i TOWN OF MASHPEE Board of Appeals Minutes Wednesday, July 29, 1992 The Mashpee Board of Appeals held a meeting on Wednesday, July 29, 1992 at 7:30 P.M. at the Mashpee Town Hall. Board members present and acting throughout were John J. Friel, Michael A. Makunas, Edward M. Govoni and Jamie Regan. Acting Building Inspector William Hauck was present. Mr. Friel called the meeting to order at 7:35 P.M. Richard M. and Estelle G. Cushner - Request a Special Permit under Section 174-25.1.9 of the Zoning By-laws for permission to construct a permanent timber pier in the waters of Great River to replace an existing seasonal pier in an R-3 zoning district on property located at 22 Samoset Road (Map 125, Block 65) Mashpee, MA. Members sitting: J. Friel, M. Makunas, E. Govoni Attorney Kevin Kirrane represented the applicant and explained that there was a temporary dock at the location and the applicant now wishes to make it a permanent structure. He said the length is being reduced and no ramp or float would be used in conjunction with the pier. Mr. Friel asked how many boats would be used and Dr. Cushner said only two boats would be used. There was discussion of shellfish in the area and Michael McGrath, Engineer of the project, said clam digging had disrupted much of the area. He explained that the seasonal removal of the temporary dock caused more environmental damage than the new one would and boats would only be tied on one side. Mr. Makunas moved to grant the Special Permit. Mr. Govoni seconded. All agreed. Bayport Homes Inc. - Request a Variance from Section 174-31 of the Zoning By-laws for permission to vary the setback requirements on corner lots in an R-5 zoning district on property located at 95 Shields Road (Map 38, Block 18) Mashpee, MA.
