The 2008 Variance granted on this property has lapsed. 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 October 7, and October 14, 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 October 26, 2011. The following members of the Board were present and acting throughout: Board Members Robert G. Nelson, Jonathan D. Furbush, William A. Blaisdell and Ronald S. Bonvie, and Associate Member Judith M. Horton. The Mashpee Zoning Board of Appeals issues this Decision pursuant to the provisions of Massachusetts General Laws Chapter 40A §10 and the Town of Mashpee Zoning By-laws. Mrs. Maureen Ferris and Mr. Richard Nugent represented the Petition. Mrs. Ferris stated that the 2008 Variance and Special Permit granted by the Board on the subject property lapsed due to the failing economy. She stated that she and her husband recently sold their home in Southborough and can now proceed with their demolition and reconstruction plans on the subject property. The existing dwelling will be demolished and replaced with a new single-family home. The new dwelling will remain within the same footprint that the Board approved in 2008. Proposed lot coverage of the new dwelling will only be 15.5%. The proposal also meets the rear and side setback requirements. The Petitioner is requesting relief from the frontage requirements to allow for the proposal. Mr. Nugent said that the only changes that have been made to the proposal are within the interior of the home. The Board recommended that the Petitioner verify the October 23, 2013 expiration date of the open Order of Conditions with the Conservation Commission. The Board also advised the Petitioner to notify the Board of Health of the revised plans.
