Assessor's Map 119 Parcel 1 D, Mashpee, MA. Mr. Kieran Healy, Land Surveyor with the BSC Group represented the owners for the proposed garage project. He provided a narrative, a plot plan, and building plans that depict the existing and proposed conditions of the lot that is situated on Waquoit Bay. The existing house and the side deck is non -conforming due to the side setback of being only 13.5' from the side lot line instead of the 15' requirement. The applicant is proposing to add an addition for a garage with living space above onto the existing home. The Board needs to determine if the addition would increase the non -conforming nature of the building. The project was approved by the Conservation Commission and the Board of Health. Jonathan read the Board of Health comments into the record; "The septic and floor plan • have been approved for three bedrooms. This is considered an increase in flow from 2 to 3 bedrooms. The opening to the living room/office is only 5 feet. The BOH regulation for bedrooms is six feet so the new room above the garage can be considered a bedroom."
