Bornstein: Request a Variance from Section 174-31 of the Zoning By-laws to vary the lot coverage requirements to allow for construction of a shed on property located in an R-3 zoning district at 4 Pine Avenue (Map 123 Parcel 35) Mashpee, MA. Sitting: Board Members Robert G. Nelson, Jonathan Furbush and William Blaisdell, and Associate Members Peter Hinden and Ronald S. Bonvie. Mr. Thomas Quinn represented the Petitioner. The Board granted the Petitioner Variance relief in 2008 to allow for construction of the home. Placement of the shed is restricted by the small size of the lot, which consists of only 5,000 square feet of land. The proposed shed would be used to store trash bins, bicycles and other items to tidy up the yard. The topography of the lot steps down approximately 3.5 feet in grade with a stonewall surrounding the entire back portion of the lot with a drywell under the patio area. The shed will be constructed with the same material and shingles and color of the home for an aesthetically -pleasing appearance. In response to correspondence from an abutter concerned with the appearance of the shed from Pine Avenue, Mr. Quinn said that the Petitioner would be amenable to installing cedar trees to shield the shed from the street. The shed will not be installed on a foundation but will be properly supported on blocks. Mr. Quinn explained that the plan shows the original lot coverage before demolition as 25.8%. The proposed foundation coverage was 24.6%. The as -built is 24.2%. The proposed lot coverage with the foundation and the shed is 25.6%, 1% larger than the original approved lot coverage. Mr. Quinn said that a direct abutting neighbor approved of the Petitioner's removal of a dilapidated wall between the two properties. The Petitioner rebuilt the entire wall along one side of the property and lined the area with 12 to 14 cedars. Mr. Quinn said that the • Petitioner has spent a great deal of money on landscaping and stone work and that the shed would fit in with the tastefully manicured lawn and home.
