MASHPEE ZONING BOARD OF APPEALS JULY 8, 2015 • MINUTES Mr. Healy was very appreciative with the staff at the Town Hall saying they were very helpful! 17 Cape Drive: Owner, Seventeen Cape Drive Mashpee, LLC request a Written Finding under §174-25 (K) to allow for construction of a 16' x 26' storage shed to be used for storage of construction tools and equipment on property located in a C-2 Zoning District. Assessor's Map 55 Parcel 20, Mashpee, MA. Mr. Keith Shaw presented the application and has been the owner of the property for the past two years. He said his construction management company occupies fifty percent of the building, and has tenants occupy the rest of the building. He would like to construct the shed for storage of construction tools and equipment on the property rather than off-site. Mr. Shaw noted that the shed will be constructed on sono -footings with a "big -foot" base. Mr. Mendoza addressed the Board stating he was trying to determine the correct use in the bylaw for this application because the zoning district does not allow a contractor's yard, and this is not the intent of the project. The intent is really for storage use, and there was nothing close in the bylaws that suits this description. He suggested that the Board make conditions that comply with the intent, i.e., no heavy equipment, no construction trucks, etc., and to make guidelines for this use. The other question was, would the Board feel that this use would require a special permit? Mr. Shaw stated he will be storing safety equipment and tools. The shed will have an overhead door, and the floor of the shed is 2.5 feet off the ground so a truck can back up for loading and unloading. Mr. Furbush read a comment from the Board of Health into the record; "No issues with this proposal." Mr. Furbush read comments from the Inspections Department into the record; "The area is zoned C2. Applicant seeking a Written Finding under §174-25 (K) if the Use is allowed in the proposed shed and if said Use would require a Special Permit." Mr. Bonvie made a motion to approve the project with the following conditions; The Board has determined that the applicant meets all the conditions of a Written Finding under Mass General Law 40A Section 6. 2.
