Ronhock Pg.: 279 104 Degrass Road Mashpee, MA 02649 A Petition was filed on June 1, 2021 by Owners, Michael J. Ronhock and Teresa A. Ronhock requesting a Special Permit under §174-17.1 of the Zoning Bylaws to allow for a raze and replace of a pre-existing, non-conforming two bedroom dwelling, and replace it with a new three bedroom dwelling and a detached garage on property located in an R-3 Zoning District, at 104 Degrass Road, Map 104 Parcel 18, Mashpee, MA. 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 May 28, 2021 and June 4,2021 a copy of which is attached hereto and made a part hereof. 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 on the Petition at the Mashpee Town Hall on Wednesday, June 23, 2021 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, Ron Bonvie, Scott Goldstein, and Norman J. Gould. Mike Ronhock represented himself for the raze and replace project. The existing structure was built in 1968 and is currently in compliance with the setbacks, so there are no non- conforming situations except for the frontage. The new building will be set in the same footprint and will comply with all setback criteria. The proposed lot coverage is 5%. The current building has a cement block foundation, and is not safe enough to add any new construction. He submitted letters from his abutters in support of his project. There was a new four bedroom septic system installed. The Board of Health Agent commented that he could expand the septic system to allow for a fifth bedroom capacity. The Board had a discussion regarding the detached garage on the site plan that noted a future accessory apartment, but did not depict the setback distance line from Parcel 1. The Board also reviewed the architectural plans, and questioned the craft's room having a 4 ft. cased opening.After review,the Board decided to continue the hearing requesting a revised site plan to depict the setback distance from the garage to Parcel 1. They also requested a revised architectural plan because the Board of Health Agent would most likely request that the craft's room depict a 6 ft. opening. 1
