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 August 7, 2020 and August 14, 2020. The Mashpee Zoning Board of Appeals issues this Decision pursuant to the provisions of Massachusetts General Laws Chapter 40A §9 and the Town of Mashpee Zoning By-laws. Public Hearings were held (remote/virtual) on the Petition at the Mashpee Town Hall on Wednesday, August 26, 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, Norman J. Gould, Scott Goldstein, and Associate Member, George Ganzenmuller. Attorney Michael O'Shaughnessy represented the raze and replace application for a Special Permit and Variance. Also present was Steve Cook, with Cotuit Bay Design. The existing site plan depicts a 624 sq. ft. house. The setback on the easterly side of the lot is currently 14.1 ft., and a distance of 56.4 ft. on the front yard setback, and a dimension of 16.4 ft. and 18.3 ft. from John's Pond to the concrete pad. The proposed house is approximately 1,500 sq. ft. with a deck in the rear. The house is shifting westerly toward John's Pond to increase the side yard setback to 16 ft. to make it more conforming with Zoning. The front yard setback is 48.1 ft. to the front steps and complies with Zoning, and the side and rear yard setbacks complies with Zoning. The Conservation Commission has no issues, and the Board of Health submitted comments relative to the demo permit. The reason for the Variance request is because the house is being shifted toward John's Pond to a dimension of 16 ft. The other reason is the stairway in the rear is within the 50 ft. buffer. The elevation on one side is 27 ft. and 32 ft. on the other side because of the grade change. This structure will result in an improvement to the lot, and is consistent with current Zoning. 1
