MASHPEE ZONING BOARD OF APPEALS <br /> MEETING MINUTES <br /> MAY 22,2019 <br /> The front setback is currently 26.1 ft.,and will be extended to 27.2 ft. The side yard setback <br /> is currently 7.8 ft.,and is extending to 9.8 ft. The wetland setback is 34 ft.,and will improve <br /> to 40.7 ft. The current lot coverage is 23.8% and is being reduced to 23.6%. The Board can <br /> determine under the existing bylaw whether or not any new non-conformities are being <br /> created. There are no new conformities being created, and that the new structure is a <br /> substantial improvement rather than a substantial detriment to the neighborhood as it is <br /> proposed. The structure will conform to current day building and flood plain code criteria <br /> so that construction will be an improvement to the neighborhood in the event of any <br /> significant storm events. He provided the Board with architectural plans prepared by <br /> Architect Associates. <br /> Jonathan Furbush, Chairman mentioned that he has some concerns raised by the Board of <br /> Health that he read into the record. "The new foundation is 2 ft. closer to the septic tank <br /> and SAS than the existing one. Therefore, the setbacks to the septic system require Title V <br /> variances with abutter notifications. The variance review will require board approval. The <br /> septic system has been inspected. The floor plans were reviewed and are acceptable for <br /> four bedrooms. " <br /> Attorney Kirrane was informed of these comments late in the afternoon the same day, and <br /> he consulted with the engineer and building designer. The engineer followed up with Glen <br /> Harrington with an email late in the day just before the meeting. Mr. Kirrane said there <br /> were two scenarios discussed that would address these particular concerns without the need <br /> of variance relief from the Board of Health. There is an ability to put sheathing along the <br /> front of the foundation with impervious material, and there is also the possibility of canter <br /> levering a portion of the dwelling in that area over the foundation so that the foundation is <br /> still beyond the 2 ft. without getting 2 ft. closer. There is also the possibility of creating a <br /> crawl space in that area rather than a full basement with the sheathing. These are the <br /> solutions that can be addressed during the construction. Glen may have not had the <br /> opportunity to respond to that email from Tom Bunker, BSS Design. <br /> Board Member, Ron Bonvie said in his opinion that the discussion regarding the <br /> impervious material would probably not need to return to this Board. The question is if <br /> there is a change to the canter lever of the foundation design, thus the footprint would be <br /> different, and as one member this might require the applicant to return to the Board. The <br /> variance would be with the Board of Health. <br /> Mr. Kirrane said that the front yard setback criteria will not change. It would merely be <br /> that the foundation would be further away with the canter lever. <br /> Sharon read the Conservation and DPW comments into the record. <br /> Charlie Maintanis, Building Inspector wanted to be certain that the new home meets the <br /> building code,height restrictions, and flood zone criteria. <br /> 2 <br />
