<br />33 Sturgis Lane: Owners, John Weigel, IV and Linda S. Smith, Trustees request a Special
<br />Permit under §174-17.1 of the Zoning Bylaws to raze and replace an existing single family
<br />dwelling on property located in an R-5 Zoning District, Map 20 Parcel 28, Mashpee, MA.
<br />
<br />Attorney Keven Kirrane represented the applicants for the raze and replace project. He
<br />provided a site plan and highlighted the location of the existing structure. The lot itself is
<br />44,057 sq. ft. and has very little frontage along the road, and accesses the property over an
<br />easement of an abutting piece of property. The parcel is situated in the R-5 Zoning District
<br />which requires 80,000 sq. ft. and 150 ft. of frontage. The existing building is a two
<br />bedroom, single story ranch that was built back in 1930. It qualifies as a non-conforming
<br />structure with proximity to the wetland resource area. There is a shed and an accessory
<br />dock on the lot which boarders to the East of Mashpee Pond. The inland bank represents
<br />the rear boundary line, although the existing structure meets the 15 ft. rear yard setback it
<br />fails to meet the 50 ft. setback from the wetlands.
<br />
<br />The proposal is to construct a new two story three bedroom home with a footprint of
<br />approximately 1,948 sq. ft. The new structure will not meet the 50 ft. setback criteria from
<br />the wetlands, but improves the non-conformity of 22 ft. which increases it to approximately
<br />34 ft. The new structure will comply with current zoning requirements. There are no new
<br />non-conformities created. The only non-conforming condition is relates to the setback from
<br />the wetlands which is improving. The project was approved by the Conservation
<br />Commission, and includes some extensive storm water management and mitigation
<br />plantings. A garage is part of the re-development plan, and is setback enough from Sturgis
<br />Lane, so there is more than adequate parking. No Variance is required for this project.
