findings. For the purposes hereof, compliance with dimensional requirements shall be determined by the Building Inspector, or take any other action relating thereto. Submitted by the Zoning Board of Appeals Explanation: Many times, projects that comply with the zoning setback requirements have to go before the Zoning Board of Appeals because the existing home does not comply with the zoning setbacks. This amended Bylaw will give the Building Inspector the ability to review and evaluate the need to go before the Zoning Board of Appeals. If the proposed work is in compliance with the setbacks for that zoning district, then there would be no need for the applicant to appear before the Zoning Board of Appeals and the project can proceed expeditiously. The Board of Selectmen recommends Town Meeting approval by a vote of 4-0-1 (abstention). The Finance Committee recommends Town Meeting approval by a vote of 7-0. After a public hearing held on October 3, 2018, The Planning Board voted 5-0-0 not to recommend approval of Article 17. Motion made by Selectman John Cahalane. Motion: I move the Town vote to approve Article 17 as printed in the Warrant, with the exception of the phrase, "or take any other action relating thereto." Motion is defeated at 10:19 PM. Article 18 To see if the Town will vote to amend §174-33 of the Zoning Bylaws by deleting the language in its entirety and replacing it as follows: § 174-33 Setbacks from Water and Wetlands Any building or structure, exclusive of fixed or floating piers, wharves, docks, bridges or boardwalks, shall be set back from water or wetlands as the Conservation Commission shall determine in accordance with Chapter 172 of the Town of Mashpee General Bylaws, or take any other action relating thereto. Submitted by the Zoning Board of Appeals Explanation: Chapter 172 of the Town of Mashpee General Bylaws already addresses this with a review by the Conservation Commission. Applying to the Zoning Board of Appeals for relief, which has already been granted by the Conservation Commission is just a duplication of the approval process. 19
