Bellis and Susan E. Dacey-Bellis: 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 a new single family dwelling on property located in an R-3 Zoning District at 150 Waterway, (Map 105 Parcel 237), Mashpee, MA. Attorney, Kevin Kirrane representing the applicants, Donald and Susan Bellis, for the raze and replace project. He provided the Board a written narrative, a land court plan, and pictures of the job site. He stated that Tim Luff, of Archi-Tech Associates will be available to answer any questions regarding the proposed plans of the new dwelling. The property currently exists on 17,500 square feet with 100 feet of -frontage and is a pre- existing non -conforming lot. Mr. Kirrane provided the Board a subdivision plan of Waterway showing the boundary on Popponesset Creek. There has been significant substantial changes in typography of the lot that drops off from Waterway down to the water as shown in the photographs. The current building was constructed back in the late 1960's with "texturized 111" sheathing and was consistent with other homes in the neighborhood, but is out of character with current homes. The Bellis' have handicapped children, one of whom is confined to a wheelchair so they would like to install an elevator. The option to retrofit the existing building for handicap accessibility is not practical with the design of the current home.
