CONTINUED HEARINGS 317 Great Neck Road North: Owners, James and Nancy Mayou request a Special Permit under §174-45.4 of the Zoning Bylaws to allow for an accessory apartment on property located in an R-5 Zoning District, (Map 52 Parcel 20), Mashpee, MA. Nancy and James Mayou returned to discuss their case. Nancy said that the Building Commissioner went to measure their house, and she had taken pictures to show the space. She provided the Board with two floor plans titled A and B as options to correct the issue concerning the extra bedroom in the apartment, and the high percentage of the floor area that is not allowed under the bylaw. Mr. Mendoza passed out the pictures of the apartment and described the layout as it relates to the floor plans A and B. He said that this is a basement apartment that is pre-existing, and the homeowners would like to rent it out to their son. They are here to make it legal. At the last meeting,the Board requested that the applicants setup an appointment with Mr. Mendoza to take a look at the accessory apartment, and assist the applicants with their case. He said that the building is 24' x 46' x 2 which is 2,208 sq. ft. It is over the 40% of that is 883.2 sq. ft. and is over right now by 220.8 sq. ft. He brought the two options to the Health Agent,who submitted a letter that the homeowners either remove the wall between the two bedrooms, or make a 6 ft. opening. But there is still a problem with the 40% rule. Her son made a point that if they make one of the bedrooms into a storage area that would be sufficient. Nancy said that the last bedroom closest to the furnace next to the bathroom would be the better option to make a 6 ft. opening. The Board discussed the options and asked the applicants if they were satisfied with the adjustments to their floor plan. 5
