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. Donald McDonald—appliants uncle, represented them at this hearing. They are seeking variances on the setback requirements in order to build a deck on a very small lot. This lot is in the Popponesset Overlay District and requires 25 feet setback in the front, and 15 feet on the sides. Applicant originally came into the ZBA's office with a request of well over 25% lot coverage for this deck. Lori Corsi explained to the applicant that the ZBA will not allow more than 20% lot coverage in total. Mr. Hayes returned with a plan reducing the size of the deck considerably thus the 20.04 lot coverage, which negligible. The Board reviews the plans and finds the house very small as well as the lot. 4
