-off of land into the reserved area. Mr. Halpern stated that he would like to review the plans with Town Counsel and obtain additional information on the paper road. Mr. Halpern moved to continue to September 14, 1988. Mrs. Hawver seconded. All agreed. • THOMAS STARAUCH AND ROBERT MILLS - Request a Variance under Section 7.1 and 7.5 of the Land Space Requirements for the extension of a non- conforming use on property located at Lot 40B Cotuit Road (Map 29, Lot 40) Mashpee, MA. Members sitting: R. Halpern, C. Hawver, E. Govoni The Board was informed that the owners had purchased one lot on Cotuit Road containing two houses. They have received Planning Board approval to divide the land into two lots. The house on Lot A is a rental property in good repair. The house on Lot B is in poor condition and the owners would like to have it demolished and rebuild on the lot. The owners want to insure that the lot retains its buildability if the house is torn down. Randolph Peters, an abutter, said the house to be removed is an eyesore and he would like it demolished. Douglas Boyd confirmed that the house is in disrepair. Mrs. Hawver moved to grant permission to have the house on Lot B removed and protect the lot as a non -conforming lot for two years. In addition, the owners would be allowed the option to apply for an extension of the Variance if the new construction is not started within two years. Mr. Govoni seconded. All agreed. 0
