MASHPEE ZONING BOARD OF APPEALS MEETING MINUTES MARCH 28, 2018 The current zoning is 150 ft. of frontage, which means this application would require a 50 ft. variance. The typography and soil conditions of the lot relative to the fact that a good portion of this lot is now marshland and a need to locate the septic system in the front of the building certainly grants enough factual data for the Board to grant relief from both the front yard setback and the wetlands. Mr. Kirrane in his closing remarks said that this lot is the last undeveloped lot,and believes that because the Planning Board approved the 1981 plan is a contributing factor to the current situation of this lot. There were several letters of support from the neighbors for the variance relief. Mr. Coffee approached the Board and read his letter into the record.He is hoping to become the new homeowner of 31 Amy Brown Road. He commented on the condition of the road being a hazardous for travelling. Mr. Bonvie said he spent time discussing this situation with the Building Commissioner. He said in his opinion that there was a time when an ANR plan depicted some zoning compliance. He said in the last several years,the Planning Boards no longer stamp the plan but doesn't mean it's considered a buildable lot, or meets the minimum requirements. He wanted clarification on this. The Town Planner said that an ANR Plan from the Planning Board does not endorse a lot's buildability. Mr. Bonvie is more concerned about the comment sent by the Fire Chief, and a house being located on this lot. Mr. Bonvic read the letter dated March 27, 2018, from Fire Chief Thomas C. Rullo into the record stating he is against the proposed variance, Mr. Bonvie suggested the applicant meet with the Fire Chief and discuss the situation regarding the road condition. Mr. Bonvie said; as one member of the Board, he would be in favor of the proposal if the Fire Chief is satisfied and submits a letter to the Board,and constitutes a plan that the Board agrees upon, and Counsel seeks a Variance. Mr. Gould agreed with Mr. Bonvie's comment, as well as Vice Chairman Bill Blaisdell, and Chairman Furbush, all agree with Mr. Bonvie's comment. Attorney Kirrane would like to continue the hearing until he has a conversation with Fire Chief Rullo. Mr. Bonvie made a motion to accept the applicant's request for an extension until April 11, 2018 for both the Variance and the Appeal. Mr. Gould seconded, yes, Mr. Furbush,yes,Mr. Blaisdell, yes, and Mr. DeBarros, yes. All were in favor of the continuance until April 11, 2018. 7
