MASHPEE ZONING BOARD OF APPEALS FEBRUARY 8, 2012 • MINUTES The ZBA office informed the Petitioner that the Board would need accurate figures of the total square footage of the home, the square footage of the accessory apartment and the percentage of the square footage of the accessory apartment in comparison to the principle residence. Ms. Hanlon said that the total square footage of the home is 3,500 square feet and the square footage of the accessory apartment is about 1,000 square feet. Although the Board of Health meeting had been canceled, Health Agent Glenn Harrington was in Conference Room #2 and agreed to join the ZBA meeting. Mr. Harrington confirmed that the dwelling contains five bedrooms. He also assured the Board that Assistant Health Agent Ronnie Warden's memo is correct — the leaching facility was designed to accommodate a four-bedroom dwelling. Mr. Harrington said that the Petitioner is not limited to four bedrooms; the leaching facility limits the number of bedrooms to four. At Ms. Hanlon's request, Mr. Harrington reviewed the original septic plan and application. Mr. Harrington said that the Petitioner would either have to add onto the leaching field or eliminate one of the bedrooms by enlarging the doorway.
