The Mashpee Zoning Board of Appeals issues this Decision pursuant to the provisions of Massachusetts General Laws Chapter 40A §9 and the Town of Mashpee Zoning By-laws.

Gould, and Associate Member, Sharon Sangeleer. Also present was Building Commissioner, Michael Mendoza. Mr. Steve Cook, Project Designer with Cotuit Bay Design represented the Torney family for their raze and replace project. The existing house was built in 1962 and does not have insulation. The existing house foundation consists of concrete blocks and sits on a 10,000 sq. ft. lot with 100 ft. of frontage. The Tomey's would like to build a new home that will meet current building code requirements,and that will accommodate their growing family. The proposed new dwelling will be a single story home with a full basement. The front yard setback is 35.2 ft. and includes the average of the house next door and the vacant lot on the other side which is 31.2 ft. The side setback on one side is 19 ft. and the other side is 22.7 ft., so this project will meet the setbacks. The rear is 36.9 ft. The current lot coverage is 13.6%,and the proposed will be 13.8%which is within the requirement.A new septic system will be installed versus the existing cesspool. The Town adopted this new bylaw back in October 2018 for raze and replace projects.This particular project falls under that bylaw for a Special Permit. The Board must find that the proposed reconstruction of a new dwelling will not be substantially more detrimental to the neighborhood than what currently exists, and there will be plenty of parking as required. 1
