<br /> NEW HEARINGS
<br /> 1.85 Wading Place Road: Petitioner, Steven Cook, Cotuit Bay Design requests a
<br /> modification to an existing Written Finding (FINDING-2012-32) for new house design
<br /> plans with new egress platform/steps on the east side of the house on property located in
<br /> an R-3 Zoning District, and Popponesset Overlay District, (Map 112 Parcel 90), Mashpee,
<br /> MA. (Owners of record: William and Doreen Wade).
<br /> Mr. Steve Cook, Cotuit Bay Design represented the applicants for this project. There was
<br /> a minor modification granted on May 1, 2013, and this property has a capped foundation
<br /> that has been sitting for a few years. The homeowners are ready to proceed with
<br /> construction and the plans that were previously permitted by the Board didn't work for the
<br /> homeowners, and there were a lot of code construction issues. A new set of plans were
<br /> designed and will work for the approved footprint, and there are two sides of egress. This
<br /> house will be a 2.5 story, two full floors and half story on the third floor. The half story is
<br /> two thirds of the area below per the zoning bylaw. It's a typical Cape style house with a
<br /> wrap-around deck on the first and second floors.
<br /> The top of the foundation is up about 15-16 inches, and when the floors are in, it will be an
<br /> 8.5 ft. wall height on both floors. The roof will be a 9-pitch, which is a total height of 29
<br /> ft.7 inches, so it's five inches below the 30 foot height restriction for the Popponesset
<br /> Overly District.The only change from the previous plan is the egress step was moved from
<br /> the south side to the east side. The code issues were taken care of, and the access to the
<br /> basement was corrected with the revised plan. The prior approval given was a Written
<br /> Finding, and this is just a modification with revised plans.
<br /> The Board asked if the original permit time had lapsed. Mike Mendoza, Building
<br /> Commissioner's non-legal professional opinion is that because there is an existing
<br /> foundation the applicant acted on the Written Finding. The question for the Board would
<br /> be;was the original Written Finding issued for the site, and is the height of the building the
<br /> same or was it increased? Originally,'this application was for a two-story building, and
<br /> now it will be taller. An argument can be made whether or not if all the surrounding houses
<br /> are within the character of the neighborhood. This could be viewed as detrimental to the
<br /> neighborhood because of a change in character to the neighborhood.
