Mark and Mary Beth Tobin: Request a Variance from Section 174-31 of the Zoning By-laws to vary the landspace requirements and frontage requirements in order to build a new dwelling on property located in an R-3 zoning district at 96 Captains Row (Map 96 Parcel 12) Mashpee, MA. Sitting: Robert Nelson, Zella Elizenberry, Jonathan Furbush, George Bolston and James Reiffarth. Attorney Bruce Gilmore represents the applicants at this hearing. They are seeking a Special Permit in order to raze and replace a pre-existing non -conforming structure. The applicants will be making the new structure more conforming and will not need any setback variances. Once the house is demolished however, the lot becomes vacant and • needs to adhere to current landspace zoning of 40,000 square feet whereby it only contains 15,200 square feet with only 101 feet of frontage. Applicant is therefore seeking a landspace variance and a frontage variance. The proposed lot coverage is 18.5% The rolling topography is criteria for a variance to be granted and the existing dwelling is not code compliant and the house would require extensive remodeling and it would be very costly. The Board reviews the plans and asks that the existing dwelling be highlighted so they can compare the two since there is so much grading on the plot plan it is difficult to view. The Buildcr William Reich assists the lawyer with the plans as well as the homeowner. After further discussion, Jonathan Furbush makes a motion to grant a 24,800 square foot landspace variance and a 49 foot frontage variance. Zella Elizenberry seconds the motion. All agree. So moved. Jonathan Furbush makes a motion to grant the Special Permit. James Reiffarth seconds the motion. All agree. So moved.
