Motion made by Russell Maloney to amend-, I would like to amend Article 9 to read the third Monday in October for the Annual Town Meeting. Motion to amend passes at 7:�54 p.m.. Amended motion passes unam I mously at 7:55 p.m., Article 10 To see if the Town of Mashpee will amend the zoning bylaw, by adding following new footnote 21 to Section 174-31 Land Space Requirements Table: "21" For non-conforming structures in existence on December 9, 2002 in districts R-3 & R-5, which do not exceed 10,000 square feet in area, but have at lease 75 feet of lot frontage, minimum setbacks may be reduced to 25 feet front, 15 feet rear and 10 feet sides. "And by inserting a reference to footnote 21 at the head of"Minimum Building Setback to Lot Lines"' column of said table, or take any other action relating thereto. Submitted by the Zoning Board of Appeals Explanation: Residents within these districts with undersized lots will significantly benefit from this less stringent zoning. Allowing these changes will not be more detrimental to the neighborhood as the sideline, frontage and lot coverage was similar at the time of the home's construction. This will eliminate the need of variances for small additions and/or alterations. Motion made by John Cahalane. Motion: I move Article 10 be indefinitely postponed. Motion passes unanimously at 7:57 p.m. Article 11 To see if the Town will vote to amend the zoning bylaw by amending the Section 174-31 "Town of Mashpee — Land Space Requirements Table" by replacing the number "20" in the C-1 row under the "Maximum of Lot Coverage (percent)" column with the number "25", or take any other action relating thereto. Submitted by Board of Selectmen Explanation: This article would increase allowed lot coverage by buildings in the C-1 Commercial zoning district (the commercial zone around the Mashpee Rotary) from 20% to 25% of a lot's area. 25% was allowed in the C-1-0 and C-I-SV overlay zoning districts (covering about one-third of the C-1 zone) which were eliminated by Article 22 of the October 7, 20o2 Town Meeting warrant. The article would restore that level of lot coverage and would extend it to the remainder of the C-1 zone, which includes primarily Mashpee Commons, the recently- ,approved South Cape Village shopping center and the Deer Crossing commercial area.
