Mashpee Zoning Minutes <br />Board of Appeals March 10, 2010 <br />Mrs. Ann Flaherty who lives in Westwood and owns property in Mashpee said that this <br />• was a nice cottage community that was peaceful at one time. She felt that it was a <br />"wonderful place that was being devastated with these big houses and it's a shame that <br />it's gone the way it has." She thanked the Board for listening to the abutters' concerns. <br />The Board acknowledged that the Petitioner has made sincere efforts to satisfy the <br />Board's demands for revised plans in an effort to mitigate abutters' complaints. At this <br />and previous Public Hearings, the Board listened to lengthy arguments presented by the <br />Petitioner's representatives and carefully considered abutters' objections regarding <br />excessive building height and lot coverage. The Board also read several letters and <br />emails from abutters into the official Minutes.
