Variance of the side yard setback under §174-31 of the Zoning Bylaws to allow for extension of an existing garage on property located in an R-3 Zoning District and (Popponesset Overlay), (Map 112 Parcel 83), Mashpee, MA. Mr. Doug Mullen, General Contractor represented the applicant. He will be extending the garage that is falling apart and would like to add a second story, 2.5 ft. on the North elevation. It's a pre-existing non -conforming structure. Chairman Furbush read the comments from the Board of Health into the record; "Allowed as long as space remains unheated." Chairman Furbush read the Inspection Department comments into the record; "The area is zoned R3 and is in the Pre -contact Archaeology Sensitivity area --- listed as "Moderate Sensitivity". The applicant is seeking a Variance under Article V § 174.31 to construct an addition to an existing free standing garage; which would be too close to the side yard setback." Chairman Furbush read an email from the abutter at 22 Bluff Avenue dated March 8, 2016, who had specific concerns. Mr. Chris Foley, the abutter who resides at 22 Bluff Avenue was present and had concerns regarding a privacy issue because the garage is 30 feet from his deck in the back. The Board mentioned they can make a condition that the applicant install plantings behind the garage to provide privacy and will be inspected by the Building Department prior to the final inspection. Mr. Bonvie stated the condition would be that 6 ft. arborvitaes 6 ft. on center be installed, beginning from where the tree line stops on the bearing line of north 40 feet 48, 10 degrees east for the distance to the corner of the intersection of the lot line which is 45 degrees west. The representative of the applicant when asked said he was agreeable to those conditions. 5
