MASHPEE ZONING BOARD OF APPEALS MEETING MINUTES MAY 24, 2017 16 Papnomett Road: Owner, Kathleen J. MacRoberts requests a modification to a Special Permit (SP -2016-35) to allow for construction of a deck attached to the rear of the house and proposed accessory apartment on property located in an R-3 Zoning District, Map 61 Parcel 46, Mashpee, MA. Mr. Joseph Butler represented the homeowner for the proposed deck. The reason for the modification is to allow for a deck that was not included in the original proposal or depicted on the site plan of the accessory apartment structure that was approved by the Board last year. The deck will extend 8 feet off the back of the addition and house. There will also be a ramp constructed in the front of the house and does not change the setback in the front. The Board reviewed the plan and noticed that the deck was hand -drawn on the plot plan. The Building Commissioner said that the plan shows the foundation, but he wanted to make sure that the scale was correct. The lot coverage prior to the deck was 14.4%, the lot coverage will be 15.3% with the deck. Mr. Butler said there was a change made to the interior location of the kitchen. Mr. Mendoza said that is not an issue. Mr. Goldstein read the Inspection Department comments into the record. Mr. Blaisdell read the Conservation Comments into the record. Mr. Furbush read the Board of Health comments into the record. Mr. Bonvie read the DPW comments into the record. The Board had a discussion regarding the DPW Director's comments and suggested that the applicant meet with Catherine Laurent to discuss the curb cut permit. Mr. Bonvie made a motion that the Board finds that the deck addition in the rear of the house and the ramp on 16 Papnomett Road as shown on the plan titled; Foundation Certification located at 16 Papnomett Road, Mashpee, MA, prepared for Kathleen J.
