The Mashpee Zoning Board of Appeals issues this Decision pursuant to the provisions of Massachusetts General Laws Chapter 40A Section 10 and the Town of Mashpee Zoning By-laws. Arthur Joia represents himself at this hearing. He is seeking a variance in order to expand current living space and re-arrange and build a new deck. Mr. Joia was before the Board in 2006 for a variance but did not complete that addition(a different version) due to septic placemen issues. The Board notes that he is burdened with two frontages. Mr. Nelson discusses the fact that at the previous hearing in 2006 he was asked to remove the circular driveway since the by-laws do not allow 2 driveway entrances. Applicant will abide by this request. The Board notes that the lot coverage will be at 12.76%. The
