Masci Bk.: 26573 (Owner of Record: Susan Masci) Pg.: 159 6 Quaker Run Road (Map 83 Parcel 214) Mashpee, MA 02649 A Petition was filed on November 8,2019 by Frank Masci requesting Variance relief from the side yard setback under §174-31 of the Zoning Bylaws to allow for construction of a shed on property located in an R-3 Zoning District, at 6 Quaker Run Road, Map 83 Parcel 214, Mashpee, MA. Notice was duly given to abutters in accordance with Massachusetts General Laws Chapter 40A. Notice was given by publication in The Mashpee Enterprise, a newspaper of general circulation in the Town of Mashpee, on November 15, 2019 and November 22, 2019 a copy of which is attached hereto and made a part hereof. The Mashpee Zoning Board of Appeals issues this Decision pursuant to the provisions of Massachusetts General Laws Chapter 40A §10 and the Town of Mashpee Zoning By-laws. Public Hearings were held on the Petition at the Mashpee Town Hall on Wednesday, January 8,2020 at which time the following members of the Board of Appeals were present and acting throughout; Chairman, Jonathan Furbush, Vice Chairman, William Blaisdell, Board Members, Ron Bonvie, Scott Goldstein, and Associate Member, Sharon Sangeleer. Mr. Masci represented himself for the Variance relief for his shed. He read a letter dated November 10, 2019 from the builder of his home. His builder recommended a specific location for the 16' x 26' shed because of the topography of the lot, and that the property boarders two roads. Mr. Masci also read letters of approval from his abutters. Mr. Masci said that the shed will be set on an angle, and only a corner of the shed will be within the 15 ft. setback but will still be 5 ft. from the property line. It's a heavily wooded area and he wants to keep the landscaping the same. The project will require a regular building permit because of the size of the shed and is required to be 15 ft. setback from the property line. However, there's a steep slope in the rear of the property which is considered a hardship under the Variance criteria. Sharon read the Conservation comments into the record. Charlie Maintanis said that the land will probably require to be excavated because there cannot be Sono tubes out of the ground. 1
