t MASHPEE ZONING BOARD OF APPEALS MEETING MINUTES DECEMBER 13,2017 65 Treasure Lane: Owners,David W. and Lauren A. Richards request a Written Finding under §174-17 of the Zoning Bylaws to allow for construction of a second floor addition to a pre-existing non-conforming structure on property located in an R-3 Zoning District, (Map 96 Parcel 46), M'ashpee, MA. Attorney Kevin Kirrane represented the homeowners for the'specific Written Finding.Also present was the homeowner, David Richards. Mr. Kirrane provided the Board with a narrative, site plan, and photographs of the area. The project consists of a relatively small second story addition to the existing relatively small structure,and is proposing to eliminate the two decks that are outlined on the plan. A second story will be added and there will also be a small front porch added to that particular structure. The structure itself is non- conforming because it only sits 13.3 ft. from the lot line that it shares with lot 146 and it currently is only 29.6 ft. from Treasure Lane. The lot is a corner type lot that is situated on Treasure Lane and Captains Row. The proposed front setback will conform on Captains Row, and will not increase that non-conformity. There is a non-conformity increasing slightly from 29.6 ft. to 32 ft, relative to that front porch. The second floor addition conforms to other structures in the neighborhood. The structure is set back far enough so it will not be creating any sight issues with either pedestrian or vehicular travel. The lot coverage is not increasing and is dropping from 12.8% to 11.1%. In his closing remarks, Mr. Kirrane said that this project is not more detrimental than what currently exists, and the setbacks that are being proposed are more than adequate to provide the appropriate safeguards, and there is plenty of parking as required. Mr. Goldstein commented that given the lot coverage is getting better, it's not touching the ground, and the porch getting a little closer is not an issue. He does not have any issues with the project. Mr. Blaisdell read the Conservation, Board of Health comments into the record. Mr. Goldstein read the Inspection Department comments into the record. There were no more comments from the Board or audience. Mr. Goldstein made a motion to approve the house project for a second story addition with the following conditions; Site Plan David and Lauren Richard, #65 Treasure Lane, Mashpee, MA.
