MASHPEE ZONING BOARD OF APPEALS OCTOBER 24, 2012 • MINUTES dwelling on property located in an R-3 zoning district within the Popponesset Overlay District at 6 Deans Hollow Road (Map 117 Parcel 72) Mashpee, MA. Sitting: Board Members Jonathan D. Forbush, William A. Blaisdell, Ronald S. Bonvie, James Reiffarth, and Judith M. Horton. Attorney Kevin M. Kirrane, John Slavinsky from Cape & Islands Engineering, and designer Timothy Luff represented the Petitions. Attorney Kirrane stated that plans call for demolition of the existing structure which was constructed in the 1950's. Assessed value of the land is over $600,000, while the dwelling is only assessed at $45,000. The existing non -conforming structure does not conform to the sideline setback requirements. The proposed new dwelling will remain at 21 % lot coverage, but will conform to the side setback requirements. It will also conform to the height requirements of the Popponesset Overlay District. Attorney Kirrane pointed out that the proposal will conform to current building code requirements and is superior to the existing building. He stated that the design is compatible with the changing character of the neighborhood. Attorney Kirrane said that the proposal will add substantial value to the property and will be an enhancement to the neighborhood. The Conservation Commission has approved extensive installation of environmentally friendly landscaping on this property as well as on the abutting property. An Order of Conditions was issued on September 10, 2012. This landscaping will significantly improve overall site conditions and diminish impacts on the surrounding properties, neighborhood, and wetlands. Board of Health comments: Limited to 3 bedrooms. Need 2°d floor plans to check number of bedrooms. Den or 1" floor needs 6 -foot cased opening. Board of Health will check at time of issuance of building permit Mr. Harold Cloran, an abutter at 2 Beach Road, said that Deans Hollow Road consists of gravel with only one small storm drain in front of the subject property. He expressed concern that potential runoff from the property might worsen the flooding situation. Mr. Slavinsky said that the combination of the four dry wells and the landscaping will contain the water on the property. Mr. Slavinsky gave Mr. Cloran a copy of the landscaping plan. Mr. Reiffarth commented that it appears the proposal will not increase the current flooding problem. Mr. Bonvie made a motion to grant a Special Permit. This Decision is conditioned upon compliance with the following: • Cape & Islands Engineering plan entitled: Proposed Site Plan Prepared for William Power Hse. No. 6 Dean's Hollow Mashpee, Mass.
