MASHPEE ZONING BOARD OF APPEALS MEETING MINUTES APRIL 22,2020 Mr. Furbush mentioned that he viewed the lot and wanted to know about the vegetated buffer along the fence area that separates the proposed lot and the neighbor's chicken coop. He read footnote (14) Section 174-31 and asked Kevin Kirrane to comment. Mr. Kirrane said that the site plan depicts 19 ft. from the lot line to the row of evergreens. He said that his client would be prepared to vegetate that 10 ft., but said it is part of the lot and was left natural. He cannot determine what is on the other side of the fence. Jonathan asked if the fence was on the lot line.Mr.Kirrane said according to the engineered site plan it is not on the lot line, but he's not a surveyor. Mr. Bonvie asked Jonathan if there was a motion made would he want wording to mention that there is a minimum of a 10 ft. vegetative area with no structure within it.
