MASHPEE ZONING BOARD OF APPEALS Willowbend Country Club, Inc. 69 Shoestring Bay Road Mashpee, MA 02649 V-2012-23 General Findings The subject property is located at 69 Shoestring Bay Road and consists of 1.12 acres of land. Specific Findings: 1) The Board determined that a literal enforcement of the provisions of the By-laws would involve substantial hardship, financial or otherwise, to the Petitioner due to the following: • the unique soil conditions with the presence of 8,380 square feet of wetlands on the parcel. • the unusual configuration of the parcel. • the presence of several easements totaling 3,875 square feet on the parcel. 2) The Board also determined 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 because of the following: • the proposal will meet the frontage, front, side, rear, setback and lot coverage requirements. • the proposal will be an enhancement and is similar in nature to other homes in the immediate neighborhood. In view of the foregoing, the Board determined that the Petitioner met the criteria necessary for grant of a Variance. Upon motion duly made and seconded, the Zoning Board of Appeals voted unanimously at the Public Hearings on April 25, 2012 to grant a Variance of 3,581 square feet from the land space requirements to allow for the proposal. This Decision is conditioned upon compliance with Vanasse Hangen Brustlin, Inc. plan dated July 15, 2005: Lot 36 Shoestring Bay Estates Willowbend Country Club, Mashpee, MA. 4 2
