PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE NEW HEARINGS Michael E. and Alveia Markowski: Request a Written Finding under Article V §174-17 • of the Zoning By-laws and M.G.L. Chapter 40A §6 concerning continuance, extension or alteration of a pre-existing, non -conforming structure to allow for construction of an existing deck and garage addition on property located in an R-5 Zoning District at 47 Redwood Circle and 51 Redwood Circle, (Map 27 Parcel 98 & 99), Mashpee, MA. Attorney, Kevin ICirrane represented the homeowners of the referenced property 47 and 51 Redwood Circle. Mr. Kirrane presented plot plans, building plans, and photographs of the dwelling located in the Mashpee Shores subdivision situated off Route 130. This subdivision was approved by the Planning Board back in the 1970's at the time when the minimum lot size was 12,500 square feet and there was no Mashpee and Quashnet River protective zoning district. The current lot requirements are now 80,000 square foot, 40 feet to the front, 15 feet along the sides and rear. As a result, the structure at this site constitutes a non -conforming structure. The Wetlands Protection Act had a substantial impact on what can and cannot be placed on the lot. This lot is actually two building lots which have been combined into one single building lot. Mr. Kirrane provided the Board with a copy of the land court plan that depicts lots 14 and 15 originally approved by the Mashpee Planning Board. This lot, based upon the plans submitted, is approximately 28,145 square feet and within 50 feet of resource areas which is also a non -conforming aspect of the structure. Section 174-17 of the Bylaw permits additions to pre-existing, non -conforming structures. • In this particular case, the two proposed modest additions consist of a 151 square foot living space over a portion of the existing deck and reconstruction of the garage that will consist of 581 square feet and needs serious repair.
