MASHPEE ZONING BOARD OF APPEALS <br /> MEETING MINUTES <br /> SEPTEMBER 13, 2017 <br /> The Board had a lengthy discussion about raze and replace projects.Historically,the Board <br /> has viewed these projects which are not increasing the non-conformity to be under the rules <br /> of a Written Finding. <br /> Mr. Blaisdell agreed to move forward with the presentation and agreed to hear the <br /> comments from the audience but would like to consult with Town Counsel. The Board <br /> agreed to let the applicant move forward. <br /> Mr. Goldstein asked the applicant if the overhang was a cantilevered second floor. Mr. <br /> Healy said it was just an overhang. <br /> Mr. Bonvie read the Board of Health and the Inspection Department comments into the <br /> record. <br /> Mr. Blaisdell read the Conservation comments into the record. <br /> Attorney,Alexander Joyce,represented Mr. John Lynch,who owns the home located at 25 <br /> Overlook Knoll Rd. He provided the Board with a narrative that explained the reasons he <br /> is against the proposal and requested variances at 29 Overlook Knoll Road. <br /> The Board reviewed the narrative and explained to Attorney Joyce that the requested <br /> variances were minimal and in fact making the lot more conforming to current zoning. <br /> Mr. John Lynch,the homeowner of 25 Overlook Knoll stated that he is concerned with the <br /> new proposed home being out of character with the neighborhood. He believes that the <br /> new dwelling does not meet the required criteria for a Variance, and he requested that the <br /> Board follow the direction of the Zoning Enforcement Officer. <br /> The Board confirmed with Mike Mendoza that the carport is considered a structure and is <br /> included in the setback requirements on the application. <br /> Mr. Healy wanted to address the concerns with parking for the proposed dwelling and <br /> stated that a one-car garage is included inside the building. There will also be a stone strip <br /> along the North side to keep cars off the road. The lot itself is unusual because it abuts two <br /> streets similar to the neighborhood. Directly behind this property there is also two streets, <br /> but on the left and right, those lots have different setback requirements for the rear and <br /> front.He said that other neighborhoods in Town generally do not have lots that have a front <br /> and rear street. <br /> Mr. Bonvie pointed out to Mr. Healy that there might be an error on the plot plan. He said <br /> that the East setback is showing existing at 35.9 ft. and proposed is 28.8 . Mr. Bonvie said <br /> he believes it depicts the opposite. Mr. Healy pointed out that the proposed garage is the <br /> closest point at 28.8 ft. <br /> 4 <br />
