The Mashpee Zoning Board of Appeals issues this Decision pursuant to the provisions of Massachusetts General Laws Chapter 40A Section 10 and the Town of Mashpee Zoning By-laws. Donna Reed represents herself at this hearing. She is seeking a variance in order to install a built in swimming pool on her lot. She is burdened with maintaining two frontages as her lot sits on the corner of Devonshire Drive and Cambridge Drive. There are no abutters with any concerns on this application. This matter was continued from July 13, 2005 as the Board required a total lot coverage figure on the set of plans from the engineer. The structures on the property both existing and proposed will be 12.4% which is well under the 20% maximum allowable lot coverage. The Board moves to grant a 9.2 foot variance on the Devonshire Drive side.
