Acting Chairman, William A. Blaisdell, Board Members, Ronald Bonvie, Dom DeBarros, and Scott Goldstein, and Associate Members, Brad Pittsiey and Norman J. Gould were present. Chairman Furbush was absent. PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE Mr. Blaisdell opened the meeting announcing that it was being televised live on Mashpee TV. 36 Valley Road: Owner, Sally A. Lewis requests a Special Permit under § 174-45.4 of the Zoning By-laws to allow for an accessory apartment above an existing garage located in an R-5 Zoning District, Map 42 Parcel 4, Mashpee, MA. (Continued from November 9, 2016 hearings at the request of the owner, opened but not beard). Attorney Kevin Kirrane represented the homeowner for the accessory apartment application. He provided the Board with his written remarks and photographs of the property, both exterior and interior. He said the property is situated in the Ashumet Shores subdivision that was established in 1965, and is on a lot that consists of 12,600 sq. ft. with 120 feet along Valley Road. Ms. Lewis purchased the property in 2001, and at that time, thought the apartment above of the attached garage was valid, but recently learned that it was not properly permitted so she is now seeking the appropriate special permit to establish that apartment above the attached garage. Attorney Kirrane said that the Board is well aware of the specific criteria in the bylaws that must be met to establish a Special Permit for an accessory apartment. He said this application meets all the requirements as listed in his written remarks. He respectfully asked the Board to act favorably upon the special permit request. Mr. Bonvie asked if the applicant appeared in front of the Design Review Board. Attorney Kirrane said he was not aware if that happened, but thought if there were construction involved it may have required a meeting with Design Review. He said this is a building that has existed for 20 -plus years, and no exterior modifications are proposed. Mr. Bonvie read the Inspection Department comments into the record, and the Board of Health comments into the record.
