Board of Appeals Minutes - January 17, 1996 2. William B. and Betsey ng ebin -Request a Variance from Section 174-31 of the Zoning By-laws for permission to vary the frontage and lot size requirements to allow the construction of a single family home on each of two lots located in an R-5 zoning district at 46 and 50 Hilltop Road (Map 41, Blocks 68 and 69)Mashpee, MA. Members sitting: E. Govoni, J. Regan, K. Marsters Attorney Kevin M. Kirrane represented the applicant and informed the Board that the applicants have owned the two lots since 1967 and were not aware of changes in the zoning by-laws which were voted in May 1990. He said the wording of the Town by-law change was difficult to understand. He explained that taxes and water and street betterments have been charged by the Town for two separate buildable lots. He stated that the Briarwood Association has invoiced them for two lots. He said the lots are consistent in size with most lots in a area on which single family homes have been constructed and that it would be a hardship to be prevented from building on both lots. Mr. Govoni read a letter from an abutter concerning drainage on the lots. Mr. Govoni explained that the Board was submitting an article for Town Meeting to provide for a correction period for this type of problem. Mr. Govoni moved to take the application under advisement. Mr. Marsters seconded. All agreed. Arnold B.

Regan, R. Nelson Engineer M. Grotzke represented the applicant and reviewed plans for the enclosure of part of a deck and addition of a porch of 51 square feet.
