Mashpee Zoning Board of Appeals Minutes • 4 December 12, 2007 Sitting: Robert Nelson, Zella Elizenberry, Jonathan Furbush, George Bolton and James Reiffarth. Brian Harris from Bennett Engineering represents the applicants at this hearing. They are seeking a special permit to alter a pre-existing non -conforming structure and a variance for setback relief from a pre-existing deck that was there when they purchased the house. It sits at 8.4 feet off the lot line, but applicant is not making it anymore detrimental or pushing it closer to the lot line. The Board reviews the plans and discusses with Mr. Harris whether the setback is 10 or 15 feet. The Board informs him that it is not • a cluster subdivision and the new construction of the garage must be 15 feet from the lot line. The Board would like to see the garage pushed back farther so no variance is needed. Mr. Nelson reads a letter in to the record from Marilyn Sinkiewicz who abuts the applicant on the side where the existing deck is. She is opposed to a variance being granted and states "she does not want another structure built closer to my lot line." Mr. Nelson asks Mr. Harris if they can clip the corner of the deck to at least make it 10 feet from the neighbors lot line. Mr.Sawyer, the builder, says they can do that no problem. They will also push the garage to 15 feet. They also discuss the entrances — the owner would like to keep both the circular driveway and the regular one. Mr. Harris also says they. need to go to Conservation tomorrow evening and that while the ZBA would grant their requests conditioned on approval from Conservation, there are changes the ZBA needs to see made and ask that this be continued until January 9" to approve all the changes and have them get through conservation as well.
