MASHPEE ZONING BOARD OF APPEALS DECISION FOR A SPECIAL PERMIT Owners, Jack Foster and Allyson Poole-Foster and Lauren C. Foster New Seabury Properties 98-3, LLC 31 Wheelhouse Lane and 5 Waterline Drive North (Map 120 Parcel 165 and 171) Mashpee, MA 02649 SP-2021-13 The site plan depicted the proposed 4' x 4' platform supported with posts, and a 3 ft. wide stairway and will be utilized with a bottom anchored float. There will be a ramp which will be constructed from that stairs and platform to the bottom anchored float which will be removed during the winter months as required by the Harbormaster. The variance request is because the platform is located close to the coastal bank at 13 ft. off the rear lot line which is measured from the mean high water lot line. Under §174-25 (H) (7),these type of complexes are permitted even though there is no primary residential use on the property. It is not a commercial undertaking, there are no proposed sanitary facilities, and there are no coverage issues. The variance request is for the setback relief from the wetland resource areas. The Board read an email into the record dated February 24, 2021 from the Building Commissioner that this project will require a building permit because it's over 30 inches in height. There were no more comments. In view of the foregoing, the Board determined the Petitioner met the criteria for a Special Permit.
