Chapter 40A §6 concerning alteration of a pre-existing, destroyed or damaged non -conforming structure to raze and replace a garage on property located in an R3 Zoning District at 40 Bayview Road, (Map 119 Parcel 48), Mashpee, MA. Steve Cook, Cotuit Bay Design representing the Petitioners at 40 Bayview Road. The Granfield's own an existing garage and storage building on the property. The garage is old and dilapidated that dates back to the 1940's. They are requesting to tear down the rear section of the garage. The cross section is concrete block and no footings, two car garage with a truss roof system on the rear section. It's a pre-existing, non -conforming structure. The proposal is to build a game room area on the first floor behind the garage with a bathroom, and stairway to a second floor loft. It's currently a one story structure and will become a story and a -half The footprint is pulled back 9 inches from the rear side, with a • 100 foot buffer zone from the top of the coastal bank. The greenhouse will be torn down and that footprint will become a screened porch. 17� Mr. Furbush read the Board of Health comment, dated December 4, 2013; "The game room is not considered a bedroom because it has no privacy. There are doorways from the garage, side and rear. Steve Cook said that you cannot enter into a bedroom through the garage. The loft space above is open to below with an open stairway so that is not considered to have privacy. If the ZBA wishes to restrict the structure with a deed restriction, I would support that. The septic is only built for three bedrooms." The existing lot coverage is 25%, and proposed 24.9%. The structure will be 4.5 feet close to the lot line. Mr. Blaisdell made a motion to approve Kevin and Christine Granfield, request for a Written Finding under §174-17 of the Zoning By-laws and M.G.L.
