Harris requests a Variance from the side, front, and rear yard setbacks under § 174-31 of the Zoning Bylaws to raze and replace a single-family dwelling on property located in an R-3 Zoning District, and Popponesset Overlay District, Map 117 Parcel 312, Mashpee, MA. Mr. Tom Bunker, of BSS Design represented the owner, Ellen Harris who was also present. He said that he wanted to make a correction to the advertisement request for the Variance because the application does not require a front or side yard setback; it does require a rear yard setback. The house was built in the 1950's prior to the existence of zoning in Mashpee. Currently the dwelling is pre-existing, non -conforming on a lot that has two front yards; one being setback 22.3 ft. from Greenwood Road, and 46.7 ft. setback from Bearse Rd. The side setback where the bulkhead is located is 8.3 ft. from the property line, and 11.5 ft. from the rear property line. The homeowners want a workshop in the basement, but required approval from FEMA to remove the house from the flood zone. This was performed by removing the deck and putting in fill around the whole house. The homeowners received a letter from FEMA and is on record that the house is out of the flood hazard zone. The lot is 6,500 sq. ft., the existing lot coverage is 179%. The number of bedrooms will remain the same as two bedrooms, and the septic system upgrade meets all Title V requirements. The new house is basically the same size, and has been rotated slightly to become square on the lot. It is now 25.1 ft. from Greenwood Rd., 37 ft. from Bearse Rd. The side yard is now 15 ft., and what was 11.5 ft. is now 119 ft. from the rear property line. The parking area is situated on top of the septic system. Mr. Blaisdell read the Board of Health and Conservation comments into the record. Mr. Bonvie read the Inspection Department comments into the record. The Board had a discussion regarding the new demo permit requirement for raze and replace projects initiated by the Board of Health and Building Departments. 5
