PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE CONTINUED HEARINGS Katharine F. and Brown Lineainfelter: Request 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 construct a small addition and detached boathouse with two bedrooms on property in an R-3 Zoning District at 65 Seconsett Point Road (Map 124 Parcel 14-0-R) Mashpee, MA, at the request of the Attorney, continued from July 24, 2013 public hearings. Attorney Brian Wall, and John Slavinsky from Cape & Islands representing the applicants stated the Lingamfelter's own the property and have an existing dwelling with a detached garage on the property and are adding a boathouse with two bedrooms on the second floor, with a new Title V Septic System. On July 24, 2013, Attorney Brian Wall presented the project to the Board and established the property has non -conforming structures and a non -conforming lot. He stated the project is not more substantially more detrimental to the neighborhood than the existing structures and uses. The hearing was continued because the Board wanted clarification of the architectural and floor plans and also had concerns regarding the one lane road. Brian stated he reviewed the assessors' map and the road provides adequate access to 36 properties. He stated the proposed project would not cause any additional demands on the roadway and his client is not creating a new lot or dwelling. The project is to add onto the current single-family dwelling and build a boat house. He stated the property is adequate for emergency access and is beyond the purview of the Board of Appeals to address and is a matter for the Planning Board. He stated the Planning Board reviews applications and has the authority for new sub -divisions whether it's carving out one or two lots or whether it's a full blown sub -division. The Planning Board looks at "suitability" of the road, i.e. adequate width, grades, and drainage to support traffic.
