(Continued from October 9, 2013 hearings). Mr. Joia presented an updated site plan as the Board requested which depicts the property and area that he proposed to place the shed. The plan was not stamped and will be contingent upon Board approval. Mr. Joia stated he has a hardship with the rear of the property due to the location of the septic system. He stated the updated septic will require 11' x 32' along with a reserve area of 11' x 32' with no room available for the shed and would require a Variance for this project. He stated he is requesting to place the shed in the left side front section. He moved the shed closer to the garage approximately 5.2 feet and is seeking relief for this area. Mr. Furbush asked if there would be a foundation. Mr. Joia stated there will be no foundation, it's an existing shed that he moved from another location that has an 8 X 8 railroad tie skirt around it and sits on the ground and is not bolted down. Mr. Morgan stated he made a site visit and suggested to place the shed as close to the garage as he possibly could and put a gate or a fence around the area to make it esthetically uniform between the house and garage. Mr. Bonvie made a motion to issue a Variance under Article VII § 174-31 (Land Space Requirements) of the Zoning By-laws to vary the front and side setback requirements to locate a shed in an R-5 Zoning District at 49 Somerset Road, (Map 16 Parcel 11), • Mashpee, MA.
