Esper Map 114 Parcel 92 11 Childs Road Registry of Deeds Title Reference: Mashpee,MA 02649 Book: 25301 Page: 134 A Petition was filed on April 7, 2011 by Raymond P. Esper for a Finding of Fact under Section 174-17 to allow for construction of a hip roof and to increase the size of an existing porch onto a pre-existing, non-conforming dwelling on property located in an R- 3 zoning district at 11 Childs Road(Map 114 Parcel 92)Mashpee, MA. 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 April 22, and April 29, 2011 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 May 11, 2011. The following members of the Board were present and acting throughout: Board Members Robert G. Nelson, Jonathan D. Furbush, William A. Blaisdell, James Reiffarth and Associate Member Ronald S. Bonvie. 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. Mr. Carl De Lorme represented the Petition and stated that the new owner of the property is currently making renovations to the home. The building permit calls for roof, window, door and sidewall replacements, along with a kitchen remodel. The new deck will fit neatly on top of the existing cement patio, with an overhang of just an additional 18 inches. Mr. De Lorme said that the proposed installation of cement tubes to support the foundation under the porch will provide for a better and safer construction. The proposed hip roof will be extended to cover the porch. Lot coverage will increase from 30.9 to 31.8%. Encroachment into the setback from Childs Road would increase from 16.1 feet to 14.6 feet. The small shed on the property is approximately 6 x 8 feet. Mr. Nelson noted that an abutting home is much closer to the street than the 14.6 feet of this proposal. He commented that the extension of the roof over the porch makes sense from an aesthetic point of view and will fit in with the rest of the renovations. Mr. De Lorme agreed and said that the Petitioner is trying to make the limited space more functional and complementary. A crumbling brick chimney, an old outside shower and a decaying cement patio in the rear, along with several dilapidated trees, were removed from the property.
