Notice was duly given to abutters in accordance with Massachusetts General Laws Chapter 40A. Notice was given by publication in The Mashpee Enterprise, a newspaper of general circulation in the Town of Mashpee, on May 25, and June 1, 2012, a copy of which is attached hereto and made a part hereof. Public Hearings were held on the Petition at the Mashpee Town Hall on June 13, 2012. The following members of the Board were present and acting throughout: Board Members Jonathan D. Furbush, William A. Blaisdell, Ronald S. Bonvie and Judith M. Horton. The Mashpee Zoning Board of Appeals issues this Decision pursuant to the provisions of Massachusetts General Laws Chapter 40A §9 and the Town of Mashpee Zoning By-laws. Steve Cook, Project Designer and owner of Cotuit Bay Design, LLC, represented the Petitioners, who also attended the meeting. The subject property is a corner lot in the Popponesset Overlay district with 25-foot front setbacks on Shore Drive and Greenwood Road. After gutting the inside of the dwelling, the previous owner did not perform any further work on the structure. Mr. and Mrs. Giannaros are looking forward to using the dwelling as a summer residence. Plans call for extensive remodeling of the interior of the home. The front deck will be torn down and replaced with a covered porch. The rear deck will be improved with installation of new supports and will be reduced by 6 feet. Second floor dormers will be added to the front of the house to allow for more ceiling height on the second floor. The existing shed in the back corner of the lot will be replaced with a slightly larger 8x10-foot storage shed. Two new stone driveways will be installed. The building height will be 29 feet from grade, including the cupola. There will be no habitable space in the cupola. Extensive landscaping is also proposed. No comments were received from abutters.
