MASHPEE ZONING BOARD OF APPEALS DECISION FOR A WRITTEN FINDING Douglas A. Semple 43 Sakonnet Drive, (Map 72 Parcel 31) Mashpee, MA 02649 FINDING-2016-36 There is also another small section in the upper left hand corner of the building that will be renovated to square off the building. He also highlighted the area of two roof canopies to be included in the project over an existing door way, and an expanded patio that will exist when the renovation is complete. The plan depicts that the lot is a non-conforming lot because it doesn't meet current day size requirements, and the structure itself is non-conforming because it fails to meet the current front yard setback requirements. The lot is unique because it has three frontages located along Sakonnet Drive, Sagamore Road, and Massasoit Avenue and has to meet the setbacks on all three as compared to a typical residential dwelling which is one front yard,two side yards, and one rear yard setback. The existing structure is situated approximately 13.1 feet off of Sagamore Road, and the proposed addition will be built a few inches closer to Sagamore Road at 12.9 feet. The existing structure is 39 feet from the front yard setback along Sakonnet Drive, and the roof canopy will bring the structure closer to 33 feet making the addition a total of 486 square feet. The construction will consists of adding 92 square feet of the footprint. The overhead canopies consist of 23 and 89 square feet, which is an additional 204 square feet, and 112 square feet by the two overhead canopies. Mr. Kirrane concluded that the project will not be substantially more detrimental to the neighborhood than what currently exists and that there is adequate land area to provide enough parking and setbacks as may be required. Mr. Goldstein mentioned that lot coverage is not an issue. He said there was only one canopy depicted on the plot plan that is supported by columns, and if the applicant wants to add columns on the second canopy, it will not be an issue with lot coverage.
