The Mashpee Zoning Board of Appeals issues this Decision pursuant to the provisions of Massachusetts General Laws Chapter 40A §6 and the Town of Mashpee Zoning By-laws. Public Hearings were held on the Petition at the Mashpee Town Hall on Wednesday, February 12, 2020 at which time the following members of the Board of Appeals were present and acting throughout;Vice Chairman,William Blaisdell,Board Member,Norman J. Gould, and Associate. Members, Sharon Sangeleer, George Ganzenmuller, and James Reiffarth. Steve Cook, Cotuit Bay Design represented the petition for a modification. This project was approved at the hearings on March 27, 2019 for a new addition and screen porch on the right side of the existing house. The house is also in a flood zone, and would have to meet flood zone requirements. After pricing out the project, the addition and the screen porch are over 50%of the assessed market value of the house,and since it's in a flood zone would require lifting the house and pouring a new foundation, etc. The plan dated December 12,2018 shows the new addition with the screen porch,and the plan was revised January 15, 2020. The screen porch was removed from the project to drop the value below the 50%of the market value to eliminate the extra expense of bringing the house out of the flood zone. Steve said that the only change to the plan is the side yard setback was originally 25.5 ft., and it will be 35.5 ft. The house is still pre-existing non-conforming in the front. Sharon read the Conservation Comments into the record and was approved. 1
