Connolly Doc. #: 504860 5 Seconsett Island Road Cert. #: 120304 (Map 119 Parcel 13) Mashpee, MA 02649 A Petition was filed on June 29, 2018 by Owner, Patricia A. Connolly requesting a Variance under §174-31 and §174-33 (Setbacks from water and wetlands) of the Zoning Bylaws to allow for construction of a detached garage on property located in an R-3 Zoning District, at 5 Seconsett Island Road, Map 119 Parcel 13, Mashpee, MA. Notice was duly given to abutters in accordance with Massachusetts General Laws Chapter 40A.Notice was given by publication in The Mashpee Enterprise, a newspaper of general circulation in the Town of Mashpee, on July 27, 2018 and August 3, 2018 a copy of which is attached hereto and made a part hereof. Public Hearings were held on the Petition at the Mashpee Town Hall on Wednesday, August 22, 2018 at which time the following members of the Board of Appeals were present; Chairman, Jonathan Furbush, Board Members, Ron Bonvie, Scott Goldstein, and Associate Members,Norman J. Gould and Sharon Sangeleer. Also present was Building Commissioner, Michael Mendoza. The Mashpee Zoning Board of Appeals issues this Decision pursuant to the provisions of Massachusetts General Laws Chapter 40A §10 and the Town of Mashpee Zoning By-laws. Attorney, Kevin Kirrane represented the application and provided the Board with a revised house plan that was drawn by Steve Cook,Cotuit Bay Design who was also present. Mr. Kirrane said this project is a straight forward request. The lot has 46,670 sq. ft. with over 400 feet of frontage along Seconsett Island Road. The lot is oddly shaped triangular lot, and bounded by water on two sides. The applicant is proposing to construct a 20 x 22 ft. single-car garage with an office, game room and half bath above. Due to the design of the residence, the location of the septic, and other pertinent site conditions, the garage has been located on the northerly side of the dwelling because the lot is severely impacted by the velocity zone. There was no other place to locate the garage because there's a Town owned drainage easement that creates a wetland from which the proposed structure will sit only 33 ft. That is the reason for the Variance request from the 50 ft. setback criteria. Mr. Furbush read the Board of Health, and DPW comments into the record. 1
