Joia: Request a Variance under Article VII §174-31 (Land Space Requirements) of the Zoning By-laws to vary the rear and side setback requirements to locate a shed in an R-5 Zoning District at 49 Somerset Road, (Map 16 Parcel 11), Mashpee, MA. (Continued from September 25, 2013 hearings). Arthur Joia represented himself stated there was a misprint regarding his request for relief. He is seeking a variance for the front and side setback rather than the rear. He stated he received a variance for his garage and moved it within 3.3 feet of the sideline and is asking for the same variance for his shed. He stated his property extends around a circle and has 55 feet to the front comer where he would like to place the shed. His lot is on a cul-de-sac and the radius encompasses the road in front of his house and makes it very difficult to meet the front setback. He stated he is seeking relief of the front. Mr. Morgan mentioned to Mr. Joia that an updated engineered stamped plot plan should depict the shed closer to the house. Mr. Joia did not consult with an engineer and asked for a continuance until the next hearing dated October 23, 2013. The Board continued the hearing pending an updated plot plan from a certified engineer and requires a decision by October 25, 2013. Mr. Blaisdell made a motion to continue Arthur R. and Darlene E. Joia request for a Variance under Article VII § 174-31 (Land Space Requirements) of the Zoning By-laws to vary the rear and side setback requirements to locate a shed in an R-5 Zoning District at 49 • Somerset Road, (Map 16 Parcel 11), Mashpee, MA, which has been continued from September 25, 2013, to tonight and will continue until October 23, 2013.
