All were in favor. 13 Treasure Lane: The applicant requests a Written Finding under §174-17 in an R-3 Zone to allow for construction and alterations of an existing deck, sunroom, and kitchen expansion. Mr. Steve Cook, owner of Cotuit Bay Design represented the Petitioners, Dan and Margaret O'Neill who own the pre-existing, non -conforming cottage that is situated to the right side of the 10,000 square foot lot, and has a close slopping drop off in the back yard. The existing structure has a wrap-around deck with an attached greenhouse in the rear. The proposal is to remove the greenhouse and add a kitchen addition with an interior stairway so the homeowners can access their basement and utilities. The proposal also includes to extend the deck ten (10) feet and follow the existing structure line but will be closer to the lot line 8.3 feet. The proposal requires a variance on the right side due to the typography of the lot. The existing lot coverage is 17.6% and they are requesting 17.8%. Mr. Blaisdell read the Board of Health Comments into the record; "The footings to the deck cannot impact the existing leaching pit. No comments for the finished space addition." Mr. Bonvie asked if "hats" are required on the bottom of the footings of the deck. Mr. Mendoza stated as long as the sono -tubes are a minimum of 10 inches. The "big foot" would only be required if there are engineering issues or soil conditions deem it necessary. Mr. Cook will set the beam back two (2) feet from the edge of the deck for clearance. Margaret O'Neill, homeowner, said she spoke to her neighbor and they had no issues with the renovations.
