• MASHPEE ZONING BOARD OF APPEALS MAY 8, 2013 MINUTES 185 Wading Place Road: Minor Modification to Written Finding 2012-32 Attorney Kevin M. Kirrane, stated he is representing Mr. and Mrs. William Wade, the owners of the property at 185 Wading Place Road. In regard to the letter dated May 1, 2013, requesting a minor modification to the finding raze and replace project at this particular address. It appears there was miscommunication between the designer of the structure and the site plan designers. Basically, the proposed structure is actually larger than the foundation on the site plan that was originally approved by the Board as part of raze and replace project. It was not discovered until after the new foundation had been installed and determined the design of the home is too large. As a result, we . are asking for a modification to the original approval that essentially adds about 2 feet on the northwesterly side of the structure and is highlighted in yellow on the site plan and labeled as "proposed addition". This "proposed addition" will be aligned with the design of the structure that was brought originally before the Board and instead of being 26 feet from Bluff Avenue, it will now be 23.7 feet from Bluff Avenue. We also show a proposed • addition on the easterly side of the structure that was also shown on the original plan that was approved, but we only bring this to the Board's attention because instead of being 19.3 feet off the sideline, it will now only be 15.5 feet off that sideline; which meets the 15 foot requirement and compliant with the by-law. In essence, the addition of approximately 2.3 feet on the northeasterly side of the structure has an impact of bringing the structure about a tenth of a foot closer to the rear side of Wading Place front yard to be 16.7 feet as opposed to 16.8 feet. The redesign of the house would be 2 feet narrower than what was originally proposed. Also, the proposed addition will be on a crawl space not a full foundation because it is just being added to what is currently there. Bill Blaisdell asked Kevin if he is in agreement that both Bluff Avenue and Wading Place Road would be considered as front. Kevin stated, yes. Mr. Furbush read an email into the record addressed to Mary Ann Romero, dated Thursday, May 2, 2013. "]just took a ride by the property and checked out the progress. The only thing that has been installed is the foundation. I am happy the owner came forward at this point rather than wait to tell as after the house had been finished. I have checked the only info I have or could find regarding "Substantial " changes to a project. This info comes from "760 CMR "Dept. of Housing and Community Development. This is what we use regarding "40B "projects, and it addresses • 2
