MASHPEE ZONING BOARD OF APPEALS FEBRUARY 13, 2013 • MINUTES Attorney Kirrane stated that the 20 foot front setback as well as the 30 foot setback to the wet -land area is more than adequate setbacks. He suggested that there is certainly adequate parking for this two bedroom dwelling. Mr. Furbush questioned the back deck above and thought the proposed deck was lower than the other deck. Attorney Kirrane said it is just an extension. The deck is above ground and there's a patio. He further mentioned it was the narrowest portion of the building, and the deepest portion of the deck. The extra space is necessary to put a table and chair. That's the intent of that expansion. Attorney Kirrane stated that most of the area is in a flood zone. Designer Timothy Luff mentioned that the new addition will have the appropriate flood panels. This is an A Zone and the water has to be able to enter and exit the criteria of one square inch per square foot. That will be on the foundation plan which will be used for storage. ' The bedroom is being removed and the Board of Health requested the door removed. • Tim answered; the addition will have an impervious membrane around its regular tank.
