Referencing the same conditions that were approved and granted in the Special Permit Case# SP-2011-19 at the ZBA Public Hearings on June 8, 2011. 4. Conditioned on all Town department comments read into the record. Mr. Blaisdell seconded, yes, Mr. DeBarros, yes, Mr. Gould,yes, and Mr. Furbush, yes. All were in favor to issue the Special Permit for the accessory apartment. 55 Monahansett Road: Owners, Robert H. and Maura B. Wittstein request a Written Finding under §174-17 of the Zoning Bylaws to allow for an alteration and extension of a porch, deck, and house on property located in an R-3 Zoning District and the Popponesset Overlay District, Map 123 Parcel 100, Mashpee, MA. Attorney Kevin Kirrane represented the homeowners for the application. He provided the Board with a plot plan,building plans,and a narrative of the property.The property consists of 9,138 sq. ft. has 85 feet of frontage along Monahansett Road and backs up to Deans Pond. The lot is situated in the Popponesset Overlay District and is a conforming lot. There is a ranch style single-family,three bedroom residence on the lot which currently conforms to the zoning requirements with the exception that the current setback from the Westerly side line is 14.4 ft. which is less than the 15 ft. under the bylaw. He highlighted the areas on the plan of the proposed additions which will increase the non-conformity from 14.4 ft. to 14.3 ft. and the addition to the structure is getting closer to Monahansett Road. Mr. Kirrane pointed out the average front yard setbacks on either side of the property on the plot plan; one is 11.8', and the other is 30.9' and the average of those two setbacks are 21.3 ft. which is what is being proposed, and is consistent with what zoning requires so there is no need for a variance. The structure will remain 35 ft. in distance from the wetlands and does require a specific finding from the Board. The Board needs to determine that what is being proposed is not substantially more detrimental to the neighborhood than what currently exists. The applicants are also proposing a second story, and is consistent with what is in the neighborhood. The lot coverage is under the 20%requirement and the dwelling will remain a three bedroom. Mr. Goldstein mentioned that the roof line might have to come down a little, and would be determined by the average grade because of the 30 ft. height restriction in the Popponesset Overlay District. Mr. Furbush read the Board of Health, and Inspection Department, and Conservation comments into the record. 4
