MASHPEE ZONING BOARD OF APPEALS MEETING MINUTES MARCH 24,2021 Scott and Linda Thorp represented themselves for the proposed project. They would like to build a 15 ft. x 18 ft. room extending off the existing kitchen with a slider door that will replace the existing deck. They wanted to know if they could put in a four foot foundation, but will need to be determined by the Board of Health because of the septic system. As depicted on the house plan,there will also be a roof deck above the new room that will extend from an existing bedroom. The new room will have four windows in the front and three on the side with the doors and two windows in the back. There will be a railing above to match the doors below. Chairman Furbush had no issues and polled the Board for comments. Jim Reiffarth, no comments; George wanted to make sure the height was not an issue. Charlie read an email dated March 24, 2021 from the Conservation Department that the project is not within wetlands jurisdiction. He also read an email dated March 24, 2021 from Glen Harrington, Board of Health Agent into the record. "If the sunroom addition is on sono tubes then no variance is required from BOH.If a footing or cellar wall is proposed then a new variance must be sought due to the new distances to the septic tank. It looks like there will be a 6' opening to the sunroom which is preferred." Mr. Furbush explained to the applicants if they prefer to pour a 4 ft. foundation,they would have to discuss this with the Board of Health and the Building Commissioner, and may have to return to the ZBA. Mr. Blaisdell explained that the Variance request would be from the Board of Health, and not the ZBA. He also explained that the lot coverage is depicted as 16.7% to 17.3%.
