PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE NEW HEARINGS Marian Oost-Lievense: Requests a Written Finding under M.G.L. Chapter 40A Section . 6 and Section 174-17 of the Zoning By-laws regarding continuance, extensions or alterations to allow for construction of an addition to a non -conforming, single-family dwelling structure on property located in an R-3 zoning district within the Popponesset Overlay District at 2 Kim Path (Map 117 Parcel 250) Mashpee, MA. Sitting: Board Members Jonathan D. Furbush, William A. Blaisdell, Ronald S. Bonvie, James Reiffarth, and Judith M. Horton. Attorney Kevin M. Kirrane represented the Petitioner, who also attended the meeting. He submitted an outline of his presentation along with photos of the subject property. The property consists of 6,500 square feet of land with frontage on Kim Path and Uncle Percy's Road. The non -conforming, single -story, three-bedroom, 1,505 square -foot dwelling does not meet the side and rear setback requirements. Setback on one side is 9 feet and setback on the other is 8.7 feet from the abutting properties. Existing lot coverage is 23.2%. The proposal calls for construction of a small 50 square -foot addition to the rear of the dwelling. This will create two small bedrooms and extra space in the kitchen area. A portion of the expansion will replace the shower and shed structures attached to the rear of the dwelling. Efforts to minimize any increase in lot coverage include plans to remove one foot along the entire rear length of the existing deck. The proposal will not be closer to the sideline setbacks. The proposal will increase lot coverage by a mere .7 of 1%. Attorney Kirrane said that the de minimis increase in lot coverage is not substantially more detrimental than what currently exists. Adequate parking and sufficient setbacks are provided. . The property is within the buffer zone to freshwater wetlands. On October 10, 2012, Engineer Jack Landers-Cauley filed a Request for Determination of Applicability with Conservation, which is scheduled for the October 25, 2012 Public Hearings.
