Mashpee Zoning Hubert Krock 3 • Board of Appeals Barry and Janet Krock 3 SP -09-01 current by law to the coastal banks. The Conservation Commission has approved the applicants request conditioned on the full approval from the Zoning Board of Appeals. There is also adequate parking area for vehicles and the setbacks are not greater than what currently exists now which is part of the criteria necessary for the granting of a Special Permit. All the abutters appearing at the hearing are in opposition to this house being built for lot coverage reasons and for drainage reasons. The Rock Landing Park Association is a neighborhood Association where all lot owners own common area in and around the beach area. They generally are against the proposed lot coverage of 30%. They have suggested a compromise of 22-23% lot coverage due to the small lot size and the fact that many of their own dwellings are in the vicinity of 23% lot coverage. They also express concerns about environmental impacts with improper drainage being a problem now with • the flooding they experience and they feel the size of this dwelling would be very detrimental to the neighborhood as proposed. The house has been empty for 25 years. They also feel the proposed roof line will negatively impact the drainage situation there. Michael Talbot, of Talbot Associates, landscape designer and horticulturist i addresses the Board. He informs the Board that sandplane grass plant will be planted to help with the drainage situation as is depicted in his landscaping plan submitted to the board and conservation. Paul Dardano and Walter Dardano are present and reiterate their written concerns verbally to the Board. Also present is Frances Parsons who reiterates her concerns. John Slavinsky, Cape & Islands Engineering answers questions from the Board and addresses the abutters concerns. French drains will be installed which are trenches with stones and do not contain a pipe so that the water will be spread out and this will help with the run-off. The existing driveway is making the drainage worse, and they are proposing to re -grade it. He also addresses the concerns of the neighbors regarding the • removal of the stairs. They are on association property and were installed by Mr. Krock.
