MASHPEE ZONING BOARD OF APPEALS MEETING MINUTES JULY 26, 2017 Chairman Furbush asked if those Board of Health requirements were available. Mr. Cook said the plans were drawn by JC Engineering and complies with the 20 ft. setback. An abutter that lives at 3 Bayview Way wanted clarification on the building plans and parking. The abutter asked if it's possible to drive over the septic system. Mr. Goldstein said that if the septic is under the driveway, it has to be designed to handle that. The structures are not allowed to go over the 20% lot coverage, and in this case it is under. Mr. Blaisdell made a motion to approve the application with the conditions of the site and floor plans, and the Town department comments read into the record. Mr. Gould second, yes. All were in favor of the bedroom addition. Mr. Cook asked why this application would require a Written Finding if the project meets all the requirements.
