MASHPEE ZONING BOARD,OF APPEALS <br /> DECISION FOR A WRITTEN FINDING <br /> Kathleen P. Bragdon& Joseph C. Imbriani, Trs. <br /> 20 Elliot Road(Map 118 Parcel 115) <br /> Mashpee, MA 02649 <br /> FINDING-2015-17 <br /> Mr. Furbush had a question regarding the grade of the back elevation on the house <br /> plans. Ms. Bonoli approached the Board and explained that she updated the drawing that <br /> will depict a light well to the lower level, and an exterior stairwell showing the grade line <br /> beyond the 6 foot wall that goes across. This wall is a retaining wall and is considered part <br /> of lot coverage. Ms. Bonoli will revise the plans as requested by the Board. The other <br /> question the Board had is the oversized cupola. Mr. Bonoli referenced the #4 footnote in <br /> Section 174-31, of the Zoning Bylaws regarding the height restrictions. The Board argued <br /> that it's too large and should be significantly reduced because it is considered part of lot <br /> coverage and the Board would like to discuss with Town Counsel. The Board would also <br /> like to see that dry wells are installed when the applicant applies with the Board of Health. <br /> Mr. Mendoza said the focus should be on the site plan, and any contractor knows <br /> that the Board of Health has to approve the project prior to issuance of a building permit. <br /> The Board accepted the continuance subject to revising the plans regarding, the lot <br /> coverage, the Board of Health filing and dry wells, and the dimensions of the cupola. <br /> On June 10, 2015, Mr. Kevin Kirrane returned to represent the applicants on the <br /> continued hearing regarding the proposed dwelling. Also present was Denise Bonoli, <br /> Architect. As mentioned at the previous hearing, the Board had some questions regarding <br /> lot coverage due to a well that was created in the rear for access to the basement, and an <br /> issue regarding the cupola situated on the roof. The original plan depicted a concrete wall <br /> and stairway approximately 8 feet that would allow access to the lower level basement <br /> area. The Board was concerned the proposed concrete wall constituted a structure and <br /> would increase the lot coverage.Mr.Kirrane provided and updated plan that depicts a much <br /> shorter and smaller landscape timber with planting beds and has been designed as four feet, <br /> and a door on the back side of the stairwell area. The concrete wall has been removed and <br /> substituted with a landscape feature. At the last hearing, the Board suggested that the roof <br /> line be lengthened and that the cupola be reduced to a 6' x 6' dimension. <br /> Mr. Bonvie read the Board of Health comments into the record; "Board of Health <br /> Comments: Title V design plan has been submitted in draft form to the BOH. Plans will be <br /> finalized for review and approval upon ZBA approval per engineer. Plans are in draft form <br /> due to no perk tests. BOH approved draft plans. Property is OK with three bedrooms. <br /> Floor plans are OK." <br /> Mr. Bonvie read the Building Commissioner's comments into the record; "They <br /> are going with timbers now which is a change from cement. I would make a condition that <br /> this area cannot have a roof or ever be enclosed or used as a base for a foundation." <br /> F <br /> 2 <br />
