MASHPEE ZONING BOARD OF APPEALS APRIL 25, 2012 • AGENDA accessory apartment without a bedroom. Mr. Reiffarth reminded Ms. Hanlon that the Board discussed at the previous meeting that one of the bedrooms on the first or second floor would need a six-foot wide cased opening and that the bedroom in the apartment would remain.
