MASHPEE ZONING BOARD OF APPEALS <br /> Paul Tragiannopoulos <br /> 593 Main Street <br /> Mashpee,MA 02649 <br /> Finding of Fact: FoF-2011-29 <br /> 2. The Subject Property is located in an R-5 Residential Zoning District. <br /> 3. In 2010, the Zoning Board of Appeals granted the Petitioner a dimensional <br /> variance which would allow for construction of a hobby shop/garage on the <br /> Subject Property. Construction of the garage was recently halted,leaving a 7-inch <br /> slab on the ground. <br /> 4. The Petitioner is currently using the Subject Property to operate a vehicle/heavy <br /> equipment metal refinishing and refurbishing business. Said business entails the <br /> delivery to and storage of large vehicles, heavy commercial and industrial <br /> equipment on the Subject Property and the use of power tools, sandblasting <br /> equipment and other equipment used to remove rust,paint and other finishes from <br /> said vehicles and heavy equipment, and to repaint and refinish said vehicles and <br /> equipment. <br /> 5.

The Petitioner's vehicle/heavy equipment metal refinishing and refurbishing <br /> business operates very differently than that of a builder, carpenter, painter, mason <br /> or other similar artisan because it requires sandblasting and other similar <br /> operations which produce substantial noise, vibrations, and emissions of odors, <br /> dust, fumes, smoke and other noxious components, including lead paint, into the <br /> environment. <br /> 10. The Petitioner's vehicle/heavy equipment metal refinishing and refurbishing <br /> business has a much larger impact on traffic in this residential area than that of a <br /> builder, carpenter, painter, mason or other similar artisan because of the frequent <br /> 2 <br />
