MASHPEE ZONING BOARD OF APPEALS DECISION FOR A WRITTEN FINDING John F. Gavin and Terese J. Gavin 150 Pimlico Pond Road (Map 2 Parcel 136) Mashpee, MA 02649 FINDING-2019-34 The Board asked why a bathroom is needed in the detached garage. Mr. O'Connell said that the homeowner collects antiques, and it would be more convenient since there's quite a distance between the house and garage. Chairman Furbush said that the Board is concerned with sleeping quarters outside the house. There would be no issue if the garage was attached. Mr. Goldstein noticed that the bathroom is located on the first level. Mr. O'Connell said it's a high bay garage so there is no second level. The entire roof structure is made up of trusses, and the only portion that has any high aspect is in the middle which would be to accommodate a boat. There is no second floor. Mr. O'Connell referred to page G2.0 of the house plan that above the middle bay door is higher and extends 18 ft. to the top of the window. There will be an open area with light for the cupola. The other two sides above the smaller doors are fully trussed over. Mr. Goldstein asked if there will be corrugated concrete on the walk-out on the lower level. Mr. O'Connell said in the back of the garage is a retaining wall. The door leads to the side yard. The Board had a conversation and has no issues regarding the type of heating source in the garage. The Board had permitted a similar application in the past that specified the fuel source. Mr. O'Connell said that he intends to fully insulate and install an efficient heating source, and requested that there is no limit of the type of fuel source. The Board read the Town Department comments into the record. GENERAL CRITERIA: The subject property located at 150 Pimlico Pond Road is approximately 50,694 square feet. There were no more comments from the Board or audience. WRITTEN FINDING CRITERIA: ARTICLE V -Nonconforming Buildings and Uses: 2
