MASHPEE ZONING BOARD OF APPEALS JULY 9, 2014 MEETING MINUTES • Mr. Furbush asked if the elevation is 11 feet showing Zone A14. The plans do not show the overall height. Mr. Morgan said the flood zone changed and he will need confirmation of the overall height from the engineer and architect. Mr. Goldstein wanted to know if the amount of steps indicated on the plan are considered part of the lot coverage. If more than two steps, it should be included and looks tall. According to Kevin, he believes it should be included if the first floor elevation is 15 feet. The shed is also included. Mr. Kirrane stated he will have the engineering plans updated to show the actual dimensions. Mr. Furbush read the Board of Health comments into the record; "Floor plans show a proposed three-bedroom dwelling and one bedroom above the proposed garage. Existing septic is new in 2011 for four bedrooms. BOH approves proposed floor plans." Mr. Furbush read Conservation comments into the record; "approved the application". Mr. Bonvie made a motion to issue a Written Finding to Kristen Van Beek for the proposed application of the raze and replace project. The following concerns and questions need to • be addressed prior to issuing a building permit; the height of the main building, the railing on the stairs, the front porch railings and the patio added to the lot coverage on the plan and not exceeding 20%. Also making the motion, the Board finds that the dwelling is not substantially more detrimental than the existing non -conforming structure. The new dwelling will be an improvement and conform to current building code requirements, is compatible in size and character to other structures in the neighborhood and there is sufficient parking and setbacks as may be required. This is contingent upon and updated plot plan by BSS Engineering or confirmation by Mr. Kirrane that the additional lot coverage calculations are included on what was submitted. Mr. Furbush needs updated house plans as well. Mr. Blaisdell seconded, yes, Mr. Furbush, yes, Mr. Jodka, yes, Mr. Goldstein, yes. All were in favor.
