All were in favor of the project, and determined the application is a minor modification to the 2014 Special Permit. 16 Westwood Road: Owners, Louis J. and Debra A. Columbo, Trustees, request a Written Finding under §174-17 of the Zoning Bylaws to raze and replace a single-family dwelling on property located in an R-3 Zoning and Popponesset Overlay District, (Map 117 Parcel 194), Mashpee, MA. Mr. Kevin Kirrane represented the applicants for the raze and replace project. He provided the Board an outline narrative and photos of the existing structure and similar structures in the neighborhood. The site is a 7,500 square foot comer lot. The existing dwelling was built in the early 1950s, and includes a deck and porch and is approximately 1,214 square • feet. There is also a small shed consisting of 98 square feet. The total lot coverage on the site is 1,312 square feet, or 17.5% of the site. The site is located in an R-3 Zoning District and in the Popponesset Overlay District. The front yard requirements are reduced from 40 feet to a front yard setback of 25 feet. The existing structure is non -conforming in two respects. The non -conformity relates to the front yard setback from Uncle Percy's Road which is 24.8 feet, therefore making it less than 5.5 feet, and is 8.8 feet from the Northeasterly property line, and 24.8' from Uncle Percy's Road. There are two front yards. In addition the current structure and use of the property is serviced by an antiquated cesspool, and part of the development plan for the site would be a new Title 5 septic system. The new structure will be situated on the lot in a location that now results in all conforming setbacks. It will conform to the 25 ft. setback from Uncle Percy's Rd, and will conform to the 15 ft. foot rear or side yard setbacks on the Northeasterly property line. The structure is a little bigger than previously exists and will consist of 1,476 square feet, plus the shed which results in a total lot coverage of 19.7% and is still within the 20% lot coverage allowed under the provision of the bylaw. The Board must determine that the proposed new structure is substantially less detrimental to the neighborhood than what currently exists. In addition, the site plan demonstrates that there is sufficient area to accommodate two parking spaces and conforming setbacks. The septic plan was submitted to the Conservation Commission. • Mr. Furbush read the Conservation Comments into the record; "property lies within the Flood Zone A requires permitting."
