MASHPEE ZONING BOARD OF APPEALS MINUTES JULY 25, 2012 • Professional Engineer and President of Falmouth Engineering, Michael Borselli represented the Petition. Due to a previous violation in which the Petitioner failed to obtain a building permit prior to completing renovations, the Petitioner is now required to obtain ZBA approval for any renovations made on the subject property. The property consists of 4.5 acres bordering Mashpee Pond. Due to their growing family, the Petitioner is looking to expand one of the three pre-existing, non -conforming structures on the property. Plans call for renovations to the first floor, removal of the roof and construction of a second floor. There will be no increase in the footprint. • A new Title 5 septic system will replace an old cesspool which is located in close proximity to Mashpee Pond. The Conservation Commission approved the proposal. The Order of Conditions is expected to be issued within the next few days. This proposal is subject to review and pending comment from Natural Heritage and Endangered Species. Per the Board of Health, this is not in a Zone II and plans have been submitted for a new leaching facility to accommodate a five -bedroom dwelling. Mr. Bonvie said that he was unable to find Bakers Road and expressed concern that the Fire and Police Departments would also have difficulty finding the road. He said this was definitely a health and safety issue and suggested installation of a road sign. After some discussion, Building Commissioner Richard Morgan said he would ensure that the street sign/road identification issue is resolved to the satisfaction of Fire, Police, Building and D.P.W. No comments were received from abutters. Mr. Bonvie made a motion to grant the Written Finding. Findings: proposal is not substantially more detrimental than what currently exists due to the following: proposal will be an enhancement to the property; installation of a new Title 5 septic system will be an improvement to the property. This Decision is granted to the house on the property situated closest to Mashpee Pond. This Decision is conditioned upon compliance with Falmouth Engineering plan entitled Plot Plan for #30 Baker's Road Prepared for Peter Dobyns in Mashpee. Plan Date: June 10, 2012.
