MASHPEE ZONING BOARD OF APPEALS MEETING MINUTES MAY 8,2019 OTHER BUSINESS Informal Requests: 123 Tide Run: Steve Cook, Cotuit Bay Design to discuss the revised site plan regarding the approved Variance, Case No.: V-2019-19. Steve Cook, Cotuit Bay Design represented the current owners. The Board issued a Variance on March 27, 2019, and the application was heard at the Conservation meeting the following day, and it was determined that the area to expand the deck was previously designated as a planting area when the house was constructed. The owners were not aware, and did not complete the project for the order of conditions and certificate of compliance. Conservation would not approve the expansion towards Jehu Pond. So that project was abandoned, and the homeowners decided to expand the deck over the existing patio with the new plantings. This change is not getting any closer to Jehu pond, and just filling in the section of the deck and stairs over the existing patio. The lot coverage changed slightly. The Board requested that if there were any changes to the plan,would require the submittal of a revised plan. The original plan dated 4/11/18 is null and void. The revised plan had a revision date of 4/11/19. Norman asked if the project was approved by Conservation. Steve said an order of conditions was issued, and said that the plantings need to be installed. Chairman Furbush polled the Board and determined it's an administrative change,and does not affect the approved Variance. Mr. Furbush would like to confirm that the revision date on the plan can be approved, and to confirm that the administrative approval made by the Board is sufficient with the Building Commissioner. The Board read the Town Department comments into the record. 351 Monomoscoy Road: Tim Luff, Archi-Tech Associates to discuss §174-45.4 Accessory Apartments, Item C as it pertains to the location of a proposed accessory apartment. Mr. Tim Luff, Archi-Tech Associates provided the Board with a plan. Also present were Richard and Barry Sahl,the owners of the property.Mr. Luff had a conversation with Mike Mendoza to get a better understanding of the accessory apartment bylaw as it relates to the unit size. Mr. Luff brought a list of questions to ask the Board. His original thought was to perhaps build onto that garage and put in the apartment and connect the garage to the house. He asked Mike what would satisfy a connection of the garage to the house. Could the connection be a breezeway that's open, or would the connection have to be something that is enclosed and has an entry. Mike referred him to the ZBA and was not comfortable to answer that question.Mr. Luff knows that a formal application to the ZBA will be required, and he will provide sufficient plans. He reviewed the bylaw requirements with the Board. 4
