MASHPEE ZONING BOARD OF APPEALS Robert F. and Carol L. Rano 5 Forest Road Mashpee, MA 02649 V-2012-9 Specific Findings: 1. The Board determined that a literal enforcement of the provisions of the By-law would involve substantial hardship, financial or otherwise, to the Petitioner due to the following: • unique circumstances relating to soil conditions restrict location of the septic system and the addition on the subject property; which especially affect such land or structure, but do not affect generally the zoning district in which it is located. 2. The Board determined that desirable relief may be granted without substantial detriment to the public good and without nullifying or substantially derogating from the intent or purpose of such ordinance or By-law due to the following: • the proposal will increase lot coverage on the subject property from 14.2% to 16.6%, well below the 20%maximum. • that the proposal will be an attractive improvement to the existing dwelling. • that the proposal is comparable to renovations made to neighboring homes. In view of the foregoing, the Board determined that the Petitioner met the criteria for grant of a Variance. Upon motion duly made and seconded at the Public Hearings on March 28, 2012, the Zoning Board of Appeals voted unanimously to grant a Variance of 4.3 feet from the side setback requirements. This Decision is conditioned upon compliance with the following: • Christopher Costa & Associates, Inc. plan: Robert F. and Carol L.
