NEW HEARINGS Sitting in on this hearing are the four regular Board members and Associate Member, Sharon Sangeleer. 164 Ninigret Ave: Owners, David W. Nichols and Debra L. Nichols request a Written Finding under §174-17 of the Zoning Bylaws to allow for construction of a second floor addition to a pre-existing, non-conforming single family residence on property located in an R-3 Zoning District, Map 65 Parcel 85, Mashpee, MA. Attorney Kevin Kirrane represented the owners for the Written Finding request. He provided his written presentation that includes the site plan and photos of the existing conditions. The property is a non-conforming lot consisting of approximately 7,400 sq. ft., and 6,250 sq. ft. which is upland. The site is bounded on two sides by a street or a way, however, the way to the West, Sakonnet Drive which boarders John's Pond and other properties are utilized by most of the property owners. That street has never been developed and suspects it will never be developed. The parcel slops significantly from East to West as it drops toward Sakonnet Drive and John's Pond. The existing structure is a single-story ranch style home with a walk-out basement and a first floor deck. The structure is non-conforming as it fails to meet the existing front yard setback requirements from Ninigret Ave., and the side yard setback. The application request is for a second-story addition which is within the footprint of the existing building and attached deck. So there is no increase in the non-conforming aspect of the structure. This structure sits about 26.2 ft. from Ninigret Avenue, 14 ft. on the Northerly sideline, and 9 ft. from the Southerly side line. 1
