MASHPEE ZONING BOARD OF APPEALS DECISION FOR A SPECIAL PERMIT James R. Sprezel 14 Bowsprit Toint(Map 105 Parcel 224) Mashpee, MA 02649 SP-2020-15 The lot itself is a combination of two lots shown on a couple of land court plans. The lot is just over 18,000 sq. ft. and was built back in the 1980's and currently has four bedrooms as shown on the photos provided. There is also a cabana that basically provided another bedroom. There is also an accessory pool and dock complex shown on the site plan. The new structure will contain four bedrooms but will not have a cabana. There will be an attached garage and swimming pool surrounded by patio blocks. The lot is situated in the R-3 Zoning District, and requires 40,000 sq. ft. of lot area, and 150 ft. of frontage. This lot is non-conforming because it does not meet those two criteria's, and in addition, it allows for a maximum lot coverage of 20% and a building height of 35 ft. Section 174-17.1 allows for a raze and replace project upon the grant of Special Permit relief by the Zoning Board of Appeals. The Board must find that there is no new non- conformities in connection with this project; that the proposed project is not substantially more detrimental to the neighborhood than the existing conditions, and there is sufficient land area for parking. The proposal also includes a garage, and currently there is no garage on site. The two non-conformities were eliminated. The dwelling will be setback the proper distance from the sidelines as well as the wetlands. The proposed lot coverage is 19.54% which is below the allowed 20%. The new construction will meet current day codes, and there is a new septic system that is part of this complete raze and replace project. The project has been approved by the Conservation Commission, and the Board of Health comments said that it requires approval by their department prior to issuance of a building permit. Tom Bunker said that the non-conforming side setback has been eliminated, as well as the rear setback to the wetlands.There will be a new septic system installed.
