MASHPEE ZONING BOARD OF APPEALS AUGUST 27, 2014 MINUTES Jonathan read the comments from Board of Health into the record; "Septic plan to change tanks to H-20 loading due to driveway alignment was approved on July 21, 2014." Jonathan read the comments from Building Commissioner into the record; "Proposed garage is not 40 feet from the road (is short 25 feet) and is within the VI 7 Flood Zone". Mr. Mendoza stated the V zone at elevation 16 and is a building code issue. Mr. Furbush stated that if the value of the structure renovation is 40% more than it has to be raised. Jonathan read Stephen Mone, Harbormaster comments into the record; "The Harbormaster requires that the dock/floats including I OA floats must be updated to black hard plastic encapsulated block flotation and all the foam/Styrofoam be removed and disposed of properly. This will help eliminate the issue of storm bourn debris on our bays, lakes and rivers. Also that the street address must be permanently and clearly displayed with minimum of 3" block letters with contrasting color at end of pier/piling for emergency purposes, and in addition to the owners address be permanently affixed on all floats and ramps with 3" block letters with contrasting color. Otherwise, The Harbormaster has no issue with this plan." Mr. Blaisdell made a motion to approve Leslie Caffyn's request for 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 822 sq. ft. addition on property located in an R-3 Zoning District at 10 Popponesset Island Road, (Map 105 Parcel 267A), Mashpee, MA.
