Barrow, Trustee: 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 at 10 Fells Circle (Map 122 Parcel 214) Mashpee, MA. Sitting: Board Members Jonathan D. Furbush, William A. Blaisdell, Ronald S. Bonvie, James Reiffarth and Judith M. Horton. Mr. Thomas J. Bunker of BSS Design represented the Petition and submitted revised site and architectural plans along with photos of the property. The dwelling is non- conforming because it encroaches into the setback to Fells Pond Circle and the setback to water and wetlands. It conforms to the side, front and lot coverage requirements. Plans call for a one-story addition of 6x16.33 feet to expand the living room. Proposed lot coverage will increase from 16.62 % to 17.2%. Mr. Bunker said that the proposal is not substantially more detrimental than what currently exists and is comparable with other • homes in the neighborhood. The subject property is in Zone 11 and the Board of Health has restricted the dwelling to four bedrooms. A septic inspection is required prior to issuance of the building permit. The Conservation Commission approved the proposal on August 23, 2012 and issued an Order of Conditions on September 11, 2012. No comments were received from abutters. Mr. Bonvie made a motion to grant the Written Finding. Specific Findings: the proposal is not substantially more detrimental than what currently exists due to the following: • The proposal will be an improvement to the home. • The proposal is compatible in size and character with other homes in the neighborhood. • There is sufficient parking. • There are sufficient setbacks as the Board may require. This Decision is conditioned upon compliance with: • BSS Design Plans entitled: Plot Plan Proposed Addition at 10 Fells Circle, Mashpee, Massachusetts Prepared for Stephen Barrow. • Giampietro Architects plan entitled: Addition & Alterations to: the Barrow • Residence, 26 Fells Circle, New Seabury, MA.
