MASHPEE ZONING BOARD OF APPEALS MEETING MINUTES SEPTEMBER 27, 2017 Mr. Goldstein made a motion to accept the withdrawal of the Variance. Mr. Gould seconded, yes, Mr. DeBarros, yes, Mr. Pittsley, yes and Mr. Blaisdell, yes. All were in favor and accepted the withdrawal of the Variance. Mr. Healy asked the Board if Overlook Knoll is correctly listed as the front, and said in his opinion it is correct. He said he listed Seaview Avenue as the rear of the building, but used a street frontage because it's also a street. Is this a correct way to move forward? Attorney Joyce objected to the comment because he said it"muddies the water"for a future plan. He said that the application should be presented to the Zoning Enforcement Officer, and his decision can be appealed under 40A Section 15 to the ZBA. Mr. Blaisdell suggested Mr. Healy present his plans to the Zoning Enforcement Officer. 64 Hilltop Road: Owner, Susan E.
