Members sitting: E. Govoni, R. Nelson, C. Hawver Plans were presented on behalf of the McCarthy's which included a detailed sketch of proposed changes with measurements. Mr. Govoni found the following: 1)the changes between the proposed addition and deck replacement and the prior one will result in an increase in lot coverage but it is under the allowed 20%; 2) while the proposed addition and deck replacement will increase the non-conforming nature of the structure, the changes will not result in a structure or use which is more detrimental to the neighborhood than the prior non-conforming structure and its use; 3) the immediate neighborhood consists of single family homes of similar size. Many have been improved with additions or reconstruction. Mr. Govoni moved to grant the Special Permit under Section 174-17. Ms. Hawver seconded. All agreed. Michael DeDecko- Requests a Variance from Section 174-32 of the Zoning By-laws to allow the construction of a single family dwelling on an unpaved road on property located in an R-3 zoning district at 41 Coombs Road (Map 44, Block 27)Mashpee, MA (Owner of record: Roosevelt and Pearl Watson).
