Mashpee Zoning Board of Appeals Minutes 5 October 25. 2006 • in the neighborhood. The Board discusses the size of the lots and the possibility of joining all three lots together. It is suggested that a very large home could then be built on that one lot and it would deregate from the look of the other houses. The Board of Health would have to impose only a one bedroom home on each lot unless other arrangements and septic designs are put into place. The Board also discusses putting an envelope on the lot showing where the house would go and possibly going back to the old setback requirements. The Board would like to see what the other setbacks are on other residences across the street and next door. Attorney Garner agrees to have this checked out and asks for a continuance in order to get this done. The Board agrees to continue the matter until December 13, 2006.

Sitting: Robert Nelson, Zella Elizenberry, Frederick Bergeson, Marshall Brem, and • lonathan Forbush. Stephen LaLiberte of Cape Style Builders represents the applicants at this hearing. They are seeking a special permit to build an accessory apartment and a variance to seek relief from the setback requirement of 25 feet on the side and 40 feet from the street. They are proposing a garage with the accessory apartment above it. The house is currently. restricted to 3 bedrooms which is what is has now so the builder would have to open up one of the existing bedrooms to have a 6 foot opening and seal off the closet as the board has requested before when it is necessary to reduce an existing bedroom. Applicant is looking forjust under 15 feet on the northwesterly side for the variance request. There is some opposition from abutters John Ellis oI'5 Autumn Drive and Tom Perry of 6 Autumn Drive. They feel strongly that the proposed garage is too close to the side line for a lot just over 10,000 square feet. They discuss the parking dangers since the existing driveway is such a steep hill and feel a two car garage is too over -powering for the lot and the neighborhood. They discuss other areas to put the garage however, Mr. LaLiberte mentions there is the septic system to consider. They discuss going to a one car garage however this is not what his customer is looking for. "file Board tends to agree with the abutters and is also not happy with the parking situation. Atter much discussion regarding parking and lack thereof, the Mr. Nelson asks for a vote. Zella Elizenberry wishes to abstain from the voting. Robert Nelson denies the both motions. Jonathan Furbush denies both motions. Frederick Borgeson denies both motions. Marshall Brem denies both motions. This is all denied without prejudice.
