Notice was duly given to abutters in accordance with Massachusetts General Laws Chapter 40A.Notice was given by publication in The Mashpee Enterprise,a newspaper of general circulation in the Town of Mashpee, on September 29, 2017 and October 6, 2017 a copy of which is attached hereto and made a part hereof. The Mashpee Zoning Board of Appeals issues this Decision pursuant to the provisions of Massachusetts General Laws Chapter 40A §6 and the Town of Mashpee Zoning By-laws. Public Hearings were held on the Petition at the Mashpee Town Hall on Wednesday, November 8, 2017 at which time the following members of the Board of Appeals opened the hearing and were present; Acting Chairman, Ron Bonvie, Dom DeBarros and Associate Members,Norman J. Gould,and Sharon Sangeleer. Mr. Steve Cook, Cotuit Bay Design represented the home owners for this project. The house is located on Popponesset Island Road and backs up to Popponesset Creek. There is currently a deck off the master bedroom and a screen porch off the dining room with a set of stairs going down to the yard. The homeowners would like to eliminate the screen porch, and push that back about 30 inches and make it part of the existing house. They would like to remove the master bedroom deck and reconfigure the deck layout. The deck encompasses the corner of the expanding dining room all the way to the family room. They would like to add a new set of stairs going down,and align them with the lower deck. Mr. Cook pointed out the"top of the coastal bank"on the site plan in the rear part of the property. The house has a walk-out basement. There's a set of stairs that lead up to a deck to access a walkway onto the dock. The existing deck is 35 feet from the edge of the wetlands, so this project is already non-conforming as stated in the bylaw from the 50 ft.buffer to the wetlands. 1
