MASHPEE ZONING BOARD OF APPEALS APRIL 9, 2014 MINUTES • The existing home does not have the proper setback from Monahansett Road and believes he is 8.5 feet from his neighbor and needs 10 feet with the existing foundation. He is not extending any closer to his neighbor. Mr. Forbush asked about the existing stoop at the front door. Mr. Joe stated it will be replaced by a fanner's porch. He stated the existing stoop is about 2.5 feet, so will be 2.5 feet closer to the street than what currently exists. He stated that by removing the deck will avoid being in the flood zone and is elevation 12, which is well above the wetlands and flood zone. Mr. Goldstein asked if he is keeping the shed. Mr. Joe stated the shed is in great shape and encroaches a little on his neighbor's property line. Mr. Furbush said he can keep the shed but asked Mr. Joe to move it 5 feet from the lot line.
