MINUTES September 14, 1988 - 4 - BOARD OF APPEALS • Amesbury (cont.) Mr. Joseph Farley, an abutter, objected to the request for the 5' setback. Mr. Tony Ferragamo, a resident of Mashpee, stated that he became aware of the possibility that the lot might be out of the Special Permit and advised Mr. Amesbury to seek a ruling from the Building Inspector. He commented that he did not think the addition would be detrimental to the surrounding area and had been approved by the New Seabury Architectural Review Committee. Mr. Halpern recommended that the Board visit the property. Mr. Makunas moved to take the Petition under advisement. Mr. Hanrahan seconded. All agreed.

Bonwood Co. (Discussion) Ron Bonvey of the Bonwood Co. explained that his Special Permit requires him to improve Old Barnstable Road.

The permit states that there will be 11' wide travel lanes, 4' paved shoulder and slashed berms on each side. Mr. Makunas stated that the Board would issue a letter specifying that there would be 11' travel lanes and 4' paved shoulder at the same elevation with a white line to keep traffic off the shoulder. Shellfish Department (Discussion) Paul Somervell, Shellfish Constable, reported that the Town has sold 600 shellfish permits. He feels that some of the building projects are endangering the shellfish beds. Lisa Hanscom, Conservation Officer, stated that they will have to start mapping the shellfish areas and present proposals for new by-laws to protect the shellfish beds. Mr. Halpern suggested that the Board of Appeals, the Conservation Officer and the Shellfish Constable have discussion meetings to review the Wetlands Protection Act. Mary Tully Elinor Walsh
