Mashpee Zoning Board of Appeals Minutes • 2 September 12, 2007 Sitting: Robert Nelson, Zella Elizenberry, Jonathan Furbush, George Bolton and James Reiffarth. • • John Slavinsky represents the applicant at this hearing. They are seeking a variance in the front and on. the sideyard. Mr. Slavinsky explains that although the lot is almost an acre there is a vernal pool in the rear of the lot and that of course necessitates conservation to have the house be at least 100 feet from the vernal pool. Applicant hired a consultant who specializes in this matter and an order of conditions was issued on December 2, 2004 which is good until December 2, 2007. The neighborhood consists of houses that all have 2 car garages however due to the limits of this lot, Mr. Marsters is proposing to make the garage a one car and the house smaller. They have placed the house in the best position they can but 'still need a setback -variance. The remainder of the lot will forever be conservation restricted. Applicant is also burdened with a double frontage and must adhere to 40 feet setbacks on both fronts. Mr. Nelson informs the applicant that the road was just paved and taken as a public way. He does not want to see the road destroyed with heavy construction trucks. Mr. Marsters states that he will put a stone apron on the pavement to protect it. The whereabouts of the gas line is also questioned and Mr. Marsters states this is not a problem. Louis Falcone of 62 Wintergreen has some questions for the applicant. He has no problem with the project but was just curious to see if it fits the neighborhood. He reviews the plans and has no problems with the project. Mr. Nelson feels there is plenty of burden to grant the variance for applicant. Jonathan Furbush moves to grant a 2 foot frontyard setback variance and a 4 foot variance on the northerly side. Zella Elizenberry seconds the motion. All agree. So moved. Reference plans from Ferreira Associates of Falmouth, MA, dated May 25, 2004, Plan No. WO I.
