Mashpee Zoning Board of Appeals Minutes • 2 December 12, split off a portion of this lot. He kept 40,000 wheree his his house is and the other parcel is just over 11,000 square feet. Mr. West is looking for a variance for lot size since the zoning requirement is 40,000 square feet for that street/area. He is aware that he must maintain 15 foot sideyard setbacks as well. The Board reviews the plot plan and listens to Mr. West's letter and application. After discussion back and forth, the Board feels that Mr. West has created this hardship (the undersized lot) and is far different than other undersized lots the Board has granted variances to. Mr. West strongly disagrees with the Board and feels a variance is a variance — especially when he is trying to sell it to someone that will make a year round home with his young family. Bob Nelson along with the rest of the Board feels this is a very different situation and would not vote in favor of the variance. They suggest to Mr. West that he withdraw the application or the Board will deny it. Mr. West decides to listen to the Board and asks that the application be withdrawn. The Board agrees and signs the withdrawal.

As he has previously done in this development is seeking to have 2 more parcels of land to be deemed buildable. He is seeking 25 foot frontage and 17,500 square foot landspace variance to reach the code of 40,000 square feet to build a single family dwelling.which he has enveloped on the plot plan. He needs no further variance for setback relief from any side and will conform to all height requirements which shall be no more than 35 feet. Additionally, the lot coverage will remain at no more than 20%.
