NEW HEARINGS Stephen M and Constance R. Goulet: Request a Special Permit and Finding of Fact under Sections 174-17 and 174-20 of the Zoning By-laws and M.G.L. Chapter 40A Section 6 for permission to demolish a pre-existing, non -conforming structure and replace it with construction of a single-family residence on property located in an R-3 zoning district at 207 Monomoscoy Road (Map 114 Parcel 59) Mashpee; MA.
