PETITIONERS MICHAEL AND LISA CANNATA RE: 100 CAYUGA AVE, MASHPEE WE RESPECTFULLY REQUEST A ZBA HEARING FOR APPROVAL OF CONDITIONS FOR REDEVELOPMENT OF 100 CAYUGA AVE (58-23-0 assessors map/R3 Zone) Existing property Description: This very large 1.6 acre parcel has previously been developed in 1942. It currently stands with -one residential-home and a detached 2 car garage. Both structures have well exceeded their life expectancy at this time and existing structural conditions are unsafe and uninhabitable. Buildings have failing block foundations and extensive structural rot. Given this poor state of disrepair, removal and redevelopment is the most prudent option. Scope of new work: The intent and scope for this redevelopment is to replace these old structures with a new 4 bedroom home and a new detached garage with living space above. Both buildings will be set in similar locations but are environmentally improved by moving bank and away from the lakefront and the inland bank as shown in plans submitted. Property is large enough to sustain a 5 bedroom septic and represents only 7% lot coverage. The septic design is also a great improvement ecologically as it is moved to the street side away from the lake and replaces two cesspools that exist on the lakefront. The project will also include fencing along the property lines and stone landscape walls to mitigate grade changes and provide a backstop for extensive plantings. These site plans have already received Health dept. review and DEP/Conservation board approval with issued DEP#043-2884 We now seeking variances and relief for the following actions: 1. Relief of the 150 foot frontage requirement. Property is already developed and is a pre-existing nonconforming lot with 84.60 foot frontage. 2. To allow a two phased project to include the following scope of work In the following order: Phase 1: Remove all existing structures, house, garage and sheds. Permit and build the new detached garage as per plans provided and install the new 5 bedroom septic system required for the whole project. Owners will require this space to live while building the main house. Install privacy fencing on left and right lot lines and build stone landscape walls and driveway. Permit and rebuild existing shed on waterfront shown on plan. Phase 2: Permit and build the main home not to exceed 4 bedrooms or the footprint and setbacks shown on site plan. Once the occupancy permit has been received for this main dwelling cooking equipment may be removed from the garage premises if required. Proposed total septic capacity and bedroom count will be and shall not exceed 5 as per plans. The town has previously allowed such conditions and we respectful request allowance of the same in kind. Kind Regards, Michael and Lisa Cannata
